Yes, that is completely stupid and irresponsible of you. I can't believe anyone would put themselves ahead of the health and well being of their baby.

Thanks for the great info!

When you guys refer to "lifting weights" do you mean free weights or the machines? I used to do free weights but then I hired a trainer about a month ago and she just put me on all of the machines.

I used to do free weights on my own but then decided to hire a trainer. She's the one that got me into the machines and that's all we've been doing for the past month. Should I ask her to switch to free weights?

What's considered "heavy" lifting? I just started weight training using the machines at the gym. I'm starting off at about 15-25 lbs for arm type of machines and about 150 lbs for the quads. What should I strive for?

It's frustrating when people tell you you're normal and you want to lose weight. Here's a sample meal plan my trainer put me on. It's around 1200 cals but I'm full all the time. I have to eat 6X a day. 8 AM - 2 boiled eggs, 2 egg whites 10 - nonfat yogurt with 1/4 cup oatmeal 11 - 3oz chicken, unlimited fresh vegis, 4oz…

How long has it been since you had the baby? I talked to my doctor and she said it was fine to start exercising 6 weeks after but not diet. If you lose weight, your body produces some type of acid, which is transferred to your breastmilk and isn't good for the baby. I'd be healthy about it. I was on about 1800 cals a day…

I'm 5'2 and weigh 140. My goal weight is 115-120 range. Feel free to add me. I need extra motivation from people who are in the same range as me.

Can we turn this into a group?

How do I join?

I'm a new mom. I was a little heavy when I got pregnant with my 1st and ballooned up to 167lbs and I'm only 5'2. I got down to 135 breastfeeding but now I'm back to 145. I gained 8lbs in my first trimester with my second pregnancy but just lost the baby. Now I'm determined to get healthy before we try again. Please help me…

I'm 5'2 and 145 lbs. I just had a misscarriage and gained 8lbs in the first trimester. I need to get this weight off before I start trying again. My goal is 125 lbs. Feel free to add me. Let's keep each other motivated!
