Hi ladies! My little girl is due on April 19, 2016! I just re-joined MFP today, after a very long hiatus! I’ve been letting my eating and exercise habits slowly slip down, so I’m trying to hold myself accountable again. My calories are set at 1930, but I may adjust if I think I need to. I’ve already gained a little more…

Thanks so much for saying this.

I am getting married soon, and I don't think I would get too worked up about it. That being said, I know lots of people who would -- and reasonably so! I say just don't risk it. I doubt anyone has a closet full of all-white formal wear. There are a million other colors out there, just pick something else!

For me, it’s all about balance. I don’t want to completely derail my progress, but I also want to enjoy social events, eat foods that I love, and keep my sanity. If I know that I’m going out to dinner or to a party, I try to pre-plan what I’ll eat and work it into my day. That being said, occasionally I’ll go over a couple…

CHEX MIX. I will sit and inhale an whole family sized bag if there's one in the house.

Wow! Amazing accomplishment!

I always work out during my TOM! It makes me feel so much less fatigued and sluggish. That being said, I tend to do more cardio than normal during that week. I get pretty bad muscle aches, and lifting doesn't help!

Hi and welcome! I'm from Wisconsin, too :). You are making a hugely positive change just by joining! This site is full of people who understand where you're coming from and want to help. It's not always an easy process, but it is sooo worth it! I'm sending you a friend request now. Hopefully we can support each other!

I definitely teared up! It was awesome, though! I loved the Peter Capaldi and Tom Baker cameos.

I really like Special K Protein! It fills me up until lunch, whereas with most cereals, I'm hungry an hour later. I also really like Kashi Berry Blossoms -- they taste like Crunch Berries!

Thanks! I came across this program and it seems like it's gotten pretty positive reviews. I will definitely look into it more :)

Ohh, that runnersworld site sounds like it might be exactly what I need. Thanks! :)

Of course, but I think there's a big difference between being healthy and having her body. Plenty of people, myself included, eat well, exercise regularly, and are at a healthy weight, but don't look like a fitness model.

This is my take – agree with me or don’t. I think this would have been a perfectly appropriate post if the caption had been something positive and encouraging. Saying “hey look, I’m a mom of 3 who also works, and I was able to focus on this awesome goal and make it happen!” is totally okay. What’s not okay, in my opinion,…

I'm 22 and graduated from college in May. Feel free to add me! :)

Hi! I'm 22 and am on MFP daily! Feel free to add me :)

I no longer work out in the mornings, but when I did, I would split my breakfast up. Ex: a banana or hard boiled egg before the gym, to give me the energy to get through, then some oatmeal or toast with peanut butter afterwards. It worked well for me! As others have said, it's a personal choice. Maybe experiment a bit and…

5'4", 125, size 4

So many delicious sounding ideas! Thank you everybody!! I'll be a cooking fiend this weekend! ;)

Ohhh, that sounds yummy!

I usually graze throughout the day, rather than eat a full meal. While at work today, I’ve gone through some baby carrots with hummus, a light string cheese, and a Fiber One bar. I’ll probably have an apple in an hour or so…and maybe a few Wheat Thins, if I’m hungry enough :)

I'm interested! :)

Hi, Madisonians! :)

Hey, gals and gals! I am brand new to MFP! I am 22, 5'4" and 125 pounds. I do not want to lose weight, but want to work on eating cleaner and tracking my mindless munching! I think being held accountable will be great for me :). Feel free to add me!
