  • Her comments are about the fact that you and your SIL married her sons, even though she's (thinly) disguising them as size and weight focused. What does your husband say about this? Especially since you 1) just had a baby and 2) have a history of ED?[/quote] Thanks to everyone who has replied--I really appreciate the…
  • yes, size 27/28 (waist size) jeans.
  • I appreciate the replies. To answer your questions: I was 27 with first child; 37 with the second. Yes, I am breastfeeding. Still trying to do it exclusively--I exclusively pumped for ten weeks while working with lactation consultant. Still working on it but we've needed to supplement. No period yet. Birth control is…
  • You look great! Congrats on your weight loss. I'm just under 5'9" and currently weigh about 160. I am still nursing (3 months postpartum) and I'm pretty muscular so I can't really tell what size I am at the moment. I think a good deal of that weight is in my breasts from nursing. My size 28/29 pre-pregnancy jeans fit…
  • Plantar wart. I've had several. Whatever you do, try to get an appointment with a dermatologist to treat it as soon as you can. I ended up seeing a nurse practitioner to avoid the long wait to see the specialist. As someone else mentioned, I found that OTC treatments didn't work and it resulted in giving the wart grow…
  • I love my Garmin fenix 5s. It's pricey but worth every penny--I bought it when I replaced my fourth Fitbit that went bust. I wear it every day (it's an attractive watch) and it tracks all sorts of activities. I'm a long distance runner and I crosstrain with indoor cycling.
  • I was on it for years and didn't experience any weight gain.
  • what about seamless no-wire nursing bras used to sleep in?
  • I suggest preparing and then freezing meals. Not sure what your household situation is like, but I am the only vegetarian in my home so it's convenient for me to have freezer-ready meals on hand for when company comes, etc. Since I'm the sole cook in the house, I'm slowly trying to bring my husband and son over to the dark…
  • I am a mom to a ten-year-old boy and I'm expecting my second at the end of August. Can't wait to get the baby weight off!
  • I bought the Steel HR watch about a month ago. I noticed that there have been issues syncing with MFP after the Nokia conversion. Perhaps this is affecting the scale too?
  • I can answer for Panache brand. All I can say is I love this bra and after years of struggling to find a supportive sports bra for my size, I can't say enough good things about it--I swear I don't work for the company :smile: 1-it's not padded per se, but the cups are made up of microfiber material that encapsulates each…
  • I recently got rid of my fitbit charge HR because I had to replace three of them. I also wanted a fitness watch that looked like a watch and not a clunky piece of rubber on my wrist. I purchased a Withings (now Nokia) Steel HR. I'm still getting used to the app (and they recently changed it because they were purchased by…
  • We bought ours last July. I absolutely love it. Send me your username and I'll add you.
  • Just FYI, I believe Panache runs up to a 32J (Which is actually larger than a US size J).
  • My favorite is Panache. They're expensive but worth the money--I'm a long distance runner and normally wear a 32G. They're UK-sized so I would buy a 32F.
  • You're one of the lucky ones then. I also nursed on demand for a year. My son never had a drop formula. If I didn't eat back my breastfeeding calories my supply diminished. You happen to be one of the lucky moms who can nurse and lose weight without compromising their supply. Some of us are not so fortunate and struggle to…
  • Just curious, do you have experience nursing? I don't mean for this to sound confrontational--it's an honest question. The notion that women lose their baby weight from nursing works in theory and some (lucky) women are quite successful at maintaining a steady loss without losing their supply. I was never able to achieve…
  • I wear a similar size (32H), OP. I'm 5'8" and hourglass shaped. While I haven't been overweight, I can say that my breast size has remained fairly consistent (to my dismay) despite the times when I've been very (unhealthily) slim for my build. I'm guessing that in my case I happen to have more breast tissue than fat which…
  • It really depends on your size and needs. I have a fairly small ribcage with large breasts (size 32G). I have found that Panache (the underwire variety) is the only bra that really fits me and provides support for running and high impact exercise. They are pricy but worth it. I also recently found a product called bu-band,…
  • I like mixing any of the following--quinoa, couscous, or Israeli couscous--with various types of veggies. I roast a large batch of vegetables on Sunday so that I can prepare easy lunches for most of the week. Depending on the flavor profile, I also add various fixings, such as cranberries, dried cherries, nuts, seeds,…
