I am not on maintenance but I am close. I only have about 5 more lbs to lose so sometimes I get lazy. I hate tracking because it is so time consuming but I do it anyway. I go balls to the wall when I don't, so I have to. I am not sure what I am going to do exactly when I hit maintenance. My net calories are 1600 a day…

cheese was a big shocker for me, as was milk and peanut butter. hmm what else? I remember alternatively I was shocked at how MUCH vegetables you can eat for the amount of calories. You could pretty much each some veggies all day long and not meet your calories. I was also super shocked at the difference in calories when…

1) Brownies 2) Ice cream 3) Anything Chocolate 4) Candy Bars (Chocolate Bars) 5) Plain chips with Philadelphia Dip

coconut greek yogurt, hard boiled eggs, skinny cow ice cream, tomatoes; I LOVE TOMATOES, cucumbers, salad with light cheese and lean meat. mmmm. I am hungry.

The same thing happened to me after my first baby (first weight loss) I had lost 7 lbs which would have brought me down from 145 to 138 and then after buying a new scale I was actually 148! I was really frustrated but all that meant was that I had actually started at 155 and went down to 148. It didn't help much because…

I will say this, food is totally an addiction. The only difference is you cannot stop eating all together so it is more difficult in some ways than drugs or alcohol. Before I got pregnant with my first I struggled with drug and alcohol addictions and it was probably the hardest thing I have ever done, quitting. The thing…

I am like many here, not logging random stuff unless I break a sweat doing it. Or if I do log it, like a walk for example I was underestimate so that I know it is not over estimating calories. For example if I went on an hour long walk to the mall and back with my double stroller with two kids in it while walking as fast…

I'm 5'4, and 23 years. I am not very overweight but really want to get fit and healthy.

I am a 5'4 woman with moderate activity and fulltime breastfeeding and eating 2000 calories....and I am losing. So yea, if you want to lose you probably will; if you want to bulk up, you might be able to but will probably need more...well, depending on how you eat your calories.

Ottawa here:)

Fantastic! You are one of the ones that look like a whole different person, I can't believe how much your face has changed, you have always been good looking but I think you really glow now! Good for you, 265 days is a huge milestone, and 100lbs weight loss!

I wouldn't worry about it because its definitely not "fat" weight. It could be a mixture of water weight, extra muscle, body confusion. Give your body a chance to adjust and it will disappear. Remember that how you feel is more important but if you must have a number its better to go by inches than lbs....especially if…

IMO there is not ALWAYS something underlying, just 90% of the time, on one end or the other. I have maybe 1 or 2 guys friends and I know a few guys, where I know that NOTHING would or could ever happen because I would never want it to. The rest I don't talk to much because it is one of those I am not currently interested…

I'm sorry, I was too critical. "Boobs are icky" is a valid reason not to breastfeed. What was I thinking? You have shown me the error of my ways.

Oh yea and to answer the actual question Pre-pregnancy #1 133lbs End of Pregnancy #1 40w3days gestation 172 lbs 14 months post partum Goal weight of 110 lbs Pre-pregnancy #2 118lbs End of pregnancy #2 161 lbs Immediately after birth #2 143lbs Currently 6 months post partum 127lbs Goal weight WILL be 115 lbs

I don't agree with judging based on if the mother has health issues which don't allow her to breastfeed, if she HAS to go to work because her kids would not be able to live without her going to work and the pumps don't work for her ( they don't for me) . BUT, and I don't care who you are, if the ONLY reason you are denying…

I have no idea and wish I could help you but I am the opposite. I don't think the belly is the last to go because it has the majority of fat stores, people just lose weight differently. Even when I am 20-30 lbs over my goal weight, my stomach is relatively flat but my hips and thighs are explosive. People just carry weight…

Lemon and dill on salmon, plain, simple and delicious.

This is awesome for salads. Just put what is in it and it will tell you how many calories are in it. http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/recipes/build-a-salad/

holy crap on a cracker, that's only one month?! Way to go girl!

what really bothers me about tjhis is you saying you CURRENTLY do not want anymore children and have had this stance for the past 6 years.... Thats still really young, and you did you did use the word currently... Don't do anything permanent you are not 100 million percent sure of. Besides, there are a lot of semi…

I don't think that this is always the case but I have heard that bad sugar cravings can have to do with systemic yeast (which is actually very common) it is basically a yeast infection in your intestinal tract. I am almost positive I have this as well. My daily sugar intake is anywhere from 5-10X the recommended amount,…

^ Excellent :D Thank you very much!!

Thanks for the tips everyone. I should clarify that I am looking for all around fitness, so lifting, cardio and general strength training. Also, I am in no way opposed to do (or trying to do) pushups, I just physically cannot do them. I had a bit of a botched epidural 5 months ago and it feels like my spine is going to…

My first pregnancy I gained 60 lbs and it took 10 months to get back, this pregnancy I gained 42lbs and am 5 months post partum and have 10 lbs and toning to do.

This is really motivating for me because I have been stuck around 127-129 for quite a while now, so maybe I should stop paying any attention to the scale and start paying more attention to how I look and feel. Go by measurements, not pounds!

Pizza is most certainly fast food, but if thats all you've had in the last 45 days then you still get kudos from me. I never go to burger joints, but I'll have pizza once in a while and I go to Tim Hortons pretty much everyday, but mostly just for a coffee, or a soup or sandwich.... so I'm more of a tim hortons holic than…

Anyone need some MOMivation, I am a 23 year old mother of two. One 3 year old boy and a 5 month old girl. Lets all get fit together :)

Age: 23 SW: 143 CW: 127 GW: 118 UGW: 110-115 Height: 5'4

I've lost 15lbs in the last 3 and a half months... I've messed up a few times or it would have been more.
