Hi, this is my second time here
Hi, I'm Hazel. I'm 27 years old and a mother to one four year old girl. This is my second time here at My Fitness Pal. The first time I tried losing weight I went from 244lbs down to 193. However, after the birth of my daughter I have gone back up to 223. I have a goal of getting to 147lbs and I'm more determined than…

anyone else struggling to lose weight after having a baby?
I've piled on about 14lbs since having my daughter (oops) but having had gestational diabetes and having my diet so restricted I splurged a bit. Now I'm struggling to get back to what I weighed when I got pregnant, let alone drop any more after that. Any other new Mums having similar issues?

Gestational diabetes; a blessing in disguise
So... I just had my first baby 3 weeks ago and I'm already the skinniest I've been in so long I don't even remember. 194.2lbs. When I got married on the 14th June last year I weighed 196lbs. I was diagnosed with Gestational diabetes at 27 weeks and it meant I had to watch all my blood sugar levels to make sure my little…

Think I'm in need of some reassurance.
Hey there guys, I'm currently in training for a 50 mile cycle ride and although I've been eating well and cycling for almost 2-3 hours a day for a few daysa week I'm gaining weight. Could this be because my body is retaining water to repair my muscles? This is my thought as I can't think what else it might be. Does anyone…

Under 200lbs (Onederland!)
I've been waiting to post this for about 10 days but I wanted to make sure it wasn't a total fluke one day on my scales. I've been under 200lbs now for nearly two weeks and I'm so happy about it. I still have over 50lbs to lose but I'm still so happy with myself. My progress has slowed down now to about a lb a week but I'm…

Ex-smokers! I need some advice to help me quit
Hey there, When I started this journey I told myself I'd lose the first 14lbs and then give up smoking. Well I've now lost 40lbs and I'm still smoking. I just can't seem to kick the habit. Any advice on things I can do to make it a little easier?

Water weight. How long does it hang around for?
Hey everyone, Just a quick one really. Yesterday I weighed in at 204.4lbs. This was before I decided to take on a massive 12 mile walk, which left me so achey that I couldn't stay still too long for fear of seizing up. I stood on the scales this morning and now weigh 207.4! I know a lot of this is going to be water weight…

Any other Roller Derby players out there?
I just thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone replied. It would be nice to have some friends on here who play the same sport as I do. I also coach it as of this Sunday just gone. Anyone? Feel free to add me anyway. I like new friends :)

Help please!
Hey everyone, Firstly thankyou for reading my post. I'm 22 and have so far lost 34lbs on my journey since August. However, I've now stalled. I can't seem to break the 210lbs barrier and am at the moment suffering with quite severe constipation. I know sorry, a little too much information perhaps but I think it is part of…

Does anyone know what the website was called...

high calorie snacks
I'm in need of some kind of high calorie snack. I've just managed to drag my body out of starvation mode and I need to eat something after a major workout as I don't want to have such a massive deficit. Doing this was what put me into starvation mode in the first place! Any help you can offer would be much appreciated!

28lbs down
I don't honestly feel much different, although I do look different and my clothes are certainly a lot looser. I am quite proud of myself though as I did most of that in about 8 weeks :) Does anyone have any tips? Before: 244lbs After: 216lbs

Has anyone lost a shoe size on their journey?
I seem to have gone from squeezing my foot into a UK size 8 shoe (sometimes a 9!) to being very comfy in a size 7. Am I just odd or is this something that happens sometimes? Did I just have fat feet before?

London Marathon
I was just sat on the sofa and my other half looks to me and says 'I'd quite like to run the London Marathon'. I was gobsmacked! I have wanted to do it for quite some time, but at 222lbs and having bad knees I still don't think it's achieveable next year. What do other people think?

BMI/Ideal weight online calculators
Hey there! I'm Hazel and I'm 21. I currently weigh 225lbs and my goal at the moment is 170lbs. I'm 5"6' and according to most BMI calculators I should be around 140lbs. I'd love to be there but I have a large frame, i.e. broad shoulders, big hands and huge feet and think I'd look silly (not to mention stupidly skinny) at…
