Starting over post baby!
Our family was blessed with a beautiful healthy baby boy and we are so excited! He is 7 weeks old today! I guess it goes without saying that 50lbs I dropped before baby was put back on... 3 weeks after baby I was back down to 29lbs away from prebaby weight... and I've decided today that I will restart my journey and finish…

Spanx!~
Just had to get this off of my chest.... When I started my weight loss journey, I started at 250lbs. Depending on where I shopped I could go up to a 18-20 jeans,2x, 20/22 blouses. My XL t-shirts were getting pretty tight. Now at 207 (no where near my goal of 160, but a little closer) I am happy to have gone down to a 16 in…

Heart-rate monitors and calories burned....
I just bought a SportLine S7 7 function ECG Heart rate watch monitor. Reading a lot of message board stuff about the great necessity for a heart rate monitor because of a gross over estimation of calories burned during work outs, I was expecting my calories burned to be LESS than what MFP was estimating it to be, but on…

Seriously confused....
Okay, so I have my goals set as lightly active, 3 - 30min workouts a week, and lose 2 pounds a week. My calories right now for my weight is 1,470. I got curious one day, and changed my goal to "maintain" and my calories jumped to 2,470.... What the heck is up with that? So even more curious I changed my life to sedentary,…

Okay so I just did level 2 on the 30 day shred video... wooo it was a little more intense than level one... yeah a little *cough* Anywho, does anyone know if as the videos progress if the workouts get longer, b/c on my dvd player it looked like this work out was 30 min. But I'm not for sure... HELP!

Not eating enough?
My recommended calorie intake is down to 1,400. I know that calorie wise I could eat as little as 1,200 and be "healthy" as a female. But I feel like I can't eat anything! A banana for breakfast, a chicken wrap and veggie sticks (chips) and a 60 calorie pudding for lunch. Pork chop, green beans, 1 potato and carrots for…

Rough week...
Had a really bad week as far as working out and eating well. I only worked out twice for 20 min, and I haven't been eating very clean and have been going over my calories. I've been super stressed, my mother just had a full hysterectomy (Her first step at trying to defeat her uterine cancer, which we found out about…

What would you do?
Gyms are pretty expensive! My work does not compensate for any kind of gym membership and I dont want to dish out 60 bucks a month for my husband and I to have a membership (and be tied down to pay another year of membership a $720 punch in the face considering I was mostly just using their tredmills and stationary…

Guess I should introduce myself!
I've been on MFP for almost a month now, and I really wish I had been introduced to it a long time ago. I've been large all of my teen/young adult life. From high school to college I dropped quite a bit of weight, but after I graduated from college, and got married I started putting on the pounds. My husband and I are very…
