Ok I feel really silly... and dumb... lol, but I can't find where and how to add breast feeding into my dairy so it calculates the extra calories... I've searched and searched and I just can't figure it out. Every time I search breast feeding whether its in the food or exercise sections nothing comes up... what am I doing…

Where and how are you adding breast feeding? I tried searching it under exercise and nothing came up. I've been just mentally noting that I can have 200-400 extra calories than what the website says but its throwing me off!

Awesome. Thanks everyone. I am going to look like a duck out of water trying to find all the ingredients. Lets hope the hubby will actually eat some of this stuff. My guess... he will be going to Mcdonalds and leaving it all for me to eat. Oh well!

Yea I try to wait until the end of the night then I'm so tired I don't work out. We have a XBOX with Kinect though and I play the work out and sports games on there man that gets you sweating and its actually FUN. I'm trying to find the time to do it all. Are you a stay at home mom as well?

OK here's another one for you guys. I shop at Wal Mart for my groceries. So many recipes call for foods like: fresh rosemary sprig, zucchini, chopped, bay leaves, fresh basil. Where on earth do I find these kinds of foods? Does Wal Mart have them? I'm very new to this way of eating and cooking and I'm also very busy mom of…

Fiber, really?? I have fiber tablets that I used to take when pregnant, the chewable kinds. So taking a few a day will help me feel full??

Well I'm screwed then because I've just started this counting calories and eating right and I have two babies and one is only 4 months old and I DO NOT GET ENOUGH SLEEP EVER. AHHH LOL

WOW 13 apple pies? And get this, I worked at Mcdonalds for EIGHT years. No wonder when I quit to go back to college I lost 20 pounds. You don't realize how eating just one meal on your break, 5 times a week, plus the endless medium coke's I would drink per shift. No wonder I'm so heavy STILL. I quit, lost some weight, then…

what kinds of snacks are high in protein?

Thank you everyone! Wonderful advice! I agree that sometimes BFing (breast feeding) does help you lose weight, and sometimes it does not! With my son, I breast fed 3 1/2 months and lost all 25 pounds I gained while pregnant, plus an extra 10 pounds! This time around, with my daughter, I gained 40 pounds while pregnant and…

Thanks everyone. SO helpful!!

Thanks!!

My whole thing is, my baby girl is only 4 months old and I'm always exhausted so working out is so hard, I just can't find the time and I get so mad about it! My son is 21 months you would think chasing him around is a work out but it isn't... it just makes you tired. Also I am still breast feeding... so I'm afraid I…

Thanks everyone! The info you gave was very helpful. Miranda, I loved what you said but I could use some examples of the foods you are talking about...

Hello! I'm Jen. I am starting my weight loss goal today. I am sick and so are my 2 kids so it is hard to stay on track but I am excited to get back on track :)
