Best at home work out?
Ladies- I need some new at home workouts. I would love to eventually do p90x but I know I'm not in any shape to do that right now. I've done JM30DS in the past and really liked it, but I need to mix it up. What are your favorite workouts at home (dvds, pinterest works outs, xbox active games, dance videos, etc...) I need…

Postpartum Body pics
Anybody want to share postpartum pictures? I've lost about 17 pounds so far in the first 2 weeks so I'm pleased with my progress so far. I've now stopped breastfeeding so will probably have to start watching what I'm eating again. I'll go first. Here's my pic:

I'm back (and ready to stay back this time)!
Hi Ladies! Missed you all so much! I just couldn't fit one more freaking thing in my schedule the last few weeks (months). BUT I'M BACK! For those of you on my friends list, you already know I was diagnosed with hypothyroid (who else is out there??) and "static migraines". I have been instructed to try to eat an…

Exercising with a newborn: How are we making it work?
Would love to hear how people are making a healthy lifestyle work with a new baby. Lets share what is working or questions we have. I have a 2 year old, a 2 month old and a double BOB jogging stroller. We run each morning, soon after baby's first feeding. Gotta run on "empty" if you know what i mean breastfeeding mommas! I…

Schedule vent
I'm feeling really guilty about not having LO on a quality schedule. Ideally, he would get to nap from 9:30-11 and 1-3. But this little guy has two older siblings and I cannot stop their world to let him sleep. So, the poor thing takes cat naps throughout the day. He is napping right now at almost 6pm because he was so…

Are you buying new clothes?
I'm highly annoyed that my fall wardrobe doesn't fit. I can't decide if I want to spend the money on clothes that I hope will be too big in a year. But I was close to tears this morning with almost nothing to wear. Did you/will you buy new clothes to fit until you're at your prepregnancy size? I would buy some things from…

Reducing breastfeeding calories
For those of you breastfeeding, once baby was eating solids, at what point did you reduce from 500 to 300 breastfeeding calories? How often was baby eating solids & how much of a reduction in nursing before you made this change? At this point A is only eating solids once a day, mid-day & it hasn't really changed her…

Thoughts on flu shot?
I actually hadn't though about this until Miles's appointment today. She asked if I wanted to give it to him and I am unsure. I haven't done much research. Generally I'm kind of against those shots, I never get them. Just wanting other mommma's thoughts and opinions.

Fragmin
Any other girls out there having to take the daily injections to prevent DVT? Do you remember to take it on time? Have you noticed any side effects? A metallic/copper like taste in your mouth? Bruising? I was told I needed it due to my age, parity and BMI and the discussion about it at the hospital is now all a bit of a…

Baby Number Two
Some advice from the mothers of two or more children...I have nine pounds to lose before I'm at my goal weight (I'm 5'7 & 149 lbs.). Should I reach my goal weight before I get pregnant a second time or should I just get pregnant now and lose everything afterwards?

Advise on how to deal with postpartum depression
Hi, I gave birth to my second son almost 5 months ago. I was happy, busy and losing weight with the support of MFP. 2 months ago, work started to get busy and I was starting to get stressed about all the things I need to accomplish. I stopped going on to MFP. I started emotional eating, gaining wait, and slowly feeling…

Cow's milk Alternatives
Hello all!!! My youngest baby has recently weaned, and we are trying to figure out the best options for her. For my oldest daughter, when she weaned, we went directly to cow's milk (whole). However, we've done more reading since then, and are trying to giving them foods/drinks with less hormones. We've been buying locally…

Where to start??
I had my 2nd daughter 8 weeks ago and I started working out slowing around 6 weeks. I tried T25 and found it was too much jumping around. Still working on getting my bladder/ kegals back to where it should be. Any recommendations for a workout that will break a sweat without loosing my bladder? TIA!

Does anyone...?
Does anyone actually stay in their respected calorie range on here while breastfeeding? I JUST CANT DO IT!!! I might end up eating my baby.... My little guy is coming up on 15 months and while i've lost all the baby weight, it wasn't much to start with, my doctor was psychotic about me eating well, "You don't eat for two…

Back at it
Hey ladies! For those of you who are my friends, you know that I haven't been around mfp much much less logging and working out like I should. I met a scale goal a few months back and since I'd been logging for 2 years I took a break then got lazy and our summer got crazy so i just put it off. I've also recently discovered…

EBF & Minimum Caloric Intake
I'm fairly new to MFP. I've tried it in the past but wasn't successful -- mostly because I wasn't honest about my food intake. Two weeks ago, I decided to try again after hitting a postpartum weight loss slump (need to lose 10 more lbs. to hit prepregnancy weight, had my second boy back in Feb). I guess I shouldn't be…
