Yeah I'm logging more to track what I eat. I am hoping to find that sweet spot of getting fit and still having a great milk supply.

Thank you for the link. I sent you a friend request.

Yes this is my first. I know that I will continue to lose weight while breastfeeding which is why I have put MFP on maintain until 6 weeks. I have a bad habit of thinking 'oh I'm gonna lose weight that means I get to eat more.' Breastfeeding or not eating a tub of cookie dough is not going to help me lose weight.

This is my first pregnancy and I have done good but in this last trimester gained alot. I'm trying to not gain 100 pounds. My OB has told me if I stay on my current track I will gain 50 pounds total. It is time to make some changes!

I am also on a 1200 calorie diet. It can get very difficult to find motivation each day. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

OMG What a wonderful idea! I think this is what I need to start doing.

I feel the same way when I jog. I have just started listening to lose music do I can't hear anyone and I wear aa baggie T-shirt.

I love the idea of a 5'4"-5'5" group! I would join.

I am able to be a text buddy but only for a month or so. I have a very similar story and am also restarting.

Lol! This post is great! I have lost a bald eagle so far and aiming for a cinder block!

My goal is to stay under my calorie budget everyday between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then I figured that gave me the right to eat supper yummy food in Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I am also looking for a buddy. I just started again and am looking for motivation to get me though until Christmas.

Thank you everyone in this post. I had the same question about weight lifting and this was great.

I'm 5'4" and starting over on MFP. I lost 22 pounds the first time and felt amazing then a family tragedy happened and I need to lose again. I was aiming for 135 but after reading everyone's posts I think I might need to lower it. I will aim for 130.

My solution to desert is Outshine fruit bars. They are only about 35 calories and completely satisfy whatever my body is searching for after dinner.

I have the same story! I'm starting again tomorrow and hoping this time when I get to my goal weight I will be able to keep it longer than last time.

I am in the same boat. I had a huge weight loss and loved it and now have gained about 7 pounds back. I am also a teacher and start school again tomorrow. I am actually better during the school year because I have a routine and structure. During the summer it is a food free for all. I'm going to go with riffraff2112's…

Thank you for the suggestion of a virtual run. Do you know of any that come with a shirt? Most of the ones I have found only have metals and I have no need for one of those.

Best quote I have seen posted!

Hello Angelia I am also new to the group and have a similar story. I was successful in losing weight last year but when I hit my goal weight and was "skinny" I was still not happy. I have sadly gained some of the weight back and instead of going crazy cardio this time I'm doing 50/50 cardio and strength training. I haven't…

Hey group, I just started a new program "Train to be Awesome" and I have been instructed to hide my scale for the next couple weeks. So I will track how many miles I am putting in during a week and will complete the final weight in during memorial weekend but will not be filling in the weekly weigh ins. I am still very…

Yeah!! I completed my goals this week (almost). I logged my food each day and did 4 days or my C25K program. I have found a beginners guide for girls lifting heavy weights. I am currently reading the book and hoping I will do my first day today. Do any other girls here lift heavy weights?

I'm in!

amy_kee the best part about exercise is that it helps reduce stress.

*log my food every day (even if I go over) *run 3 times *do 1 strength training work out (any suggestions)

Hi my name is Andrea and I am from Oregon. I started my weight loss journey last year in hopes of a wedding dress. I lost 22 pounds and was the smallest I have ever been. Long story short my boyfriend never popped the question (and still hasn't), I lost motivation and gained about 7 pounds back. I'm ready to get back to…

Alright it is time for me to make some changes. First off I just look at my Turbo sticker chart and I have missed every thursday this last month. I always feel guilty about it and beat myself up but something about that day is soooo hard to fit a workout in. I think I might just in on thursday and say I'm only going to do…

Completed my first morning turbo! I really liked it but don't think I burned as much since the sound was off. It is hard yo get pumped up when she isn't yelling positive things at you. I'll be back tonight to report I've done HITT 25 (I'm doubling up to make up for missed days.)

HITT 20 done! 3 days left until we finish our first month! :smiley:

Thank you everyone for the support!! Tomorrow is the beginning of a new semester and I'm going to focus on the kids and try to just outlast my administration :smiley:
