That's an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations!

Great job! I am also a nursing mom struggling to lose the weight without losing my milk supply. I was 223 when I had my daughter. I'm hoping to get down to 150 by Christmas. Thanks for sharing your story!

You're doing awesome! You look great! Thank you for sharing your story!!!

Wow! You did an amazing job! Congratulations! You look great :)

After I had my fourth child in the beginning of June, I dropped 30 lbs almost instantly. (Lots of water!) Then I was struggling with the same five pounds for six weeks UNTIL I saw your post! You have totally motivated me to get rid of this extra weight FOREVER! I have a similar body to your "before" picture and I can't…

I started the 30 Day Shred today but I am so out of shape that I just couldn't keep up. I just had a baby six weeks ago (my fourth one) and I definitely need to get my butt in gear! My two year old was trying to hang on me and crying for my attention as soon as I tried to start it. I'll have to do it during nap time…

You look great! Congratulations for getting back on the wagon. I'm going to have to check that out after I have my baby :)

Hi! I'm a stay at home mom of three pregnant with my fourth! I started MFP and lost 14 lbs before getting pregnant. Now I'm just trying not to gain too much before I have the baby and can start over :)

I think it's fun that we're on the same week! I'll be 8 weeks on Thursday :) How are you feeling? I'm really struggling with stomach issues. Some nausea but the anti-nausea meds didn't help. My stomach just feels upset all the time and I'm always tired! I think I'm going to have to really watch what I'm eating. I haven't…

Yes! Please send me the info. Thanks!

Thank you for all your replies. I do plan to discuss this with my doctor. I will be ecstatic if I can gain less than 20 lbs!! I think its awesome that you were able to do that, frugalmomsrock! Dinnae - thank you for the calculator and article! Very helpful. I am hoping to be the healthiest that I can be - for me and the…

I love carrot sticks and hummus :)

I think people who believe things like that are too lazy to do the work that it takes to lose it! You can do it! It will just take time...

I don't have a smart phone either :( My suggestion is if you're not near your computer, keep a small notebook that you can jot down your calories/exercise in until you have time to sit and enter them into the computer. Hope this helps!

I nursed my daughter until she was almost 12 months old. It was a nice way to burn up more calories and do something great for my daughter. I immediately gained 10 lbs after she was done! Yikes! Thanks for your post. I don't want to lose any of my muscle either! I'm going to add exercise this week and eat up those calories…

Welcome! I also struggle with the thighs (and my butt!) Hoping to lose everywhere though! We can do this! :)

I've been feeling great. I eat a lot of low calorie vegetables throughout the day so I rarely feel hungry. I'm vegetarian so I don't have to use a lot of calories for meat. I eat eggs, hummus, nuts, beans and peanut butter instead. Thanks for your responses!

Wow! That is amazing! You are an inspiration to many, many people!!

I'm loving all these responses! I'm a stay at home mom of three. I often use the excuse that it's hard to get everyone ready and get to the YMCA. (We checked out the daycare at ours and have gotten to know some of the people who work there. Our kids always have fun. They will often take them outside and do fun things with…

I recently started this journey myself and I've been doing great so far! I would be willing to say if you keep up with the tracker and stay within your calorie range you could reach your goal before Christmas! My goal is my birthday which is January 2. I plan to lose 50 lbs by then. Yes, 50 lbs. And according to the "2…

I am a stay at home mom also since 2007. Unfortunately though I have been having a battle with my weight since I started trying to have children. I have been blessed with three beautiful children but cursed with an extra 50 lbs. (lol). I recently started myfitnesspal.com. I'm excited to say that I've already lost 7 lbs.…

WOW! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations on your motivation and current weight loss! Being aware is half the battle. When I get cravings for things like chocolate it's easy to just give in and write the rest of the day off like you said, but think of how great you'll feel later when you know you didn't give in!
