I started counting calories a few weeks after my son was born. I kept mine around 1700, and then after a few months, dropped it to around 1400. I lost all the weight, but my supply really really suffered. If you're BFing, I suggest staying closer to 2000 calories.. I wish I had. He's 7 months old now and I only produce…

OOohhh I love Subway! Check out my diary =) Yes, I count my veggies. Most have zero calories.. but they still have other stuff I like to track. Great question!!

My plan (since I was like 5 years old lol) was to get married when I was 24 and have kids when I was 26. Instead.. I got married when I was 21 and had a baby boy when I was 23. He's 7 months old now. I wanted to wait. I wanted to travel the world. I wanted to start a career. Now all I want is to snuggle with my baby, kiss…

You look fantastic!! Good job.. and good luck with the rest of your journey!! :happy:

Got my vote.. Good luck!!!!

That is incredible.. Congrats!!!!

Woohoo Awesome!!!!

Oh my word.. awful!!

haha I was being sarcastic about my sugar addiction, Silly! And my only advice is that if you're eating fast food, and not getting the results you want, then you need to alter your food choices! I'm not perfect by no means! I just know what works for me! I love Subway.. and I eat it sometimes.. Mmmmm! But I'm at my goal…

Just for that ^^^^^ I am going to go grab a bottle of water and drink it as fast as I can :laugh:

Weight Watchers fudge bars. Mmmmmm 45 calories per bar. :happy:

:flowerforyou: congrats!!!

I use Bio Oil. I have a small bottle.. It was maybe $10?? But it goes a LONG way and has worked wonders. It's maybe a 4 ounce bottle and has lasted me 7 months! Not only do my stretch marks look WAY better, but it has helped tighten the loose skin as well.

Yoga... I did it a few years ago. I was TERRIBLE! LOL But the instructor was so nice, and everyone else in there was too. I don't think anyone is good at yoga to start out with! There's my 2 cents!

I've totally done it before! In my head, if I could squeeze into the size 5, then I was a size 5. Not true, of course, but at the time, I thought it made sense!! Now I know better. :laugh:

I swear how I've worn my clothes over the years has affected my body! lol My friend has permanent indentions on her shoulders because of her bra straps (she has very big boobs :blushing:) But yeah.. Lot's of cardio, strength training, and healthy eating. Good luck!!

Oh my gosh.. that's the scariest looking creature I've ever seen..

MEEEEEEEEE!!! My face hasn't been like this since junior high.. What's the deal!?!?

Seriously... awesome job!! And you look younger, too!!!

You deserve this.. Wow.. your story is incredible. Congrats on all your hard work

Oh.. and my theory (I'm not doctor!) is that exercising increases your metabolism! It also builds muscle mass and makes you look like a supermodel! :happy:

If you're set at 1200, and then you go out and exercise and burn.. let's say.. 300, then you should actually consume 1500 (1200+300). MFP counts for this, though. As long as you're in the "green" on your calories for the day, then keep eating and fueling your well deserving body! Everyone is different, though. Just do what…

:brokenheart: :sad: I know the feeling!! Only for me, it's my chin(s). It's gotten better now, but I'll probably always have somewhat of a double chin.. so dumb!!

haha Good to know!

When!? Sounds terrifying.. I don't think I could handle it!

Ooooh my goodness... Agreed! My favorite foods were the ones with the highest calorie count. I was sick after realizing how bad a plate of Cajun Chicken Pasta from Chili's Bar and Grill is. It's what my husband always eats, but I will never touch that meal again!! :sad:

W-O-W!!! You look amazing :flowerforyou:

You should NOT be avoiding pics.. You look awesome! Great progress... WTG! :flowerforyou:
