  • Hi I'm a breastfeeding mom too! I'm trying to go easy on myself in terms of weightloss since feeding my baby is the number one priority, but so few of my clothes fit and I'm just generally uncomfortable. Now that I'm back at work I need to do something so I don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe. I gained way too much…
  • Thanks everyone for your replies! We had a good appointment with Dr and everything was fine. We go back in about a month for our first ultrasound. I found this website that's literally called "miscarriage odds reassurer" where you put in your height, weight, and how many weeks you are and it tells you the odds of a…
  • @VeryKatie thank you! I'm hoping talking with my doctor and a blood test with her help make it sink it. Right now I'm just assuming all of the tests were wrong and I'm not actually pregnant..? Like I'll get to the appt and they'll be mad I wasted their time hahah
  • @puffbrat thanks so much! I would not have thought about peanut butter or chocolate milk but they both sound delicious.
  • Hi ladies! I haven't checked in here in a while but I had several positive tests over the last few days! I have an appt with my OB on Friday to do bloodwork, etc for an official confirmation (it still doesn't feel real!). Today puts me at 4 weeks with a tentative due date in mid April. I'm trying so hard not to get ahead…
  • SW: 281.4 GW: 180 LW: 205.2 TW: 206.8 OL: 74.6 Really struggled this week. I felt like I couldn't stop eating and I was tired all the time. Trying not to beat myself up and am hoping I got it out of my system this week and can move on.

  • SW: 281.4 GW: 180 LW: 207.4 TW: 205.6 OL: 75.8 Hit a new low weight this week so I'm hopeful about getting through this plateau soon!
  • Hi I'm Marietta. I'm 31, between 5'5-6". I started losing weight April 2017, started at 281 and have lost about 75 pounds. I'm currently stuck in a month long plateau and about to lose my mind, so I'm hoping this group will help with with sanity and/or weight loss. My goal is to get to one-derland by the end of the month…
  • Thanks @Alioth! Congrats on your little one, he's adorable!
  • @DoubleUbea This is amazing, thanks so much for sharing! I've tried to create something similar as I've always been curious how accurate the predictions are and if I'm on track with MFPs idea. Quick question, I update my weight on MFP weekly so on your spreadsheet should I keep the same weight in column B until I update it…
  • Starting Weight: 281.4 (April 2017) Challenge Start Weight: 207.6 Summer Challenge Wt Goal: 195.6 Comments or thoughts to begin the session: I fell off the wagon during the last challenge but in the past two weeks I've gotten back on track. My weight has pretty much stayed the same for about 3 months and I am READY to…
  • @WifiresGettingFit Thanks! I started my period this morning, which is OK. After looking through my charts/cycle history I think I figured out that my cycle tends to be a few days longer when I am exercising consistently compared to when I'm not. So if I stay consistent with exercise this month, hopefully next month I'll be…
  • Just joined the spreadsheet! Got my visit from AF this morning, which is OK as I didn't really expect to get pregnant during the first month. But I feel bloated and meh and pretty PMS-y so didn't get a great workout in this morning. My goals for the week are to exercise at least 4x and to up my water intake at work. I've…
  • Hi everyone. I'm new to this group and new to TTC. We've only been trying for one month and my period is about two days late, but I had a negative pregnancy test yesterday. So I'm playing a weird waiting game and trying not to stress about it. I'm excited to find this group on MFP as I still want to lose as much weight as…
  • Female - Age 31 Height - 5'6" Starting weight - 281.4 (April 2017) Current weight - 206.2 Loss since 7/1 - 1.4 Goal weight by end of 2018 - 181.4 Down 1.4 this week, though I weighed myself this morning and was back up to 207.6 so we're going with Sunday's number. I've been bouncing between 206-208 for months and I'm…
  • This weekend I ran for 32 minutes, just over 2.5 miles. The only reason I stopped was my clumsy butt accidentally pulled the emergency stop on the treadmill. I really really wanted to run a 5K (a first for me) but oh well! I'm giving my legs a few days to recover and then I'll try again. I feel like I know I can do it -…
  • @hipari yaaass! you're killing it!
  • Female - Age 31 Height - 5'6" Starting weight - 281.4 (April 2017) Current weight - 207.6 Goal weight by end of 2018 - 181.4 I've been gaining and losing the same 5lbs for the past 2-3 months so I need this accountability! Decided that I was restarting/recommiting as of July 1 so this is good timing. My goal for July is to…
  • @hipari Get it girl! I've been doing a mix of C25K and just seeing how long I can run without stopping, mostly because week 5 day 3 scared me. You got this!
  • I ran for 20 minutes straight this morning. A few weeks ago running for 5 was a struggle. I'm exhausted but so pumped!
  • I want to get to One-derland. I've been bouncing around 206-211 for the past 2 months and I think there's some self sabotage going on. Just need to STAY FOCUSED and I know I can do it.

  • I'm visiting family next week in South Carolina so my mini goal is to stay on track with eating and exercising until I leave. My brother is in the military and has been overseas for a year and a half, in which I've lost 75 pounds, and I can't wait to see his reaction!
