C-section stomach or those who had big babies
I was fairly tiny pre-pregnancy, 5'8 and weighing between 115-130 depending on the time of year. I ended up gaining a lot (60+) and having a pretty big baby (9.5lbs) which ended in an emergency c-section. I know a lot of women with kids who have perfect stomachs through really hard work but mine just won't go back to…

help me through March
I've been using mfp half-assed and unsuccessfully for a few years. There were times (months) when I wouldn't log at all,then months where I would, lose weight, gain it back. I started taking it seriously just a few weeks ago, I upped my calories to prevent binge eating (I am very prone to this) and am taking the weight…

scale hasn't moved in six weeks
I'm 1 lb heavier than I was six weeks ago, the scale isn't moving at all, however I've lost a few inches in this time. My tracking is accurate. Do I need to make any changes if I'm losing inches? Six weeks is long time for the scale not to move.

What can I do besides drink?
Before I embarked on my weight loss journey drinking was one of the ways I dealt with stress. It wasn't all the time and it wasn't out of control, but I always enjoyed the slight buzz of that 2nd glass of wine with my husband at the end of the day. I am not giving up alcohol forever but I it really is hindering any weight…

is 147 at 5'8 big?
I was always 125-135 before having a child. I got up to 153 last xmas (got much bigger while pregnant). It is technically in the healthy range but I feel huge at 147 and I've even had friends mention that I look bigger (rude). I don't know if setpoints are a real thing but my body really likes this weight. Even though I'm…

Do you eat back the calories you burn if you are trying to lose weight?
i posted earlier about being on a 1,480 a day calorie diet (my diet is very healthy and nutrient dense). I got mixed responses about eating back the calories. Some days I only burn 200 calories but other days I burn 600. I figured the program was set up to eat back the calories since it added back the calories…

Is 1,480 enough to feel satisfied long term and should you eat back the calories you burn?
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, for awhile to lose the last of the baby weight. I tend to eat too little and then my cheat day would be out of control and I would just stay the same weight. I bumped up my calories to 1,480 so I can lose a lb a week but I eat back what I exercise so I don't feel like I am starving. Will…
