Great job! And can I mention I am so jealous you got to go on the set of the Tardis!

I am almost 5'6" and May 2011 I was at 145 I am large framed and I would say that is my perfect weight I would yoy yo between 143 and 150 depending on my muscle mass...I am working on getting back there after a small set back to 160 and then pregnancy where I packed on 30 pounds...

LLC suggests moms who ebf ( that means your child does no solids) consume at minimum 1800 calories to keep up with their baby's demands.

I am a mommy to 3 as well I have a almost 7 year old a 4 year old and a 7 week old! I work p/t and go to school and I cosleep, baby wear and AP ( which is much harder this time around working 18 hours a week, but my sitter AP too so she is pretty awesome!)

there is nothing wrong with whole grains in fact if you do a little research, you will find that the Mayo Clinic, that's right world reknown Mayo says that they are esstential for a healthy diet. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/whole-grains/NU00204

If I know I am not going to be able to snack or eat again in 2 hours, I have to have my carbs, for me it was a bagel with simply fruit spread and a half of a grape fruit. My does not stay full on protien alone, and I should know I have tried Atkins and failed miserably could never get past week 2 no matter the weight loss,…

Awesome progress! Keep on keeping on!

Name: Jama Hubby/Partner: Justin How many kids do you have: This will be our 3rd Due Date: August 20, 201 Do you know the gender: Note yet -- we find out mid April ( at 22 weeks) Have you picked out the baby's name: No and I don't know if we ever will( we are all J's and we can't seem to find a 5th baby name that fits us…

I have to say until you tip the scales at 236 pounds and you are carrying life and you realize all the things that your not eating the right amounts does to your body and your child's. Eating right is not only not selfish but extremely selfless when it comes to feeding your baby right!

2,000 is for those at a healthy weight...just to clear that up from earlier posts. And 300 extra is what your bodies needs for baby so you are maintaining at 1500 then 1800.;..I have mine set a 1850...I am comfortable and not hungry at that intake.

babyfit.com has me between 1700- and 1900 calories, I was slightly overweight when I started by 5 pounds actually. You can set up a profile and see what they suggest under nutrtion

Feel free to add me I am due August 20th and I lost 60 pounds prior to last September, had a miscarriage suffered from hypothyroidism, and gained back some but I am only up 9 pounds as of today and I want to keep it under 20 pounds feel free to add me!

I know there is a HUGE difference in those numbers...I was 147 beginning of last summer, then extreme fatigue and with constant hunger I went back up to 154-59, and I am 4 months preggers and 171 and hello my oh my there is such a difference in the way ones body feels. Great job!

#1 for sure!

I totally agree I run so much more quickly outside, but I over pronate and the smooth surface of the treadmill encourage my feet to roll so I am steadier!

Awesome...amazing! Now that you know the basics and the rewards just never forget and if you do from time to time just look at these pics and you will get back there quick!

Poor circulation...Happens in my feet constantly and my physician said not to stress about it if my limbs aren't sleeping as well..

I am in the same boat...shhh...we haven't old anyone yer. But is most definitely 300 calories on top of matinence, but everyone's matintence level is different...mine is 1500 not 2000 on here so talking to your doctor before adjusting and even if you haven't been...you can always call and ask ?s...you may talk to the nurse…

I am thinking a day of rest in indeed what I need I spin at somewhere between 85 to 95 rph, and I did cycle on a stationary today for 10 minutes, making sure to loosen those muscles again but I really so like spinning so I am definitely not out of the game, I will spin again this Saturday and I can not wait! And the…

Love the sweet pepper idea I have to try that! And actually if you use bacon bits instead of turkey bacon there are less calories and fat....and they have ones that are low in sodium too!

Ok I am in I have done Turbo Jam, 4 times and I own Turbo Fire but I have this problem getting past day 3....

I am there with you I started at 234, and I am 150 and I would like to be and stay around 140!

Welcome welcome! Make sure to set your goals realistically and not only eat right but do some sort of loving movement daily!

Great job and welcome to a new healthier life!

A lot of the successful threads have some commonalities, they are questions that other MFP members have, and the thread starters have friends who are "repliers", then in turn there friends friends reply. I hope that of you ever have a question in the forums though that it gets answered ( hope I was helpful!)
