Same here. My baby doesn't sleep well so I'm exhausted throughout the work day and when I get home. I pick him up from daycare and don't get home until 6. I get him ready for bed, spend some time together, and he goes down between 6:30 and 7. I put my milk away, clean my pump parts, pack my lunch for the next day, cook if…

I have a 10mth old and just opened myfitnesspal after a looonggggg time. I breastfeed and my milk supply dips with calorie cuts. I'm going to try to track it this time so I can see what I'm eating. I miss my pre-pregnancy body and exercising. My goal is to get back to 140. I'm 200now. Slowly but surely.

My pinterest has been out of control since we started trying. Lol

Happy pregnancy ladies. I'm new. Got the good news on Saturday and I'll be seeing my doctor the 8th week. I haven't had any symptoms either other than my boobs being tender as hell. No morning sickness.....knock on wood. Oh, according to my last cycle. November 8th is my due date.

I joined the group and hopefully I'm not alone. I started medication last April and was around 140 so I was in the healthy weight range. My husband and I put off TTC until I got off of medication but I then gained about 50lbs. It was hard for me to lose on meds so staying my weight was very hard. I'm no longer on…

Thank you. I plan to. Before my weight loss I have always struggled with weight and self image. I have worked hard these past few years and I love my process. My husband and I are finally taking our honeymoon in August so I'm trying to make sure I look my best in the swim suits I just bought. I'm excited!

So I used the Scooby website which was pretty helpful. I have a question though. Some days I take my dogs to the dog park and will run back and forth with them or take them for a walk. I'm not burning the same amount of calories I would in a Zumba class so is that included in the activity level or would I have to add in an…

Can you show me how you calculated that or what website you used? I've never had any luck doing it myself or understanding how it is calculated. I appreciate it.

Okay. I'll definitely talk about this tomorrow. She actually did some type of calculation and said 1800 with exercise...not eating back calories. That sounded scary so I stayed at 1500.

I'm 5'4, 25, I calculate them with my heart rate monitor. Each day is different so some workouts may be 30, some may be an hr. Depends on what DailyBurn has scheduled for the day. I also interchange with Zumba and that is about an hr. I workout maybe 3-4 days a week. I do a lot of yard work and gardening but I don't count…

Thanks for the answers everyone. As a worrier I had to make sure there wasn't something magically wrong with me. I have a follow up appointment with my nutritionist tomorrow but clearly I couldn't wait until then lol.

Sleep and my stress levels could also be another factor. The carb intake makes sense, I blow up like a balloon after eating carbs. What stats do you need?

I figured it may have been water retention. The doctor did say I would gain weight but about 2 lbs. That was my main concern...and mood of course, so he prescribed Lexapro. It works well and has the least amount of weight gain.

I'm getting my masters in clinical mental health counseling. I need to update it. I wrote it about 2 yrs ago.

That's awesome. I'm actually looking forward to moving on. I'll feel accomplished.

Where'd you get your bar from? If you don't mind me asking. I'm slowly trying to build a home gym.

I love it! I definitely recommend a class if you have the time for it. I'm usually the youngest one in there, but I always have a blast. Before college, dance was a big part of my life so I'm glad I get to dance and burn calories at the same time. I'm thinking of becoming an instructor. I've had 4 approach me this year…

I'm doing day 4 tonight. I'm not going through it as fast as you guys. :( I have a membership to jazzercise so I try to go as much as I can to get my moneys worth. I'm also a grad student in clinic with early work days and late classes. Once I get home and do my readings for the night, it's 10pm and I'm exhausted. I try to…

True. Did day 3 today. I didn't feel as if I wanted to die as much as I did the first 2 days. So far so good. Trying to get the husband to join too.

Made me think of this Family Guy Scene "Ugh, look they have Chunky bars. What a god awful mess those things are. Chocolate with raisins in it. Yeah, yeah that's what kids want with their chocolate, fruit. Why don't you put sunflower seeds in the Ding Dongs while you're at it."

Looking good, girl!

I start day 2 today. Add me!

The snores of my husband to be. :/

Yea. People can be cruel. I started to grow into my weight in HS and I joined show choir and started a dance team so I started to lose a little weight. My diet was still the same so no significant weight loss. I went to an all girl school so I didn't get teased as much but I was still self conscious and had low self…

Puberty hit me like a truck in 6th grade and I gained weight like crazy along with my tiger stripes. My diet was already terrible and I was too shy to be active so I was teased all the up until 8th grade. People are the worst. My list: -Being the fat friend -Being the fat girlfriend -Friends looking better than you at the…

These pictures are awesome and super inspirational. Now I jealous...wish my fiance worked out with me.

I'm in a rut myself...probably salmon, green beans, and black beans...the usual, so nothing special.

I just died. I've noticed this as well....I should't read this stuff while at work...

B e a utiful.
