Currently BFing my fourth baby who is four months. I've never been able to lose weight easily while feeding any of my children and it's no different this time. My weight yoyos constantly at the moment.

We don't do Thanksgiving in NZ (at least our family doesn't) so it's just a normal day foodwise. Christmas day is our big food laden holiday and I'm planning on just letting that day be relaxed in regards to logging it. I will still log as much as I can (hard task especially since hubby is cooking) but I won't be worrying…

I'm a Fitbit newb (only had for about a month) and would like some new friends also. https://www.fitbit.com/user/2SQYKM

I need some friends. Feeling a little lonely on there! https://www.endomondo.com/profile/3239556

Hi, I'm in Hawke's Bay.

30DS is great if you're just beginning to do her workouts. They're generally meant to be 10 days each level and I think most people do them 5-6 days a week. Ripped in 30 is the next level up from that. 1 week each level. I'm starting that on Monday if I remember my starting dates correctly. 6 weeks 6 pack would be the next…

My first pregnancy was the one that 'made' me overweight and I've been struggling to get the weight off since. Each pregnancy I've managed to lose weight beforehand and put it back on again so that I end up around the same weight post-pregnancy. The good news is that it has been less weight put on each time (1st was 30 kg,…

So glad to see I'm not alone! It's a little frustrating having to start the whole process again but at least I managed the weight gain better this time around.

Log both but make sure you have the right breast feeding amount. Especially if your 22 week old has started on solids. You won't be burning as much as you would be exclusively breast feeding. I'm only assuming baby has started on solids though from the number of weeks old.

That is a fantastic difference so far! Well done!

I'm starting it in a week's time. I want to give my body a chance to recover from finishing 30DS.

I add it as a personally created exercise and use my hrm for the calorie burn

It's just ad space. Besides, don't most McD's have a healthy range now? We have a range of salad and wraps at our one. Even going to a fast food store is no excuse to eat unhealthy these days.

Or a belly dancing one!

Try some of these - http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/03/recipe-index.html I'm planning to try quite a few of them!

Zumba.

How much water are you drinking a day? I try to drink between 10-12 glasses a day just because between breast feeding and exercising 8 glasses is not enough to keep me and baby hydrated. What kind of sports bra are you wearing and does it stay in place or do you have to keep adjusting it? If you have to keep adjusting it,…

Push ups and plank movements.

A mix of both. I try to plan my day beforehand and then edit it as I go.

When was the last time you adjusted your calorie in take? Might it be time to lower it a little bit?

Welcome Harper! I gave birth to #2 in December. I have 15 lb still to loose from #2 and extra 35 lb from #1 and 10 lb from pre-pregnancy to loose :-) I'm hoping to be able to fit a sexy new bikini by next December (summer in NZ).

I didn't try very hard for the first 3 years and only seriously started last year in January only I conceived #2 in March and had to stop. I managed to loose about 7.5 kg (about 15 lb) before doing so though. Now I have about 60 lb to loose to get to my goal weight.

Hi :smile: and welcome! I gave birth to #2 nearly 6 weeks ago. It's my second time around of trying to loose baby weight on here.

I am a bit by my husband. While I do the shopping etc and I respect that he isn't ready to loose the weight he has also put on and will buy him the treats that he likes, he quite often tries to force me to eat the stuff he is as well.

Woohoo I'm up to day 15! It's starting to get a lot easier now that I know what to expect. I'm sure level 3 will throw me again.

I've just finished day 14. It's a great workout!

I'm from and still in NZ. Was from Auckland but now in Hawke's Bay

Hi and welcome :-)
