Thanks, I have been doing it that way without any thought but I REALLY worked my shoulders a couple days ago and am still sore from it and was just thinking about it today when I was working on my back because I could feel the soreness Just wanted to make sure that I wasn't messing up the healing process and taking two…

For everyone hating on my "clean eating" comment: I eat clean because I find that I can eat a larger volume of food for the same amount of calories vs the calorie dense junk food that I see many IIFYM people eat. This ensures that I'm not constantly feeling hungry, which happens easily since I breastfeed. I also started…

To clear up the confusion: My BMR is 1310 To lose "weight" MFP sets my calories to 1200 (I'm trying to lose fat, not weight though) I automatically add 500-600 calories because I breastfeed, sometimes more If my son is going through a growth spurt I add back calories that I lose from working out which is usually between…

I have a birth control implant and I actually just checked about a month and a half ago because I was have "morning sickness" like symptoms, but I'm not pregnant (I live in TX and my husband is stationed in Cali so I haven't gotten pregnant since I checked). I also add 500-600 calories to my calorie goal for breastfeeding

None of my calorie numbers that I've posted include the calories I eat back from working out, so I actually end up eating around 2100 but with the exercise deficit MFP says 1800

Right now I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm trying to lose fat and everyone keeps telling me to be in a calorie deficit for that. I had my child 10 months ago (yes I just turned 20) and I did notice I had diastasis recti. It was originally 2 fingers wide and I did alot of core compressions and worked on my posture and…

Sorry, I should have clarified more, my BMR is around 1310 but to lose weight MFP sets it to 1200, everythiing that I've read said to lose belly fat I need to lose fat all around so that's why I've set it to lose weight

I should also say that I rest about 20-30 seconds between sets and 2 minutes between different exercises But by the end of the second set I can really feel the struggle and the last 5 or so reps of the last set I have to pause between reps and kind of push a bunch of energy into those muscles just to do the reps. Sometimes…

Oh, and this isn't a weight loss tip but it's useful. Start moisturizing your skin now! Preventing stretch marks is alot easier than treating them once they're there. Just be careful with cocoa butter formulas, some women can have an allergic reaction especially later on in the pregnancy even if they were using it before,…

Eating for two is a myth if you're eating two *meals*. Doctors say to only eat about 300-500 more calories than normal, of course talk to your dr about your amount because that's just an average. I wouldn't try to lose weight during pregnancy, just maintain it, your body is already going through enough as it is. Maybe you…
