It's time for me to get serious about losing some weight

[patbutcher]

I'm on week two. My name is my old one with an extra s. Icedgemss

My Fitbit broke last week but they mailed me out a new one on Friday.

I've been trying to run/elliptical 6x a week but diet is my downfall.

gravytrain225 Facebook before and after photos have inspired me to go low carb

When I was using MFP for calorie tracking I put in breastfeeding as a food and it showed -500 calories. I put it under snacks and it worked out great. I lost 30lbs between pregnancies 2 and 3 with MFP!

I'm here too! Tomorrow is the day I get serious. I'd love to lose 15 pounds before we TTC #2 in a few months. Good luck, all!

Omg gravy!!!!! You look fantastic!!!! I can't get over it!!

So you did this with MFP? Over how long? Were you BF? So many questions, I want to duplicate your results!!

[antoniamarchette]

gravytrain225 you look fantastic!! What a great inspiration!

[noodleskooze]

Holy Miley, gravytrain! You look great!

ETA lol autocorrect. Leaving it.

So. I only started losing weight when I stopped allowing 500 extra calories for beeastfeeding. Once your kid is on solids I recommend doing it under exercises per minute. 15 minutes of breastfeeding is like 60 calories.

Not at all, however ive always had a good supply. But for most women, the actual calories burned from breastfeeding is closer to 300-350 calories the first 6 months, then less after that. So allotting an extra 500 calories for nursing means you're probably over consuming 200 calories a day.

NOW - If there are days Im hungry near the end of the day but out of calories, I will still eat of course. I will just choose some fruit, veggies and lean protein.
