count me in! please add me to the group!

Thanks for the advice. I will talk to my doctor about it. My baby is about six months old now so shes starting to eat more solid foods and less breastmilk anyways. I think I will just lower my carbs slowly bit by bit and play it by ear. I found a few websites that recommend starting low carb diets at the pre-maintenance or…

wow! way to beat your goals! you should be very proud of yourself. keep up the good work and dont let the holidays get you behind. you can do it!!!!!!

I usually burn from 450-550 calories during the first month workouts. But everyone is different. I depends on what you get your heartrate up to and how long you maintain that. The intro video to Insanity says you can burn up to 1000 calories in a workout so I guess 776 should be normal.

I eat Kashi go lean crunch cereal. It has as much protein as an egg and its fast to make!

Thanks for all the advice! Especially from those of you who have been nursing mothers.

Thanks! I guess I will have to start cooking with olive oil more instead of Pam spray. I already eat some type of nut everyday but I never thought of seeds! I don't like the plain greek yogurt and all the flavored ones are 0% fat but Ill keep looking! Maybe Whole Foods will have it?

I LOVE it! Had it for breakfast this morning with some pears...yummy!

You need some meat to keep you full! I had oven broiled porkchop, butternut squash, and a rice and lentil mix...delish!

I LOVE this recipe...hearty and healthy with a bit of a spicy kick due to the cayenne pepper http://allrecipes.com/recipe/quinoa-and-black-beans/

decided to go with the Polar ft4. ordered it on amazon.com and I can't wait for it to get here!!!

YUM! Looks good! Ill have to give it a try...thanks!!

It helps to prefill your diary for the day, a day or two in advance. That way you have a plan for the day and dont "wing it" and end up eating too much.

Don't Reward Yourself With Food...You Are Not A Dog.

Thanks so much for the advice! My number one priority is to be able to breastfeed for my daughter so I will definitely try and increase my calories. I think I will start adding a protein shake at night to help add extra calories and protein. Its so hard not to want to go full force but the baby comes first!!

I would recommend quinoa. It takes a lot less time to prepare than brown rice (only about 15 minutes compared to 45 minutes for brown rice) and it has more fiber and protein than brown rice.A cup of cooked quinoa has 220 calories, 8 g protein, 3.5 g fat, 39.5 g carbohydrates and 5 g fiber Carbs aren't necessarily bad.

Im right there with ya! Im 24 and just had my first baby and I have about 20 lbs to lose to get back to my pre pregnancy weight! I know I can do it though and so can you!!! The most important thing is to eat a clean diet. Work hard and you WILL see results!!!
