HI! I've used MFP in the past but its been a long time. I just had my 3rd baby! (all boys :smile: ) and I'm 5 weeks pp. Gained 30 this pregnancy and lost 17 without doing much. Now I'm determined to have my body back! I am nursing and crazyyyyy hungry. Have not been cleared to work out but I have been walking (not…

How do we track bfing?

Hey mamas!!! I have a 3 wk old... 3rd baby (all boys!) want to lose 40 more lbs and lost 17 so far since delivery! Let's be friends!

yeah I've worn my heart rate monitor and I burn atleast 450-500+ calories

So if I should have 1600 calories a day and workout and burn 500... then I should eat 2100?

Thanks yall.. if I custom set my goals - what should I make the protein, fat, carbs percentages?! Don't get the whole 'eat back exercise calories' thing... any explanation there?

Hey thanks for all the responses! I was not checking mfp for a few days... I got frustrated when I couldn't figure out what to set it to. haha Here's the deal too... I feel like I'm eating random things through the day and dunno how to log. So I think the answer is to just not eat the random PB&J crust and crackers left in…

I have a 5 wk old boy and a 2 year old (EBF for 8months..) I am trying to figure out how to set my calories.My BMR is around 1600 but I've been walking 30 min a day and chasing my oldest around. I am EBF my little guy and trying to figure out how to set it. And if I log breastfeeding as food or exercise (not sure which)…

foxy - thanks for the info on your experience! UMMM... we had latch issues. His frenulum (tight thing under his tongue) was super tight so he couldnt open his mouth wide or use his tongue well to nurse. SO - saw an ENT and he needed it clipped and we got that done at one week. It was a rough first wk with that issue... had…

Ok - still dunno what I'm doing. Do I custom set my calories to like 2000 or 1800? and then log bfing as exercise or food? So I'm really only eating 1500 or 1300 calories? I'm lost! help! I also 'chase' around my 2 yr old all day... so not sure how to decide how 'active' I am along with nursing a 3 wker. :)

Thanks everyone! SO helpful! Yea- definitely didn't plan on eating at a deficit at all right now... and with my first kiddo I tried working out WAY too early (before I was cleared... I know - bad girl!) and I got sick/mastitis. NO FUN. I am definitely taking it easier this time and learning to love my body again while I…

Awesome - thanks yall. So do I do 'custom' for goals? I'm trying to figure out how to navigate this site again - it's been so long! EEK! I calculated my BMR and it's 1626... Also, do I just log breastfeeding ONCE in the food section? Or every time I do? Sorry for all the questions..

Aw thank you! :)

I am a new stay at home mom! 16 month old BUSY boy who is so much fun :) I started MFP the summer I had him (2011) and have found it very helpful in keeping me accountable and motivated. I recently (this past month) joined a 'bootcamp' and it's making a huge difference for me. :) Got the eating right down and carving out…

Hey yall!!! 5'7 26 yr old SW: 179 (baby weight) CW: 162 GW: 140-145 I wanna lose 15 lb by Christmas! That means 1lb a week! :)

You look AWESOME!!!!!!!! How long did your transformation take? I'm a stay at home mom of 1 little guy... would love to drop down to where you are girl!!

My dr told me I should be eating only about 300 calories more than normal. However I ate as much as I wanted (healthy of course...sometimes sweets) and I am kicking myself now about the weight I have to get off. HOWEVER - I have a super healthy little boy who is the light of my life and my body did what it needed to keep…

Height 5'7 - sw- 179 cw 160 gw - 145... anyone anyone?

Yay mamas!!!! I have a 15 month old son.... gained 43 lbs and have 5 more to lose right now. I'd love to lose more and tone up a tonnnnnnnn!!!! I've been very diligent for about a month with MFP food tracking and exercise 6 days a wk for about 3months... I'm realizing slow and steady wins the race but progress is…

@artemis222 - Ariana!

Very exciting!!! I'm trying to lose some weight before we try again as well... :) yay for moms!

I didn't get to read all the responses so sorry if this is repetitive! I had one removed off my back in June. It was pretty large but didn't go so deep to need stitches. It's healed fine. I had another one on my chest that a plastic surgeon had to remove because of where it was - the scar is not bad at all.. not even…

No juice/no soda here! :) Thanks for the suggestion!!!

Thanks for the info - hadn't done my 'research' yet - so I thought I'd ask all you smart people out there. Thanks for the suggestion!

AWESOME!!! :)

YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Yeah someone said to me... "Are you having twins..you're HUGE!" (I was a teacher at the time and it was a sub at the school) UGH DUMB PEOPLE
