I made it to the gym this morning! It was such a struggle to get there though lol I made it there at 6:15. Getting out of my warm bed is hard, but the guilt of NOT going to the gym is even worse! Happy Friday everyone!

Also, is anyone else struggling with the fact that it is currently Girl Scout cookie season?!?! My niece is a GS, so of course I ordered them a couple months ago when she was first taking orders. Well they came in last week....and they are calling my name from the kitchen pantry lol

I'm Kate. I'm an accountant at a private college in WV; 27 years old with a 2 year old son. Recently I joined a 24-hour women's only gym close to my house. I've been TRYING to make myself a morning person and get up early to go workout before work. But that's a lot easier said than done lol I tend to get in more late night…

I think I like this method best, because you don't just burn calories from exercising. Going back and forth up and down the steps getting the family laundry sorted and put away, climbing a couple flights of stairs at work, running to the car because it's pouring the rain lol all things that will get your heart rate…

Excited to see so many teams! Let's go team 4!

Please add me too :-)

I think because it is technically set up as a group page, not a challenge page.

Oh I just saw that she posted a week 1 update - she said teams should be posted by Wednesday night

Excited to get started!!

I'm Kate, 27 years old and the mother of a 2 year old. I'm 5'5" and currently weigh 190lbs. My goal weight is 140. I haven't set myself on a time line for it. When I reach it I'll be happy with it! I finally joined a gym this week. It's 24 hours AND is women only!! That's really convenient for someone like myself who is…

I hear you on the lack of enthusiasm! I'm not a fan either! It's a necessary evil I suppose!

I have a Fitbit that monitors my heart rate (though I don't know how accurate it is) so that I could better account for my calories burnt. The dilemma I have is how in the world do I burn more calories a day than what I eat? That seems impossible lol even if I stick to a strict 1300 calorie intake, how do I even burn 1300+…

I also have 30 Day Shred! I haven't touched it in a while. I have 2 other Jillian DVDs, an ab one and I can't remember the other. Ripped in 30 maybe? I need to dust them off!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback! Sounds like I definitely need to shoot for the 1 lb a week goal to start with and focus on what I'm eating. I do get a little discouraged when I don't meet goals I think I should be able to meet, but I'll work on changing my outlook to long-term instead of short :)

Thank you ladies so much for your help and encouragement! I'm going to try and get an extra pump in during my workdays and pump at least once a day on the weekends. My period has returned again today so I expect I'll get less from each pumping. I'm trying to have a better outlook on pumping, not dreading it each time I do…

Ahhh I see, yes she feeds him sitting up right so that he has to draw the milk from the bottle, and we stick with the slowest nipple too. We learned that in a breastfeeding class I took while I was still pregnant. I worried that he may not go back and forth from breast to bottle (my sister had a terrible time with her…

Thanks!! I've been eating snacks throughout the day as well as getting plenty of water. My OB told me to eat no less than 1500-2000 calories a day to keep my supply up. He usually sleeps between 6-7 hours straight at night. He'll eat around 7 and midnight, then not wake up until 6 or so. I hadn't thought about waking…

Woohoo! My son is 7 weeks old and has been sleeping for 7 hours at night this past week. Such a relief for momma and dad! I'm looking forward to the morning I get to sleep in, as now he wakes between 530-6. Enjoy it while it lasts!

hahahah!!! We're in the same boat!

Count me in! I'm just getting back into trying to lose weight again, so I'm not too familiar with the site/groups, etc, but I'll figure it all out!
