Yesterday I increased the net calories to 1860, and the CH to a deficit of only 79. We had a much better night, he woke up only twice. And I was not hungry :smile:

My daughter (she is 4.5 years now) from the first day had an awful sleeping pattern until she was 8 months: she woke up EACH night 6-8 times. Then, from 8 months until about 2 years she woke up only 3-4 times. My son, who was only breastfed until 2.5 weeks ago needs much milk, he was big, huge at birth - 4.66 kilos. (more…

I cannot. I have a 4.5 years old, who does not sleep during the day, and I have no help, husband is working. :( My only sleep would be the night, and now it is disturbed.

I will do the same, thank you. You know, I got that extra-weight on me while those sleep-issues with my daughter. I mean I ate because I could not sleep enough. And never could get rid of them, until my second pregnancy. Now I weigh 6 kilos less than before getting pregnant with baby nr. 2, but I still have a 18-20 kg plus.

"A few weeks at maintenance won't do any harm in the long run" I know... it is good also not to gain more weight. Oh, and I am starving.

Thank you! Yes, I add breastfeeding to food, as -350 kcal, so at the end of a day I am at about 1200 kcal, with about 1500 consumed. Sleep-deprivation kills me, I had the same issue with my daughter, 4 years ago, with no dieting, and i am panicked to repeat that...

I found a quote on Instagram, something like: it became much easier, when I said I do not want to eat it, not I am not allowed to eat it. When I have cravings I say it to myself. It helps :)

yesterday I took my old clothes and put them in decreasing order. So every time I fit in one of them, I still have another mini-goal: to fit in the next one :D

I can fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans. And my favorite gray jumper.

thank you! I had no idea how to put breastfeeding in my diary :) now I know and it is so much better than just to ignore those extra calories.

I am almost 40, and trying to lose some 18 kilos or so. I also have a sedentary lifestyle for now, until September. I started this adventure 5 days ago, only by limiting my portions, especially carbs. I already lost 2 kilos.

I could fit in those shorts I love after only 3 days of healthy eating.

to get under 80 kg before my birthday (in September). But first to fit in some shorts that I really love.

your transformation is so motivational

You look fantastic, I wish I would too :) you are a great motivation I am breastfeeding my 6 months babyboy, god, he was huge (4.66 kg at birth, 10 lbs 4 oz), he still is. Pregnancy gave me diastasis recti and some damages of the symphysis pubis. These are my first few days when I can move without pain.

Seeing some photos of myself. And then one day the scale was in my way and stepped on. 89 kilos... That was 28 days ago. That was the day I joined MFP. I lost 6 kilos since then.

6 kilos in 27 days. That is 13 pounds.

this image is really suggestive. I will never become a vegetarian...

I NEVER go to gym, and yet I exercise - at home, when I have time. 30-40 minutes a day, maybe more. There are lots of fitness videos, even for activities that do not require special stuff... (We have an exercise bike at home, but it is easier to buy one than to find time every day for the gym, which BTW takes more than…

I tried it last year. I lost kilos, but my body got exhausted in short term. Never ever will try diets without exercise.

this is what happens. Dukan diet seems easy, but it is not good...

I first heard about her here on MFP. I was after a 40 min cardio exercise and some strength but I just had to try the 4 miles. It felt soooo good :) now, on days when my knee is bad or when I do not feel good for the bike I walk 5 miles - I never was in such a bad shape to not be able to walk at least 4-5 miles... I really…

I do not consider this a good idea. The less you eat below the calorie allowance, the harder weight will decrease. Our body does not function as we want to, but as it is programed. And on starvation times its default setting is to keep weight. So: EAT! :)

Fill the food and exercise diary here, on MFP. You will see where is your problem. Try to exercise daily, if not else just walk. (Try Leslie Sansone's walking exercises) Look at what your MFP-friends have achieved. And look at the success stories daily. Read them for motivation. Or just look at the photos.

Leslie Sansone rocks! Thank you for bringing her exercise into my attention. I had to try it after a 40 min. stationary biking and it was heaven for me!

you seem 10 years younger.

i want just to follow this thread, I have the same problem myself...

knitting a stranded pullover for myself :)

great work!

I do not have photos (but will make, i promise), I just want to follow this thread :)
