I find that I have increased supply after I exercise. Do you hydrate while exercising and what kind of workouts do you do? (I've also read babies may not like the milk much after exercise as it could become soured. They sometimes suggest waiting at least an hour before you nurse, if your baby will let you make them wait!)

I'm a nursing mom! My daughter is 8 months old. Feel free to add me. =)

Thankfully all I had to deal with was a tiny spider that had made his web across the top of our top-loading washer. The web still made me itchy though. Yuck. Some of those videos are priceless! \o/

Why is the number such a fixture here? You're looking for inches, not pounds, I'm sure. Just buy a swimsuit that is flattering for your current body and give yourself a break.

But at least she looks cute, right? I mean, that's the point of those weights and that pose, I'm sure.

Does anyone else purchase the Blue Ribbon book and how many coupons do you find yourself using?

I'm a junk eater too. I've been following the Everything In Moderation school of thought that seems to be hated by quite a few members here and I've been losing. I just have a decent deficit.

I eat Cheerios with my kids. =)

Lost the most weight so far in my back and sides. The part I am most excited about was a fatty patch on my chest that has been with me for years and was said, by a doctor, to be there forever. And it's GONE. It's such a beautiful feeling.

I make time. My husband voluntold me I was going to a gym, so he gets to look after the kids while I go to my sessions. And at home, it's when the kids are napping. =)

I'd seriously want all of the weights to be pink, no matter the size. Get rid of the stereotype that pink is somehow a weak color. :<

The world IS flat. And balanced on the back of four elephants which are standing upon the back of a giant turtle.

For me it's because I can keep my children occupied in another room while I workout; I can put the littlest one into the jogging stroller, but my 5 year old has a difficult time keeping up. And in the winter, the snow makes it impossible to get around our neighborhood (no sidewalks) and I wouldn't want to subject them to…

My son loves doing primals with me. Body-weight exercises only for my 5 year old. =B

Is there a chance you can see a doctor? I have a poor shoulder too, too much repetitive stress on my left side. I've started incorperating exercise (with weights) to strengthen my rotator cuffs. At gym, I lift heavier with my right than I do with my left until my left starts feeling better.

Mine is kind of nerdy; it's a custom picture of my husband and I pushing a Katamari~

That was my realm out there too! Is Senatus Redux still about?

HIDE. THAT. SCALE. My scale used to be in my bathroom. Every time I would go into the bathroom, I'd weigh. I got depressed even looking at the damn thing. My husband hid it from me. I focused more on how I was feeling, not how the scale was telling me to feel. I started noticing the definition in my body parts. I started…

THIS is one of the reasons I miss playing WoW. I am not disappointed that I quit when I did, but trying to find an alternative, newer MMORPG that has similar mechanics is almost impossible and I'm not about to devote as much time as necessary to get 'up to par' with the power-gamers on WoW again right now. :<

I wish they'd bring about a couple of 1.0 servers for those of us who have absolutely no interest in the expansions. They kind of ruined it for me, but I miss oldschool WoW.

I also want to recommend the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum for walking. The 3 mile drive can be a little frustrating because of the cars forcing you to one side, but it's nice to walk the 3 mile and then stop and look at the flowers and trees to relax afterward. =)

I used to play, but I'll be damned if I can remember the servers now! I had a Resto Druid on the EU servers called Fayn. I had a Feral Druid on the US servers called Yuleria. I guess I like druids. =B

I don't know...I'm always right. ;)

For me, I find that whatever has worked loses its flavor. Like, I become so used to that method of motivation that it just doesn't hold the same weight anymore and I have to seek something else. Sadly, I'm a very externally motivated individual and I know to reach my goals at their fullest, it needs to come from the…

I'd keep running...with both middle fingers up. But I'm vulgar like that. Way to stay committed. =)

Minnesota State Fair is coming up and I'm giving myself a complete FREE day and logging every single calorie that touches my lips. I'm actually thinking of buying a FitBit just so I can work out how many calories I burn compared to how many I consume. I wonder if they'd look at me weird if I just stopped around the park to…

Metro~ I have a gym membership with a trainer right now, but I'm incorporating home workout DVD's into the mix this fall. Feel free to add me! I love local support!

Minnesota Twins Baseball! <3

I posted this in another thread about Laughing Cow, but the same applies; pop it inside large mushrooms and sprinkle some herbs and Parmesan on top. Then bake. Delicious. <3

I don't consider tea or coffee in my daily water totals. I log them anyway because of the calories, but my water intake is simply water. As long as I'm hitting my water totals, anything else I drink is just an aside.
