Goal weight: 145-150 lb Height: 5' 9" Pre-pregnancy: 147-150 lb Currently 6.5 months pp. last weigh-in (on 1/4): 149.5 lb. current weight: 146 lb A week and a half of illness has left my weight is at an all-time post-pregnancy low. I expect it to go back up to the high 140s in the next week or so.

Another wrinkle is how each woman is shaped. I think others mentioned that in this thread. Men tend to be shaped straight up and dow, whereas women are not. Also, women tend to be more concerned with finding clothing that will flatter their figures, whereas every man I know finds something and puts it on. I think it's…

There’s a good postpartum thread here. I have a 6.5 month old. I’ve lost my baby weight and then some...now if only I could get sleep. @mewickla, what’s a FTM?

Goal weight: 145-150 lb Height: 5' 9" Pre-pregnancy: 147-150 lb Currently 6 months pp. last weigh-in (on 1/4): 152.5 lb. current weight: 149.5 lb Officially hit pre-pregnancy weight!

@middlehaitch, one website that has personal stories and accounts of struggles is bddfoundation.org. For what it’s worth, I remember having symptoms as young as six. I recall my aunt crimping my hair one day and seemingly out of nowhere I peered down at the fold at the top of my arm. I was a super skinny kid, but that fold…

I hesitate to post this because it’s so personal but I’ve been diagnosed with BDD. For me, it’s much more complicated than wanting a certain shape or trait. I have an hourglass figure/curves that I absolutely hate (and friends tell me they envy), but it goes well beyond that. For me, the disorder has been very crippling.…

Yes to this! I experienced the same as this poster with my first baby (11years ago). I had gained 55 lb and I struggled to lose the weight. The weight didn’t come off until I weaned my son at one year, then bam, I lost so much in a short period that people were “worried.” With my second child (5.5 months old), the weight…

This comment is one example of why I was intimidated to try yoga until very recently. My cousin encouraged me to go with her and I felt awkward because I had just had a baby and my ligaments and flexibility were less than ideal. Thank you for making us newbies feel welcome in yoga class. In case you missed it, {sarcasm.}…

OP, how many weeks/months postpartum are you? Are you breastfeeding?

This sounds like me with my first child. I gained 55 lb. (lost 30 straight away), but I couldn't cut calories to lose the rest without risking my supply. I stressed about it and remember being frustrated (disgusted) with myself. I wish I hadn't wasted so much mental and emotional energy on it because it really didn't…

Goal weight: 145-150 lb Height: 5' 9" Pre-pregnancy: 147-150 lb Currently 5.5 months pp. last weigh-in (on 1/4): 153.5 lb. current weight: 152.5 lb So close!!

I'm sorry, but this statement is woefully inaccurate. Eating more calories than what your body requires leads to weight gain. Eating fewer calories than what your body needs leads to loss. It's called CICO. If our bodies "clung" to calories as you claim here, there'd be no starvation in the world (either in history or…

I stopped using Strava for that reason. It was either double recording or only recording half the calories burned. Do you use a fitbit? I found that when I used a fitbit I was able to share the calories burned after each ride. I upgraded to a Garmin Fenix 5S this summer (pregnancy gift to myself). It's probably not…

Came down with a stomach bug after Christmas, so I'm trying for 100 again this month. Upcoming races: March: Shake Your Shamrock 8K March: Philly LOVE Run April: Hot Chocolate 15K May: Broad Street Run

just posting. visiting with family so no time to read the thread. Damn Maritime Canada is cold!

Ran 3.5 very cold Canadian miles today. We’re in New Brunswick for the holidays. Goals for 2018: Run sub 2 hour half marathon Run first full marathon in November.

missed today...pinched nerve in my neck from nursing baby. hopefully will feel better tomorrow.

@RespectTheKitty , I also love the treadmill--love how I can zone out. I just bought a refurbished Path and I love love love it!! (Can you tell I'm excited?)

day 6 of level 1 complete!

+1 for French press. I also use an Italian coffeemaker from time to time.

@PastorVincent , that zombie video--hilarious! managed to get a quick run in this morning while baby slept :smile:

Are you breastfeeding?

thanks--my husband would describe it more as neuroticism than resolve:)
