Yup, very aware, hard not to after four kids 😆

Thank you for all of this insight. I’ve lost 20-30 lbs a few times counting calories very closely and exercising (I used to just run) over the years since 2010. My 1800 calorie day with mild exercise and quick weight loss was also while exclusively breastfeeding a baby. (Or two, I have a set of twins). I’ve had 3…

Thank you for your help! I think after all I’m going to just stick to lower calories instead of getting into ketosis. I’m having a harder time losing weight after my second pregnancy for some reason, but need to just stick with the counting calories. Thank you for all your help.

It’s my second pregnancy. Last time I was able to lose a lot faster, but I was breastfeedng twins, so maybe that is why.

I have similar goals! Add me if you want some extra motivation! I want to lose 40 lbs by this summer if possible.

If I only ate healthy food I wouldn't lose! I breastfed twins already for two years and tried that...And didn't lose. I need to be watching calories. I could definitely set my calories to maintain and go from there. Thanks everyone!!

They will fit!!!!!

Maybe you should read about it instead of name calling and coming of ignorant and judgmental. Not to mention jealous and insecure. But go ahead. We are the ones losing weight

Height: 5'11 Weight: 155 Waist: 27 Hips: 38 Bust:34 Goal weight: 146 Big *kitten* in other words.

I am!!!! 20 lbs exactly!!!

I am 5'11...a bit taller...128 is a little small for your height. You have to pay attention to how you look, feel, what size you are, and of course measurements, but not so much weight. My measurements...and I only want to lose another 4-5 lbs... 5'11 157 35-27-40 (busy-waist-hips)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I wish I could get pregnant right now! after my marathon in November I might start trying. I think you should re-evaluate your goals to your desired weight gain for your pregnancy. You can say "gain 1 lb a week" for however you want to do so, and it will map out a calorie goal for you. I was trying to…

yay! awesome! THANK YOU ALL! very helpful!

haha yes...crack is funny and interesting, but I need CROCK pot ideas! hahaha you are funny

and to thrown it out there for everyone, I am 5'11, and over 150 lbs, so im not some scrawny petite girl, I am a BIG WOMAN

I did not mean to offend anyone by saying "gross". I know everyone has their own starting weight, and their own goals. I should not have used that word. I guess that is just how I felt that day. Everyone has their own confidence, lack of confidence, and mentality in their own body and for me, that is how I felt. thank you…

I am running my first half marathon in November. I run at a pace of 10 minutes a mile right now, and can run 4 miles thus far. I think anything from 2:15-2:45 would be fine. I set my predicted finish time from 2:22-2:34. Good luck with training!!

+14 (my weight loss) = 8251 thats insane!!!!!

Girl, you know I am in!!!! Keep in touch and we can check on each other...can we start tomorrow? I already ate a burger today...shhhh dont tell anyone!

I need to hit 145 by the end of June, so that will be my halfway point! yay im excited!

THank you all so much! I want to start today. I have double fiber bread that of course has sugar in it. I will trade that out for my Alvarado street bakery bread that is amazing for you with very few ingredients. I am going to cut out all dairy, which usually just adds fat and calories that do nothing for me. I am excited…

You look like you eat really healthy!! I wish I could eat like that. You could try salting your chicken just a little bit, I always add garlic salt to my chicken breast before I grill it. Then you could just make sure you are adding the salt. As far as protein goes, you should increase the amount of chicken you eat or add…

I am down 2 lbs so far this month. how is everyone else doing?

I started C25K a few months ago and stopped because my knees hurt. Can you run anywhere else aside from pavement? When I run now I try to run in grass or on softer surfaces as much as possible.

I will join you!! I want to lose 8 lbs this month. I lost 5 in February(when I started MFP) and only 4 in March. I need to get serious with exercising. I will add you as a friend so we can keep track
