That would be fun!!! Dooooo it  

And don't let the set backs discourage you. I like to use mine as motivation to do better the next day  

I'm shocked!!! I had LO by csection 2 weeks ago in Friday it'll be. I haven't been able to do any working out obviously and I'm just bfing and using mfp again. I am down to 8 lbs under my pre preg weight!   I'm so glad all my hard work to lose 20 lbs before getting preg wasn't lost. That was my biggest anxiety was having to start all over   I'm super motivated and ready to get to doing more once I'm healed   I still have to wear my maternity and fat jeans (jeans I wore before weightless pre preg) because my belly is so sore and still really loose

I will work sooo hard if I get the chance, you don't get things like this come up often! I think im going to start keeping a food diary again. It used to help so much seeing how much I ate and when. X

Quoting Monkey Nuts:"   I can relate to some of those. I feel ashamed of seeing anyone who saw me when I was smaller vs now... "

I can relate to a lot of these but this one hit home he most. I don't WANT to go hang out with friends or certain people that haven't seen me in a little while because I am so embarrassed/ashamed at how big I have gotten.

I'm only 4 kilos or 8lbs down from my starting weight.
I haven't been good the entire time, but a lot better than previously.
I'm going on a month without alcohol which is HUGE for me....
But I haven't been exercising as much as I would like and I don't have any good excuse it's just been too much with work and I haven't been bothered.

But hey, a few kilos a month in a year will put me in a really great position so I can't be upset with that!

Congratulations everyone for sticking with it.
It only takes a small change to make a difference.

That's what I use mfp for. It helps me stay accountable for what I consume. It helped me lose the 20 before getting preg. And it's hopefully gonna keep me on this same track now that I'm pp. you really should use it

That's awesome!!! They say if you start out overdoing yourself you'll quit easier. You have to start slow and make it a habit to eat better and exercise. Once you're in the habit you can increase from there easier. I haven't counted calories in months or measures my servings while I was preg. I poured a bowl of cereal the other day and SO said why don't I measure it out. So I did and it was spot on 1cup haha. I guess old habits don't die!!! I'm so glad I'm able to still have the ambition to pick right back up where I left off.

I'm only down 8lbs. I have been loosing inches just not lbs.

Quoting lolajessup:" How's everyone doing with their weight loss?!"

I've been doing pretty good.
Starting to do a 40 minute elliptical workout first thing in the morning.
I'm 10 pounds away from pre-pregnancy.
and then another 30 to pre-pre-pregnancy.

Eventually the 40 will be gone. I'm hoping by the end of summer.

Hey looks and how you feel are way more important than the scale   great job!

That's great!! I have about 15 more lbs to my pre-pre preg weight. Idk where I'll be happy though. It depends on how I look and feel about myself.

I won't miss... Not being able to wear cute boots
My calves are so big, it's so annoying

My family is going clean and for once we are eating healthy.
I sure as hell don't want my kids to grow up with the nasty eating habits I had

I also don't want my kids having bad habits and being unhealthy. I'm so ashamed of myself because I often find myself being too hard on dd for her eating habits   I'm do afraid of her being fat and struggling and ruining her body like me that sometimes I get crazy   I hate myself for that.

That's how I feel too. I don't want them growing up on take out food every night.
I want good eating to come natural!! They love eating red peppers...I call them apples. ahah.

Me too!
I try my hardest to make excersice fun for her. Like if I'm on my treadmill she gets to go when I'm done. Lol
One thing I'm very greatful was my parents never picked on me for my weight (it was their fault of course) and I don't want Emma to ever hear me call her over weight or to think that's all that matters in life.

She will chose water over anything. Braden (18 months) has never had juice. People look at me crazy cuz I won't give Emma (5) soda. She's had sprite when she had the stomach flu, but I'm so scared about them growing up like dh and I.

My parents used to let us eat king size snicker bars for breakfast.
My dad would buy us a dozen donuts and lets us go to town.
