I feel the same way. I still think of myself as pre-baby (he is now 5) me. I see myself in pics and think...who the hell is that???

thanks all! Hoping they said cheesecake too!

Firefox, don't know. That was all that was mentioned. Threw out the wrapper for the cheesesticks, but need to investigate. You have a good point.

I know you probably said something helpful, but now all I can think about is your profile pic. Damn man! Good job!

Hi! For me, I need to set a goal....for example my brother's wedding. I too tend to do this in cycles. Get all gungho, then drop off when the going gets tough. Also, my MFP buddies are AWESOME!! Surround yourself with great friends on here and they will take you far. You will LOVE zumba. It is sooo much fun! Warning…

You are an inspiration!! GREAT JOB!!!! Sounds like a happy naked dance to me!

Ha! I thought the word was made up too! Learn all kinds of things on MFP. :) Just throwing it out there, but I had my period twice while pregnant with my son. Was blown away when I found out I was pregnant and how far along I was.

Such amazing news!!! So happy for you!!

I, too, stopped counting my sugars just because of this issue. I still remember the feeling when I had a banana, apple, and grapes in the same day and I was way in the red. Freaked me out! But then I remembered it was a banana, apple, and grapes for s#@% sake and stopped tracking sugar.

Don't beat yourself up hon! I agree with everyone about taking it slow. 6 weeks is the standard recovery time, but everyone is different. Listen to your body right now. Doc may say it's ok, but he/she does not know what you are feeling. Give yourself time to heal all the way. If you can only walk 5 minutes, then so be it.…

There are no photos of me for about the last five years. Can't stand to have my picture taken! My husband jokes that my son is going to wonder where his mother was when he was growing up.

Couple people have said it, but I second it with oatmeal. It is my go-to breakfast. Oatmeal with PB and cinnamon......banana on the side. LOVE it. Can't stand consistency of oatmeal with water or milk, so this works out great for me. Kinda like a pre-fab granola bar. Agree with the apple, celery, and banana ideas too. My…

I have only lost 5 pounds.....but have gone from a DD to C. Who says you can't spot reduce????

So happy for you!!! Way to go rock star!!!!

Babysitting is a huge need. I for one don't work because the schedule is too rough. My son goes to pre-school for two hours three days a week. There are a bunch of moms there that quit their jobs because they couldn't figure out how to get their child to the next location or who was picking them up, etc. Definately worth…

I, too, and a SAHM. I sell Tastefully Simple. Schedule parties when my hubby is home so we always have someone watching the little man. The business is what you make it. You work it how you need it.

Did you post this for me??? ;) Going to rinse and repeat and see what happens.

Oh boy! Guess I am part of this group too. (cringe) I am 40 and have a 4 year old. My biggest challenge was pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes. Well, that and the big red stamp they put on your folder when you are having a child "later in life". That killed me! I am a SAHM and LOVE it. Not sure I would have been so…

PUSH UPS!!! I have done the shred 3 separate rounds and I still can't do a push up to save my life. Puny wrists!!
