Add me as well! I have open diary & would love more friends. I'm a mommy to 4 little ones, began this site in 2013 had great success but left when I got pregnant again. Just returned recently since I'm done nursing, trying for more success! Wishing you all the best on your journey!

Please feel free to add me. I'm 5'1 and usually stay 125 lbs. mom to 4 little ones, ages 18 months, 4, 6 and 8! Wishing you all the best!

I usually eat a little more than 1200, but you're free to add me on. I'm a mom to 4 young ones & I agree it's a completely additional challenge with the young ones to care for. Also, I agree with shadow2soul, skinny taste is a super resource! Best wishes to you!

JUST posted my diary for today and totally said the same thing!!! I do pretty awesome during the day and then get my 4 cuties down for bed and eat! It's a terrible habit, I do not do it all the time but even if I do not, I find myself fighting the whole night avoiding it! It's how I relax myself I think, grabbing for…

I think better shape in a little over a month is quite possible. I am a mommy to 4 children, ages 8, 6, 3 and 16 months. I know how you feel I think! It's so tough, but be patient with yourself, too! I believe mixing up your workouts is very important. Same exercise day after day is not always the best option. I suggest…

I love beets, cucumbers, goat cheese and almonds or walnuts in my salads... with balsamic vinegar and a tad of olive oil; I also love prepping hard boiled eggs for the week and I throw 1 or 2 of them in there, too

I try to eat the things I enjoy and have the protein I need. Eggs, tuna and avocado with salad, nuts and nut butters, and yogurt help and taste great, too! Best wishes to you!

I have 4 children so I could be there every week practically! However, like many have suggested... I say in terms of prices... frozen fruit, fresh spinach, nuts, eggs and all the non food items such as paper products like kleenex, tp and paper towels are worth it.

Hi there Kate, your program sounds very awesome and it is most important that you love it and have such a great interest in it because it combines dance! I say if you are getting results and enjoy it, then keep at it! I have enjoyed tabata workouts and Jillian Michaels DVDs are great, too... since it is hard you said to…

Sounds like you were very successful with the cardio--- congrats! From what you have shared, you are a strong woman and hard worker. Love it! I hope this helps, just basing this on my personal experience and that of many friends who have been successful with their weight loss. I am sure everyone is different but I say…

Wow- you are beautiful! Amazing work and thank you for inspiring us!

Oh I forgot to say usually if you make all the necessary changes you can for sure see a difference in 4 weeks. Yet everyone is different. You are young, it may happen sooner!

Looks like you have received some good advice pertaining to weight training, eating back calories, and avoiding the fruit juice. Super job on decreasing the soda! And the swimming sounds like a great exercise for you. I truly recommend power yoga as an exercise to strengthen your upper arms. It has toned my body…

Maybe share your diary and others may be able to give you some good feedback. But I agree eating more often/greater number of small meals and the healthy fats may be helpful. Best of luck to you!

Happy to help in any way! You look amazing and congratulations on the new baby! They are just way too cute, right? I find myself wanting another... just have to convince the husband now. Ha! I hear what you mean about chasing the kids around and feeling like there is no time to eat. That's when I find myself grabbing…

I have 3 children and nursed them all for a year or longer. I am not a professional anything, just a mom. It seems your cals are low though if it's ok for me to say. You are burning calories as you nurse, so your body needs much more calories throughout the day. Please be careful... my suggestion is to contact your…

You look great! Wow...:smile: Way to go, and amazing dedication! You are doing it in a healthy and smart way, too. All the best to you always!

Plan is to get up early, run hard and do some calisthenics and then enjoy the day with family... with small portions and hoping to make smart choices. For me, we have most of this food around us all year long. So this is a constant struggle for me, but yes, holidays mean even more temptations! Too many sweets, which are my…

Oh my gosh! Peanut butter and nutella (not together though) are my weakness!:smile: Love, love!

I am just under 5'2... I am about 121-123. I would love to be at 115-118 but I am finding this last few pounds is tough to lose! It came off pretty quickly once I started to eat right and small portions throughout the day. I began this journey in January of this year at about 150. With a gain in muscle I realize I am very…

Hello! Congrats on all you have already accomplished and for being so very healthy! I truly found variety in my workouts is what worked best for me in terms of that last 10-15 pounds... and of course monitoring my food intake and sugar here on MFP. If you are doing the cardio and strength conditioning, maybe you can ask…

Welcome back! You are already doing a wonderful thing by committing yourself to come back and work at it, great job! Being a mom and remembering to take care of yourself is tough work, I know! I am a mom to 3 beautiful children- 1, 4 and 5 years. Feel free to add me. My advice: Do something different for your body, switch…

Strong and happy!

You can add it to shakes... almond milk, chocolate protein, peanut butter... whatever you'd like in there. Also, you can add a little bit of honey and almond milk to make your oatmeal that way. Also milk and cut up bananas warmed up with the oats are delicious. One more idea: mash up 3 ripe bananas, 2 cups of those oats,…

Sorry, I forgot how to check this... I am not involved with the fleet feet running group just not sure I could fit it into my schedule... 3 kids {excuses, excuses, etc} I just usually run with the dog when the weather cooperates. However, I do have friends that began their running journey with fleet feet and they always…

Just joined a couple of weeks ago- mom of 3 beautiful children. Live near Highland Park. Excited to begin this journey.

Hello and welcome! So wonderful that you are taking the time to take care of *you*. I am a mom of 3 children- 5 years, 3 years and 11 months. They are my joy and I stay at home as well. It is imperative to take care of myself even if it's just for 30 min a day so that I am a better mommy and setting a healthy example for…

In the cardio strength classes I am taking at the gym- we do a bunch of weight work and squats and she has us hold a weight in each hand and sit low in a open leg squat {left leg at 11 o'clock and right leg at 2clock} and lift the weights. Also helps core. You have to truly pretend you are sitting, chest up and core in. Do…
