  • ^^^^This^^^^ Agreed...there are a lot of ignorant post and assuming posts on here. I got what you were saying. Calories are calories so whether you are eating apples or grilled chicken it's still calories and when you allot for a certain amount of calories a day for your meals,eating your child's food (chicken, apples,…
  • I have a 2 1/2 year old and 13 month old twins. I get it...and that is why i'm finally having some success with MFP. I loged every bite i have off their plate. When you have 3 kids that little there is a lot of watching and helping them eat so even if the babies are getting yogurt (healthy!) i am taking bites. I am not one…
  • I worked with my MIL before i dated my husband...different departments but same floor and 5 feet from each other which made us have a very different relationship from the start almost a disadvantage. I adore my inlaws...they are just different from my parents. I think after we had kids it made my relationship a little…
  • Way to go! Slow and steady wins the race and keeps it off:)
  • two comments...having worked at a grocery store in my early 20's (college years), watching people of all sizes walk thru the check out with junk food galore and soda for their family and pull out their food stamp card...that bugged me because i don't understand why the government doesn't regulate that. I judged them…
  • With the FT7 and FT4 do they allow you to enter you height, weight and gender as well as age?
  • SAHM / WAHM - Iowa I work at home and stay at home with my 3 kids (2 1/2 yr old son, 1 yr old b/g twins). I find that i snack and am tired right in the afternoon...hard to balance work and working out...both during the day and at night. Getting in the groove though...slowly. I was getting disappointed as my scale yo-yoed…

  • I'm 5'9 and medium build. I am 151 and a size 10 in women (size 8 in American Eagle and an 11 or even a 13 in some Junior stores) When i was 115 in high school freshman year i might have been a Junior 5/6...graduated at 135 and was in Mudd 7/8. I will never be a size two and i'm okay with that. I fluctuate sizes mostly by…
  • I'll join! My husband and i have started our own fitness challenge at home and have few distractions from now until then: Starting - 154 April 1st Goal - 150 (attainable...hopefully) April 1st Goal - 148 (haven't seen that number in a while...so that's my kick-my-own-butt-and-stick-with-it goal)
  • :flowerforyou: I feel like i could have written your post! My twins just turned 1 last week and my oldest turned 2 1/2 in January. My goal is the same and so is our height...i'm buckling down to get motivated. I nursed until they were one so now i've got some major rejuvenating i need to accomplish for my belly to be where…
  • I had a friend who had suffered from an eating disorder (medically declared and dealt with) in high school before we met. She and i were same height and similar build when we met in college (5'8/5'9 approx 135 - 140 lbs) and she was an obsessive exerciser. She would always comment towards me that hated that we wore the…

  • I never lost weight with my first when i breastfed...i had to work out and then the lbs started melting away. i breastfed for a year and then found out i was pregnant. Things that helped me was making sure i drank a lot of water. And oatmeal is an excellent item to have in your diet while breastfeeding as well. I ran for…
  • 5'9' (on a good day)' 153 Size 10 (size 8 in American Eagle)...I am medium build and don't vary much in my pant size and i'm not very curvy. I gain most of my weight in my middle. so i can always wear smaller in the butt and hips but depending on how fit i am depends the size for what fits my waist. I think when i was in…
  • I like the idea of Wednesday...that way if i am traveling on the weekends i don't miss it. Name: Amy Age: 31 Height: 5'8 1/2 Weight: 160 Current Weight: 154 Goal Weight: 145 i weigh daily in the morning right when i get up.

  • i have 3. a 2 1/2 year old and twins who will be 1 in a week. My main focus is to get the energy back i've been missing on the last 3 years...pretty sure this is it for us so i'm ready to firm everything back up and look better than i did in my 20's. My mom had 5 kids (i'm the 2nd oldest) and she admits she didn't gain…
  • My age/weight/height and goal is similar. I have my meals pre-set out and i have a "selection" to choose from so if i'm "Hungry" (which i always am) then i can choose what i want. It's what i did pre-kids and just started now...so far so good...Water intake is something i am working on...and sleep!
  • Hi! I am 31, and my profile pic is from this summer with my kids. I am actually now 7 lbs heavier now - I was nursing/pumping full-time for 6 month old twins and i work from home/stay at home with my 2 1/2 year old and 1 year old twins. I am finally having life slow down to start putting in time for myself (weaning the…
  • I would just work on adding more items to your meals...example add more protein to your egg sandwich (veggies, lean meat, low fat cheese), and make sure you're eating 5 - 6 times a day...As long as you are hitting your goal for calories. what are you doing for your exercise to burn that much calories? If i understand your…
  • I have a 2 1/2 year old and 1 year old twins...c-section for that birth. i think the key is diet and strength training. I've joined the site for motivation to firm things up. My stomach is soft with some stretch marks, but i have nothing that working out won't take care of...my chest on the other hand is another…
  • I"m in ~10 - 15 lbs to lose, main focus to is to firm up ~ watch calories and moderate exercise ~ i work from home so i find it hard to make myself accountable as it's easy to blame the kids being off schedule....
