i liked the old plan, the new points plus system doesn't for me. on the old plan i lost 10 lbs for my wedding and maintained. i can't seem to lose more than 5 lbs since july now on the current one.i got tired of paying for no real progress, just cancelled it. i'm just doing mfp now

yeah, I put some water in it to help mix it. I LOVE my vita-mix blender. I make baby food with it as well.

jump rope =the same as going running. i do that on rainy days when I cannot run (i'm stuck inside due to the hurricane as well; work closed). I'm also going to do some Pilates. trying to strengthen my core after a c section a few months ago.

hot plain tea and water count a water for me. I drink green tea once a day, and love it.

stopped breast feeding 1 month ago. no possible way to do it/pump at work.

I saw the movie "supersize me" 7 years ago... haven't touched fast food since. Seriously, with all the care in the world, that food is crap.... not real food. It looks like food, may event taste like it. But, there are so many fake additives and crap in it that it is not real food. it is poison. also, Has anyone ever…

perhaps to much running? The body gets tired of the same workout over and over. Switching it up every two weeks can make it work harder. The body is effiecient, it will figure out a way to burn less with the same workout, so trick it by switching back and forth every two weeks or so. Bike, run, swim, and repeat. Weights…

not much to do. i use bio oil (from when I was pregnant), time, water, and eating healthly.

if you loose a few lbs before. Watch what you eat during (you can't eat whatever you want). Eat to maintain while you are pregnant. You will not gain too much (keep in mind that a lot of weight gain is water weight during pregnancy). The first 6 weeks post partum you will lose a lot of weight. Then you will have to work to…

Drink WATER Drink green tea I stop eating at 8 pm ( go to bed at 10ish) so as not to feel bloated. I try to eat green things at least twice a day (even if it mean a salad with dinner and a green smoothie after a workout).

She is 4 months old. I run with her and walk with her in a jogging stroller. I do Jillian Michaels DVD's when she is napping in the evening. I stopped breast feeding a month ago when I returned to work, couldn't pump effectively (it's hard when you are a social worker who makes house calls), I understand that working out…

I just gave birth and used the MFP to maintain weight during the fist 2 trimesters and then used it to gain 1 lbs a week during the last. Unfortunatly I developed pre-eclampsia during the final trimester and gained a ton of weight due to the severe edema and water weight that was related. Had to be induced, which led to an…

I just started. I gave birth 4 months ago. Before I was pregnant I was very active and ran every other day with jilian micheals workout on the off running days. Now I am REALLY trying with a baby (which is hard). I'm on week 1. lets see how it goes.

i jsut gave brith 4 months ago and I'd kill to have my flat midsection like that again! how did you do it?

There is a reason it's call breakfast... because your body has literally been fasting all night. You NEED something even if you have energy. Your body needs SOMETHING. Even if it's a small bowl of oatmeal, yogurt with fruit/gronola, or a breakfast smoothie. It will set your metabolism's tone for the day. No…

I use the implant in the arm. i've had it for 2 months now (post baby) and I haven't had any side effects yet. I love it because I don't have to think about it at ALL and I'm totally not ready for another baby.

I'm the mother of an awesome 4 month old daughter.... though those last 12 lbs wont budge.

shot of tequilla and a glass of wine before anything. :) then it's balls to the wall.

I just got a c-section 7 weeks ago.... i want some advice too.

all of them

thanks, I'll check it out!

YES!!!!!!!! google why.

if you are peeing only 3-4 times a day you're dehydrated. You need to be going at least 6 for healthy waste removal. Drink more water. I used to have at least 2 uti's a year... I started rinsng off after sex and drinking more water and i haven't had one in 2 years.

no pregnancy setting (i'm 7 months along),. you will want to set the MFP calories to maintaining or to 200-300 cal higher once you are later in the pregnancy (third trimester). I've managed to gain the healthy amount of weight and am well within normal limits for 7 months. I was 133 lbs when I concieved and am now at 155.…

I used the old points system to lose weight for my wedding in 2010. Loved it, lost 15 lbs. I quit due to not being able to afford the bill any longer (I was in grad school and had to penny count). I rejoined when they changed to the pointsplus, and I didn't lose any weight on that (granted I was only trying to lose 10 lbs…

alcohol in general will not be good for a diet. on the days your drinking, stick to veggies and protien to balance out the sugar and empty calories you'll be consuming. just have fun, on weekend of partying for celebration is not the end of the world. Life is to short to skimp on those end of semester memories.

so much help... and those are repulsing me right now.

I love mine. works great!

we are just north of you in VA. Today we went grocery shopping and bought canned tuna, chicken, wheat bread, some meats to grill on the first day if we loose power, water melon, squash (to grill), apples, pears (things that can sit out), and a promise to grill anything else that defrosts in the freezer. Oh yeah, and canned…

1 cup in the am. tsp of sugar. table spoon of chocolate mocha creamer.
