  • I'm new too. Joined Friday. So far I've noticed that the majority of people on this site workout wayyyyy more than I do, but everyone has been really nice and supportive as well. I think logging my food is probably how I'm going to lose weight on here since it doesn't feel great to log things like "half gallon of ice…

  • Thanks all for the suggestions. I actually didn't realize that my calorie intake can effect my milk supply. I thought my body would just use it's reserves if I ate less. I will be sure to watch it carefully now. I've been taking in around 1200 calories per day since Friday, but I will up that to something between 1200 and…

  • He's 2 months old. Yeah, it sounds like you might have low blood sugar. The reason I gained 60 lbs during my pregnancy is that I had low blood sugar, low iron, and low blood pressure and I'd just eat whenever I felt like I was going to pass out (I actually did pass out many times) or if I was shaky/nauseous until I felt…

  • I think if you eat less of the bad food and more of the good, over time you stop craving the bad stuff so much and start liking healthy food a bit more. When I had my baby, it didn't go smoothly and I couldn't eat for 3 days. I think it kind of detoxed me from sugar because I didn't crave it when I got out. Then I went and…

  • I have an 8 week old and I've just been ignoring the fact that I breastfeed. I just don't log it (can you, anyway?) I'm afraid that if I eat 300-500 extra calories, I'll get used to doing that and pack on the pounds once I stop breastfeeding. I was eating 1800 calories, but disliked the 137 pound plateau that's been going…

  • I just joined MFP, but I find the success stories section to be very inspiring. Especially the posts of people who are a similar height as me. Also, logging everything I eat and every time I go on a walk seems to motivate me to live a healthy lifestyle. I don't think I will eat another carton of cookie dough ice cream…
