Yogadownload.com has a huge variety of free 20 minute videos. Benderfitness.com has some free yoga workouts too, though most of hers are HIIT.

It is tough, but doable to lose weight this way. I gained 45 to 50 pounds each pregnancy and manage to get and keep it off. I hurt my back in my early 20s and have gone through several courses of PT over the years, some more helpful than others. To be honest, regular fitness, of the right type, has helped my back…

I am 38, from Ohio. I have lost about 20 with MFP and regular fitness and stopped tracking. My original goal was to get back to pre pregnancy weight and I kinda quit tracking once I got there. I just recommitted this week to lose the last 20 pounds or so, to get me back to my ideal weight. I have 2 kids ages 1 and 4. I…

Really?

Rea? No one?

Glad you are avoiding her from now on. I certainly think bleeding can make anyone's BP go up. Exactly how high, who knows. To answer your initial queation, when I needed labetalol, I had no orthostatic hypotension. When I had a normal BP and my doctor tried a beta blocker for my migraines, I could barely climb out of bed…

I agree with monitoring for sure. I am in Healthcare as well as is my hubby. I have treated women who stroked. During or after pregnancy at least 4x. Definitely monitor though. Perhaps you were nervous during your exam?

I should also add that I gained 50 pounds one pregnancy and 45 the next and weighed 160 before my last pregnancy. I am 5f 10 or so. I did not diet at all for the first 8 weeks or so

I lost weight while nursing. I ate around 1800 calories, and ate back some of my workout calories. That said, I seem to hold onto 5 or 10 pounds the first few months postpartum. It took me about 9 months to get back to prepreggo weight both times and weight got easier to lose in general after baby was about 12 months old…

I took it after pregnancy due to late onset pre eclampsia (39 weeks). I actually had to eventually take 2 meds to get my BP down. Before and since that episode, my BP is always low, often 100/60s. If the doc says take the meds, TAKE THEM. I also recommend purchasing a low cost BP cuff and track your BP at home 3 or 4 times…

Weighing food really helped me for portion sizes. I have found it also allows me to use non US recipies as elsewhere they weigh food amounts (i.e. grams) because it is more accurate. You can definitely work out at home. Benderfitness.com and yogadownload.com both have free videos. (Yogadownload.com only offers the 20 min…

Do not eat back all your exercise calories and never eat if you arent hungry. Good luck!

Yes, but mine is a new incision. Perhaps you have adhesions? Scar massage or MFR (myofacial release) may help. It did after my first.

I am not sire what group...but I would love to be friends!. I am 37 and just had my second child. I was not yet to my goal when I got pregnant, so I have at least 30# to lose total.

Ewww. Beer or rum and coke actually. For you...Cosmo?

Sex on the beach?

Milk fuzz, you are adorable and can do my eye makeup anytime! Great eyes and adorable nose :)

Flowers (cover up) that appear to sprout out of my back covering1/4 of my back. Took 3 sessions. Totally worth it.

Love me some bad *kitten* tattoos. Have one of my own :)

Hmmm. Eyes or hair.

Type the name in the search function. Scroll down to the search results and there is button that says add new food. Click this and add info there. Welcome!

I have some with medial posting and I got super feet inserts for them. Asics and brooks make good shoes. I highly recommend getting fitted. Good luck!

I sent you a request :)

I used to use the MFP numbers. Just this week, I am starting with BMR and plan on eating back about half of my exercise calories.

I am a D/DD cup and have had luck with a mix of champion high impact (target) and danskin (online) bras. Since having my daughter, I can't stand underwire either. That used to be all I wore. As for clothing, my favorites are target and old navy that I wTch online sales and clearance for. Don't buy a whole bunch, as…

I second the chilled herbal tea idea. I also use a stevia product called stur on occasion. I also use trader joe stevia drops for sweetening stuff like tea up. ( It is less processed than other stevia sweeteners per foodbabe.com). Sometimes I will also try a splash of juice in my water, but usually I go the tea route as it…

Note to the OP, I agree with your ideology on reducing gluten and dairy vs cutting it out. I am currently exploring alternatives such as coconut milk and homemade pizza dough with half wheat and half oat flour. I will see how it works for me. Removing foods entirely can be hard for me to sustain, but increasing my nutrient…

I have lost 23 pounds with diet yoga since July. It does work. I could touch my knees when I had my daughter 2 years ago. Now I am much more flexible, stronger, and in much less pain, especially back pain. I did not do this DVD, but started local classes with a groupon. I also use some off of yogadownload.com. If you…

I just sent you a request!

Good luck to you! It sounds like your focus on increasing activity and improving the quality of the foods you eat is ideal! I understand about the non productive black and white thinking as (at a much younger age) I too had an eating disorder. That type of thinking never really leaves you, but it can be overcome with…
