I go through almond butter like water. SO damn good!!! Nutella however,i cannot keep in my house. I'd sit on the couch with a spoon and just eat it by itself...DANGEROUS!!! YUM!

GET AN ERGO CARRIER!!!!! I swear,my daughter sleeps in it while i cook dinner. Most of you will say,what a terrible mother i am cooking while having a baby attached to me?! But,it's the only way, come 5:30pm when It's time to start making dinner and my husband is out of town. I can prep all my food while she naps..or hangs…

Just reading this,almost made me cry! I get emotional when it comes to success stories like these because I feel like It's taken me so many years to realize I too could do this. You're so smart to have figured it out while you're still young; what an inspiration. Great dedication! Congrats!!!!

Will most definitely try this! I need an alternative to plain old oatmeat. Sounds great!

Aspartame,diet cokes,sugar,alcohol. I swear,when i cut these out I have less cellulite than normal. Also drinking a ton of water helps but for the most part genetics is the devil in this case. My question is...how do you brush your skin?!?!

8 months PP (second baby)and let's just say....my bladder isn't what it used to be. TMI? Do your kegels ladies!!!

I can TOTALLY relate. I've always had REALLY nice boobs (naturally a 34D) and after my first baby,they became completely deflated. I then lost 20lbs and it made them even worse! 8 months ago i just had my second baby and i'm still nursing,which I love and am happy i am able to but I am seeing my boobs once again look…

I REALLY want to make this,Im just so scared im going to eat the whole darn thing! I think If i leave out the sugar,I'll feel better about it. I know my son is going to lalalala lovvve it! That is,if I leave some for him by the time i get done with it. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

Same here. Ill usually have vodka and soda with (lots of lime)lime or if you want something a little tastier,try a flavored vodka (like vanilla)and a soda water....OR just go for a martini,straight up! :) Lighter liquor are always less calories than dark liquor.

Girlfriend,that would bug the SHIZ out of me!!! Get your germ infested hands out of my kids mouth! How many times would someone do that? Have you ever asked her why she does that?! My MIL is pretty awesome,i can't complain. She's almost TOO nice,which kinda creeps me out sometimes. The only complaint with her,is that she…

First off,are you breast feeding or formula feeding? Because If you're BF,you shouldn't diet or cut any calories the first few months,to get your supply is good. Otherwise,try getting in lots of protein(lean fats),lots and lots and LOTS of veggies,fruits and good fats. A good walk is great for the kids and for you. Not…

To be quite honest,I almost didn't do them tonight. I felt so lazy, but after seeing all of your amazing dedication,I did it! I'm so happy I did. I feel SO much better. Thank you for keeping me on track! :)

HI there! I have a 4 year old and 8 month old and this time has been the hardest losing weight! I gained 37 with my DD and have about 12lbs to be back to my pre-preg weight. But Id still like to lose another 15 or so. I've tried taking in 1800 calories, and ive tried 1200 calories. My supply is best at 1800 but I am not…

Such an inspiration! Congrats! You look GREAT!

Im actually really starting to LIKE them! I always DREADED squats,hated,hated them. But now they're my favorite thing! Woot!!!

I almost forgot to do them tonight! Phew! My knees started hurting so my MFP friend suggested using weights to take the pressure off them and it worked! yes! See you tomorrow....

Hats,SPF clothing,lots of breast milk/formula. That's all they need. I believe before 6 months no sunscreen. Aveeno baby is great and of course california baby. Don't stress too much,people having babies in the patty fields seem to do just fine ;)

Makes sense. I don't notice it much this week,thank goodness!

Great book i read : The sleep easy solution. Get him on a schedule so he knows his cues. And like pepper said, start with naps in his crib so hes comfortable with it. Im just now getting my daughter used to naps which is way harder than going to sleep. Just keep at it. He'll get it :)

Is this real?!

Ugh, I know the story well. I've gone as low at 1200 calories and as high as 1800. Nothing has helped. Granted,I weighed 207 the day i gave birth to my second baby and lost 18lbs in two weeks. Now I am 182 and holding on to 13(and then some) unwanted pounds. Like everyone else is saying,you might have to wait until your…

135 done! When is our rest day again>!?

Ok,so it's not crazy of me to think that. PHEW!!!! I wish I would've done a before and after measurement but I didn't even think about it. Not much longer till its over. i can't wait to see the progress we made!

Take it easy on yourself,seriously. You JUST had a baby! I know,i know,im sure people tell you that already,people told me the same thing (7months PP here). Keep breastfeeding and the weight will come off and give your body time to heal. A C-section is a SERIOUS surgery,as you may already know. It's very important to…

TOTALLY in the same boat! I've gone as low at 1200 calories but had zero supply left. Now im at 1600/1700 and my supply is decent but Im not losing anything. I think you have to decide to BF or lose weight. I think the body holds on to extra lbs because its natures way of saying "feed that baby!". Stay healthy and active…

130 done! I thought it was 120 too....oh well whats another 10. :bigsmile:

I totally feel you Shanna! I mean,i don't have 3 other kids (2 total) but i can kinda relate. My daughter (7mos)is up about every 3 hours as well and HATES,i mean,HATES to nap unless im holding her. You can only do what you can do. First and foremost sleep (whenever possible)is important. The weight will eventually come…

THANK you for this! I am seriously laughing out loud. I feel like im constantly going against what i should do (even with my second baby)when your gut is always right. My oldest son was the WORST sleeper,didn't think i could get any worse and then I had my daughter (who's 7 months) and shes definitely worse than he was. I…

Done! I think today was the easiest day so far! :)

80 squats with two 5lb weights. My tush is lookin perky!
