It kind of depends on how busy I am. If I have a lot of time to sit down and plan then I will. I usually start on Friday night and finish it up Saturday morning. I tend to plan ahead for at least a week. I've tried doing two weeks at a time before, but it doesn't work for me because I always run out of produce before then.…

Good afternoon all, I've been slagging on everything here lately. I was doing really well and then just kind of dropped everything. I have logged in everyday though, so that is good. At least that's one good habit I'm still sticking with. I really need to start checking this thread everyday, gives me more motivation to…

When I was pregnant with my oldest I had gestational diabetes and they told me to plan for about 60 carbs per meal, and 15 for a snack between each meal (3x/day). That seems like more than what you are already eating though. Are you spacing them out evenly? That will help keep your glucose levels more even. The other thing…

Good morning all! The last couple days have been pretty good for me. I was a little over on calories for the one day, but its the first time I've logged everything for a few months, so that makes me happy! Baby steps! @HappySheri I love your thought for the day! You are so right! I used to be addicted to exercising, so I…

Hello again all, I totally slipped off the wagon the last few months. I moved and had some major changes in routine, and I'm just now getting back into the swing of things. Good news is that I think I remained pretty steady in weight (guessing because my scale isn't working) and I've been working on picking up some better…

Good morning, I hope everyone's weekend was what you wanted it to be! I am in the process of moving to a new house so that kept me nice and busy, and away from all the snacks! Thankful for the small things! My goals for this week are to avoid the fast food as much as possible, and to find the time to do something for…

Hello there! I am happy to report that I lost half a pound this last week! I know it's not much but I had an extremely hard time staying under my calories last week, as I'm jumping back in to the weight loss thing while nursing and it's hard to figure out where my calories should be. My daily schedule is always busy. I'm…

Hi Ladies, I love the positivity of this thread, and I would love to join you if you'll have me. This has been a tough year in terms of relationships and finances, but I'm trying to get back on the horse and start taking care of myself a little bit better. I do weigh in and I have been working out, but I'm trying to learn…

Please feel free to add me! I have about 80lbs to lose as well.

I'm 5'4 and would like to lose between 50 and 80. I'm just starting over after having a baby so I could use some friends. Most of my "before" friends have moved on or hit their goals.

You can add me. Again, not sure what a stone is, but I'd like to lose about 80lbs eventually.

I'll be 28 in August, and I have been working on losing this weight for a couple of years. Feel free to add me. My goal is to have lost the remaining 50 pounds before I hit 29.

I've been working on the program for a while with several breaks thrown in. I do start back at where I stopped, and then if I find it too difficult, I will repeat the week before. I do go to the gym though constantly, so it's not like I'm taking a complete break from exercising either. I was up to week 4 this summer, and…

Everyone has given you great advice. You did say that you don't have a ton of room to store food, so I don't know how well it would work for you to make a big pot of soup for example and then freeze it, since you may not have room to freeze it. As for some meals, I would suggest: -eggs, since they are cheap and have lots…

Good afternoon! I just found this group, I'm hoping it might get a little more active, but I live in Rock Springs. I'm married to my high school sweetheart and have two kiddos 3 1/2 and 18 months

I weighed about 220 when I got pregnant with my son, and while my midwife told me she didn't want me to gain too much weight, she never said anything to me about it either as long as my pregnancy seemed to be going well. I did end up with gestational diabetes with my son, so I ended up on a low carb diet and I actually…

First of all, I'm sorry that you have all of these different things to deal with. Second of all don't give up! While I have not struggled with infertility, I do struggle with maintaining a pregnancy once I am pregnant (miscarried 3 times) so I know a little bit about how you feel. I know that losing weight is hard, but it…

Add me to the club. I have two little ones 2 1/2 and 7 months. I've lost all the weight I gained when I was pregnant already, but I was chunky before the babies, and I still have a ways to go!

Hi! I've been looking for some mommy friends too. I've been on mfp for a long time, but stopped when I got pregnant with my youngest...she's six months now. I've already lost all of my pregnancy weight, but I've always been heavy so I'm trying to get healthier for both my kids (and hopefully avoid the diabetes that runs in…

Hi, I have kids about the same age as yours (baby is 5 months, toddler will be 3 in Feb), and after trying to work out at home while on maternity leave, I just had to admit it wasn't happening for me. I decided to join a gym, and it really has helped. If that isn't an option maybe you could try adding some free weights…
