I'm wondering that too. I have no idea, and I can't figure out how to change my goals to reflect that I'm breastfeeding. :\

Hi all! My baby girl is 5 and a half weeks old. I'm going to start gradually trying to lose my baby weight but I probably wont be super diligent about it for at least another few weeks or a month. But I'm finally starting to feel like I'm recovering from being pregnant and delivering, so I'm looking around for ways to help…

I'm in! I've been wanting to try the t25 anyway, and monday is a great day to start. I think my scale is broken though, so I might post my measurements instead.

It looks like this thread was started a few months ago....I'm curious what all your results were when you did the program. I'm on day 1, week 2, and so far I like it but I'm pretty sure I've pulled a muscle somewhere so I'm not going as deep into the squats as I'd like. So for those of you who were in this thread earlier…

Hi everyone, I'm Cristyn and I live in the Seattle area. A few years ago I had lost about 30 lbs, but I've gained most of that back over the last year or so, which is pretty depressing. I joined MFP at the beginning of the summer, if I remember right, but this summer has been a very crazy and hectic one, so I've had a hard…

Starting weight: 172 Goal weight: 152

Is it too late to join?

Get your shots. Get all your shots, and make sure your kids get their vaccines too. Even if you don't normally get the flu, you could still be a carrier for it. Vaccines aren't just about protecting ourselves, they are also about protecting those around us-mainly small children, the elderly, or people who can't otherwise…

Congrats! What are you doing to lose the weight so quickly?

I was just gonna say this! Seriously, you spend your whole day lifting, squatting, twisting, running, bending...it's a workout!

The app I have tracks my calorie burn...I'll have to look and see if there's a way to just manually input an exercise, I guess. I just need to put it into my MFP diary so I can make sure I'm logging it all with my food calories and everything.

I'm sure you'll do great. It can sometimes be hard starting out and learning the flow of things, but it's that way with any kind of new job. You'll pick it up like second nature I'm sure. Good luck and have fun!

As far as the practical day to day, that really depends on the way your center works and what age of kids you're working with. They'll have a schedule throughout the day, so you'll likely be playing with them and assisting the other teachers, maybe helping with diaper changes or potty time and nap time. You'll probably…

I've worked in ECE my whole life, and am currently getting a degree in Children and Family Studies. My advice to you is to observe the other teachers and take their advice. You will eventually find a flow with them, and learn the nuances of the center you're working at, the other teachers, and the kids. I don't know what…

I'm a fan of swim dresses. I have a really cute one that's blue with white polka dots and a little bow in the front. It hides all the rolls and it doesn't look frumpy.

There are things about my body that I thought people would be disgusted by, and I was hugely embarrassed the first time I was intimate with someone, and after that, whenever I was intimate with a person for the first time. But truly and honestly, people see past all that when they care about you. I know it sounds cliche…

Right now my goal clothes are all the jeans in my closet that were too tight for me last winter so I know they wont fit this year because I've gained even more weight. I love the summer because I prefer wearing skirts and dresses over trousers anyway, but I know that fall/winter is right around the corner and I'll have to…

I'm going low-carb right now. I've done Atkins in the past, and I felt hungry and dissatisfied. What works for me is to just eat fruit and veggies as I normally would (few servings of each, each day), and limit my bread, pasta, and rice. Today I actually had a slice of bread with guacamole for lunch, but I don't normally…

I'm going to try to do other workouts or walking along with this. 20 minutes just isn't enough activity for me, because I'm basically pretty sedentary right now as I'm not really working and am in school full time. Today I did the 30 DS, then I did a 10 minute kickboxing workout I found on SparkPeople, and then a 15 minute…

I just re-started it today! I'll do the challenge! I did this before my wedding 5 years ago, along with WW, and lost about 12 lbs. I'm not doing WW this time, but hopefully I'll be able to see some results anyway.

Grew up in Kirkland/Bothell, lived in Seattle for a long time (moved around the country and the world for a bit), now I live in Bremerton. I pretty much know every corner of north King and Snohomish counties, learning my way around Kitsap. Feel free to add me!

It's hard to have an opinion one way or the other without having a link for the actual studies for the drug, and I don't think the links you provided had any information on the studies. Sample size, methodology, correlations, results, things like that are important in determining whether or not something is safe, and…

Oh man...I wish the area I live in could sustain growing avocado trees. I always say, I want an avocado tree, a lime tree, and tomatoes and onions in the back yard. I'd just live on guacamole for the rest of my life.

The workouts are decent for something low-impact, but I find Leslie Sansone to be incredibly annoying. I do the workouts every once in a while (I used to do them more often a couple years ago), but now I just kind of tune her out or turn down the volume.

I make home made guac quite a bit- just mash up the avocado, add a spoon full of sour cream (though I prefer nf plain greek yogurt as a sour cream substitute), diced tomatoes, diced onion, salt, and lime juice. SO GOOD. I also put slices of it on sandwiches, or dice it and put in on salad or in soup. Or just eat it plain.…

Way to go! You are awesome!

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I'm doing everything right, eating right, working out right, sleeping enough, drinking enough water, etc., and I haven't seen any progress. A couple of years ago I lost about 30 lbs, and I have recently gained back 15-20 of it, so I'm trying to lose it again. I know I can do it, and…

I know, and I really didn't like Matt Smith at first. I thought he was wayyyy too young. He eventually grew on me, though. But Matt Smith looks and acts much older, whereas Rupert still has such a baby face. I just really can't see him as the doctor, and I'd be very disappointed if he was. I'd love to see a more…

I've heard this today, too. I get sad every time we get a new Doctor, but then I always fall in love with him eventually. I'm sure whoever is next will be great, too. Although it would be nice to see an older Doctor again, like in some of the old series. I would really be disappointed if they brought in a younger person-…

Yep. When you get closer to your goal weight, it seems like it gets harder to lose the weight. It's very frustrating. I'd like to lose about 40 lbs.
