How often he nurses and how much solids he eats play a role. Also his weight. I believe. And I may be wrong. That an EBF baby will eat double the ounces they are in lbs. so my 15 lb baby will be drinking approx 30 oz a day. A 20 lb baby 40 oz.

Synthetic meals will never be as good as real meals. So no I never have. Do you need extra calories??? Then try blending up a banana some spinach and nuts in milk (any milk or vegan milk will do). Synthetic meals are fake and fake food isn't as healthy as real food. There was a study where a guy ate powerbars and shakes.…

How often does your child nurse? I was told the body burns an average of 20 calories per 1 oz of milk. I would assume a toddler is getting about 6-8 oz every session????

Thank you everyone. And as odd as it seems I think MelissaPF hour advice to just go buy some cute clothes in my current size might just be all I need to feel better about being in this very annoying limbo phase. Then I won't feel so discouraged and impatient!

I had a really hard pregnancy and I now that I feel like myself again I want to LOOK like myself again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's actually 3 months ago. So JKAL1979 what do you think I should do? Not weigh my food, stop working out, wait a few months to start again? I really have no clue what i "should" be doing. I just know I DONT want to have to buy all new clothes again. NOTHING FITS but my maternity clothes and it sucks to wear maternity…

Thx

Ok ok. Will weigh food starting tomorrow

No I'm not weighing my food. I have 2 small kids I'm lucky if I GET to eat. MFP tells me to eat more!!! It wants me to eat 1200 and when I fall below that I get this warning. I'm 5'3. My goal weight is 106 but would be happy at 112.

I have a distrust of any unnatural lab- concocted sweetener. I noticed whenever I drank a diet soda I got a headache soon after so I just don't use the stuff. My theory is it gives your body's capacity to turn on/off its sweet tooth a false sense of what calories = sweetness causing you to Have a stronger sweet tooth. But…

Nothing to add here but only here to tell you I know how you feel. I've been in a plateau and even hired a personal trainer bc it's driving me nuts. I have 25 lbs more to loose after baby. It'll be happy with 20. I'm breastfeeding which adds a whole another mystery factor to my problem bc I have no clue how many calories…

Have a friend who does this wOrk out w you. Or have a friend or family member call you to encourage you. After 10 days of forcing yourself it should become habit.

Friend me.

Google gallo pinto recipe Any beans and rice recipe Buy a spiralizer and there's great recipes on inspiralized dot com

ⓣⓗⓐⓝⓚ ⓨⓞⓤ Based on my baby's size I think 500 is more accurate (I've been putting 300). Appreciate it. I'll buy a food scale.

And I add 300 calories to my daily meals for my breastfeeding.

I'm 5'3" 35 years. Normally 105-110 lbs currently 128-130. I don't use a scale no. My diary is open. I see a personal trainer MWF for core/strength/power and T TH S I do cardio on the eliptical (lowest setting just 20-30 min)

Thanks. Ok. I downloaded an app called better fonts. It's like emoji.

Oh u don't like religion. Ok meditation is perfect for you.

Meditation. Jon kabat zinn & Eckart Tolle books. If u can get ten days off www.dhamma.org is phenomenal and life changing. Prayer -- whatever religion you like works.

Skin takes up to a year to shrink back. So that part is temporary. There are facial exercises you can do for your face to prevent sagging and fix asymmetry. As for your self esteem - your mom sucks!!!!! I think you should so some major soul searching. Beauty comes from within. Has nothing to do w skin or looks. I love the…

If it wasn't clear to others as well from my first post I AM PREGNANT W SECOND BABY. Was just using the breastfeeding example to clarify I know it's possible to just add calories to your goal.

Hey Tyronne. I am pregnant. So I can't weigh my baby.

Wow you look great for 183. My lord. Where would the weight come off ???? Maybe just shoot for 160 (23 lbs). No clue how or where the weight will come off. You look just like I do (I'm 112 lbs but 5 2) well when not pregnant. Ha

Unfortunately your best intentions are probably making it worse. I suggest when you get her counseling TO ALSO get counseling to see your role in this and to let go of some control issues. So sorry to say it.

Meditation (dhamma.org) or exercise.

LOL yeah, thats when I know baby need to eat: they are square and hard like bricks :)

I drank a beer which I never do bc I heard the yeast causes your milk to come in. Within two hours I was leaking everywhere. That's how I knew my milk came in. I would say its not really bigger but HARD and square boobs lol.

Welcome. Friend me if you want!!!! I hear ya. I gained about 10 prior to getting preggo. I'm about four lbs away from that goal now :)

Beans and rice is healthy cheap and high in calories and protein, low in fat. Hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, cottage cheese are good snacks too. Maybe try making a rich smoothie on the days you exercise, tossing in nuts which are dense.
