THuffers

Again... don't beat yourself up too much. I think everyone needs a day or two of total destruction once in awhile. Just remember how great you felt when you were on track and remember that tomorrow can be a whole new start. If you are craving something you shouldn't eat, try to find a healthy substitute that will satisfy…

Where were you when I got 60 inches of snow three weeks ago? :wink: :wink:

I'm 22 with a 6 week old daughter! :-)

I'm 6 weeks postpartum so I know exactly where you are at! Remember to count calories (add 400-500 if you are breastfeeding!) and take it slow right now. Wait till your doctor or midwife gives the all clear before you do too much exercising. Right now would be a good time to start walking with your baby. I found that 15…

Thanks everyone for your suggestions AND your support! :-D I think I will try changing my goals for awhile and see how I like that and if I don't I'll add it as an exercise. You guys have been wonderful!

I have been craving a spinach pizza that I could eat for awhile. I didn't want to order in due to food allergy issues as well as the calorie intake is high. I just saw your post and will definitely be trying this. Thank you!

I know the feeling... I'm a mid-afternoon and late evening snacker. Now that I don't work and am a SAHM, I find that in the afternoons I want to eat because no one is watching me (except a 1 month old) and late at night after a stressful day I want to snack to relax. Besides keeping less junk food and more healthy snacks…

I have thought the same thing! When I was pregnant, my friend suggested this site. She said it had been working well for her (and it had) but I figured it wasn't for me. When I had my baby last month, I knew that I had to do something if I wanted to lose the baby weight. I have been on her for almost two weeks and have…

This won't get rid of all your vegetables, but maybe it'll help! This is a recipe I LOVE to serve to my family. Even the pickiest of eaters seem to enjoy it. Feel free to substitute the Italian bread for another loaf of bread (though I think it's best with Italian or French) and ground beef for ground turkey, etc. Also,…

I don't log my tea. I never add sugar or milk to my tea so I figure the 15 calories per bag won't hurt me. :-) Otherwise I try to log everything. I'm still new here and have had to learn that if I don't log the smallest things I want to cheat more. It helps me to be more conscience of what I grab to eat. :-)

So I didn't do as well as I had wanted to do yesterday. I had planned a delicious pork roast dinner at home with my husband (and one month old) and was excited to find out that with my planned meals I was about 300 calories under my goal. Unfortunately, it was all shattered right after dinner. I found out my husband forgot…

For those who don't know, courgettes = zucchini and aubergines = eggplant. :-D

Whoot! Go Leigh! You are my role model. :-D

Good luck Michelle! I think I'm going to copy you... I have some cookies in the pantry that sound wonderful right now and I am very tempted to go get some. I think I'll do some cleaning instead and see if that takes my mind off of it. :-) Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Thanks for the help everyone! I have tried applesauce and other replacements in many of my recipes but they haven't come out right so far. I just moved to Maryland from Colorado and I think some of the problem was the high altitude so I may have to try again. :-) I MUST try the brownie recipe. I love brownies. I had an…

Almost all egg replacers have some egg in them and they will cause an allergic reaction. I wish I could use them though!

I am also allergic to eggs! I did have several sever allergy reactions and spent high school so sick I barely made it to my classes. I was also very tired and I cannot believe how much better I have felt since I gave up eggs 3 years ago. I rarely get sick now and until I my recent pregnancy I had felt like I had all the…

Hello everyone! I just found this thread and I am new to MFP this week. My baby just turned one month old and I am more than ready to get back to exercising and getting back to my prepregnancy weight. Until my doctor approves though, I'm taking things slow and getting into the habit of counting my calories. We all know how…
