I’m in the same boat, lost all my weight, had a baby and now struggling after 3 years. It’s saddening because I don’t ever rest so the weight should be falling off!! lol I’m going to send a friend request!

Meal prep is key for me to stay on track at work (we do have a cafeteria here so it's hard to get off track if I come lunchless). This week it's very simple ground chicken with green beans, divided into 5 portions. I cook on Sunday to last the week. Sometimes I do salad with protein, or boiled eggs with tuna/pickles.…

Girl my LEGGINGS are tight! I've been here before, had success and was at a happy weight - certainly not supermodel status but I was happier in my skin than ever before and that was what I needed. Then I had a baby and THREE years later I'm a struggling. It takes time and patience, and I'd rather do it the right way…

Hi Cheryl, if you are doing an hour on the treadmill, you may already be getting more than 3000 steps depending on how fast you're going. I'm guessing at this as the number of my steps I put in from my parking spot to work, in about a 20 minute hike - I am a fast walker though. I use a FitBit - you can even pick up an off…

I'm back after a few years off, with some extra baby weight to shed. I've been back and forth since January and figure I need the excitement of some new faces! Feel free to add me! Open diary, but I am not on the keto bandwagon! Have about 20 pounds to lose, give or take. Just want to FEEL comfortable again!

OP - I'm a Canadian as well, and found many veggie options at the Walmart Superstore, and theres a new place where I reside called Healthy Planet. It's an amazing store thats all supplements but also has the vegetarion/keto all the special "options" so to say. It's a franchise type place so maybe you can find one not too…

MFP automatically sets me at 1200 calories, but I've read so many posts that go against it (my first time round followed 1200 as I didn't know any better, it worked but it stressed me out). This time I gave myself 1500-1800 calories. I've learned what my body can work with and what to eat and what not to eat, and make sure…

Me!! Still working on my 2018 summer body but with an extra 10 pounds now!
-
I'm having the same problem and going through old posts to try and figure it out. I've disconnected it from both MFP and Fitbit and connected them again and nothing. I've followed a few Google searches and seemed to work for others but not mine. Do they ever need upgraded? I've never had problem and this is my 4th Fitbit…

IT took me 8 years to lose the baby weight and now I have another and still working at it 2 years later! I am not so concerned as I know it's not bad weight, just not the same body. Things don't go back to the same place :wink: Slow and steady mamas, love your bodies no matter what, but we also have this health and fitness…

Wait..I’m 37-I’m middle aged??? 😭😂

Welcome Carol, if you don't have a label the search option is also pretty accurate to adding food items. The coffee option I use in the food database shows 2 calories for one cup.

Could you take some time on a Sunday or any day of the week to meal plan and prep for the week? I know about having no time, I'm a busy working single parent with a crazy toddler and high needs older son. But staying up late on a Sunday night makes the world of difference in eating. I prep anything I may need for meals and…

Hi Gary, welcome! Tracking for me was an eye opener - and mandatory in my weight loss. It was shocking to see certain foods I enjoyed weighed or measured out and the calorie or especially sugar or carb content! It's a learning curve but agree that it works. In regards to trading diaries - as long as you have friends with…

Welcome Annie! Know that you aren't alone, and you're in the right spot for some encouraging words and new ideas. I had success a while back, but after my second child was doing the back and forth as well, it's tough to get back into but I have to have the mindset that everything I eat, or do (or not do) is MY choice, and…

I never notice a change, I think we’re too hard on ourselves! Flip it though, if I’m up a few pounds I know right where they are!
-
Well you’ve come to the right place! I had a baby and also became a blob, so I hear ya! 😂 Good luck and I’m sure you’ll have no problem getting back to where you want to be!
-
I’m 37 (had to do the math on that!) single mama of two. My son is almost 2 and I’m still hanging onto baby weight, I call it birth control but it really has to go! Add me and I’ll try my best to be a good friend! Open, real diary, attempt to workout daily and active with my friend list!
-
Had some luck, got knocked up and back for round two! 😂 Add me as I need an extra push this time!
-
I added you, welcome! I am right now at 166, and want to get down to 150 - if I can again- I had a baby and my body carries differently so basically I just want to get back into my jeans, whatever weight that is! I am 5'8 as well.
-
I'm just getting going again and looking for some motivational friends too! I'm going to add above friends and hope we all have success.
-
Me please!

Speaking of chili, which is always a hit here with ground turkey, I often make a big batch of refried beans in the crockpot. It's basically one bag of dried pinto beans (around $1) and 6 - 7 cups water with spices, I do burrito bowls with rice or lettuce or even just the beans, and then we can also get a few other meals…
-
I think we've all been there at some point, and agree with you that we have to make the decision to want to create a better lifestyle. Personally, I know I've been there, and gave myself another week, or just after this meal out, or once the weather is nicer, or once this......and made excuses but was miserable as I was…
-
Me too!!! I’ve added some above as well, having a rough go after baby andnneed some push!
-
I’m here too! I’ve had success before and having a hard time getting back to it after baby-but no excuses-I have to get my head straight and realize we can do it! I have the same to lose, I just want my pants to fit!
-
ME too! I started around the same and my end goal is the same too, although I'll go more on if my old pants fit rather than the scale! :P Anyone feel free to add me, I've had success here before, had a baby and fell off the wagon big time! I'm ready to get back to logging and feel the "friends" really helped me last time…
-
I’ll send you a request! After much success here I’m back with a toddler and lacking the motivation to get me back into the routine! Once I’m there and start seeing results I’ll keep rolling, but having a slow start and hoping to get that online support - or at least people watching what I eat! 😅

Any time I have been on antibiotics, the pharmacist has said that it pretty much VOIDS the birth control if you were on it, you may want to try another test. The way my eating habits work I am pretty much IF at 16:8 as well, and its probably not drastic enough to mess with your cycle - but agree with others to also check…

Busy single mom of two here, I leave around 7am and sometimes don't get home until 6pm, so dinner has to be healthy and ready when I get home! I normally sit down Thursday night and plan what we are going to eat around the flyers, and stick to fresh local produce (now is a great season!!!) and any meat on sale. I really…
