  • Sigh at. A little too young for me!

  • Then you are seeing the wrong therapists! Wanna know something? They're people, too! And many of them have gone through "hell and back" which may be, in part, a motivating factor for practicing therapy. At any rate, you are here venting. People have constantly let you know that it sounds like the relationship you have with…
  • Wonderful idea! I have made a personal goal for Christmas, so it'll be nice to have the motivation of a group for support!
  • I have a 9 month old baby girl, too! Welcome, and feel free to add me!

  • I'm under my pre-pregnancy weight at 8 months postpartum, all while breast feeding. It has certainly felt like slow-going at times, but slow and steady beats nothing at all! I'll take it!
  • Wow, crazy! That milk calculator would put me at burning 800 cals to make 40 oz of milk (18lb 9mo old w/5-6 feedings in 24 hrs). Doesn't that seem exceedingly high? She does still get most of her nutrition from breast milk, being a slow solids eater (We BLW and she is a table scrap nibbler). I've been logging 350 cals per…
  • It's hard to not get discouraged! My daughter is 8 months and the weight is still coming off slowly. I have to work extra hard, and half the time I feel like I don't know what I'm doing! Am I eating too many cals? Too few? What's the issue today. Gah--it's maddening! I try to remind myself that even if the scale is barely…
  • Thanks! I'll try cycling. My husband convinced me to have a cheat meal yesterday and I had a slice of pizza and a small ice cream cone. Wouldn't you know it? Dropped down a pound overnight. I have also worried that I'm eating too few calories. My 8 month old nurses regularly (we're doing BLW so she's still getting the…
  • She gets plenty of baby-wearing time, but we let a new mommy friend try our Boba, so we're working with a ring sling and a stroller for a few weeks. I don't want to hip-carry for a long walk, so stroller it is!
  • Hi! I'm Heather, I'm a 30 year-old work-from-home mom to an 8 month old baby girl. I'm a fashion writer. Married 2.5 years to my husband who teaches at a local university. I'm on the crunchy end of the spectrum when it comes to the babe. We breastfeed, co-sleep, baby wear, yada yada. I've managed to make it down to my…
  • Ask at Outblush.com! They do personal shoppers. They'll take your specifics, round up dresses based on your style and post a bunch of outfits from lots of different sites. You give the parameters (size, style, budget, time frame, etc.) and they give you viable options!
  • I'm (sorta) in the same boat. I have a 8 month teether and a 2 jobs (though, gratefully, both from home). I manage to eat within my caloric range OK, it's the exercise that seems to fall off the plate on busy days (which, let's face it, are every day!). I think I'm going to have to be strict with myself about putting the…
