Yeah, I'll definitely have to try these!

I have a BodyMedia Fit and it also logs steps. It seems I only reach 10,000 steps on days I do cardio, otherwise I end up short. Since the BMF calculates my calorie burn I count everything I do as exercise!

I've been looking for something too..Good info!

interesting

I feel like I'm in the same boat as you, so I'll be interested to see what others have to say.

I swear by Bettern' PB Chocolate. To me, it tastes delicious! I like it a little sweeter so I add 1 tsp of agave nectar. Still if you have two tablespoons its only 100 calories, 4 grams of protein and 2 grams of sugar (w/o agave). I feel like I'm eating chocolate frosting out of a can!

Thanks for the suggestions. In response to diet, I feel like I eat about 80% healthy and 20% whatever I want (but my diary is open if anyone wants to critique). I guess I am mainly looking for women who have successfully been through cutting their bodyfat down and how they were able to accomplish it. Since it was…

I was sure this was going to come up. It's not that I think I am fat, it is that I am trying to decrease my bodyfat percentage and I'm not sure if I'm going about it in the right way..

Feeling impatient...any ideas?

I am trying to get muscular and defined and will have a loooong road ahead of me in that regard since I have so little muscle, but I know one day I will get where I want to be and when I do my husband will have to just suck it up. Lol, he sounds pretty much like you described in his preferences but I just wonder if he's…

Wow, everyone looks ahhhmazing!

Whoa! You seriously just inspired me!! I'm trying to gain muscle and will probably have another baby in a year or so and I hope I can look like you next time around!!! Wowza.

Anyone??

bump. Some really great transformations!

Thanks everyone! I wasn't even aware it could project your calories; that's so awesome!!!

Holy Moly, that is a big difference! You are looking great!!!

I'm 5'8" and weigh about 120lbs, but I am really lacking in muscle! My goal is to lose the mommy lower belly and gain some serious muscle over time.

bump! someone has to know!

@Cathy Thanks! I didn't know there was a group! Awesome @Robin Its a weight lifting program consisting of squats, bench press, overhead press, barbell rows, and deadlifts. Trying to gain strength and I heard compound weights really help.

No women doing this?

I actually really wanted to do placenta encapsulation when I gave birth to my son, mainly to prevent post pardum depression but my hospital would not allow it. Next time, it will definitely be something I clear with my hospital or birthing center, b/c I really think it would help, but I am more into natural and holistic…

I suffered from pretty low milk supply (unrelated to weight), but if you are thinking about supplements to increase your milk supply the only thing that really worked for me was More Milk Plus by Motherlove. I noticed a difference in supply in about 1-2 days and if I didn't take the pills consistently then I knew!

Nice! You look amazing; great job!

I'm not sure how old you are, but I consider myself young :). I'm 25 and have an 18 month old little boy. I am mainly using MFP as a place for support, especially in weight lifting and building muscle. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

Almost every night I have a serving of Bettern' PB Chocolate with a 1/2 teaspoon of agave. To me, it tastes like eating chocolate frosting on a spoon!!! I have a major sweet tooth....

Bump; No help to you, but I feel the exact same way, so I'd like to hear what everyone else says.

@emnjjsmom Well that's good to hear about the labor part; I had a non-medicated birth, but it felt very close to death ;) (hopefully there's no non-moms reading that)! I thought I was in good shape the 1st time, but I am already way more fit now than I was about 1.5 years ago when I had my first child.

I've never used PB2 b/c I can't buy it at any nearby stores but I have tried Bettern Peanut Butter Chocolate and I am OBSESSED with it. I have to limit myself b/c I already go through a jar a week! My favorite is two tablespoons of it with one tsp of agave nectar for dessert. YUM! To me it's like eating chocolate frosting;…
