What about the eliptical? Thats not hard-impact.

Me! Im 23, in college for RN, and have 2 sons, one 3, and one 8months. Im also a worker (labor and delivery). Im super busy alot, and need lots of support! I just deleted all my friends bc they never logged on anymore! With my pregnancy i shot up to 220 lbs. Im at 170, but would like to get to about 145 before me and my…

if you drink 8 glasses of juice a day, your looking at around 1000-1200 extra calories a day. You will gain weight.....

sit ups!!!!

Im planning on starting this fall. By the way, your before and after pictures are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kashi cereal and granola bars. Love them! Also fresh fruits and veggies. Apples, bananas, seet peppers, cucumbers, oranges can just be thrown into your purse.

Thats amazing! Great job. Looking forward to starting, and I agree. With the shake and milk, its only 170 calories... I added a banana into my strawberry sample and it was the bomb!!!!:tongue:

I can tell a huge difference. Especially in your face and arms! Keep it up!!!!

what kind of IUD? The copper IUD irratates the uterus. This irritation will release stress hormones, cortosol. We all know what cortisol does. I had mine removed.

Welcome!!! This is a great place for support, and the food log is awesome!!! Im here because I had a baby 5 weeks ago, and need to lose 40 lbs! Good luck and remember, there WILL be bad days, but on the next day, just move on and keep going!

Welcome. I had a baby 5 weeks ago, and I have 30 lbs to lose!! I gained waaaay to much, now I gotta take it off so I can fit back into my clothes! Congrats on your baby!

To get back my pre pregnancy body and strength. Im 4 weeks postpartum and have 40 lbs to lose!

broccoli, aspargus, side salad w/ lowfat dressing. Green Giant sells frozen veggies in a box, and you steam them in your microwave. They are all really good and healthy!

ITS HARD TO SIT DOWN ON THE TOILET!

Im not sure that is true. I work out way hard sometimes, heart rate is at least 200, and I dont sweat that much.

sometimes it takes more then 1 day to feel the soreness

Thanks so much for the support. I WANT to work on her unit....she was so happy that I was coming to work with her. Its a hard unit to get on (OBGYN). I want to do it in her honor. I just have to find the streght and pull myself through it. I want to do it for her.

Thank you nolachick. I just put some of her pics on my profile. she was such a beautiful and wonder ful women. She would do absolutly anything for her children. Everyone please call and tell your mother you love them tonight. Please do it for me.

Yes 19 months apart is too short. My son will be around three when the new one comes. Im only 21 so when my Children are in college, I will only be in my thirtys.

Congrats and job well done. You should be so proud of yourself and your self confidence should be through the roof!:flowerforyou:

I drink Meijers whey and soy protein. It comes in a powder. Only 125 calories, 25 grams of protein, like 3 carbs, 1 gram of fat. It dont taste good by itself but you can always add it in oatmeal or your smoothie. Muscle milk/ Myoplex---They have a ton of sugar!

Thanks you two. I want to start "trying soon" because it took us alomost a year to conceive our son. My husband has low sperm count. So im sure my son will probably be close to 3 when and if there is a baby.

They sell egg white seperators at Bed Bath and Beyond for like $2. Its just like a little plastic thing. You know you can get the most out of your egg whites if you let them sit out for about 10 minutes before cracking them.

While strenght training, women will not bulk up like men....we dont have that special amino acid that males do. The women who are really bulky are also taking suppliments to increse the mucsle mass. Strength traing will make you look more lean and toned. I was worried about the same issue and I did some research.

Drink some chocolate milk, or a muscle milk.

I have kindof the same issue. Thanks to genetics. I have been doing lunges and on the stair stepper machine and it seems to help. I do lunges until my butt hurts and I know it worked because my butt hurts the next day!

:flowerforyou: SWEET! I cant wait to get to my goal!:drinker:

If it doesnt start feeling better, I suggest you call your doctor. Knees arent nothing to mess around with. Hope everything goes well.
