Feel free to add me - I've been doing CrossFit for 2.5 years now.

You can add me too (as can anyone else)! I'm 2 months post partum and back on here to get rid of the baby weight.

I have a BOB (it was on sale for about $320 on Amazon) and put him in the carseat (set on the BOB adapter) to run in. I've heard it's not safe to use a jogging stroller until 6 months when you want to have them int the actual stroller, and not use the carseat. But if you are worried, check with your pediatrician. My son…

I have a 2 month old and an Uppa Baby Vista. have to say that I use the bassinet feature MUCH more than I thought I would. I lay him in it when we go for walks around the neighborhood, which is almost every day. So definitely worth it to us to have the bassinet. Also, the storage basket is HUGE and great for running…

I am two months post partum, so I will share my experience. I did CrossFit throughout my entire pregnancy. After my delivery, I started walking right away. (Keep in mind I had a pretty smooth delivery - a few minor tears, only one required stitches). I felt perfectly fine, so I started working out on the elliptical after…

Agree that you can keep it up! I have a 2 month old, and I lifted my entire pregnancy. I finished a CrossFit workout 6 hours before my water broke! Of course check with your dr, but my OB was VERY supportive of me continuing to work out. Just listen to your body. I definitely dropped by the weight I was doing (ex -…

Due July 27th with our first and SO incredibly excited!! No real symptoms other than being a little more tired than usual.
-
Did these about a month ago - Back Squat - 185 Should Press - 75 Deadlift - 225 Total - 485 I hate shoulder press. It is so hard to make any progress!
-
Yes I absolutely get these when doing handstand holds. I do look straight ahead but I still get them!!
-
Knowing that my husband and I would be trying to get pregnant in the not so distant future is what motivated me to lose 30+ lbs. I've kept it off for about a year and a half, but would still like to lose a little more. (Like you I am 5'10" - currently about 175, would like to get to 160 or 165). I am also a CrossFitter -…

Congratulations on making so many successful changes!

Third vote for nom nom paleo - the best, easy to follow recipes!! Also I will plug one of my trainers and his website - simplepaleonow.com
-
If it was easy, everyone would do it. My absolute, all time favorite quote.
-
Also, I don't pay attention to how much I am eating in carbs, I just focus on avoiding grains, dairy and processed foods.
-
Anyone is welcome to add me - I am back to eating Paleo (although I am not always 100% strict about it). Perfectly happy to share my food diary!
-
Also, I've never heard of this two meal rule, so I definitely don't follow that. I have no problems with snacks - like others have said, fruit and nuts are good.
-
Personally, I love eggs so I am completely happy to have scrambled eggs and bacon every morning. However, to change things up, how about a smoothie? Just throw a fistful of fresh spinach into a blender with pretty much any fruit and you'll have delicious smoothie. You can't taste the spinach I promise! Frozen fruit helps…

Another recommendation for Hal Higdon's training program. I didn't strictly follow his program, but I made sure I did one long run per week. My longest run before the actual half marathon was 10 miles, but I still made if through 13.1 and was thrilled with my time. I just told myself on each practice run that I would run a…

I rowed in college, and while it is a great workout, almot everyone who uses a rowing machine has incorrect form. This is a good short video to watch about proper form. Honestly with correct form, while it is weird to learn at first, it makes the movement SO much easier. Not trying to be snotty, just trying to be helpful,…

I'm 5' 10" and currently weigh 172, and am a size 10. I say this because I am thinner at this weight now versus when I weighed the same in college and wore a 12 or 14. My goal is to be a size 6, and I think if I stick with strength training, I believe a weight around 155 would get me to that size. Also, I do not have a…

This exactly. My weight started creeping back on when I stopped logging in every meal. So I recently got back on track and started using this site. (Originally I was using the LoseIt! app on my iPhone).

I have the issue of some family and friends not working out, but it's not a big deal. I wish my husband would join the healthy bandwagon though! I do get teased sometimes when we meet friends out, and everyone else is drinking and I get unsweet tea, but I have tough skin and am used to it. They all know that losing weight…

Same here - I lost 40 lbs a year ago, motivating by knowing we would be TTC in the next year. We've been trying to 7 months now and I've let about 10 lbs creep on. At my current state, I'd like to lose another 15 lbs and hopefully get pregnant very soon! Anyone else in this situation is welcome to friend me!
-
me too! I just started using this site to get back on the wagon after my weight starting creeping up after a 40 lb loss (my lowest weight was after a 30 day paleo challenge in december). On day 6 of my 2nd 30 day challenge...
-
I highyl recommend the nom nom paleo website. I have used so many of her recipes!

I have the same dilemma - but I just eat Chipotle all the time. My other work lunch option is a deli near my office, and I order a grilled chicken sandwich without bread, so just chicken breast, tomato, and lettuce, and subbing whatever the veggie of the day is for fries. I know the veggies are cooked in butter, but I am…
