Don't give you baby a bottle and research how to pump up your supply. I know it's hard, but don't try to diet too hard while you're still breastfeeding- you really do need to eat the extra calories. It's better to focus more on exercising when you can and building your strength back up.

According to that chart, I must live in a very very low cost area because, even spending liberally, I could spend *maybe* $100 a week on myself, my husband, and our son (who is almost a year old). And while it's not Whole Foods, the majority of our produce comes from the organic section. It's usually around $50 a week when…

Absolutely!

The best way to eat cheap is by buying bulk rice and dried beans and seasoning them to suit your taste. Brown rice is better for you and soaking it makes it even healthier, so soak both of them the night before. It's got plenty of protein. We recently started making our own yogurt in our crockpot. Heat one gallon of milk…

Which fitbit were you using? And congrats, your progress is impressive and inspiring.

Get the Pact app. If you don't log all three meals, you have to (literally) pay for it. It's cruel to your wallet sometimes, but it does the job well.

You can add them as cardio by estimating the amount of time you actually exercised. It's listed as "calisthenics," with different levels of effort.

I've noticed that yoga pants aren't designed for women who have a decently large butt (like myself) and there's nothing we can do about the whole bending-over-turns-it-see-through thing unless we go up enough sizes until they fall off. So I don't wear them out of the house (unless I'm traveling). I am, however, very guilty…

There's a Wii game series called Just Dance. It's super fun and it's an excellent workout. It would be an easy way to spend time with your family but still be active... and at home!

Yay! I'm at ten weeks now.... and in exactly the same boat as you (As of this morning, approx. 20lbs overweight)! Well, except I lost about five pounds from when we found out because I couldn't keep any food down, which was a slight concern, but I was told it was normal and was put on some anti-nausea medication. What was…

You ought to meet with a dietician. Only they will be able to give you a REAL answer to this question that isn't mostly spectulation. The truth could go either way- both sides have logical reasons for their answers.

Stove-popped ladyfinger popcorn; you can add whatever seasonings you want and the kernels are smaller so you feel like you're eating more. or An apple with yogurt for a dip

LOL

You're my hero! Partially because you look AMAZING and partially because Sam and Dean are your ticker! Where was this picture taken?

there's always a middle ground somewhere, you just have to look for it. the (positive) nutritional value of the yolk is indisputable- vitamins, proein, and good fats (yes, fat CAN be good), so i always look at what else im eating for breakfast (just an egg is not enough usually). if im only eating a scrambled egg, i leave…

I always turn down nicely... I also usually get really red-faced and cutembarassed. My favorite proposal from a jerk was when I was engaged and I was told I wasn't treated well enough because my ring doesn't have a giant diamond in it. My rings were custom made for me (we designed it together with the jeweller) and I…

Starting now! I don't know my weight (no scale- it's not working) but I'm in! I need to loose as much weight as I can because my wedding is Oct. 13 and this will keep me going!

He doesn't care what I weigh so much as how I feel about how I weigh and look. So when I'm slacking in the skinny body motivation, he lets me know- not to be a jerk, but because if I let myself go too much I'm going to regret it and he's looking out for me.

Here's the thing: the world should've ended about a year and a half ago. The Mayan calendar didn't account for leap years and the calendar we use does. However, if the apocalypse does happen, chances are, I will be in the billions that die so hopefully I'll at least be with my family that day or the day before since it's…

Just because you're not 25 doesn't mean you can't be sexy! My grandmother is older than you and she's still got it!

I know how you feel; I've had a love-hate relationship with counting calories- for a weekend, I'll slip and eat whatever I want and gain back everything I lost. But, it's time for that to change. You and me, we're going to get motivated. I did 50 minutes of exericise so far today, and I'm going to do the same tomorrow, no…

I never eat like a king. I just eat like a prince for all three meals and snack like a beggar. That way, my calories are even spread throughought the day.
