Gotcha! Will report back in 2 weeks! Thanks so much for taking the time to help!

sorry, food diary now open.

Thanks! It never occurred to me to use the bar off the bench lol! I did realize on B days not to do the squats and deads back to back for that very reason!

its not a smith machine, but if there doesn't seem to be a surplus of barbells, so if someone started using the rack while I was doing chest presses, then I wouldn't have a barbell to use, even if I didn't use the rack. Thanks for the input!

Hey Oishi, I just started stronglifts again a couple weeks ago, when the baby was about 11 wks old. I could have started sooner, but didn't have gym membership until then. I had a regular delivery and I was cleared to start working out pretty much when I felt up to it. I started walking and jogging about 2 weeks…

I am just starting back with stronglifts after having a baby in July so my goals are: Do SL 3x per week no excuses (joining gym today) Keep diet where it needs to be Still need to lose 25 lbs of baby weight I am so glad to finally get back to lifting again. I was supposed to run a marathon in November but due to unforeseen…

Thanks!! I have done stronglifts in the past and I liked that, because as I said before I am not a huge fan of lifting so this was good because it was a nice simple routine (as compared to NROLW) which I have tried but found it too long and complicated. SOrry for the delay responding, had no internet access for a couple…

Thanks Sara!

Thank you all!!! It turns out it was a clogged milk duct. I decided to try to pump first thing this morning and once I did, the lump went away!! Thank you all for the responses!

I am 5"8" and currently 199lbs. I would like to lose 35-40 lbs. I am really not sure what to do as far as macros go, as well as whether or not to eat exercise cals back....I am pretty diligent about weighing everything I eat and in the past, when eating at what MFP calculates at a deficit, I would usually gain....

I am not nursing. I was pumping but have stopped that just a day ago.

its been so quiet here, hope that means everyone is having babies!!!!

@Kelly: congratulations on your little man!!! Sounds like a great delivery!!! Re: Appetite: I lost mine a few weeks before I delivered, mostly due to no room. Too bad it came right back lol! Hope you are all doing well! Looking forward to more deliveries!!

that is exactly what happened to me the day I delivered! my cx stopped at 7am then caMe back gradually after 2pm and at 832 Finn was born! I hope this is it for you! Its great to hear all these stories!!!!!

Finn Thomas came yesterday after all!!!!!!!! He was born at 832 pm. 7lbs12oz, 20 inches. I was not expecting that! As I had complained about earlier yesterday in the day, my cx that woke me up stopped around 7am so I figured I would just wait for the induction. Then around 1pm I started getting painful cx, much more…

well so much for baby today. I had contractions every 7-10 minutes from 245-7am, and since then maybe one or 2 cx. WTF :angry: :explode: :grumble: :mad: :angry: :explode: Needless to say, I am not happy and absolutely exhausted. Looks like I will just have to wait to be induced tomorrow. :sad:

We don't have names picked out either! I am pretty sure the baby is coming today, I have been having contractions every 10 minutes for the past hour but this has happened before so I don't want to get too excited. And why is it that labor always happens in the middle of the night???

I got up this morning and had some light bleeding, so I ended up having to go into the hospital and get checked out to see if it was my water, or placenta, or just mucous plug or what. I was due yesterday so I was hoping they would keep me, but no. I am home now. :frown: Baby looked fine, placenta was fine and probably…

Today is my due date and it looks like I wont be going yet. I was certain I was in labor last night. Started getting cramping around 9pm then by 11 full on contractions every 5-10 minutes that lasted all night. I was up all night long and at 4am I even got dressed and got my bags ready cause I was sure that within an hour…

nothing new here. I was really expecting to go into labor by this point, and disappointed because as of 5pm today my dr is on vacation for the next week, so she definitely wont be the one delivering the baby :( I have had off and on painful contractions, but nothing is sticking. I already get up every 1.5-2 hrs to go to…

Had my39 wks visit today. 2-3cm dilated. Now I just need cx! Feeling a little cramps so not sure if that is anything!

I have been so hungry too!!!! I have 5 days and counting and hopefully my little guy is here! Dr appt tomorrow so hopefully find out if I am floating army more! Sounds like everyone is doing great!

39weeks today and we are in the middle of a heat wave!!! Anyone have any babies yet????

yay for july!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 12 days and counting for me! Hopefully sooner! How is everyone doing?

Thank you for posting. I am not crazy about dates, but I will do anything to speed things along. Started eating them a few days ago and I have hopefully only 2 weeks to go!

I had an ultrasound at 36 weeks for the same reasons (and did the same hanging off the couch/chiro lol) and my baby was small at that visit as well, 5 lbs and I think 10oz. The dr wasnt concerned at all. THose are just estimates remember and at this point they are gaining 1/2 lb per week or so!

Hi Ladies! How is everyone doing? I just had my 37 week visit. A little over 2 1/2 weeks to go!!!! Cant wait. I am sooo hoping I go early (of course, doesnt everyone). This heat is really starting to get to me. It was 92 yesterday and supposed to be 95 today and my husband hasnt put in the ac yet. I still have to get the…

has anyone started preparing for birth by getting car seat in car and packing bag? I cant remember when i did this with my dd (she will be 8!!). I have 3 weeks and 3 days to go (not that I am counting lol). I havent gotten anything like that ready. I am holding off on carseat because we travel alot and I want to wait as…

Yes! I started going to a chiropractor who did the "Webster technique" which helps open the pelvis and make more room for the baby down low. The night after the first adjustment I was woken up at 3am feeling nauseous and tons of movement (which is exactly what she told me to expect) and I am certain that is when the baby…

36/2 and finally the baby has turned!!! Yippee! counting down the weeks/days/minutes/hours lol. Starting to get uncomfortable. Hope you all are doing well!
