  • Same here! 3 little ones, just had my youngest one in early November.
  • I go to the gym on my lunch break and it's pretty perfect. Before kids, I would always workout in the morning, but it's just not doable anymore. I change in my office and then head over to the gym. I second the baby wipes, deodorant and clean socks/underwear. I do a quick cleanup/change in my office when I get back because…
  • I agree with the above posters. We're not trying to be harsh, just helpful. Rethink your fuel strategy. I didn't really like gels so I used gatorade mixed with water, gummy bears, and/or pretzels. You shouldn't worry about being hungry; you just want to avoid bonking. As for packs, I have a nike water belt that has two…
  • Yes! Please add me :) I ran 5 marathons before having my two kids and now am trying to get back in shape! Still contemplating which races I would like to do this year...
  • Hi, I could use some twins/friends for support! Please add me: 33 years old SW: 152 (on delivery date with my second daughter) CW: 125 GW: 105-110 Mom of two girls (two csections). Work full time. Exercise interests: running, cycling, yoga/pilates. Would like to become a better swimmer and maybe do a triathlon this summer.
  • I have a two year old and a four month old. My husband often works 80 hours a week. I work a full time job. I get it. I used to workout early in the morning (before kids), but now I would have to be up at 4 am. No thank you. So this is my plan - workout at lunch! Sure, it's a little gross because I don't have time for a…
  • My husband often cooks dinner (almost always healthy), which is awesome. He also knows that I go a little crazy if I can't work out so he will watch our young daughters for an hour or two so I can run/cycle/yoga...it helps both my physical and mental state. Also, he has never complained that I have like five different…
  • I love san pellegrino natural or the polar flavored seltzer waters.
  • I don't have diastasis recti anymore. I did have it towards the end of both my pregnancies. My doctor advised avoiding any ab work (especially crunches, but even planks or anything that engages the abs) for at least 3-4 months after birth. She said the muscles should come back together on their own, but any ab work while…
  • I'm also interested to hear women's success stories. Any before and after pics without a tummy tuck? I've had 2 c-sections and the pooch is disgusting. It has been getting better with running and yoga...but I still have complete numbness 2-3 inches above scar and I find it really hard to engage the muscles.
  • My first race was a full marathon! You can do it. I trained with the Jeff Galloway method (run-walk intervals). Listen to your body, go slow if needed, and enjoy. By jumping in right away but not feeling crazy pressure to be super fast, I fell in love with running and have done 5 marathons and several half-marathons to…
  • Please add me! My brother's wedding is May 17, which is great timing to coincide with this group. I would like to lose 20-25 lbs (post-baby) and get back in long-distance running shape!
