Maybe at first but then it will be hard too maintain a 2lb a week loss. I agree, try to eat more than 1200 calories (this is coming from a post 1200 calorie eatter)

You are welcome to add me. I have a 10 year old and a 6 year old, both boys.

Nice! I see a difference. Great job

Great job! You look amazing.

I nursed my 2nd son 6 years ago, he's almost 7 now. For me, it wasn't about calories really it was about production. If I was making enough, then I was doing the right thing. The way I look at it is your baby is eatting what you are eatting in the form of milk. So stuff like fried foods clearly were not in the mix for me.…

Hi! I'm so glad I found this group....I'm Jen. I am a stay at home and a work at home mom of 2 boys, 10 and 6. So in a nutshell, I have a home office to satisfy my employer and never ever ever have to go into work. Best of both worlds! I live in a suburb of Chicago. I have always been involved in sports and dance but as I…

Congrats on your triple bundles of joy!

I eat about half if not more of my exercise calories back each day. I started not eatting them back and was starving. There are alot of ideas on this out there, do what you think works for you. If you are hungry and have the calories to spare then eat.

Welcome! Feel free to add me, we have similar stats. I'm 5'3 currently 142 with a goal weight of 125, I'm just 10 years older than you :)

I don't know the correct answer but I've seen alot of diaries where they eat 1000 calories at lunch and then not the rest of the day. To me it seems unhealthy but I don't know for sure. I just know that would never work for me. I always went with the recommendation of eatting 6 small meals throughout the day.

Exactly!

Congratulations!

You should be proud of yourself, you are stunning!

I've been maintaining 1200 pretty easily, once I got past the first week.

Amazing! Congratulations, you look awesome.

The only thing Hydroxycut was good for, for me was heart palpitations. I wouldn't do it.

Exactly what she said. You can do this!

Congratulations on your achievement!

I have the same problem. I have kids though so I have treats for them in the house. I have to hide the stuff so it's not in the pantry or fridge and kind of forget about it until I pack lunches. For me it is all mental. If I start I cannot stop so what I eat in place of junk is hummus on carrots, peanut butter on wheat…

Welcome! I'm a mom of 2 boys, feel free to add me. I'm addicted to MFP and always on.

You look great. Congratulations!

I have a friend who lost 18 lbs in 10 days from juicing but was miserable. Glad to hear that you are incorporating other foods into your plan. Ninja systems has a blender/juicer about $100. Good luck!

What is more important is what you do within the week than the day. So if you are feeling hungry then eat and maybe try to maintain a deficit the next few days so it all averages out.

Congrats! You are gorgeous. Keep up the good work!

Im 5' 3" and my goal weight is 125 currently 145. I was between 108-118 before kids and was told I looked sick and almost dead at that weight but that does fall in my recommended weight range. Go for what you feel good with and don't pay too much attention to the recommendations.

OMG you are awesome! WOW!

You are so cute! Great job!
