  • Like others have said, if you eat healthily and continue to exercise as you are able to, you won't gain 90lbs. When you gain the recommended amount, about ten pounds of that ends up going to fat stores for breastfeeding. So by a few weeks out (once all the water retention has sorted itself out), you'd be left with about…
  • A 40C has the same cup size as a 36D, so if you were a 36DD before, then you're down one cup size. As far as why you've been put in a size 40 now, I have no idea. Either you were wearing the wrong band size before, or you're wearing the wrong size now, or someone didn't measure right, or your newest bra fits small.…
  • I am 5'7", larger frame, large boobs. I would love to be 150, but I might end up settling for 155. I'm feeling pretty good at my current weight actually, which is 158.
  • I feel for you. When I was in that boat, my brother told me that "all you need is one" guy. As in, there might not be a lot of guys out there that meet your requirements, but all you need to find is one! Whatever you do, don't lower your standards on the important stuff! Maybe try looking in some new places? You have to go…
  • 32 the first time, and 40 the second time. I was quite active during my first pregnancy, and not so much during the second. It wasn't hard to get the weight off afterwards though, because I was breastfeeding, and that requires a lot of calories.
  • Veggies, whole grain carbohydrates (like rice, oatmeal, quinoa, etc.) My calorie allotment is just a bit higher than yours, but I find that I need to exercise regularly to burn some extra calories so I can eat a few treats :)
  • I had my first at 30, second at 32, and am planning another for 34 or 35. I always said I wanted three, and wanted to be done by 35.
  • I'm a stay at home mom, and I have exercise worked into our daily routine. After lunch the kids nap, and I exercise. I just view it as something I have to do every day, much like feeding the kids meals, and unloading the dishwasher.
  • My goal is to get down to about 150-155. I have a medium frame, hourglass shape, large breasts. I don't really want to be super thin - I never really have been, and I kind of like my curvy body. I'd like to be a size 8 or so. I'm 165 right now. Two months ago I was 175, after having two babies in about a year and a half.
  • Usually 5 days a week. I do a circuit training DVD which is about 30 minutes long, then add on another 15 minutes of cardio. I will often add some more ab stuff or lift some light weights while I'm watching TV in the evenings on top of that. From the responses you can see that there is a huge variation in how much people…
  • Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I have spent my evening looking into turbo fire, only to conclude that I'm not ready for it. I decided to get Turbo Jam and work my way up to Turbo Fire.
  • I read a previous thread about this, and people figured out that it burns around 300, give or take a few calories.
  • I started RI30 about six weeks ago. I was so out of shape when I started the DVD that it took me about 5 weeks of doing it 4-5x a week to be able to do the whole thing without stopping, and without doing the modifiers. I just moved on to level 2, and I'm probably going to do it for a few weeks (it's hard!). So far I am…
