  • Love that you were able to find the same dress! It makes the comparison pictures that much more awesome! You look great! Keep up the hard work :-)
  • Ugh, I'm not looking forward to that feeling. We had #2 in August. And there is no way (God willing) she is our last. I think I will have to mentally prepare myself before having my last. Children are such a beautiful thing. There are definitely difficult times with a toddler and a baby (#1 is 2.5yrs), but the smiles and…
  • April Check-In Pre Preg: 154 Weight around birth: 186 (August23, 2013) Couple weeks after: 166 (9lb baby) Decided to get my butt in gear when I saw the scale at 168 Initial weigh in - 168 Week 1- 163.8 (November) Week 2- 161.4 March 7, 2014 - 157.8 - Started exercising this week.(+6months post partum) April 10, 2014 -…
  • I used to be your same way with sweets! Love them! I started to make changes to what I allowed myself to eat during the week and instead of crackers for a snack (oh, I love cheez-it's) I started eating carrots and hummus and I actually really like it. I also snack on beef jerky and greek yogurt. I found that protein really…
  • Hi, Mother of two here (2.5yrs and 7months) and not an expert by any means. I'm currently breastfeeding our daughter who is 7months and we introduced some solids (puree's) around 6months. We skipped cereal with both kids, because from what I've read and what our Pedi said, they provide little nutritional value. But with…
  • Morning, It is a struggle finding the time! I agree. Luckily I have an hour lunch break and I use that time to workout. I go on walks or utilize the nearby gym. I don't know how I would do it if I didn't have that long lunch break. Good luck!
  • *Shoot, this was supposed to have the quote from the bf question above... I'm breastfeeding, and these are some of the things I'll eat in a day... or switch one snack for the other etc.. Greek Yogurt (Light&Fit) CLIF Bar Beef sticks/beef jerky Carrots, celery and hummus FiberOne Bars Lettuce with either lunch meat,…
  • Great job!!
  • If there is still room, I would like to join too :-)
  • My last check-in was in November... and the scale hasn't moved much since then. Christmas cookies got the best of me. Not to mention the KitchenAid Mixer I got for Christmas has me making deliciousness all the time (and nibbling while I bake). So, I'm trying not to bake as much and I started working out again. Pre Preg:…
  • We used a mesh/breathable bumper for both kids. They are widely available and have seen them at Target, Walmart and Babies R Us. In regards to the blankets, we used Halo Sleep Sacks for both kids as well. I love them!! They provide warmth without the worry of loose blankets. We actually got one from the hospital after I…
  • I love having a CLIF bar for breakfast. The protein keeps me fuller, longer... I know there are better options out there, but the Clif bar is what works for me, it's easy, portable and delicious! My supply has been doing well too. My baby is 6months now :-) Good luck! PS> I hate pumping too!
  • It's still a work in progress. I had my son 2.5yrs ago and hung on to 10lb's from that pregnancy and so I was starting 10lb's over with my second pregnancy. I gained about 40lbs with my 2nd and have lost 30 of it. She was a 9lb baby though. I haven't started working out yet, but I'm hopeful I will get the motivation to do…
  • Our daughter is 3month! This is our second child, we have a 2yr old too. I'm 5'0 and starting weight for the 2nd baby was 154 (10lbs higher than the starting weight with the first child). Pre Preg: 154 Weight around birth: 186 Couple weeks after: 166 (9lb baby) Decided to get my butt in gear when I saw the scale at 168…
