More friends with babies under a year?
Hi Fit People! I have some great mommy friends on here already, but could really use some more pals who are in the same stage of life as I am. It is so so hard for me to get motivated some days, eat well, work, take care of everyone else, then still have some of my own sanity left! My baby is 4 months, and I'm…

tummy workouts
Has anyone had success getting their tummy back in pre-baby shape? Is it mostly diet and weight loss or have you found certain exercises to be helpful? Or does it just take time for the skin to shrink back down? I am almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight (2-3lbs away), but my jeans and pants are still tight around the…

Lost the pregnancy lbs
I told myself that when I lost all my pregnancy weight I would post to the success board, so here it goes! Before I got pregnant, I was in good shape- ran a lot and had completed 2 half marathons. I got pregnant in January 2014 weighing right at 140. I immediately had to slow down my workouts due to low blood sugar issues…

Breastfeeding but not hungry?
It seems like everyone says bfing makes you even hungrier than during pregnancy, but I'm finding the opposite. I couldn't get enough to eat during the whole pregnancy, but now that I'm bfing I just don't have much of an appetite. Sometimes I get nausea during a feeding, and high calorie foods just don't sound good. So, i…

Looking for friends: fit pregnancy
Hi! I just found out this weekend that I am expecting my first baby in September! I am super excited and hope to go through this pregnancy fit, healthy, and happy. I am not new to MFP.

Hydration system
It's no longer convenient for me to plan my long runs around water sources, so I'm thinking about carrying water with me. I'm currently doing 14 miles for my long run but hope to work my way up to a marathon this spring. Could some other runners give me advice about a hydration pack or belt you have found to be helpful?…

Needed: vacation meal ideas
I'll be on vacation to a cabin in the Rocky Mountains starting next week. =) I need some simple, gluten/dairy free lunch and dinner ideas. I pretty much have breakfast and snacks taken care of with eggs, bacon, and fruit. I will have access to a kitchen but the nearest grocery store is about an hour away so the recipes…

could really use some insight/advice
Hi, I'm hecham and I'm slowly buying into this EM2WL thing. =) I am 26 yrs old, female, 5'3 and my current weight is 135. My BMR is about 1350. My sedentary tdee is 1600, but I burn about 1800-1900 with normal daily activity (like work and errands). I have worn a bodybugg in the past and about 1800 was what I registered on…

maintenance for the holidays- realistic?
Hello all: I upped my calories from around 1400 net to 2200 total (maintenance) about 3 weeks ago as the holiday festivities were starting. I did this because for one, I was finding it too hard to stay under my goal with all the Christmas parties, and secondly, I was not losing weight at 1400 net anyway. I thought upping…

healty eating/open diary
My MFP friends are wonderful, but I would like to meet some more people who are willing to have their food logs open, and perhaps get some healthy eating ideas from one another. I am basically maintaining at this point, but I use MFP daily to keep track of food intake, nutrients, and workouts. I love to encourage others…

variation on oatmeal
I don't know about others, but I find that one packet of oatmeal just doesn't seem like a lot of food. I have a low calorie way to add more volume to your oatmeal. Prepare 1 packet of oatmeal or instant oats according to directions. (I use weight control Quaker, 160 calories per packet) Then add 1 cup puffed millet cereal…

Friends that encourage wholesome eating
Hello =) I am looking for friends that will encourage me in my efforts to eat a more well-rounded diet. For the past month, I have followed the Food Addicts Anonymous food plan (for the most part), which I believe has done wonders for my energy as well as weight loss. Now that I'm getting close to my goal weight, I could…
