I love strength training and intervals aren't half bad either!

Bump to read later.

Chair dips. Push-ups are first and foremost a chest exercise. Yes you'll work your arms somewhat, but not nearly as much as you'd think. If you belong to a gym start lifting heavy (for you).

For now I'm a rectangle, though I suspect I'll be an hourglass (barely) again once I reduce my BF%.

Here, here! I couldn't agree more. My girls self-weaned at 19 and 20 months respectively and I'll let my son nurse as long as he likes. I'm well aware that my style of parenting isn't for everyone. I agree, the composition of the photo was designed specifically to rile people up.

Yep, this is what I do too.

No, not really. I've had mine since January and don't find it particularly useful or motivating.

^^ This!

This is what I was thinking. Lansinoh or Medela are both good picks. You might try nipple shields or "Lily Pads". You can find both in the breastfeeding section at Target.

Great show, I've watched it since the beginning when I was pregnant with my first daughter. Sam reminds me of a much taller version of my twin brother.

I totally misread the subject and thought it said "How to get enough possum". I was thinking "WTF?!...oh wait...". Anyhow, I have noticed not all nutrition labels are complete. For instance, I like the strawberry banana vivanno smoothie at Starbucks. It includes a banana, clearly. However, the nutrition information doesn't…

According to Ripptoe from "Starting Strength" you shouldn't use gloves. I think he mentions it specifically in the deadlifts chapter. Since I stopped using gloves couple of weeks ago I've found I my grip is getting better. Straps are another option, but I'd try nixing the gloves first so you can work on your grip strength.…

lol! It deserves to be said again though!

Exactly. I'm aiming for a normal, possibly athletic BF%. I'm 5'6 130 lbs with a 25.5 BF% at the moment. I look like a combination of the chubby, curvy and normal women. All my chubbiness is in my stomach, otherwise, I'm pretty normal, with a slightly curvy body shape.

Ha ha! That's what my husband always says. He really dislikes capris.

Wow, great job!

Wow, great job, congrats to you and your wife!

These flavors are tasty, but the package I got from Sam's wasn't as fresh as buying the boxes individually at Target. Plus, Target runs sales on protein powders/bars every couple of months.

Quest protein bars are delicious, but pricey and you have to order them online. I think if you go to their Web site you can get a free sample of 2 bars.

Bump for later. Thanks!

Here's the La Leche League bra. http://www.figure8maternity.com/viewItem.cfm?pid=106330

My 9 month old son is still nursing. I started exercising when he was 6 weeks old and I just wore a Nike sports bra. If he needed to nurse while I was at the gym I would just pull the band up over my breasts to nurse him. It worked well enough and didn't stretch out the sports bra. Those things have so much elastic in them…

Greek yogurt with pineapple is super tasty too.

Frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or a mix of them) slightly defrosted. A splash of half and half on the berries and a few semi-sweet chocolate chips. Delicious!

Bump for later. Thank you!

lol, too funny!

Great post, thanks!

I just ordered New Balance Minimus running shoes with Vibram soles for lifting.

Actually, you can highlight and make notes in the Kindle.
