Age: ALMOST 35 Height: 5'8 Highest weight (post twin pregnancy) 192 Current weight: 164 Goal: 150 Married working mom of 3 kids (5 yr old daughter / twin 2 year old boys) - I run 2-3 days a week during lunch, Bowflex lift weights 2 or 3 days a week as well. I'm at the same weight/size as when I got pregnant with our twins…

Embrace your new size with a bra overhaul! Go get sized at VS and splurge on a bunch of new, make you feel sexy bras. Knowing that you are shrinking in all areas can be a bit of a cage-rattler but make sure you are embracing the changes your body is going through and flaunt what you do have! When my boobs shrank after…

We usually try to skip eating out on the weekends all together but yes - there are times when Wendy's or McD's is easier than eating at home. I prefer Wendy's since they have awesome and filling salads but do love a big old cheeseburger! Since we have 2 babes (10 months) and a 4 year old; we try to find somewhere that…

I love the 5 lbs in 5 days plan by Jason Vale. It breaks out your day nicely and the recipes are super easy to follow. You can get everything at a major grocery store and even go organic for most of the ingredients if you choose to. You have to 110% commit to the Juice to make it work. I did a 5 day plan about 6 weeks ago…

I'm having a heated discussion with my super fit - non mom friend about her helping me on a "diet plan." I'm not at my pre-baby weight (20ish lbs to go) but they are only 9.5 months old. I work out with ShaunT & the T25 crew 5 days a week; eat pretty well and am not going to spend 3-4 hours on a Sunday prepping meals to…

I started making purees around 5 months - carrots, sweet peas, butternut squash. Applesauce, bananas, pears, avocados, cooked soft noodles, scrambled eggs, toast are all on the menu for our 9.5 month old twins now. They had a long bought of illnesses (pneumonia & RSV) during the winter and were on a rice cereal &…

I have been on Errin (mini-pill) BC Pill 6 weeks after both pregnancies. My OB gave it to me after my 1st born and it did not affect my milk supply negatively. We nursed until she was close to a year old. I stopped taking it and BOOM - pregnant with the twins after 1 period. After my 2nd pregnancy, I got right back on it…

I'm a fan. My husband & I did the 10 Minute Trainer program a couple of years ago after our daughter was born. We saw the infomercial for T25 and started using it once I was cleared for exercise by my OB-GYN after having our twins this summer. I really like the program! We just restarted Alpha since we dropped the ball…

HI! I am also a mom of twins (fraternal boys, 9 months) and a 4 year old daughter. My husband & I are restarting T-25 back at Alpha this afternoon since we spiraled out of control once Beta started and skipped more days than we worked out. We both work and the kids are at daycare all day long. We typically get home and…

Almost cracked into the 170's - slowly getting back to where I'd like to be after the twins pregnancy. February has been rough - everyone has been sick; it's been so freaking cold out that we feel house-bound & crazy. I was not seeing any success so I stopped logging for a couple of weeks and LOST 5 lbs. How the hell does…

Hey! I love love LOVE T25 - it's a fantastic routine that actually works. We used the 10 Minute Trainer to shed baby weight after my first pregnancy and this is a great step-up. Very cardio-centric, lots of plyo type moves and you will sweat your butt off. It's just long enough to know you have worked out but in under 30…

Cripes. I might want to revise my goal... My goal is way higher than what others are aiming at. Maybe 160 isn't a goal but another step in not being a chubby housewife & working mom.
-
I had HUGE breakouts from 1) hormone changes after pregnancy 2) changes after I stopped nursing 3) working out! I use this ClearProof set from Mary Kay - I know, I know. But it works way better than Pro-Active did and it's very gentle. Took about 2 weeks for it to clear out my skin and it's a great solution. I can get you…

I really try to only make one meal for the family - I don't like to make 3 dinners a night! We do sit down to eat together every night as it's really important to both of us to have that family time. We put the babes in their highchairs & pull them right up to the table with us. Our daughter generally gets the same meal as…

I've had 2 c-sections 3 years apart and have my stretch marks on my thighs more than my stomach. My stretch marks were close to gone after a year of hard work and a decent diet. When I got pregnant the 2nd time with our twins, I did get a few marks on my belly but they are starting to fade now that I'm back to working out…

I don't see the parody but really want a cheeseburger now...

This is actually up for discussion?? MFP is falling apart...

My hubby & I have been on a juicing kick (week 2 almost completed) and we schedule our 2nd juice of the day to be around 3:30 just as that "I need a snack" craving hits. We have a protein shake for breakfast (7:00 ish) - 1st juice around 10:30/11:00, 2nd around 3:00-4:00; workout at 5:00; protein shake at 5:30 and then a…

We are finishing Alpha today & start Beta on Monday!

Hey ladies!! My name is Miranda and my hubby & I were lucky enough to welcome twin boys last June and our beautiful daughter turns 4 in March. We are freezing our butts off in MN - anyone else in the tundra?? We both work full-time and somehow, have managed to build in 30 minutes a day (well M-F) for using the…

We are just ending a 5 day juice diet today and get to eat again tomorrow (YAY). We've been day-dreaming & planning out what we want to eat and I think that might be what we need to do going forward on ALL weekends. I have been making baby-food for our twins and we try to eat smart for our daughter and give her good food…

We have 3 kids - a 3.5 yr old daughter & 7 month old twin boys. We both work and the kids are in daycare full-time. Once we get home (around 4:45 pm), we get changed and head down to the basement for our daily T25 workout. It takes 28 minutes total so it's just enough time to get sweaty but not too long where the kids…

When we found out I was pregnant with our daughter, I didn't have any physical symptoms but things that were bad for me (beer, cigarettes) tasted HORRIBLE! That was my first tip that lead me to buying 5 tests and all of them being positive. We were not trying at the time & it was a total surprise. When I got pregnant with…

I had to increase to 2100 cal/day for a while to account for nursing twins for 6 months but now that I'm not nursing I'm back on 1200 cals/day. Well, except this week & next when I am doing 5 days of juicing (M-Fri plan).

From Halloween 2013.

Oh man - that sounds SOOOOOOOOOO good!
-
Juicing is really not a 'fad' or a 'diet' and it's certainly not new. As most mothers do, I gained weight while pregnant (GASP) and was not able to diet due to the fact that I was nursing twins for 6 months. My husband had success with a juice diet after his doctor recommended a change due to his internal stomach issues…

Shakeology from Team Beachbody.com is the best breakfast shake out there. They have vegan and non-vegan formulas and tons of recipe ideas. Vanilla with frozen berries, chocolate with peanut butter - delicious!

Have you ever tried one, lady misery?
