I'm late to the party but I'd like to participate! CW: 180 GW: 160 July 31st: Aug 7th: 180 Aug 14th: Aug 21st: Aug 28th: Sept 5th: Sept 12th: Sept 19th: Sept 25th

I've had 2 c-sections in 2 years. I have a two year old and six month old. I've lost 30 lbs with strength training and lifting heavy 5 times a week. I'm always up for new MFP friends!

I hired a trainer to make me a program. I lift as heavy as I can, 5 days a week.

I am 5'5"

So. Bulky.

I take in between 1800-2200 calories daily but that is what was calculated for my activity level, body, and goals. The motivation part is tough- I fight with myself every day but I keep saying "what if I keep going? Imagine the rewards and how good I will feel." And so far, it has proven to be true. You can do it!

Two babies in 2 years. January to April, 30 lbs down.

I am eating a very clean diet, carb cycling and working out 5 days a week. I lift heavy and only do cardio for 30 minutes, 3 times per week. I hear it can be tough to lose weight while breastfeeding, keep at it and it will happen.

I get back on track the following meal. I also drink lots of water and try for a walk if there is time left in the day.

I started taking glutamine and BCAAs pre and post workout and most of my DOMS is gone.

Any kind of hot cereal, cilantro, wild meat, cottage cheese
