I breastfed all 4 of my kids. The first 3 all weened themselves at 5 months but I was supplementing with formula. My youngest went 14 months and had zero bottles of formula ever. I say, human breast milk is the most nutrition for a human baby. But you have to do what works for your family and your preferred lifestyle. If…

I think it's good practice to get them to eat and enjoy them. Kids need to develop a good relationship with healthy food. And it's easier to start young. As a mother of 4, I don't encourage hiding. Find new fun ways to cook them.

Somebody that I know likes to use coconut cream.

Crock pot

My 45 G protein smoothie 1 powerful yogurt ( 21 G protein) 1/2 banana 1/3 cup frozen berries 1/2 cup milk or coconut water 1.5 scoops protein powder

I am not q lactation consultant but my friends call me the boob whisperer because I help everyone with latching and feeding issues. Such a great job you have! I love helping mothers and babies.

Don't think about the whole picture. It truly goes by faster and more exciting if you just focus on one lb at a time. I am a mother of 4. Having a baby is a reason to be fit- it's to be an example for your children.

Lift weights and don't lose weight too quickly and you will reduce your chances of excess skin. And remember, excess skin is not as bad as excess fat

I like them for when the family is eating something that is not healthy. This morning I had one for breakfast/lunch it's 45 g of protein total. I combined protein powder with protein power yogurt to get to that number. It sucks some days that I just want to eat a big meal but sacrifice is a good practice.

I have a friend who was severely anorexic and she made a habit of doing this. I don't think it is healthy for us to be finding ways to justify this dangerous behavior. Just because some people have done it , does not make it ok. Taste testing is not the same as using this as weight management. My friend was actually…

My passion, is pottery and ceramic art. I have work that I need to make before i die. I just hope I get time to do it between all the duties of mothering and care for the family.

I agree! As a mother of 4 , I think we can say "my family is my passion" but when you are caring for you only, and fulfilling your life's purpose (not your life's work) It takes a bit more thought. We have to nurture ourselves as individuals as well as caring for our families.

perhaps the language can change from "happy" to "satisfied". I will be happy now but satisfied when.. ;)

yes that is what I did - but Now I want to know how to tweak my goal using my numbers.

I figure I should formally introduce myself. 35- mother of 4, I am happy to participate in a non dating thread because I am married. I am a home studio potter and ceramic artist. I am also in the process of beginning with real estate. I have been working at my weight loss goal for about 2 years but I took a few months off.…

Hey monica :)

Damn right there is nothing wrong with wisconsin! ;) leave where the weather wants to kill you to go where wildlife wants to kill you.

a week long weekend..... please

Many of these things are rational .... People who post constant political posts on Facebook. I can handle 2-3 times per year making a statement but for goodness sake knock it the hell off. Post art, post food, post daily events, post for support, post to be proud of yourself but please don't bombard me with politics and…

Jonny- yes have you ever been on a cruise

another thing- if you are invited to dinner, you have control over what you put on your plate. And if somebody dishes out a plate for you, then you don't have to finish it.

Totally agree with you Sing! Eating cheese and wine daily is not worth being fat. It wouldn't be as enjoyable if I was eating it regularly anyways!

Your results will fluctuate. You will lose more than that some weeks and less than that others. Were you careful about weighing yourself under the same circumstances (after using the bathroom, wearing similarly weighted clothes and same time of the day?) If you weigh yourself several times per day you will notice you range…

eating 500 over is nearly eating at maintenance if you are at 1 lb per week as your goal. So i don't consider it that much of a splurge. I would feel guilty if I went much higher than that. As for what I would eat? For me If there is a cheese and fruit platter and a good bottle of wine Its worth being over for the day. I…

If you are nursing make sure to log that in activity also. I don't know how much I believe it's really 500 calories per day so If I were you just make sure that you are eating enough nutrients and not feeling too hungry if your body is producing milk. I was always SO HUNGRY when I wad nursing all of mine. (mother of 4)

I will have to look that one up
