Hi! I am 32 and have a 7.5 mo old little one. I have always struggled with eating mindfully & I really let myself go giving in to all my cravings while pregnant & the trend is still continuing. I am looking to lose 40 lbs & you can guess what my new year resolution (same as every year :( ) would be. Add a full time job +…

Hi Crystal. I am in the same boat. I have PCOS and I let old habits take over me & I would like to get to 170 for now. Baby steps. I am at 185 right now. I am on day of low carb high fat.

YOU CAN DO IT!! I am starting again today too! My day 1 :)

I am in too :)

I am feeling the same way..actually all day today i kept thinking about chocolate and comfort food :(

I am in the same boat as you..dont feel disheartened..some of us really have a hard time seeing the foods we love..I beat myself up for letting myself go over a box of sweets that arrived from home all the way for me..i did indulge but then i also shared..the old me would have never shared my dessert with anyone. :P…

Hey there.. I can understand how it feels..Its really hard at the end of the day u come home from work all u want to do is sit on the couch, eat and relax. But like u said, u have your little one for whom u want to get healthy. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and MFP is great there is enormous support out here. I…

Thank you for starting this :) I am flying in December to go home (India) would be hard for me to resist my mom's handmade dishes but this challenge can help me stay motivated to atleast be active everyday. Looking forward to it :D

Yes my goal is to start incorporating weights in my routine. I am just so intimidated in the weight room. For 2 years now I think I can still just do dumbell curls etc with 10pound weights. I thought I am doing something wrong since I cant lift heavier even after 2 years but then it may also be since I do weights just once…

Thats such a great tip. Not eating back your exercise calories. I used to do the opposite since I felt oh I think I can eat a little. I guess I can stop doing that and see how it impacts. Thanks for the tip :)

Thank you so much guys! I guess each one of you pointed out I wasn't being as dedicated as before and consistent with my goals. I ate all my exercise calories back. Thank you to each one of you for taking the time to give your opinions/encouragement i know some of you have given longer replies that means a lot to me :) My…
