I do eat calories to get me to 1200 net when I do exercise. I am a SAHM and need to lose 10-20 lbs. I don't know what to do but I do know that I average 2-4 workouts a week and 1200-1300 seems to low for whatever reason.

almost 5'4 and need to loose at least 10-12 pounds. It is hard for me to find the time right now as we homeschool and that is a priority. Not to mention getting my holiday tasks done. So I try to eat no more than 1800 cals a day. Drink lots of water. Stay active and hopefully the workouts will be back in routine here soon.…

yes we are homeschooling...I have two boys 4 and 5. I have been working on a schedule and this summer I started implementing that I workout some time between 2:00pm and 3:00pm. The boys can entertain themselves for 30 to 40 min without an issue. They know that mommy is doing this to be healthy so they understand. It is…

I am eating all my calories, eating all back that I need to most days. I don't eat if I am not hungry.

I have been eating 4 or 5 times a day. Increased workouts to 4 days a week. (An amazing accomplishment as a SAHM to two energetic boys 4 & 5) I am having a glass of water when I wake up, with my 2 cups of coffee to offset the caffeine. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. Making sure at least one of the four workouts…

I have been using a recipe found on weelicious.com I have one egg, one eggbeater, one tsp pesto. Beat together, cook in pan. Serve on toast with slice of cheese. It is really good....if you like pesto.

I would like to get to 135 but 138 is my goal. I had always hovered between 140 and 142 before kids. I really want to maintain between 135 and 140. I weighed in at 158 at my yearly checkup last July so I'm trying to be down to 148 by the time I have my annual this July.

I did not lose any of the baby weight until after I stopped nursing. I had my two children less than a year apart so I gained roughly 50lbs with #1 and 30lbs with #2. I weaned my second son at 6.5 months and did not start losing weight until he was roughly 7.5 months. I lost roughly 10lbs quickly and have been struggling…

coffee and flavored creamer, Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (original, not light and only half a serving), mashed potatoes, french fries, Really I don't give up anything. I need to learn that all things can be eaten/drank in moderation.

I am so very thankful for tracking. I have learned a lot from the last few days. I have to stick with this plan. I don't have a choice my husband and I both need to lose weight and this is helping me to keep track of my portions, what I eat, when I eat and make notes as to why I eat. My BIG problem lately is I'm just not…

what I am finding is I might not eat them all each day but I might over the week end up eating them all back..does that make sense?

Special K Oats and Honey Cereal w/ 2% milk and a banana

I was on BCP. A lot of my issues I think were related to the fact that we had two children less than a year apart. I went on BCP while nursing my second and when I stopped nursing I went back to normal BCP. When nursing you can only be on the mini-pill which is progesterone only. When we decided on a permanent method of…

I suggest Healthy Choice if you want to go this route. They have the lowest in sodium I have found. Of course it is always better to try and make your own dinners. Processed food is bad bad bad.

I actually gained approx 10 lbs. It also took me over a year for my cycle to get back to "normal"

this is why I did not renew WW after my first few months were over. I had a feeling that I was not eating enough, even with eating all my extra weekly points. I also ate way more processed food on WW because of convenience and lets face it THAT is not how you live. I need to have roughly 1500 cal a day to lose weight. I…

IMO the only thing worth going there for is dessert and coffee. Even if you split an entree it is so bad for you.

in my opinion and from what I learned through WW that any type of activity should be counted. I can tell you that it helps me to maintain focus. I do work out and actually workout 4 days a week. I am not one to eat every two to three hours. Just because I am a SAHM doesn't mean I have that luxury. It is hard enough to…

My thoughts exactly.

I have been getting petite burgers (no cheese :-( ) and a side salad (no cheese and a small amount of dressing) it is still higher in calories but at least I don't feel so bad about eating out. We eat out roughly once a week so I have been trying to find small ways to feel less guilty

When my youngest stopped nursing that is when I started to lose weight. Some women lose weight like mad when nursing but not me. I got as low at 139 and then my 30's kicked in and I'm up to 156. I would say it is a good thing if you are like me an unable to lose weight effectively while nursing. While nursing we should…
