My fitness pal group for May mommas?

Asantusa1

It was discussed several weeks ago that May mommas were going to develop a group on my fitness pal to assist with weight loss post baby, Offer support..ect.
The online website is great.

Does anyone know if this was started? Anyone interested?

lrmrtn

I'm in. I used it before and really liked it.

gutsysneakers

Oh, I'd like to join!

DBonfante

I would love to join! I've never used this app(??) before. How do I get started?

gutsysneakers

I'm mobile but there was a thread a few weeks back that I think @Mamarazziof3‌ started ?

@DBonfante‌ - I downloaded the free app on my phone. I've never used it but I think it works like livestrong - tracks your food intake and any exercise.

I think there is a way to add followers so we can all be accountable. I've lost 23 of the 35 I gained at my 9 day pp check-up. I have about 12 lbs to lose to get back to prepreg weight but I'd like to lose 15.

Does anyone know if there is a way MFP will take into account BF? I plugged in my numbers and it says I should be eating around 1200 calories which seems extremely low given the fact that I am BF.

@Jcrewgirl85‌ thanks!! I am going to download it now

DBonfante

Ok my username is daniellemetz521 add me!

I'd like to join! I used it prepreg, and plan to use it again. But a support group would be great!
Although I was told yesterday at 3 wks PP no where near doing anything more than light walking until I'm cleared at 6 wks. Getting antsy to get rid of this extra weight.

@Jcrewgirl85‌ If you type in breastfeeding in the food search it will come up with a bunch of hits and it will add 500cals to your food diary.

cbrust

I'm interested to! I have lost 20 of the 30 I gained but I'd like to lose 20 more. I need to re download the app and get started again! I have my 6 week pp visit on Friday so hopefully I'll be cleared for exercise.
ETA: I'm cbrust11 on MFP

gutsysneakers

I'm still Jcrewgirl85 on MFP.

cbrust

How do you add people by usernames?

gutsysneakers

@cbrust - I don't know either. We may need to get on a computer and not be mobile? I can only see adding through FB or email.

lrmrtn

I'm Lrmrtn on mfp. Please add me!

DBonfante

Eek how do you add people by username. I swear I'm technologically impaired lol.

cbrust

@Jcrewgirl85‌ I think I figured it out. I tried adding you, did it work?

DBonfante

Ok you have to do it from an actual computer. I am going to try it now an add those of you who have shared your names.

jsaffer01

I'm interested in joining.. I just downloaded the app. And when LO is napping I'll actually go on a comp and add the people who have shared their names. I think this is a great idea. Except I won't be able to do much until my 6wk appt on July 1st

jackdustin

I'm interested my username is jackdustin

jsaffer01

My username is jbragan01

gutsysneakers

It worked. Was anybody able to add from mobile?

cbrust

I just used safari on my phone and went on the website instead of using the app

gutsysneakers

Figured it out. It's under the email option on the mobile site. You have the option of entering the username of the person. I've added everyone who shared their username.

I'm interested. My user ID is shaunabrill. I won't be able to start exercising for another two weeks at my six week appointment but I'm trying to walk every other day and eat healthy, which is proving hard because after having heartburn for four months straight I'm craving all the yummy food I couldn't eat.

gutsysneakers

I'm in the same boat. I still have 3 weeks to go before my 6 week check up. I can only walk and try and eat better.

Asantusa1

Wow looks like a lot are interested. I will start a group and add those who provided their names. Message me your username and I can add you. I will do this tonight.

Breast feeding adds 500 cals and you log same as food. Really easily user friendly app with great food data base. Will post again once I have group running.

You can add it to your food diary, I usually put it under snacks. "Exclusively Nursing" is what I use.

My user name is saracarpenter627. I'm glad we're all doing this! I've been pretty bad at keeping up with it but maybe with more people on there I will hold myself more accountable!

We can be each other's support!

Jennyinheaven
