I'm back and looking for fellow moms
I love MFP but I haven't been so active in a long time. I now have an 8 month old son and am looking for some fellow new moms. I'm breastfeeding but am very slowly weaning. I'd love some friends who are in the same boat. Also, any midnight workers who get no sleep and constantly fight the junk food option when tired?! Glad…

Maintaining weight
Is it just me or is it really hard to maintain the weight you set out for? I am currently at a good spot and would like to not lose or gain anymore weight. I have found this to be pretty hard, despite the many thoughts that it's probably easy to do. When you're trying to lose weight, the solution is rather simple in that…

Ugh--is it possible??
Is it possible I gained 5 pounds in a matter of a couple days? I didn't overeat...I ate more than usual yesterday but it wasn't CRAZY. I guess I just want to know if it's more possible these extra pounds are water weight or actual weight gain? Whatcha guys think?

Strength Training...?!
Can anyone explain to me how I can log (for example) 20 mins of strength training, under the cardio section, and only burn 9 calories?? Is that possible, and if so, how? I do the weight machines at the gym, so I considered that to be strength training. Is there another option because I know I work hard on those machines…

Anyone have any fun ideas to do something active when it's SOO cold out?? I would LOVE to go for a jog outside but I think it's probably best not to. Aside from dancing around my house, anyone have any ideas?

Skipping a work-out day
I don't know if anyone can relate but I feel pretty down when I skip a day of working out. I work out often, 6 times a week usually--30-40 minutes of running & hit the machines for full body workout. There's usually one day of the week that I just lose all interest in working out so I skip it. The entire day I feel so…
