Then, I'll change my data after the baby is born. We'll see if I can keep up with it. I wonder what types of easter candy they have on there... Oh and I'm jbhops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal/page/2#post-119337 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:36:17 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 119337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I signed up and sent you all friend requests :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal/page/2#post-119275 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 11:51:20 +0000 Crisark 119275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: no problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal/page/2#post-119268 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 11:49:51 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 119268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crisark thanks.

I actually have no idea how much I weigh but I would love to track my workouts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal/page/2#post-119175 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:47:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 119175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldilocks1107: yay sounds great!<br /> I actually used it to help me gain the appropriate samount og weight while pregnant. I only went 4 lbs over my goal :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal/page/2#post-119167 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:43:46 +0000 Goldilocks1107 119167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to sign up as soon as I have this baby! Although DH says he knows I'll have to buy new clothes post-baby, I'm hoping to be able to buy new clothes in my old size as soon as possible (I can totally live in jersey dresses in the summer, and am in no way setting myself up for disappointment ;-).) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-119144 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:29:08 +0000 Andrea 119144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this app sounds great! I will probably use it at some point and then I will add you gals ... if you ladies are still using it by then!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-119136 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:21:30 +0000 SAHM0811 119136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: awesome! I'm sure you'll be ready for the 5k in July! thanks for posting about this app! I am liking it a lot so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-119111 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:05:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 119111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: yay! We can motivate each other, I'm trying the C25K as well but haven't run since last Wednesday (but I've been to the gym three times). I signed for for a 5k in July as motivation- it's been on my "bucketlist" too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118850 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 06:28:22 +0000 Crisark 118850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got and approved you ladies that requested me! Any are more than welcome.<br /> I've had some consistent 1lb loss just like it said I would so that's encouraging. This week I made the mistake of eating Dominos and then bloating up 2 dang lbs of water. So, I'm trying to get that off so my weigh in tomorrow wont be frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118820 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 00:26:56 +0000 SAHM0811 118820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm downloading this now and will follow you gals! </p> <p>Since having DD#2 my eating habits have been the worst they have ever been :/ I "stress eat" a lot and even though I'm bf'ing all the time still, I have 10-15 lbs to lose! </p> <p>I started C25K last week because it helped me lose weight after my first baby, but I haven't run since last Fri... I keep making excuses... Hope this helps motivate me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118798 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 23:20:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@His Barista: aww! what a good hubby :) dh did that for me a lot until lo started sleeping more on his own. Have a good night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118795 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 23:13:48 +0000 His Barista 118795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will try to remember to log on in the morning. : ) right now dh is taking lo so I can get a head start on sleep. I need it today! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118794 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 23:11:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@His Barista: join us! I know you probably can't work out yet, but you will be able to soon. I used it for the wedding too and it was so great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118790 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 23:04:12 +0000 His Barista 118790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it to get in shape for the wedding...I loved it. I haven't been on in forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118788 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 22:54:18 +0000 enjollah 118788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: from what I've read on different sites/books, they say that when breastfeeding, you should have anywhere from 300-500 calories. I haven't been tracking but I know I've been eating a lot and don't always choose the healthiest snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118782 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 22:44:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: today I was actually under, but the goal they set for me is 2,000 calories, and I had about 1700 today.<br /> I actually hardly ever go over. I try to eat a mostly "whole foods" diet, so even if I eat a lot of veggies, it's very low-cal. That's my secret ;) haha. </p> <p>I'm really not sure what I should be aiming for while breastfeeding though... do you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118776 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 22:35:36 +0000 enjollah 118776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: so do you always go over your allotted calories? I inputted my lunch and dinner and am in the negatives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118771 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 22:23:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: yeah that's the way C25K works, pretty slow. The first workout is a brisk 5 min warm up walk, then alternating running/walking every 90 seconds for 20 minutes, then 5 minutes cool-down walk. But I only made it 15 minutes my first work out :( blah. But it was a full mile.<br /> and yes, I run outside :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118761 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 22:07:52 +0000 cupcakemama 118761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: keep at it! It's such a great workout! One tip I will make is that most beginners run too fast. You need to start really slow. Also, running outside is way easier than on the treadmill. At least I think so. 20 minutes on the TM and I want to chew my arm off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118753 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:57:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: I am envious of runners. I have a hard time running, I am trying to do the C25K program and couldn't even finish the first workout lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118752 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:55:52 +0000 cupcakemama 118752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: yep. I do weights at the gym and I am a runner so I am trying to get some consistency with that. It's kind of two steps forward, one step back though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118750 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:52:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: are you a member at a gym? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118748 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:50:19 +0000 cupcakemama 118748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: lol. My problem is that I was really fit beforehand so my lack of fitness now is a stark and unwelcome contrast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118745 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:48:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: yeah I'm pretty pathetic in that area too. I modify every workout in each class I take at the YMCA. I tell myself it's cause I just had a baby, but I know that I wouldn't have been able to do it before that anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118739 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:41:21 +0000 cupcakemama 118739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: I might have to investigate. I need some accountability. My weight is fine but I desperately need to regain my fitness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-use-fitnesspal#post-118736 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:39:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: aww thanks so much! I loved my maternity pics :)<br /> haha! well 2 lbs a week is a lot. I would say you probably shouldn't ever eat less than 1500 calories as a rule of thumb. I'm surprised it even suggests it that low. </p> <p>@enjollah: this makes it so easy. I could never keep up with food journals, but this makes it fun! and you're right, it makes you want to log in healthy food :)<br /> and yeah... I'm being a little lenient with myself on the calories because of breastfeeding. I know I need to eat more than what it tells me. So for now I eat when I feel hungry, but make sure it's something healthy, like veggie, fruit, crackers + cheese, etc. </p> <p>@cupcakemama: I'm not sure.. I have it on my iPod and don't have an android so I wouldn't know. </p>
