  • There is an ebf option in food- it adds 500 calories to your day.

  • Mine is private. I know myself- if I want my logging to be totally honest, it has to be for my eyes only. Otherwise I will be embarrassed if I have a cheat day or just slip up and I will feel like I shouldn't log what I ate because I don't want others to see my mistakes. I think you should do whatever keeps you honest with…

  • My goal seems really small! I'm aiming for 100 calories a day though intentional exercise, so 700 a week.

  • Blueeyes25s, I totally understand! The only time I've found is in the afternoon when all three kids have an overlap in their naptime- I get about a 30 minute break. I hate not being able to shower afterward, but oh well. I miss my early morning workouts! But I am way too tired to exercise in the am after feeding the baby…

  • Starting weight: 124 40 day goal: 120 Ultimate goal: 115 I am nursing a new baby- he will be 1 month old this week- so my goal is small and hopefully attainable.

  • Hi Amanda, I'm still here. :). So glad you guys are doing well! Sorry about your stitches. :/. No fun. We're doing pretty well here. Benny seems to have been born knowing night from day and I'm VERY thankful for that! My older two are quite taken with him, which is also good. I am now 9 lbs away after gaining a pound this…

    in 2 months pp Comment by rosy003 July 2013
  • Yes, the water will certainly help. Thanks ladies! I also think that I was playing mind games with mfp- for some reason using the -500 calories was making me eat more than just setting my own goal to add the 500 in. Not sure if that makes sense. So seeing a total of 1300 at the bottom of the screen was making my brain…

  • This is me at 5'3 and 115 lbs last summer. I just had baby #3 and I will aim to get back to that weight in the next 6 months (I'm nursing a baby so these last 8 lbs won't come off too quickly). It depends on your body, but I definitely don't think I looked too thin.
    in 5'3/5'4 best weight? Comment by rosy003 July 2013
  • Congrats everyone! We made it! I weigh in again on Thursday but I'm not expecting much change. I can't stop eating! I lost 16 of the 25 I gained by 1 week pp. I hold on to 5-10 lbs while nursing ( at least I did with my first 2 kids). I'm eating like a linebacker and I've been over my mfp calorie goal pretty much every…

  • I am about to cut dairy as well. I'm going to try cutting everything except Greek yogurt first. I really can't imagine NOT eating yogurt, but if it doesn't work I'll cut that too. I don't think substitutions are really worth it. Non-dairy cheese just doesn't work the same in baking and cooking, so I'll just do without. I…

  • We went through this with my second. We would bounce with him in front of the microwave fan for what felt like ALL night and day. White noise helped us a lot, but it was a rough few months. Hang in there! It does get better!

  • BBeccaJean- I'm sorry you're still swollen! That's no fun at all! 1 week pp for me today- down 16 of 25 lbs gained. I'm interested to see if the loss continues. With my first 2 kids I held on to 5-10 lbs until I stopped breast feeding. I set my calories yesterday to lose 1/2 lb per week +500 and I went way over because I…

  • My go-to smoothie is: 1 c raw spinach 1 c frozen strawberries 1 c frozen blue berries 1 banana 1 c nonfat Greek yogurt, plain 8 oz oj (my SIL prefers diet v8 splash for fewer calories) This serves 3-4. I neve really measure the fruit, just eyeball it.

  • ZombieSlayer, she is beautiful! Congrats! My swelling is basically gone, thankfully! So far Benny has been our easiest baby yet. We'll see how long that lasts! He's starting to be awake more during the day and last night he slept great! We go in for a weight check this morning so I'll find out if he's nursing as well as I…

  • Kori, she's beautiful! I had an u/s Wed. morning to check fluids and they estimated this guy to be 8 lbs 15 oz. The dr also stripped my membranes, which didn't hurt as much as I thought it might. I was 4 cm dilated Wed. morning. Wed. night at 7 pm I noticed contractions and timed them. DH and the kids had gone to my MIL's…
