Im a newbie.. I 30 years old.. had a baby 5 months ago.. and have been trying to lose weight for the past 2 months now.. Ive tried to count calories.. but dont think Im doing a very good job at it.. I forget some days.. i dont always write things down.. and Im not always sure of how many calories are in what. Ive increased my walking, and tried increasing my activity also. I havent lost one pound yet. :( IM starting new today.. Im going to commit to counting those calories, and learingin how! And getting my walking/ more in atleast 3 times a week. I am at 175 pounds.. I would like to get to a healthy weight of 135. Before I ever had childrenI was at 125.. I in no way expect to get to that.. but I have gotten back to 135 twice now.. after my last two children.. so I know I can do it again...
So Ive read a few things on here already.. and it looks like this place could help.. I hope! :) SO. Hello!
 
Hi Amy14

I am new to this forum too. Congrats on your baby bet you got your hands full! How did you achieve your weight loss before?

I too put on weight after my baby but I just cant seem to lose it.

Im going to read as much as I can on this forum, everybody seems so friendly and helpful.

I really dont remember how I lost the weight the last time.. It was 9 years ago! I do remember that I lost it very slowly... it took years.. but I also didnt do anything... I didnt watch what I ate or anything.. Its frustrating when I finally do start to watch what I eat and wlak and do things.. and I lose nothing..
Have you gained alot? What are you trying?
 
Amy,
Hi and welcome to the site. Counting calories can be very frustrating. That was the method i chose and it does work. Like anything it just takes a little effort and it is well worth. After a while, counting calories and reading labels become a lot easier.

I would suggest reading a lot of the sticky threads located at the top of each section. They have so much info and it's a great way to learn.

Also, this place is great for support. Stick around and post and you will meet some really nice people.

I wish you the best of luck and STAY MOTIVATED. You can do this.

Matt
