I don't have a midwife...I have a doctor and he knows I am trying to lose weight.. He isn't persistent on me continuing breast feeding. He acts like its more of my own personal choice. He only said to not cut calories in extreme because it can deplete my milk supply. I just wasn't sure IF I were to try and up my calories,…

Hmm thanks!!

How do you figure out how much to up your calories? Also if you up your calories then you would have to up your calories burned, right?? I ask because I'm currently breast feeding so I am supposed to eat an adequate amount to keep my milk supply up... Currently I get 1590 calories a day and usually burn only about 200 (can…

I'm 23 (24 on the 30th), 5'4 and my CW is 151. I had a baby 7 weeks ago and am trying to get back to my pre pregnancy weight of 130 (I gained 55-60lbs) while breast feeding.

So it's not super healthy? I just saw a lot of people saying they were eating it and wasn't sure... Thanks!

Lately I have multigrain Cheerios or rice chex (1cup) with 1/2c Chobani Greek yogurt (nonfat) and 1/4c activia vanilla flavor...mix together like a parfait! A little over 200 calories. You could add fruits (I can't have fruit) for sweetness.

Already did! Bought mine after my 22nd Bday last year. 32g wouldn't change a thing.

Also you should want to eat within an hour of waking. Otherwise your metabolism is crap...

Then I don't understand why you would make a public post about your problem?? Of course we are going to all try and support you and encourage you to do what (in reality) you need to do. A disorder like this is actually worse than being obese. Do you want help getting better or do you want to shrivel up and die? Either…

Totally agree. That's rediculous when a child is overweight. Kids are supposed to be active not sedentary. Bad parenting to buy mcdonalds every meal and let your kids eat BS all day. Pure laziness.. Different story if the child has a medical disorder causing this. My little sister hit 25lbs at 6yr old. She's tiny but no…

Wanted to add no other latex bothers me either. Just condoms...

When I would use regular latex lubricated condoms I would get little bumps that itched and would go away within an hour or so. I have to use polyisoprene condoms if we use one. Normally dont tho! Feels like a garbage bag!! Bare is best (when monogomous!)

I grew up with several girls who had eating disorders. The best thing you can do for yourself is seek help. You also have to WANT to change too... Good luck and know that we are all here to support eachother.

It's proven working out first thing in the morning makes your body more productive with burning cals thru the day. Working out later isn't bad it's just better early in the day.

I have either 1/2c oatmeal. Or 1/2 of a large banana with peanut butter. Or a slice of toast with peanut butter. You need something light for energy. Wait 20-30 then workout and eat after.

Sorry about your babies. I know how you feel a little...I lost 2 but both first Tri *hugs* You def are looking better and better. Keep up the good work and soon enough it'll be another 20lbs ;)

I'm not pregnant. You would not be allowed an hsg if you were because it would kill the baby/fetus! Thanks for the good luck tho :) I'm getting an hsg to check the shape of my uterus to make sure it's normal and there are no septums. Ive read other places of ladies taking a pain pill. They said I could take 800 mg of…

Well if they did I wouldn't be posting this would I? LOL I understand the risks of mixing pain meds and alcohol I'm not dumb. Thanks tho

Agh! Scary!! I'm still gonna take pain meds cause I'm not chancing any pain!! Lol I was thinking of even having a drink before too....

I should add I've had alcohol with pain pills before so I know what to expect..I just don't wanna mix two diff pain pills.

I remember reading that you only need to up your calories by 300 a day and that's not until 2nd or 3rd Tri. I would think eating to maintain would be good for now..I take prenatals with dha right now. Am also taking a diet pill which I'll definitely stop before we try!!! BUT I think eating to gain 1/2lb a week is a little…

I get strong intuitions about things. Like I'll foresee something happening before it does or know what will be said before it's said.. It's weird and I wish I'd write things down so then I can be like see I knew!!!!

I'm saying gross either way again! It's only hot if say a toned male is wearing jeans and it's showing off those muscles that go down to the zazeech..lol my husband does it for me. That's the only time a guy should go comando. Or under swim trunks. Otherwise I think Nasty poop marks on the inside of pants and if a guy…

You should post the pics without them stretched..like the normal original pics. You can still tell a difference and that's awesome! But the pics are a little distorted..

I'm a size 4 in misses. 5 in jrs. I wear a 32g which is almost the same as a 34f ...I have no trouble finding suits anywhere.

But when I found it, it looked like a bag of cottage cheese and so I thought butt implants would be nicer and have less of a resemblance to golf ball divets

Lol yes!

And jogged until my butt fell off

Only commando for sexy time lol or sometimes for bed. Any other time I say gross!

Sugar is sugar...your body can't tell good from bad. That being said your caloric intake is what determines weight loss. Sugar can add to fat but all in all it won't prevent weight loss unless you're severely consistently over.
