Hey there here is some info that might help you out. Here is how to check for diastasis recti (or separation of your main abdominal muscle). First, lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Slowly raise your head and shoulders off the floor, tightening your abdominal muscles. Keeping the muscles tight,…

Thank you I really needed to hear that today. It has been a month and the scale hasn't moved for me but my clothes have gotten looser. What you say makes alot of sense. I was getting very depressed. So again thank you for the information.

I tried it a few years back and did not like the SIDE EFFECTS that is for sure. Maybe cause I don't have my gallbladder had something to do with it I don't know, but I had several of those side effects that were listed above. I agree with XFitMojoMom.

Hi, I think I would have to agree with everyone that you need to eat more cals but good ones. I normally try and stop eating at 8pm. What I do is I go and brush my teeth ( cause you know everything is going to taste gross or weird after that) than I shut the lights off in the kitchen and tell myself the kitchen is closed.…

To ang9125 Thanks I think you are right and am going to try that.

To anubis609 my calorie goal is 1500 and for the moment am not taking any meds the doc wants to see if it will go away with weight loss ( weight loss ha ha ) For exercise I walk on the treadmill. Thanks for the info it is very helpful and I think watching my carbs again will help me better than watching calories. Wow you…
