OP, you need help beyond what strangers on the Internet can feasibly provide. Please speak with your doctor, and a therapist. The healing you seek cannot be obtained by losing more weight.

Neither. A rowing machine offers a better calorie burn.

Check out Starting Strength, Stronglifts, New Rules of Lifting for Women and Strong Curves. Best wishes!

Is that a typo? 1540 seems low. What do you have your activity level set at?

Anything you were doing before prgnancy you can safely do after pregnancy (modified as needed). Just pretend you're back at square one and start your regimen. Get your doctor's advice or input regarding intensity.

In other words, "dont be dumb; don't let your calorie deficit exceed _____________."

This.

Calisthenics, home, light/ moderate effort.

Change your lifting regimen to three days a week. I think you'll be more satisfied with the results.

Thanks. I'm still working on the above. This is really helpful for knowing what to fix.

Okay, I'll try to time drinking my water 15-20 minutes before a meal. I don't have fiber listed among my macros, so I'm not sure how much fiber I'm getting. Probably not enough. How do I change that setting?

Nice graphic, but the barbie weight in the woman on the right's hand is misleading.

Bump because this thread is awesome.

What a great thread.

Strong Curves also has an at home version of its program.

I haven't done this specific workout, but you may find this helpful: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R5YNORJ49LZB5/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0042AGNB4#R5YNORJ49LZB5

Visible abs are produced by losing body fat---and your body will decide where to lose fat next. No workout will spot reduce fat; exercise is for health and strength, diet is for abs.

Thanks for the reviews. Going to look into this.

Interesting.

Good information. Thanks.

Check out Strong Curves. The book includes an at home version of the program. Best wishes.

How much weight is the leg press before you add additional weight to it?

If you are going to do kettlebells you need to master proper form to avoid injury. Google Pavel Tsatsouline for a start. Next you need someone to teach you proper form. I suggest you engage the services of someone with rkc certification. Otherwise do the at home version of strong curves.

Strong Curves has a bodyweight exercises option for those who lack a gym membership. If you are a member, do Strong Curves, New Rules of Lifting for Women, or Strong lifts 5x5.
