  • Also from new England, so I understand! I really like the yoga booty ballet dvds, as well as the dancing with the stars series (I borrow 1/week when I go there with my toddler so I can mix it up!) Leslie Sansone is also pretty great
  • I hear ya. I'm breastfeeding, so what was once a slightly manageable situation is now outta control! ...sigh....
  • Hi Neeko- Feel free to add me. I recently returned to work full time after having my boy in April, so I have a pretty good idea of what you're going through :)
  • Yeah, my little guy was born on April 10. He was supposed to be born in May, but then again, he has been full of surprises so far :noway:

  • I work in a call center and some of the things that have helped me are getting up early to get a workout in, using my breaks (2 15's and a 30) to walk in the park next to my office, sitting on a stability ball at least part of the day, and bringing my own food. The food one is HUGE, especially since I work with all women…
  • I was just talking about this-I felt like I was a bottomless pit yesterday! I feel hungrier since I've been EBF than I was when I was pregnant. What I find helps me is drinking lots of fluids (mostly water) and eating high-volume food like soups (love gazpacho this time of year), salads, fruits, popcorn, etc. I also…
