  • thanks LJ, I was looking for a group to join!
  • Hi, I've been at the same weight for the past 2 years - about 10 pounds off my goal weight. I'll lose a few pounds stop tracking and then gain it back. I recently rejoined a crossfit gym and plan to be consistent with my tracking. When I was in my early twenties I was in great shape with a weight of 128 and bf% 17. Now,…
  • I'm in the same boat. I'm 5'5 and 135 and have been this weight for the past 3 years. I'll lose a lb or 2 but then life gets too busy and I stop tracking and gain it back. I'm going to try to stick with it this summer though. Just started crossfit again after 3 year hiatus. Looking for friends that eat real food and not…
  • I just joined fym (I got the kettlebell workout and it included a free month so I thought I'd check it out). Still trying to navigate the site though. I have the same user name on both sites. feel free to friend me
  • Hi, I have 7mo b/g twins and an almost 3 year old daughter. I am 10 lbs below my prepreg weight mostly by exercising and breastfeeding. I've recently up'd my calories because my supply dropped and I've had to start supplementing. I am happy with my weight right now though I am still carrying some extra fat around my middle…
  • Calories, carbs, fat, protein - Does not include adobo pepper (I didn't have a can of those on hand) - I put down the recipe serves 4. Total: 1070 147 49 27 Per Serving: 268 37 12 7 Pretty good - I ate it over sauteed spinach and added some extra avocado to mine for lunch. Would have been better with the pepper I think...…
  • How are you logging your breastfeeding? I wasn't losing for a while when I was adding back both my nursing calories and eating my exercise calories. I changed my settings to maintain instead of lose and stopped adding nursing calories. I eat most of my exercise calories. I rarely feel deprived and I always eat when I am…
  • I think that is really common - I'm 4.5 months out and still with sugar cravings above prepreg. I think it helpful to have health snacks available that satisfy those craving - I made "lactation cookies" with oatmeal, flax seed flour, whole wheat flour, lots of nuts and dried fruit, and a lot of chocolate chips. You can…

  • I was not a runner (i still am not a huge fan) and i started right around 5 or 6 weeks pp. It felt great to get on the treadmill and move. I really felt it worked my abs without straining them just to be up and moving. I just couldn't stand not being active. Now I like running short periods (less than 20m) on the treadmill…
  • I'm now 3.5 mo out and pretty much back to my nl exercises. I don't do a lot of lifting and I lost a lot of muscle during my pregnancy but I am working back up. I really like total body moves so any suggestions would be well received. Right now I am working on dumbbell turkish get ups (would like to work up to a kettlebell…
  • I think this varies a lot person to person. I had twins 3.5 months ago and I'm down number-wise to my prepreg weight but my belly is still a little bigger and I have loose skin. I've read that the skin will slowly shrink but it may take years or never completely get tight. Right now if I am standing up the extra skin…
  • started level 3 today. I'm not a big fan of pylometrics but otherwise it was okay. I did have to stop in the middle to nurse a screaming baby though. I'm going to try to be more consistent the next 10 days but my maternity leave ends on Saturday so I will have even less time.
  • Like a lot of others I have been less than diligent in completing my daily work outs and I took a break from counting calories as well. I still recorded my measurements but I don't think there is any significant changes attributable to 30ds. I'm still planning on starting level 3 today (hopefully). My maternity leave ends…
  • I really don't like the side lunge with anterior raises - I find it does something wonky with my knees. I haven't found a good alternative move though. I use an actual jump rope with the jump rope exercise. I find it a lot more challenging that way(and I feel less silly)
  • I am nursing my 2.5 month old twins exclusively and trying to get back into shape. I give myself an extra 800 hundred calories (if you search for breastfeeding under food you can add it for negative calories each day) and I also eat back most of my exercise calories. I've only been tracking 2 weeks and I find having a food…
  • I'm doing my 20min run tomorrow and I'm a little nervous. I am using the modified schedule of the ease to 5k app so my last run was 2 9 minute runs and it was tough. For those of you who run on the treadmill - do you work on an incline? I haven't been but my husband just told me that I should be setting the incline at 1.5…
    in Week 5 Comment by dsb76 January 2012
  • I'm in - I expect to get shred from amazon tomorrow. I already took my before picture. Hoping to lose the baby belly.
  • How many weeks are you post surgery? I waited until about 5 weeks to start any exercise other than walking (and got an official okay from my doc). I started back with yoga and the C25K and then added planks at about week 6. I was told to wait a "few" months to do ab work but it really didn't seem very exact (and planks…
  • Hi - I have 2 mo twins and a 2.5 year old. Trying to get back in shape. I'm nursing as well and always so hungry - especially for carbs. Feel free to friend me!
  • Hi - I had twins in November and I am trying to get back into shape after 7 months of inactivity. I am nursing as well and chasing around a 2 year old. I have about 15-20 lbs to lose to get to my ideal weight but I mostly want to get toned again and have a presentable middle! Hope it is okay to friend you!

  • If you search foods "breastfeeding twins" you can log it daily and it will take off 800 calories. I'm nursing my 2 month old twins and that's what I do.
