  • Die hard POKE fan.... Like to say I cheer for ou when they aren't playing my Cowboys, but I don't want to lie, b/c I just can't bring myself to do it! RIDE 'EM COWBOYS
  • I had my first baby in January. I had to have a c-section b/c he was breech. I gained over 60lbs while I was pregnant! I believe most of it was water weight b/c I was down almost 40lbs 2 weeks after having him. I dropped another 10 in about 3 months, but I have been struggling with this last 10! I have definitely put on a…
  • It just depends on the person and their doctor. I had a c-section, went in for my PP check after 3 weeks. Doctor told me everything looked fine and I could do what I felt like. I started lifting and cardio at 4 weeks PP. I wasn't able to lunges, squats, or a whole lot that used my core b/c it was so weak, but by about 8…
  • My little guy is 3 and a half months old today. I will tell you the first month was absolutely awful. I honestly looked at him several times and thought what did I get myself into? I didn't think I could ever do this mom thing! I thought why do all these women constantly talk about motherhood being the best or how much…
  • I think a lot of people would admit that working your lower abs is one of the toughest areas to work. I know it is for me rignt now b/c I just had c-section a little over 3 months ago! I kind of feel like I"m starting for scratch right now. In reality to lose your "rolls" you will have to continue to lose fat, but…
  • Yes I would definitely take a rest day or two a week. Not only do you risk burning out quickly, but your body does need time to recover!
  • No better time to start your journey to a healthier you than today!!! Sounds cliche but it really is true!
  • More protein and typically less sugar!
  • Ready for the spring game as well! Going to take our almost 4 month old to it if the weather cooperates! He's a really good baby and LOVES to be outside, so hopefully we'll make it through the whole thing!
  • Hey Sheilah! I live in Edmond and work in Midwest City (well i'm starting a job in midwest city in a week)! I had a baby January 4th and I am trying to get all this baby weight off!
  • I've been playing around with after work out protein drinks/smoothies. May favorite one I've found recently is... Ice Vanilla protein powder Coffee (whatever is left over in the pot from that morning) 1 TBS of Peanut butter 1 TBS of chocolate chips Blend until smooth... Has less than 300 calories and is YUMMY!
  • Yep this ^^^!!
  • Abs are made in the kitchen! Its all about diet!
  • Right now i'm doing it on my lunch hour (or 1 and 15 min). That's going to change when I start my new job in about a week and a half. Its going to be difficult then b/c I'll need to leave the house by 7 and its taking about 2 hours to get out the door in the morning with having to pump and get myself and the baby ready.…
  • Yes! I had a C-section January 4th! I gained 60ish pounds and have probably 5-8 to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but need to add probably 5-10 in muscle to get my pre-pregnancy shape back (if that is even possible)!!
  • I had a planned C-section 3 and a half months ago... little guy has a large head and got turned breech about 36 weeks, then ran out of room to turn back down. I'm finding out how much excercises such as squats, lunges,and push ups/planks really do work your core. Before I was pregnant i guess my core was decently strong…
  • What does your sodium and sugar in takes look like? As far as vegetables to eat, I like to take zucchini and squash slice them real thin, sprinkle with olive oil, sprinkle on some Mrs Dash seasoning, and then roast them in the oven.
  • I think the best way to build strength is to do pyramids. Do 12 reps at say 70, 10 reps at 80, and 8 reps at 90.
  • This can be true, but every woman is different. Most of the weight put on during pregnancy is different than just putting weight on by poor diet. Like I said i gained 60 lbs, left the hospital about 15 lbs lighter, but lost nearly 40 lbs the first 2 weeks. Apparently I was very full of fluid. If I had to guess I had maybe…
  • Continue to eat healthy and do moderate excercise during your pregnancy then you can pick up right where you left off after the baby comes! My little guy is 3 and a half months and I absolutely ADORE him. I gained almost 60 lbs and have 5 left to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. No that weight isn't going to…
  • Sounds like you are making a lot of good changes for your body, but at first all these changes can shock your body a little bit. Working out and drinking more water can cause your body to retain water at first. You are losing inches so that's a good thing! You might try staying off the scale (I know easier said than done)…
  • I made this and put it on a Joseph's oat bran and flax seed wrap! It was YUMMY!!!
  • Bump!! I got the water thing down, it is ALL i ever drink! Hoping to get all my gym trips in this week, having a 3 month old makes it difficult!
  • There is a difference between being sore and being in pain. If you are just sore I would suggest stretching really good, drinking lots of water, and just going for it. I personally find once I get myself moving the soreness kind of starts to work itself out. However, if you are in pain like you injured yourself, joint or…
  • I'm in! Need some motivation to get the rest of my baby weight off!!! Name/ real name: kjensen15/Krista Current Weight: 154 Challenge Goal Weight: 140 04/09: 153.6 04/16: 04/23: 04/30: 05/07: <<150>>> 05/14: 05/21: 05/28: 06/04: <<<145>>> 06/11: 06/18: 06/25: 07/02: <<<140>>>
  • Oh no.. Ol'Roy is the WORST thing you can feed a pet! It is nothing but fillers, NO nutrition, which is why it is so cheap! The dogs make look fat and happy but it is all bloat!
  • That's an interesting question and would be an interesting study. There are so many possible mental side effects when you go low/no carb it could possibly trigger panic attacks in someone that had a history of them.
  • I agree with everyone else. The biggest discrepencies I've found is the calories is calculates for lifting weights. There is a substantial difference in the calories I burn when I lift my legs then when I lift my upper body. I also typically do super sets when lifting in order to get my workout completed quicker, so I…
