  • I waited until 12 weeks postpartum and then tracked what I was eating and what I weighed each morning for 2 weeks before coming up with a weight loss plan. I was able to eat 2500 calories a day and lose 1.5-2lbs a week while nursing each of my children. Everyone is different but nursing made me burn A LOT of calories. I…

  • I started running at 4 months postpartum, 6 years ago. I would run the same route 3-4 mornings per week and each week I would increase my distance by 1-2 blocks. I think the key is slow jogging to begin with. It took me 3 months to work up to 4 miles and then I felt confident to increase my mileage more aggressively. I…

  • I lose weight by meticulously weighing food and counting calories alone, but not at the same rate as when I'm exercising even if I eat back my activity calories. I think it is because I have pcos and insulin resistance, the exercise helps my endocrine system operate properly.

  • Mine have not gotten smaller at all, and I have lost weight and recently weaned my daughter. I was a 32GG at 9 months pregnant, and I am a 32GG now 40lbs later. I am only 5'4 so my boobs are way too big. I am actually considering a reduction once I hit my goal weight. I wear a size 6 in jeans and I have to buy a size 14 in…

  • I weigh myself everyday. I think it is only bad if it discourages you. Weighing myself everyday helps me to stay on task. I don't freak out about minor fluctuations, but if I notice I am up 3lbs overnight I reexamine what I ate the day before to see what I could do better. When I only weigh in once a week it makes me slack…

  • My husband and I went through two years of fertility treatments. During that time I got very dperessed, ate too much, drank wine too often to make myself feel better, and shot myself full of hormones on a regular basis. Turns out that is a recipe for total disaster when it comes to your weight. I still worked out on a…

  • Have you been checked for pcos or other endocrine issues? I just ask because I have battled pcos for ten years now and I cannot lose weight eating a lot of sugar. I noticed that you eat lowfat dressing etc, and a lot of time to improve the flavors of lowfat or fat free items they add extra sugar. I have found that it is…

  • Everyone is different. I consider myself to have a medium frame and I am 5'4. At my weight right now (142lbs) I wear a size 6 and my jeans are actually a bit loose. I am trying to get to 135 because I have some endocrine problems that I am hoping to fix with weight loss. I have a friend who is actually 5'5 and weighs the…
