Feel free to friend me! I’m happy to support you. It gets easier as the habit builds.

Would love to be accountable with you! I have been very faithful in the past, but lately have struggled with committing. I assure you I would check in with you each day as well. Let me know!

Please add me! Stay at home mom as well, needing accountability and to stay out of the kitchen!

I'd love a new accountability friend! I drifted away and now am back. Mom to 6.

Hi Ruthie! Congrats on your new little sweetie! I'm also 5 weeks pp with weight to lose and bad "pregnant eating" habits to retrain. Feel free to friend me if you'd like another accountability friend!

I don't blame you for taking a pic! Way to go! :)

You're singing my song (nearly) too! I just turned 39, am a mama to 5, and have been gaining and losing the same 10 pounds since the 5th was born! (um, a year and a half ago, and I don't just need to lose 10). I'm looking for some daily mutual accountability. I know this works, as I was successful before I became pregnant…

Every mother varies, but generally, if she's breastfeeding full-time (no formula) she should add about 500 calories to her intake. Maybe have her create an account here to get a general idea of what number to shoot for? She could plug in her current weight, height, and set loss goals to about 1/2 a pound a week (drastic…

That is fantastic!

Way to go, and thanks so much for posting. I think these kinds of posts, regarding losing and MAINTAINING, are the most encouraging of all!

Amen, and thank you for that as well!

I've struggled with this too - what helped me is 1) accountability - someone I know, personally and/or MFP friend checking up on me, 2) continuously reading why too much sugar is hurting my body and 3) some cocoa in the pantry to help take the edge off. You can do it!

That is SO sweet - and touching.

Way to go! You look wonderful, and I bet feel so much more energetic too.

Way to go! I'm working losing my 5th baby weight too. :)

Way to log on and reach out for support! Put warm socks and a sweater on, do some jumping jacks... grab a hand full of almonds and/or a banana, drink a big glass of water... and remember what you're doing is such a gift to yourself and your family! Oh, and Spring really is around the corner. :) I was just thinking that if…

That's such a great feeling! Congrats!

Here you are, though! Make MFP a bit of an addiction for a while; it helps!

I SAW those dresses! Very cute, and congrats! :)

I make my weigh-in on Sat., and then plan a good work-out and a little "cheat" in the evening. Keeps me from going nuts Fri. night. You could do that for Sat. or Sun.

Yes, thank you all! You know these inspire us so much! And I know you all must feel so much better every day, too. Way to go! :happy:

I struggle with the same thing. Hot cocoa helps me... Also, going on MFP for inspiration! Feel free to friend me if you need some extra accountability. :)

That is a wonderful feeling! Congrats!

Feel free to add me too! I just had our 5th baby 4 weeks ago, and need to straighten up my habits again. I had great success on MFP before my pregnancy (when I let things go!).

Hi! I'm full-time nursing too. When you log your food type in breastfeeding in the search, and it gives you an additional 500 calories to spend. Amanda

Feel free to add me! I really like this site, and when you have even a few encouraging friends checking on you each day you begin to feel some accoutability. I would love another "accountable friend," and would be happy to be one for you. I lost 20 pounds and really did well habit-wise, but then relaxed too much w/ the…

I'm going to have to come back to this after I google it and research a bit.

Same here. Better for hubby, as I don't have to politely ask him to scoot over at bed time. :) And when I DO have an indulgent night, I am warm again!

That's truly wonderful! To actually have it in your hand, smell it, then put it down?!!! Way to go!

Congrats! What a blessing! Feel free to friend me, if you'd like. I have 4 little ones, but wouldn't be surprised if I was in your shoes again someday. I'd be happy to encourage you along the way. I'm nearly to my goal, but have wondered if I'd have the willpower to keep behaving w/ eating if we are blessed with another…
