Thank you all for your info. I've been a CC runner for over 17 years. I'm pretty sure my stride is alright, but I'll definitely pay more attention when I get back to it. I'm thinking it's mostly a combination of old shoes & starting back up way too quickly (it's been nearly a year). It's killing me not being able to just…

I have a megnesuim drink mix that I make sometimes. Sometimes it helps with cravings, others it doesn't make a dent. I've also noticed that if I don't break up the dose over the entire day, I'll have extremely and uncomfortably loose bowels...

He's 4' and weighs 46 lbs. He's always been skinny, but recently we've noticed that his ribs are pretty defined and his eyes appear sunken- which is why we took him to the doctor. They took blood and urine, also checked his blood sugar, and didn't seem to have any concerns, just suggested pediasure. It seems to be a very…

I've been exercising, also doing yoga, and I've started taking some amino acids as well as some different herbs to try and get it in check. I've come a LONG way but I'm still experiencing it from time to time. I was really just sort of curious if the calorie burn was accurate. Thanks for your info, it was very helpful!

My usual resting heart rate averages about 80.

Well I'm really glad for you that you guys have no insecurities about your bodies and that you took no offense to OP's blanket presumption. Kudos to you for being the bigger person.

If you read the thread, you'll see it's not a "ME" issue, it's "mommies without snap back bodies" issue. If you'll notice, the only people who weren't offended by what OP said are the ones whose bodies aren't totally "changed," "ruined," whatever, by having kids.

If I was happy and secure with my body, I wouldn't be on MyFitnessPal trying to change it. But for her to post such a broad statement as "don't let yourself go" and that "you WILL bounce back" before posting pictures of her fantastic 6 mos PP belly, it's insulting to those of us who DO not, in fact, bounce back. Ever. She…

Say what you like. But until you have kids and realize you weren't one of the ones blessed with a snap back body which someone else condescends you for (by implying that if you don't look fabulous and toned post-baby that you've "let yourself go") keep your mouth shut.

Says someone who has never shared her body with another human being. Sorry, I'm bitter, this I know. But, again, for those of us that DID do what they could to keep their bodies fit, it's terribly offensive for someone to blame sloth and overindulgence for the damage done. THAT is my problem with the original and…

There is nothing you can do to prevent stretch marks. It's genetics and skin elasticity. Trust me, and ALL of us who religiously rubbed oils and creams into our tummies, don't waste your money. A good (but not foolproof) way to find out if you're going to get them is to look at your mother and grandmother's post-baby…

I weighed 115 with a damn hot body and flat stomach before I had my kids. I also worked out while pregnant, and ran 10+ miles a week. Of course I ate ice cream and tacos, but I did that before I had kids too. I was up to 155lbs my last pregnancy (had excess amniotic fluid so my abdomen swelled, and cracked and peeled and…

:laugh:

Look at you!! Fantastic job!!

This, exactly. Maybe the reason this thread is blowing up this way is because the audience you're posting to is NOT sitting around eating donuts and milkshakes, letting themselves go. Personally, I'm busting *kitten* every day, sweating, pushing myself to new limits. I haven't had pasta in months. I don't eat dessert. I…

Lmao! Seriously, though.

Doesn't happen that way for everyone. Maybe if you only have one baby when you are young...? But age plays a factor. So does genetics, skin elasticity and metabolism. Number of babies counts, too. In September I had my third kid in less than 4 years. 8 months later and 40 pounds gone since my last baby was born, I still…

I'm 4'11" my CW is 115, I'm shooting for 110ish, or whenever my pre-baby pants fit again.

I had one cup of coffee this afternoon after not having caffeine in a while and my brain truned into a blender. I felt like I was on crack and could barely read or write a sentence. Maybe it was because my body hadn't readjusted yet...

It's open. And the trouble is everywhere. If I get two right, the rest are off and vice versa.

I use a heart rate monitor. That's really the only accurate way. You can just log it as circuit training-general if you don't have one.

This is by far the best thread I've read all day...:laugh:

8.8lbs, 12.1 inches

Well, this is a long shot... Any other shorties out there? Age: 25 Height: 4'11" SW: 127.8 CW: 119 GW: 112-115

Level 2 was awful. I was just telling someone earlier I thought my arms were going to break off completely at the shoulders. Level 3 was easier but killed my knees. They say you shouldn't move on unless you are ready so if you don't feel comfortable, you should definitely stay at level 1 for as long as you need.

1200-1250 calories (I'm 4'11" and 119lbs), clean foods, LOTS and LOTS of water!

You look great! Hard work definitely pays off!
