So how did you loose the body fat ladies? I index stand that lifting works but you then have to eat more too to build muscle..

Thanks all, of course after posting this now it will hit me like a ton of bricks tomorrow morning! Interesting that people have such different experiences..and that DOMS are not indicative of how hard you have worked..you live and learn :)

I'm screwed too. 9+ years of child related interrupted sleep and still some to go. i do however go to bed early to maximise my chances of a few solid hours.

I am loving doyogawithme.com ATM lots of routines

When people say 'scoop' of powder how much is that? 10g/20g?

Hi, well done on getting a place! are you running for charity?

Me too :( I fed my children whenever they needed, I was discreet about it. But After the first few months was never embarrased about it and no women should ever be embarrased or made to feel that way about feeding their baby. One of the reasons that so many women struggle and sadly fail to breastfeed is that they have…

Walking for me, I am 5'6 and can walk up to 6 mph..

Thanks, I can't find any full length classes on there though :(

looking at your profile you also have PCOS and thats probably more a factor than motherhood. I have gone into each pregnancy a healthy weight and lot the weight quite quickly but my skin tone isn't what it used to be! Give it time, eat lots of nutrient dense food, do cardio and strength training and it will happen.

oo that looks yummy, did it stay together well?

you what?

Ah yes thank you, I love water exercises ! will google the goblet squat.. I guess lots of people will have problems with the prone jacknife as it needs the stability that its trying to dvelop, its a complex move..and as I say no ball at my gym.. Thanks for the suggestions

bump..please

Wrong, MFP calculates in a deficit, your exercise calories are more deficit and you need them. Lots of people eat back their exercise calories or at least most of them and loose weight, me included ;) It is a different system to WW and others.

Black Flaxseed...

I am in a similar situation and what I do is eat about 1/2 my expected calorie expenditure back during the day..like today I have had houmous and cauliflower with the children when they have their tea. Then post exercise i will eat the other 1/2 as a protein shake (not necc powder just a choc milkshake with added nut…

Thank you both! I am excited and terrified at the same time :)

i would eat something like a tablespoon of peanut or other nut butter, drink some full fat milk..nothing thats going to sit on your stomach but waking up in the night hungry is not fun!

I have had three totally natural non fertility drugged pregnancies..and my libido is zero. There are lots of issues with that, lack of sleep, lack of me time, feeling touched out and lack of relationship supporting time with my husband, also a bad sex life even before children but really no libido, its a constant source of…

Most like someone from East Timor ( I had to google that!) BMI of 22 Lower BMI than 83% of individuals of my age in my country and 62% of the world If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 18,017,873 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population

Hi, I am wheat free due to IBS and other inflammatoryq issues. I have stopped craving it because I know how bad it makes me feel! I have an open diary so you can see what I eat, I am vegetarian too so lots of beans and other pulses, veggies, eggs, dairy and rice/quinoa

Beautiful day here on the NE edge of Scotland too, have walked and swum already and DH is doing a hill race this afternoon so will go and support him in that. Food wise Pancakes for breakfast White bean salad for lunch Butternut squash pizzas for tea and tons of stuff in between to eat up my exercise calories and boost my…

I posted the exactly same thing a bit ago - 6 cm loss from waist, nothing from hips..which means I am stuck in trousers cosy on the hips and baggy at the waist. On the plus size my bum is definately changing shape so they look better! I guess some of us have hips that stick around..wish I could move the fat up to my boobs..

Poor you, I have no idea what your cycle is like but could it be around ovulation, I def get PMS symptoms at around this time, maybe try going to the dr and getting a chek up as it maybe a hormone imbalance

I have the NRLFW on the way..but no barbells!

I'll do the route again tomorrow I think :) I accidentally deleted the heart rate details so grrr

And fantastic work OP :) I have lost not a mm off my hips but loads off my waist!

Its free on youtube :)

The idea is you do about 10 days at each level. I think you move on after 10 days (have at least one rest day, you knees will thank you!) when it suits you to or when you are very bored with JM and then you can switch it about. I tried level 2 yesterday but it was too hard work for my back so I am going to have a look at…
