I am currently breastfeeding my 10 week old and having a lot of success in weight loss. It is said that every ounce you feed your baby, you burn 20 calories. I am pumping so I know exactly how much milk I am expressing each day. I set mfp to eat 1200 calories per day (I am only 5'2, yours will depend on your own factors)…

I am 10 weeks postpartum and I haven't started an exercise routine yet. I am breastfeeding, caring for a newborn and a toddler so my energy levels are pretty much all used up at this point. I do try to walk about once a week through the store just to get my body ready for when I do start a program. Honestly, I only plan to…

This is actually my second time around! I lost all the weight and kept it off for a year and a half, then I started bad habits and had a baby. Now I need to lose 60 lbs! I could really use the motivation! Add me!!

GAIN**

Thanks so much everyone!! I have somehow managed to gave 5 lbs! BLAHHHH!! I am in the process of losing that 5 lbs and hopefully 5 more!! Best of luck to all of you!!!

Oh and starting weight 172...current weight 138!!

I just bought a nordictrack e5.5 from sears. After tax, it was $601.00. It has great reviews, and it's a great price! It has ifit technology, holds up to 300 lbs so it's def durable. It has 16 in 18 in and 20 in stride adjustment. Definitely a GREAT deal!!

Great advice everyone!! I will be going to get some sugar free candy and extra celery and carrots tomorrow!! I think im eating out of bordem! Honestly. I spent at least an hour a day smoking, so I need to better fill my time!! If I need to munch, I need to do it the healthy way!! Thanks all!!

You are AMAZING!!! Such an inspiration!!!

I started myfitnesspal at 172, and I'm currently at 139. I have had plenty of times in the past month or so that I have eatin something that I know I shouldn't have. I always regret it but never seem to gain. After a few weeks of eating a few chips here and there, I realized that I could have lost 3 lbs instead of staying…

Thanks everyone!! I think I'm going to go for it!! I still have ALOT of time to get myself in the best shape possible!! It will be an added motivator as well!! I found a few places in my area and I plan to do some research before choosing one!! Some places are a bit pricey but hey..I will only get married once! And I can…

Thanks!!!

This week I earned... 5 points for staying under my calorie goal 5 points for hitting my exercise everyday!! (I did use one rest day, although I allow myself 2 rest days a week) 15 points for weight loss!!! Yes, that's right! I lost 3lbs this week!! I could be any happier!! I was on a plateau for 6 weeks and I would like…

Honestly, I tried everything to break my plateau. I added more calories, tried different exercising, exercised more, exercised less, ate my exercise calories back, changed the types of foods I was eating, ate dairy, didn't eat dairy...etc... and nothing worked. I think it just took time. I couldn't tell you exactly what…

Good Luck!!

Yayyy! I'm so excited! I need this!! I want to dress up for Halloween this year, so this is just what I need!! Let's kick butt!! :)

I'm in! If I'm not too late!

Thanks everyone! It's great to feel like I'm not alone with this! I def need to drink more water. I'm going to try to eat more veggies too. I think that will help me. I'm just going to try everything until something works!! Good luck to everyone who posted!! I hope we can all break our plateaus!!

My 20 lb loss looks nothing like yours!! You look GREAT!! Good job!!

I am 5'3 and currently 150.4. My goal is to get down to 105-120. I understand that is there is a big difference between 105 and 120 but I will not know until I get to that point. I will decide once I get there based on how I feel and look. I started at 172, and I've been on a Plateau where I haven't lost but maybe a pound…

Please share your stories!!

You had to send your film through the mail and wait months to get it back!! Oh the joys of digital cameras and memory cards!!

I'm currently attending college where I'm pursuing my bachelors in early childhood education!! I can't wait for the day that I can tell everyone that I'm a teacher! I am so lucky to have chosen a career that will make such an impact on our children's lives!! Go teachers!!!
