Just joined MFP this week so I thought I'd say hi. I'm a mom of a 4 year old boy, 2. 5 year old girl and 3 month old boy and am itching to get rid of the baby weight - so here I am! I am also planning on running the Chicago Marathon in October so I need to lose this baby weight before I start training seriously - too much jiggle in my job these days :)

    Fun!! Our kids are almost the same ages. I have 3 boys. 5 yrs, 2.5 yrs, and 3 months! I am SOOOO ready to get rid of the belly!! Let me know how running goes...I jog occasionally...the Army kind of ruined running for me..but if I gets results, I'm all about it. I'm doing Insanity right now. It's crazy. Occasionally I will run on a treadmill..but really trying to stick out the 60 days of Insanity before I move on to something else. Also thinking of starting to log the 500 calories for breastfeeding..I feel hungry all the time!

    i have been logging -300 calories for breastfeeding and it seems to be just right - plus i figure it gives me a 200 calorie buffer if i go over or under calories. i am on the verge of hungry but not starving. whats insanity? i am trying some weights, running and interval training to lose the baby belly. fun we have kids the same ages!
