bump....I have been wondering the same thing!

Thanks everyone. And thanks for the bear advice. I can always count on MFP!! I will pick up some bear Mace ASAP. Maybe I should revise... -Unless a pervert is after my child.... -Unless there is a risk I won't get a piece of cake... But, now that I ran 3.3 miles, there is really nothing stopping me from going 5 miles, or…

awesome! Thanks for the tips!

I usually eat on the go....I make a shake before leaving the house. 1 cup nonfat milk, 1 scoop muscle milk vanilla or chocolate protein, and a bunch of frozen fruit, or peanut butter and ice, sometimes I sneak in spinach (can't taste it!). There are a ton of ways to make a shake, but its over 30g protein, 250-300cals, not…

Thank you everyone!!!:love:

You look beautiful!!!!! Congrats on your wedding:) And your weight loss!!

Hi, look up babycenter.com for lots of pregnancy do and donts, til you get into your Dr. Also, look in your area and see if you can find a prenatal water aerobics or yoga class. I teach prenatal water aerobics in my city, and its great! Its also nice to be around other ladies going through the same thing. I took it while I…

I just made this....AMAZING!!!! Sooooo good! I am eating it with pita chips!

Bump...gonna have to try this!

I don't burn anymore when I bike towing my 30 pound son. I feel it more in the legs for sure, but according to my HRM, I dont burn more cals.

Thank you. One per week is enough, I am just afraid one will become one half, then one fourth, then nothing, then gain. Thanks for the encouragement. I am trying to get back in this mentally!!!

Keep walking and take the hills, that will get your heart rate up! Watch garage sales and get a comfy hiking backpack. I hike with my son (17 months old) on flat desert and up hilly trails. He weighs 30 pounds and adds great resistance! I also bike pulling him in a trailer. He loves all of these activities. I also push him…

awesome advice!

I hate the eliptical. I hate running/jogging. I love walking. I love hiking. I love swimming and waer aerobics. I love biking. I love kickboxing, step aerobics and I almost love Zumba. I hate when I miss a day of working out. I am growing to love the feeling of superworked, sore muscles. I love how strong I have gotten! I…

$4?! Man those are $5 in Washington;)

With my son, I only gained 20 pounds (this was ok with my Dr, as I was overweight), which I lost within 10 days of him being born. I also did prenatal water aerobics twice per week. I think now that I have found this website, and having my Dr set how many calories I should be eating....I will be able to do the same! I…

I use plain greek yogurt instead of mayo. Tastes great!!!

I just tried to do the 3 day cleanse...I guess I just didn't like it. The first shake was ok for the first half, by the end I was gagging. I had the chocolate, with water and ice. Tried some banana in it to see if that helped. Nope. By lunch, I had a few sips and was gagging, couldnt finish. But my friend did it, lost 6…

I have the polar ft4....I love it!! MFP really overestimated my step aerobics and kickboxing classes. The hrm pushes me harder too:)

Congrats to you!!! Some ideas for the Mommies: Get a moby wrap, mai tai, or baby bjorn....you can walk inside or outside with baby on you. My hubby and I hiked our local mountain starting when our son was 6 weeks old (he is a November baby), all bundled up in the bjorn. When it was raining, we walked the indoor track at…

I am doing a biggest loser challenge at my gym. They gave us this plan to follow, but our trainers said rather than figure your calorie intake by weight X 7, to increase it to weight X 10-12 for women, and even more for men. I didn't pay too much attention to the BL plan, I have been using MFP the whole time, and have lost…

Hahahaha...."Do women know about......shrinkage?"

Dear Panics at the buffet (I do too) Your welcome...and you know, I didnt think the water was THAT cold....I dont know why you kept insisting it was....

Glad the hair grew back, if I had been sober, I might have felt a little guilty. That whole lighting my fart is totally how I met my husband...its a great bar trick!

You were totally worth every quarter!

I have stolen a lot of cupcakes in my day!!

LOL!!

When my 14 month old son is fussy or clingy, I throw him in the stroller and walk, or the hiking pack or a front pack. It actually quiets him down and often puts him right to sleep! Good luck, being a Mom is hard!

I have the videos too. I use aerobics usually. I would love to see what others do.

Childrens Mental Health Social Worker. I work in a wraparound program, for those of you who know what that is:) I teach prenatal water aerobics at my gym as well. And Mommy to a 14 month old. I stay busy:)
