This! Do follow the leader. She'll love to lead, play with mommy and you end up getting down on your bum, up, leap, jump, crawl etc. in general, not maybe excercise, but you can really raise your calorie consumption by simply moving with her rather than just watching her. I also support the push in a stroller and join a…

Do not buy crap so it is not around, try same with who you live with. And drink something that is slow to drink, like a really hot tea to keep you busy but with no calories. Also 120 for a tall girl you? Why?

Pack cheerios or similar in tupperware or buy granola bars. Lot less ewwww .

I drink hot chocolate every night too, all year round. I drink it for the chocolate, not the sugar, so I make mine in a small cup with skim milk, use only good cocoa, unsweetened, and make it extra hot and sometimes spicy so that it lasts longer ( slower to drink). If you are in it for the sugar, try artificial sweetener,…

Well put! Yuck! Same for berry flavored ones.

And eat them bright green, not overcooked canned green bean color. Most stuff turns gross if over cooked.

The zero point ones do have calories. Just less than ones with more points.

I am jealous!! Must add lifting to my routine!

Omelette or scambled eggs. Bit of milk and 1 egg is 80 cals, so if you eat 3 eggs worth, that's 240 cals, leaves room for veggies and tiny bit of oil if needed.

Wow, you all also look way younger inthe after pictures!!!

This. And no need to eat the mayo or cheese. And in general, do not finish the entire thing. One meal is not the end of the world, but maybe you could fit in extra exercise the following day?

No, because all runners are really fat?? Seriously, Running is cardio, which is wonderful to burn off calories and general health. Strenght training is also important.

Ok my belly also makes me look preggo often, but really, standing up straight ja a huge smile on your face will take take the attention away from the belly. And if everything else fails, stay waist deep in the water.

The goal weight really should depend on the individual. I'd be happy to get a few pounds in my boobs, but I never gain there....just in my belly and butt. :tongue:

I am 5'8" and you are at my goal weight. I am close to it soon too and losing 0.5/week only. In your shoes, I'd just maintain weight, exercise and eat back calories to tone, not look too thin.

Exactly! But whatever works for others.

Puree cooked veggies and mix into mashed potatoes, if scared, start with just a bit and slowky build to 1/3 or so, even more. Veggies that work well include: Butternut squash. Makes slightly sweater and gived golden color Spinach. Beautiful green color, works esp. well when serving salmon That parsnip would be amazing too,…

I find that I can eat much larger portions if I eat healthier foods, esp. Fruits and veggies. For me it is easier to stay full that way.

Yes. This.

I do not buy anything that I might want to eat at night ( like potato chips...I can finish one bag and dip all on my own....) And I try to sip a hot drink. To me it is a similar mindless habit like eating in front of TV at night. Hot tea has no calories, I also developed a taste for spicy unsweetened hot chocolate. The…

Drink, drink, and drink. That really helps with the milk. Also on most feedings, have the baby breast feed first and then give solids. This way he or she will eat more milk. he or she is still very young and should get most nutrition form you. You of course know this already. The milk has lots of calores, let the baby grow…

Because my calories are based on not exercising and if I exercise I consume more and can thus eat more without affecting my planned speed of weight loss. So as an example, if I can eat 1600 calories and lose .5 per week I can do that without any excercise. If I exercise daily, I can either speed up my weightloss by not…

How about: Pasta salad -whole wheat past or any other healthier grain -any veggies you like (tomato, bell pepper and zucchini work well) -frozen peas (helps keep your salad fresh longer), could be another frozen veggie too, but one you like to eat cold -basil or other fresh or dried herbs that go well with the veggies you…

Log all the food you eat and do it in any simple calculator, such as MFP( accuracy is not as necessary as ballpark). In its simplicity you just become so unaware of all calories that it it much easier to resist temptation. Or make a better choice.

:laugh: I have only lost human skin. Shoul I peel it of for real to doble the loss:tongue: The amount of sugar an American eats in a year??? About my normal weight!!

Beautiful! What a nice reward in the mirror everyday! Keep the good thing going!

Mississippi...Wow. Made me cry! How can a mom even try to be healthy in that environment with those selections.

Try plotting the same for obesity and use of mobile phones. Or maybe use of synthetic fabrics? I also recommend plotting the previously suggested people with out without shoes and obese people. If it is a graph it must be science, proven and true.....

For real? Try a community college or something to understand what science is. It is not an opinion or even an expert's account on something.

I will add that even a short under a month on MFP helps protect from rabid wombats! It MUST be true!
