This is great! I am just getting started with IF and feel intimidated what was your calorie range

I do high intensity workouts 3-4 days a week and walk 1-2 days a week. I don't eat any packaged food really and try to avoid salt. that's why I am so frustrated I feel like I am doing everything right. I will start being better about posting my daily food

I eat a lot of salads, plain greek yogurt with granola. eggs, coffee with almond milk, sweet potatoes , and at night I eat either dates or a piece of dark chocolate

Really? I didn't know that. Ya know come to think of it the packaging was a little different I didn't even look at it I just always go to the same spot and grab my bread. I don't eat that many carbs, the bread in the morning and maybe some sweet potato at night. It is so frustrating.

how should I go about balancing my hormones naturally?

I eat whole unprocessed foods for the most part of my diet. I do eat whole grains and lots of sweet potatoes . I try not to yoyo with my diet to much but feel like I am constantly struggling. some days I feel great some days I feel supeer bloated and don't know why

has anyone noticed a difference after drinking these for breakfast? I always wake up so hungry and usually have a piece of whole wheat toast and 2 over easy eggs. green smoothies sound wonderful I just always wake up and feel like I need more for breakfast

yum all of these sound so good

ya I still nurse him when he wakes and he usally nurses for a few seconds then falls asleep. Its such a hard habit to break I let him stir for like 10 minutes last night and he just went back to bed which was nice

For everyone finding trouble working out I totally understand but I found something that works for me! I have an 11 month old and he is now only taking 1 long nap a day and I have so much to get done housework, walking the dogs you all know how it goes but I started working out with my baby. I know its not like running 5…

Made a doctors appointment :) hopefully it is something simple I just hate feeling this way

thanks for the tip! I will do that!

exactly! its funny how when you let go of one issue it seems to fix itself. To stop all the obsessing about the food and weigh. I am in such a good spot. I am doing a 30 day clean eating plan starting October 1st along with a daily diary of my struggles and how I am feeling. I plan on posting everyday about it so def keep…

yes I feel the same! I did everything right in my pregnancy and gained 60lbs I was so discouraged. I kept thinking that if I could just get back to my pre pregnancy weight then at least I would have some sense of "Normal" and I obsessed over the scale for months. one day it just dawned on me that while I sit here and…

thank you for all your comments! I wasn't eating that low of calories trying to get rid of the weight it was just all I was hungry for and my supply has always been good. this last week I hav upped my calories to 2200 and I really do feel muvh better. I cant believe I was eating so little before!

i know! it is so frustrating! my friend said she had to up her calorie intake a lot to start shedding the lbs. so i upped my calorie intake to 2300 and hopefully i will see a difference. i went months with being so aware of carbs and now i think i need to start consuming whole grains again. i hope if i can start eating…

I am new to this group and I am loving this group! I just keep reading about all of the issues I have, I thought I was all alone and it is so reassuring knowing that there is so many other women out there going through the same thing. I still have about 20lbs to go and I am so overwhelmed with how much I should be eating.…

ya we may just stick with condoms. we do want more kids and we talk about wanting them close together but I almost feel guilty thinking about having another baby right now. I want to make sure out 1st born is loved and enjoy all these beautiful firsts with him. my life is already crazy with a 5 month old I cant imagine…
