I also save some calories. I like frozen yasso Greek yogurt bars. They taste like ice cream and are 80-100 calories. I have one every night! Sea salt caramel flavor is amazing!

I have a full time job and two young kids. I don't worry about steps at all. I know I don't come close to 10k. Check this out: http://m.livescience.com/43956-walking-10000-steps-healthy.html

Yup. Plus I nurse my baby first. :wink:

I try to look up the menu online and plan ahead. If I can't find nutritional info then I'll stick to a simple salad with a plain grilled chicken breast or a piece of salmon. Dressing on the side.

I make breakfast "cookies" with 2 mashed bananas, 1.5 cups instant oatmeal, 2T chia seeds (I also throw in a 1/4c choc chips) spray a cookie sheet, form into 24 cookies, bake 12 min at 350. I freeze them and thaw 4 in the fridge overnight. About 170 cals for 4. Sometimes I swap the banana for canned pumpkin. Good luck!

It happens. I suggest logging and move on. For me sometimes when I do that I will reduce by 50 or 100 calories for a few days and try to make sure that overall I am where I want to be for the week. But I think you have the right idea. Nbd. Today is a new day to be awesome!

What are you eating?

I didn't lose the weight until my kids turned a year. So hungry while breastfeeding and needed all those calories! I was able to take off the weight once my babies cut back to nursing 2-3 times a day. Enjoy this time with your baby and don't be too hard on yourself! Once your baby grows into a new stage you might find…

Yup.

Sounds good. I'm also looking to build up a network of supportive fitness friends!

Congrats!

Grumpycat that post was amazing.

For me, I didn't lose weight until I was down to two nursings a day. So I just held on to the weight until each of my kids was nearly a year. I didn't wean at a year, but I could cut back my calories without impact to my milk supply. With my second one, I was starving and not sleeping!! Lol. I had no self control over what…

Absolutely! It's a-ok to have a terrible horrible no good very bad day. I suggest that you forgive yourself and move on. :) you've made amazing progress. I read on here once that there's no such thing as motivation. Only discipline and dedication. One day won't break you. Hope you feel better!

My goal was to lose 40 lbs and I am 5 feet tall. The first almost 20 lbs came off eating 1500 cals and exercising 3-4 times a week. About 20 mins of cardio and 20 mins of weights each time. I lose an average of 1.5/week. I think if you start at 1500 or 1600 and get some regular exercise you'll see some changes in a couple…

This.

Wise words. Thanks for the inspiration and congrats!

Hi! I am 34 with two boys: a 3 yr old and a 15 month old. I am a working mom trying to take off this baby weight plus some extra! Lol. Always looking for friends with similar stories!

I'm 5 feet and would love new short fitness friends!

Hi! I'm 34 with 2 little boys. My littlest is almost 15 months and I've been trying to get off the baby pounds since his first birthday. I am 5feet tall. I keep my calories around 1400 and exercise 3 or 4 times a week. I mostly do strength training and add in some cardio if I have the time. I think the weights are helping…

It's hard. No doubt. When I was in law school I would bring a text book and prop it on the elliptical or make notecards and bring them. I also found podcasts of the subject matter and would listen to it while working out. You could record your own if you can't find the topic you want. Good luck!

Maybe you just need thong underwear?

Amazing!!

I pre-log the night before in great detail then adjust during the day if something changes. For example: Today someone brought a huge fruit salad and cheese platter to the break room so I had that for snack instead of my protein bar. At work I keep a drawer with protein bars, almonds, and other portioned snacks that I know…

In addition to what has already been said anout eating more than burning, I have another thought: are you sleeping through the night? Sleep helps with weight loss. I wasn't able to lose much baby weight when I wasn't sleeping....

Yep what's your calorie intake? I'm 5' even and I have to average 1500 or less to get the scale to move. I'm thinking maybe your intake isn't where it should be?

I'd love to make fitness friends with people in the same boat. I'm 34 and still have about 20 lbs to go!

I think it's totally normal to gain a little weight in the transition to adulthood. Bodies just tend to change at that age. It may not have anything to do with the medication. That being said, this is probably a question for your doctor. Good luck!

Maybe a veggie burger on whole wheat bread? I like the spicy black bean burger from Morningstar farms and I top it with some avocado and mustard. All the fiber is pretty filling and you an just microwave the burger real quick.
