Breastfeeding and pumping takes the same amount of calories. You body burns calories producing the milk. Your calorie burn comes from the making of the milk.

I am against low carb diets so I say eat carbs....As far as the weight loss goes, you should be greatful for the weight loss.

This is inspiring! Awesome job!

Well I gained about 67 pounds while pregnant. I have lost 55 pounds since she was born. About 50 of those pounds was during the first 6 months before I started exercising and counting calories. My weight plateaued when I started exercising and counting calories. I'm about to wean my baby on the 18th when she turns 1. Hope…

Thanks everyone for the responses.

If you do strength training, you need 2 days between workout to let your muscles recoup. And should strength training 2-4 times a week. So your workout would look like this; M-arms/abs, Tues-Legs, Wed-Rest, Thurs-Arms/abs, Fri-Legs, Sat-Rest, Sunday-Rest. Or you could knockout arms/abs/legs on M and Thurs or however you…

haha I can so relate to you on love/hate jillian. Good job keep up the good work!

Satisfy your craving with something that won't hurt your diet. Chocolate pudding with strawberries or by itself, a fruit parfait, jello with a little bit of whip cream on top, smoothie, apple with peanut butter, banana with peanut butter, nutella (watch the portion size) with banana or a nutella peanut butter sandwhich,…

I might have read your post wrong but I'm taking it you want healthy sweet snacks?? Trail mix, homemade granola bars, greek honey yogurt with fruit (cantaloupe and watermelon blended into the yogurt is scrumptious), grapes with laughing cow cheese wedge, fruit paired with cheese, apples sliced or quartered with a tad of…

bump... I am would like to know as well

Today I had... 1 bagel 2 tbsp cream cheese should have had a piece of fruit Some more of my breakfast meals are... Special K granola-touch of honey milk piece of fruit maple and brown sugar oatmeal apple cut up in chunks granola yogurt-greek or regular piece of fruit

I'm using a free trial of the Jillian Michaels web site and it calculates calories burned for each of her dvds. The 30 day shred level 1 is about the same as the circuit training. Level 2 is about 50-60 more per 30 mins. Level 3 is about 30 calories more than level 1.

You just need to eat more. 1200 is the absolute minimum for anyone. If your only getting 1200 calories, chances are you are lacking nutrition.......If you don't eat enough protein and your exercising, your body will start to break down your muscles and feed on them. In return, your weight loss will not be fat loss but…

K thanks everyone :-)

I love tea and I was drinking tea instead of water. Until I did a little research and found that tea actually dehydrates you. Tea contains caffeine which will make you pee more often BUT it makes your kidneys work twice as hard and in return dehydrates you. Tea should not be replaced for water. Drink it on occasion but…

lol how funny!

Wow ladies! This is very motivating! I have read many stories about why a flat tummy can't be achieved after pregnancy especially if you've had a csection. I have read many stories stating the only way to get rid of the csection mama apron is surgery. I've had 2 csections and I don't want to believe the only option for me…

ok thanks. Going to check them out.

That is fantastic!

Thanks for sharing!

morning after I go to the bathroom

24 yes, 2 kids. 4 year old and 9 month old lightly active... up and down alot with the kids, cooking cleaning and work out 5x a week varies from normal to big....children hinder MY sex drive haha especially since the little one came along

This is my opinion so you can take it or leave it but there should be absolutely no reason to cut out fruits and vegetables when they are in their natural state. Anything in it's natural state is healthy. Strawberries have sugars but they are natural sugars. Vegetables also have natural sugars. Your body can process…

I love yoga. It is very stress relieving. I don't know about pilates, never tried it. If you want to do yoga for weight loss, you need to do a vinyasa, power, or a yoga that is fast paced and gets your heart pumping. Jillian Michaels has a dvd called Yoga Meltdown. Yoga Meltdown isn't as calming as other yoga programs but…

Sometimes I eat all the calories MFP says I need and some days I still have about 500 to go. It all depends on the day. If I'm hungry, I eat. If I'm not hungry, I don't eat. How slow are you considering slow progress?

5'4 and goal weight is somewhere around 150.... This may change when I reach my goal but for now, that is what I am aiming for.

Start out slow. Try walking around the park/neighborhood or wherever for 20 mins 3x a week. When you get used to that up it to 30 mins or 5x a week. Just keep increasing your intensity. But first off, just focus on getting into the habit of exercising. For your strength try calisthenics ( sit ups, squats, lunges, push…

When your nephew greets you with, "Wow! Your skinny." Haha kids are so blunt and honest OR your Father in law hugs you and says, "Hey skinny." Both of these things happened the last time I lost weight before my second pregnancy.
