Thank you for the prayers ladies. I had to take a hiatus for a couple months due to health reasons. After I lost the baby over the summer, I got pregnant in September and hemorrhaged a couple times. To avoid losing either me or the baby, I was put on strict bed rest for nearly 6 weeks, and just got the okay a week ago to…

Do you have one of those girdle-like things to help with the pain? I would look into yoga. Low impact and it helps with stretching.

Thank you all :)

Prayers sent.

Honestly. I'm one of those chicks that had 36C's by 6th grade. I'm over it,LOL. If I could make them go away, even a little bit...that'd be awesome. My butt after 2 kids, however...I need to work on.

Hi ladies, I just wanted to say thank you for the prayers. I was going through a bit of a hard time. We just lost a baby, most likely a missed miscarriage before I barely registered I was pregnant. My job and work at my university have been mentally taxing. My marriage has been in a bit a rocky patch for other reasons, but…

I just sent you a note before reading this. Your thoughts are on the mark, lady. Thank you :)

Anyone?

You made me laugh with the "all freakin win." I love you,too, haha.

Thank you guys very much! This whole thing I've been struggling with since January. I weighed 176 then. It was horrible. Being that I'm 4ft11, even more so. I started MFP in March and I went from "oh man wouldn't it be great to lose this weight from the kids" to actually trying. I love this site and in part, I thank you…

That was the first (and last-yuck!) time I'd ever try that.

I have been fairly sedentary for the past 3 weeks-ish because I had bronchitis. I also didn't have much of an appetite until recently because I'd cough so hard I'd barf, so there are some super (like 500) low calorie days in my diary. I'm trying to figure out stuff food-wise because I was told to look at restricting carbs…

My birthday was Friday, so I had a bit of cake, and the Reeses was included in one of my gifts. :) That's part of my question though. I realize cake/peanut butter cups are not a good thing to eat, but that's a special occasion. I'm trying to push myself to eat around 1200 calories. But if I feel stuffed at what I eat on a…

All I know is that it must've done something! My forearms hurt, and my legs, kinda like if I did a bunch of squats. I logged it as general gardening, burning 870 calories at a sedentary activity level. Woohoo! Thanks you guys!

6 of my 12 pounds lost I thank Zumba for!

That is EXACTLY what's gone on with me. Thanks for the well wishes, I hope you feel better soon!

I was worried about the starvation mode, you nailed it right on the head. Thanks, you made me feel less worried about failing.

I just stated my summer term for my BS in Business Management with a focus in IT management. I'm 25 (eek almost 26 in 2 weeks here) looking to get down to pre baby/first go at college size. I'd love to connect with anybody interested in keeping each other motivated. I just finished finals, but jumped headfirst into the…

Feel free, a support network for something like his is always good :)

I'm the same way. Basically when fall and summer occur, I get sick. It's happened my whole life, but this is the first time that I've actually been on par with my health goals and its happened.

Sadly, I failed. Didn't do much exercise-wise yesterday. But today was a far better day.

I find that the 30 Day shred hurts less if i do something before it. I'm thinking i'll warm up with Zumba today then do the Shred.

I made the same mistake myself. My friends have told me today i get new calories, I start fresh and yesterday was well...yesterday. Drink a bunch of water, and if you hit up fast food and cookies like i did yesterday, watch your sodium. I feel for you, best of luck!

Sorry- went to bed earlier...here's my stuff: Weight (today): 163.8 Upper chest (under arms): 41 inches Lower chest (boobs): 44 inches Hips: 43 and 1/8 Wrist (right): 7.5 inches Wrist (left): 7.5 inches Calf (right): 18.5 inches Calf (left): 17.5 inches Left thigh: 21.75 inches Right thigh: 23 inches Belly (at its biggest…

1. How are you eating today? (Good, Well, Not Enough, Poor, etc...) I'm torn between saying "well" and possibly "not enough." i freed up over 800 calories today from exercise, but I wasn't really hungry despite getting around 1,100 calories today. I drank a Slim fast after a work out that made me tired and had a quick…

I bombed the first challenge. I did the full 30 minutes of my Mommy Fit type workout. However, I didn't do the full 45 minutes of Zumba. However, I did suffer through my first day of 30 day Shred, so that might count for something.

Hi, i'm Vicki. I'm 25.I had our 2nd baby in August. Like another poster, my pregnancy had gotten really scary at the end, I developed pre-eclampsia and had terrible edema. Pre-pregnancy I had been 158 pounds, but the edema and other issues made me balloon up to 209 pounds! I only lost 11 after delivery. i'm happy to say…

Today I NEED to do 2 things: 1-30 minutes of my Mommy Fit workout program (I've done 20 today thus far) 2- Do my "Activate" Zumba dvd from start to finish. On 4/16 I only did 35 minutes of the 45 minute dvd.

i hate water too. I have a terrible pepsi addiction So here's what I've been doing. i get the Crystal Geyser flavored sparking water. There's no sweetener or anything but has just enough of that "its not water" taste to get me to drink it. I like the orange and lime ones. i noticed I'll drink water more frequently if its…
