Fantastic commitment to yourself! Your family must be so proud and your kids must love having a fit daddy! Way to go!

What has been working for me is to log any exercise that I do independently of my kids (like a DVD) and all of the big walks, hikes, or Baby & Me aquafit that I do. I eat back those calories. I don't log the regular, around-the-house or grocery-shopping wearing because i figure those calories burned are the ones that are…

Double post

My opinion is a bit different...I was sedentary when I worked full time in an office. I have mine set to moderately active now that I'm a busy mom of a two year old and a six month old (I wear him for hours every day). I still count exercise points on top of all that if I take the kids out for a long walk and am…

Wow wee! You look amazing and so very happy! Congratulations on your success. You're so inspiring!

Great job! You can really see a difference in how lean your face looks! Now everyone will know you've got a great bod even when you have a shirt on, just from your face!

This is such a personal decision, but I would encourage you to eat more and listen to your body's cues. You're supporting another body too, so your body is working hard mama. Plus, you've got 2 other littles, so I bet you never sit down. It takes about 20 weeks for your milk to regulate and you're halfway there. Can you…

This is a total winner!!! We loved it! My husband was excited to try it after walking in the door from work and smelling it cooking. He immediately said I needed to make it again and was excited for leftovers. Asian Edamame Fried Rice FTW!.

My toddler and I made these AGAIN last night. Third time in 10 days. He loves them. I used one of his apple/raspberry/cran fruit cups in place of applesauce bc it was all we had. Yum. Should also mention that I've never pulsed the oats, or let them soak for longer than 5 mi uses and they have still turned out well. Yay.

Hello Mama! You're doing so amazing! Really, you are. You just went through an incredibly physical year being pregnant and giving birth. You're working, pumping, and dealing with all the changes and curveballs a 4.5 month old is going through (teething, growth spurts, rolling over, and soon starting solids). Your sleep is…

My boys were/are HUGE babies. My sixth month old was measured in the 110% percentile in length and weight. He is 25 lbs and over 74 centimetres long (29 inches). He is wearing size 24 month clothes and should be in a size 5 diaper, but I'm trying to use up the rest of the 4s. Sometimes I'm a little self-conscious of his…

First of all, I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. It is an awful feeling. You are not the only one with a messy house and a laundry list of "to do"'s that never seems to end. I'm glad you're reaching out. My husband and I have talked recently about how wasteful we were with our time before our children were born. I fit…

My toddler and I made these again today. Came together so quickly now that I've made it once. We used pear purée instead of apple sauce (the baby has started solids so I was just using what was handy) and put 1/2 cup chocolate chips instead of blueberries! LOL! Yummy! Perfect thing to do on a rainy Monday afternoon!

Congratulations on your baby!! You're going to be okay! Your body has been through so much in the last year, including major abdominal surgery just two short months ago. You've done an incredible job to have already lost as much as you have! Yes, you will have stretch marks, but they will fade significantly over time. It…

Thanks for this inspiration! Great job! Go Granny Go!

Great job ladies! I made it too! Everyone at my house really liked this too! I actually used a chocolate graham cracker crust (bc it was on sale and the regulars ones weren't .... Hahaha) and as you can guess, it was pretty yummy! My dad is a diabetic too and my mom and I talked about leaving (or at least halving) the…

Just wanted to add.. We ate the remaining frozen patties this week. So they were in the freezer for about a month. Super delish still! Win!

Interesting!! When I served the leftovers, I loaded it with black pepper. That made it better. Great feedback!

This is one of the best success stories I've read in months! Congratulations! Don't be too sad about missing out on teaching your older child to ride - it's pretty special that each parent got a chance to teach a child such a milestone achievement. Now, you can swap when it's their turn to learn to drive! Way to go Momma!…

Great work and fantastic results! Your excitement shines thru in your post!!:smile:

I made this last night! Did the "better" method and then cooked on high for 4 hours. The house smelled amazing!! It was yummy and my husband liked it enough to agree to eat it as leftovers today (he doesn't do leftovers normally). He knows I made it as part of our recipe club so he was trying to give me some more feedback,…

Wow! You look amazing and I love the idea of making a video to my future self! Thank you!

As a new mom, thank you for pointing this one out. She looked fantastic in the unshopped pic and the baby was resting on her body.

Welcome and congratulations! I started MFP 110 days ago when DS#2 was 8 weeks old. I eat a lot and I'm still EBFing even tho babe will soon start solids (2 weeks from now-ish). I'm below my pre-preg weight already and am working on another 10 lbs - 8.5 to go! Friend request sent!

I also see a noticeable change near your armpit...lol...I don't know what else to call it. Front of your body, under your shoulder, in front of your armpit. Look at that cut!! Great job!

What were reasons behind your initial plan of pumping for 2-3 more weeks? Was it just bc your daughter would reach a round figure of age (ie 11 months old as opposed to 10.5 months old)? If so, I would stop pumping at work now and not worry about lasting another two weeks. I have always had oversupply issues, so didn't…

Absolutely amazing! Way to go! Thank you for sharing! You look fab!

Thanks for sharing and congratulations on a job well done!

I made this for dinner last night and it was a huge hit! It made the house smell delicious too! I only cooked 6 of the 8 patties bc I didn't have a pan big enough for 8, plus there were only 4 of us eating them (plus a toddler). I ended up serving it with a bag of Sweet Kale salad from Costco and some home made mushroom…

That is brilliant, funny, and a perfect summary of sleep training! Thanks for posting! I needed that laugh!
