PP has some good ideas. Make a list of your top 5 attributes (physical and or characteristics) and stick it to the mirror where you will read it every am and pm.

ya I live in canada, so I don't pay (well I do on my taxes!) I never had issues with irregularity before having kids, I think somewhere between the pregnancies, miscarriages, breastfeeding, and horomonal birth control my body got totally f*cked up! And can't quite sort itself out...

come join our lose pounds by july group, we need more active people :)

bah my doctor isn't very insightful about menstrual issues. I went to see him last fall after bleeding for the better part of three months, and he suggested 1) wait it out, 2) go back on birth control, 3) try progesterone to hopefully "reset" my cycle. My feeling is that he would say the same thing about thiis.

hehe I've noticed some pimples on my chest (between my breasts) Since starting exercising, I'm thinking likely the sweat causes it.

I don't think I'm pregnant if I haven't ovulated in over 2 months lol

Hi there and welcome! My partner has a physical disability. It's about finding what works for you. Little bits of exercise are better than nothing, and will help you build up to bigger and different things. I know for my spouse he does lots of upper body. And has had some adaptations for him (ie: wrist hooks). Perhaps you…

thank you so much!

what an interesting topic, it's amazing to see how much it varies by where you live and what kind of food you eat! We live in Central Canada (Praries), and spend about $600/ month on food. This does include cleaning supplies and diapers for our 20 month old. There is 2 adults a 4 year old and a 20 month old in our…

somedays (especially weekends) I struggle with this more than others. I find a water bottle helps, something sippy lol. Also will use crystal light (or similar mix) once a day (usually at lunch) I drink two cups of herbal tea in the morning (so that's 3 already). There's some great suggestions for adding things, another…

I have a beachbody set (power 90 I think) anyways it's got a great 5 minute ab ripper that I do often 10 exercises, 10 reps = 100 :)

skinny jeans!!

I actually like it just plain, but sometimes mix it up, there's lots of good suggestions on here. One more to add, mix it with salsa and eat it as is or with chips (healthier choice of chips or pretzels)

I was looking for something like this :)

I'm a little further along in the program, just started week 3, I didn't find week 1 or 2 awful, but definately a good workout. Week three is a bit more challenging IMO however :)

sabrina, I would highly recommend taking a course, or doing a formal learning about this. I have heard that the book taking charge of your fertility is also very helpful.

lmao this is hilarious!! I'm another Canadian (I'm guessing most of you are american??) feel pretty safe, but will re-consider. Not likely to get a gun though as I don't believe in them in the household, but possibly pepper spray or something...

we took a course when DD1 was 6 months old after LAM finished. We have used it on and off since then. Have used BC when advised by DR not to get pg, or when bfing due to unpredictability. Now i've been off BC for 7 months and still can't get a regular cycle. Hopefully soon as NFP will be much easier then! ETA that would…

are you drinking enough water?

subbing

you look fabulous! The difference is totally obvious! We are our own worst critics. Keep up the good work! I'm sure your next progress pics will be an even better comparison :)

Hello everyone, I have been lucky enough to have 2 beautiful daughter already (ages 4yrs and 20 months) and sadly like some of you have had the misfortune of miscarriage (2 angel babies). One of the many reasons I am losing weight is DH and I are hoping to Try To Concieve #3 in the fall (sept/ oct). I'm hoping to hit my…

I actually read somewhere that sometimes breaking it up is better because it raises your metabolism more times in a day. ANyways I don't think there's anything wrong with logging it that way, you don't really have any choice :) and even if I do 2 exercises at two different times it adds it together for my daily/ weekly…

I am giving up stuff, as part of de-cluttering, I want to get rid of 1 un-needed, or un-used, or un-loved object per day.

Thanks for the comments, I don't have a HRM. How much do they generally cost? I have just been using the grippy handles on the machines. On the elliptical I input my data, but couldnt' on the treadmill, it was an older version.

I'm another one. Although it isn't a primary reason for weightloss, it's definately in my mind. DH and I want to start trying in the fall (sept/ oct) for #3 and I hope to be at my goal weight before then :)

I agree NFP is a great way to go (but it's MUCH easier if you have a regular cycle and may take awhile post- birth control). I went off the pill in August of last year, and stopped nursing the same month. My body went pretty crazy! I bled almost non-stop for 3 months! Now my cycles are still irregular 6 months later! Makes…

very nice! You look amazing! I bet you feel great!

made it today, it was fabulous! Hubby and both kids (ages 4 and 19months) couldn't get enough! :)

great progress! Keep up the good work!!
