  • Well, you can't "target" areas or whatever, blah blah blah... but I have been working on my back boobs, heh. I do lat pulldowns, dumbbell rows, etc. Just look up back exercises, and add them to your lifting routine (assuming you lift, and if you don't, you should!)
  • Passion Pit! YES! I listened to "Take a Walk" during my warm up today. There's also Metric. And I like Dead Sara if you want some rock-type stuff.
  • I love Matt and Kim! I love their songs "Camera" and "Day Light" as well. I also like Grouplove! "Tongue Tied", "Colors", "Naked Kids"
  • When I got pregnant with my first, I weighed 250 lbs, so I was obviously already eating way over what I should. it is uncomfortable to be that heavy and pregnant, so with the help of a nutritionist, I managed to not gain, but I didn't lose either... so obviously I lost some to make up the difference, lol. That was the…
  • I hated the Mirena. Haaaaate. I constantly felt pregnant, I gained lots of weight on it, my moods were awful, and I had zero sex drive. The only positive was that my periods disappeared. I was on loestrin, and it sucked too. I am one of those that just can't handle the hormones, I guess :/ I hope you find something that…
  • Maybe add yoga? It doesn't burn a ton of calories, and it isn't super taxing on your body, but you are still doing something to feel active.
  • You might look into New Rules of Lifting For Women (the older edition, not the newer one). It has some great routines in there, and back during my much thinner days, lol, it really helped a lot. I didn't follow the meal plan, but I did everything else. There is also a website called: http://www.stumptuous.com She has some…
  • I have struggled with my weight for years, and I have hypothyroidism. I am sure you can lose without medication, but it will be very slow and very difficult. At my worst, my quality of life was effected. I slept like crap, I was irritable, hungry all the time, headaches.. It was bad. A simple blood test will give you the…
  • We have them in Oklahoma also. Amaaaaaaazing!

  • Muse - "Supremacy" Lots of Foo Fighters, especially "Walk" and "Rope" off their latest album Metric is an excellent band, the singer is gorgeous and I picture her amazing legs when I am working out. From them I like "Help I'm Alive" "Breathing Underwater" "Sick Muse" and "Stadium Love". Dead Sara is also really good. She…
  • Love my bodymedia. My only complaint is that I sometimes have issues with the Bluetooth, but once I get home and sync it on the computer, I can tell it is still working. I have had it about two weeks now.
  • Mine is going to seem boring in comparison, but for me it was a Reuben sandwich. I had been dreaming about it for weeks!
  • I always prided myself on being "healthy fat." My blood work always came back picture perfect, except I have PCOS. but to me the ones that "mattered" - blood sugar, cholesterol, etc was all fine. So I just... ignored the fact I was fat and wrote it off as PCOS and I wouldn't be able to lose weight. Then at the beginning of…
  • Mat and Kim - "Daylight" Muse - "Supremacy" Dead Sara - "Lemon Scent" Dead Sara - "Weatherman" Foo Fighters - "Walk" Foo Fighters - "Rope" Grouplove - "Naked Kids" Grouplove - "TomgueTied" Metric - "Breathing Under Water" Metric - "Youth Without Youth" Metric - "Help I'm Alive" Those are on heavy rotation right now for me.
  • With my first, I just incorporated him into my workouts. I put him in a snug carrier and did squats and lunges. We went for lots of walks. During his tummy time or floor time on a playmat, I would get down on the floor and do some floor exercises. It is when they get super mobile that that stuff gets harder, lol. I lost…
  • This. No thinking required on my part! I love my BodyMedia Fit for this very reason, so I will be no help to you :(
  • I have found it lasts about as long as the expiration date on the milk I used to thin it out.
  • My free day was yesterday. I had been craving a Reuben all week, so that was my lunch. I ate cookies with the kids... When I entered it all in, I was shocked at how many calories I ate. I was ok with it though because I needed that. Stepped on the scale this morning, figuring the weight gain would motivate me (even if it…
  • I am obsessed with my bodyfit media. The treadmill was overestimating what I was doing even though I sweat like crazy. You wear it 23 hours a day. If you get the link version, you can sync up with an app on your phone to monitor your calories. I have had it since Friday and have already lost 2 pounds... I was…
