Awww, this group is such a great idea & I'm glad to be a part of it :) I don't remember the exact reason for joining MFP but I've been unhappy with my body for a LONG time. Here's to all getting healthy together!

Amanda, I have to agree with the other women that he is going through a growth spurt.. they can be really frustrating, but it will be over before you know it. Sheri, I feel ya, I was so busy on Friday that I completely forgot to pump until late afternoon! Not good! In other news, I am dropping weight like crazy since I've…

that really stinks, i know how you feel about leaving her though, i wish i could say it gets easier but it hasn't for me yet :( It was about 2 1/2 weeks in newborn stuff for me, & I didn't even get her into every outfit I had in newborn, luckily they were all hand me downs from her big sister so I didn't waste money on…

i would definitely be interested! my closet full of size 16 clothes are getting roomy :)

Thanks so much for the support, I can't tell you how much I have come to love coming on this website to catch up with you all :) I'm planning a trip to my parent's house over the holiday weekend so I'll just have to hang on until then! Must be some sort of fussy newborn thing going around because Hayley has also been EXTRA…

ohh i did that one for the first time the other day! you know you're a mom when... you hold out your hands to catch vomit!

I need to vent! I was doing AWESOME, at least I thought I was, but I guess I was over-doing it. I am physically & mentally exhausted. I'm physically exhausted because I'm not getting enough sleep and I'm not able to eat right (dinner time is so hectic every night that I basically just eat whatever leftovers my daughter…

I'm so sorry about the situation you have been put in! I know how you feel, I'm only bad to work twice a week since I work from home the other days and I still hate leaving her those 2 days. I would suggest pumping just before she eats because she will always be able to get out more than the pump & she will always be able…

I'm doing c25k also & I love it so far! I feel like it gives me motivation because I want to stick to the schedule & I also feel better after doing the intervals than the regular running I was doing. Good luck with it!

I love babywearing! I never did it with my older daughter, Brielle, and I can't believe I missed it! I wear Hayley around the house all the time & for walks. I'm really looking forward to our first hike.

I'm just finishing up week 2 of this program & I'm loving it so far, glad to find you guys! I'm registered for a 5K on July 9th, do you have your runs scheduled already?

HAPPY MONDAY! How is everyone doing with their weightloss? Let's start the monday weigh-ins! I'm down to 206, which is great for me because my pre-pregnancy weight was 222. My motivation keeping me going right now is to get under 200! Let's also make MAY GOALS this month! It can be anything from eating more vegetables, to…

P.S. HAPPY SPRING! Aren't you just LOVING this weather??? OK, I'm done posting for a little while :)

Happy Friday everyone :) I have been totally neglecting you all even though I have still been managing to log my food. My daughter brought home something really nasty from daycare about 2 weeks ago and we are just now getting over it! Hayley is still very stuffy but I haven't taken her to the doctor, I have just been…

Ugh, I know how you both feel & I'm sure we aren't alone in that but I wish people would just keep their mouths shut! Seriously.. don't they realize what an emotional mess we are right now??? I have been having the same problem with Hayley. I am totally not used to it because Brielle barely ever spit up. The first time…

I would try vitamin B12 first before any of that. It's definitely the cheapest option & probably the healthiest also. Not that I'm an expert or anything, just putting in my two sense.. that's what I use to keep myself from falling asleep cause I'm in the same situation (minus one kid & plus full time job) :P

With my older daughter I pumped a lot all day long. I actually got to the point where she would only eat on one side & I would pump the other side every single time she ate. I had to go back to work right away so it was nice that I had so much milk (especially since I lost my supply when she was 5 months old and I was able…

Welcome! We don't have anything set yet since the group is still new and most of us are still in recovery so we can't do much yet. I think most of us want to do a weekly weigh-in for sure! Don't be so hard on yourself, it's going to take time & you are doing GREAT :)

Take a warm shower or bath & let the warm water run over them - if you need to massage them a little bit. It always works for me when I'm engorged (it all just leaks out) :P

I had such a rough weekend :( Both my babies caught some kind of a stomach bug (my older one probably brought it home from daycare). They were both miserable & not eating or sleeping well all weekend. I'm really hoping that they get back to feeling better & that I don't catch whatever they had because the last thing I need…

Welcmoe to the group! You don't need WW, you have us now :) What kind of band do you have? CONGRATS Megan! She is adorable! Welcome! Wow, I'm really surprised to hear that you lost weight after stopping breastfeeding, I've never heard that before but great job! We are all here to motivate each other :) 1) Go to…

I have almost made it through my first day back at work only 2 weeks after Hayley is born - one more hour to go! I went home on my lunch break since I live so close to nurse Hayley and spend some time with her but I'm still missing her like crazy. Since I've been taking care of her alone since she has been born, I've…

I am still really bad with candy & chocolate of all kinds. I try so hard not to buy it because if it's not around the house then I stand a chance at not eating it, but once I buy a box or bag of something it is usually gone in a matter of hours... How do you all stay away from the bad things you crave?

My older daughter was more of a natural when it came to breastfeeding so I'm having a more difficult time this time around. I'm thankful that I was able to pump enough to leave her since I had to start work today 2 weeks post :( I'm definitely feeling the stress of it more this time around so I'm trying really hard not to…

No way! Why do you think that? I am staying with my parents for one more day (tomorrow) and then I go back home to be alone & I'm so scared! I won't have those extra hands around when both girls need me at the same time. At the same time, I can't wait to get back home to get things back to normal & start to figure out some…

I have 2 daughters, a 1 1/2 year old and a 2 week old, same thing - trying to lose the baby weight (& a lil mama weight too :P)

Katrina - I definitely know how you feel. I've suffered with depression & PPD for awhile now so sometimes I think the same thing... am I just doing this to myself? I'm sure we will get through it, just gotta keep our heads up & mind focused on what is important! God never gives us more than we can handle :) Degaprincess -…

Hayley goes to sleep at 10pm, wakes up at 12 to eat & goes right back to sleep till 2am when she wakes up and stays awake. I can't get her to sleep until 6am & then she sleeps from 6am-10am! Her long sleep starts right when my older daughter wakes up :( So the only broken "sleep" I've been getting since she has been born…

I'm having a really rough time with bad snacking. I am in NJ staying with my parents & they have all sorts of junk food & it's too tempting! I'm eating pretty healthy besides the snacks since my mom has been cooking most of the time but I'm so mad at myself because I keep eating the candy, cookies, & ice cream!! I want to…

I'm sorry to hear that some of your older ones are acting out. The one good thing about my situation right now is that my daughter is doing AMAZING with her new little sister. I'm amazed that she has been so great, giving her loads of hugs/kisses, helping change her diaper, and dressing her. My older daughter (Brielle)…
