NYC has some fabulous restaurants. I hope you were able to try some of them out while you were there.

Welcome and good luck. I'm a mom looking to shed the baby weight as well and I'm always looking for encouraging friends.

Welcome! There are lots of great motivating moms here.

I'm in NJ and we have a nanny for our girls (ages 6 months and 10 yrs). I can tell you that in this area (right outside NYC) the going rate is higher than what you are getting. I am not sure where you are and how that compares in salary / cost of living to this area. I think it's reasonable to ask for a raise. If they…

TO ME it's no longer baby weight after a few months (like 3-4). For my second pregnancy I was already at a weight I didn't like being at. I gained 30 lbs total in this pregnancy (I was on modified bedrest the last 3 months) so I gained a bit more than I wanted to because I was so sedentary. I also breastfed my second and…

THIS! Truth be told, if I'm going out for a girls night I always make sure I look my best. I never want to be the ugly friend in the group. lol

Friendship 1% Whipped Cottage Cheese. 90 cals for 1/2 cup and 16 grams of protein.

Good luck! I've found there are lots of mom's on here looking to shed some extra weight. They are super encouraging! Feel free to add me as a friend.

You are doing great! Keep being positive and don't let negative thoughts get in and get you down. Everyone has the same experience... looking in the mirror and not liking what they see. You're on a great path. Keep it up!

Great job! Keep up the good work.

You look great!

What a transformation! Congrats!

You've come a long way! Be proud!

Short shorts.... a bikini without worrying about my backside and back of my legs. My bum and legs are my most stubborn areas!

You look amazing!

This. I'm totally feeling her songs right now. Couldn't say that for the past few albums. But this one sounds like the old Brit.

This isn't true. It was once thought that caffeinated beverages would do that but studies have shown that the diuretic effect is much less than originally thought. If it were true people like my father and my boss would constantly be dehydrated because all they drink are diet soda products. I kid you not. Carbonated water…

Welcome! I'm a mom from NJ too! Good luck on your journey! Feel free to add me as a friend.

That is great! My husband is always disappearing and I find him at those sample carts all.the.time! lol

Welcome and congrats on the loss so far! The people here are really supportive and there are lots of moms like us looking to lose the baby weight. Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me as your friend.

Congrats! You look fantastic!

You look great! Congrats!

Welcome! I'm in the same boat as you. Good luck with your journey! Feel free to add me as a friend.

I used to do spin class twice a week before my wedding. I LOVED it!! The 50 min class flew by and I would always come out dripping in sweat. I purchased a monthly pass to a local yoga place and I have yet to activiate it because I'm a bit intimidated by being in a group where I'm not familiar with what I'm doing. It's…

Congrats to you! Keep up the good work.

Wow! What a difference! You look great.

You look awesome. Congrats!

Awesome job! Congrats!

For all of my adult life I have been that skinny fat girl. I weighed around 135 and was a size 6. I was thin but I had NO, ZERO, muscle. I would do cardio till the cows came home and wondered why I could never acheive that atheletic look. DUH!? It wasn't until I found MFP and started reading these forums that a light bulb…

Congrats on the new baby. I breastfed for about 3.5 months. I transitioned my little one to formula shortly before going back to work. I wasn't exactly watching what I was eating but I wasn't going overboard either and I felt like I had hit a plateau. Once I stopped breastfeeding I shed some weight and then I turned to MFP…
