I like a challenge. I ran the disney princess in 2013 and had only run upto 6 miles prior due to illness throughout training. Then I trained for another month knowing I could do it and took 30 minutes off my time for the clearwater half in April 2013. June 2013 I found out I was pregnant. I have been running since late…

I feel your pain I've only lost 20 of my 50 lbs and my son is 5 weeks. I too am breastfeeding and I try to make healthy choices however my son has colic and is sensitive to shellfish, dairy, broccoli and raw spinach and anything spicy. That and after eating and drinking a few cups of water I'm still hungry..my appetite is…

We already use earth balance and other types of vegan butters...it will require more scratch made things as a lot of products contain milk in them.

I am due in February with my second baby and I will have about 45-50lbs to lose of baby weight and an additional 15 on top of that to get to my goal weight. Full time mommy and nurse so I understand the lack of time...feel free to add me...

My son is due in feb...he is my second. I only gained 25 lbs with my daughter and it took 6 months to get it off. I'm almost 30 weeks and I'm already at 30 lbs...it is going to take a lot of work this time around.

Hi ladies...my fiance and I are looking to have our ceremony in August in Jamaica...We had a baby 8 months ago so I am still trying to get that weight off. Plus I am a nurse who works 3 day shifts and 1 night shift a week. So needless to say I eat at weird hours and often dont eat well at work. Looking to get toned so that…

karen...forget him! Do what makes you happy and when you look too thin at your goal weight i'd tell him oh well im healthy and look and feel amazing!

I'm 5'7 and 5 months after baby i'm 146...my goal is 128. Hoping to be there by my birthday in April!

I have the Polar FT40 and love it. It's set for me, it tells me how long I worked out, how many calories I burn, what percentage of them is in my fat burning zone and how much was in my fitness/anaerobic zone. It holds past data if i forget to chart it here. There are more complex ones that do more things but for me…

Good experiences with Baltimore, Orlando and Atlanta....detest Newark and Miami airports!

I cant imagine how difficult it is to lose weight with 3 small children. I have a 3 month old and work full time and its difficult. There are plenty of full time moms on here who get what you're going through! Good luck...YOU can do it!

well i wore my hrm....and 10 hours of my shift, bc i forgot to restart after one of my breaks, burned 2800 cals.

i do the slightly active setting even though like you i'm always walking/standing, thank God for support hose, but my days off are still hectic as i have an infant.

well i work in the icu on days...most days im super busy and am lucky if i get a 30 min lunch break. I cannot wear a watch on my unit due to infection control...i might try locking the watch and sticking it in one of my scrub pockets

welcome....i've been on mfp on and off for a year or two, but am a new mom also trying to shed the baby weight and a few extra pounds. It's a whole new ball game trying to do it with a newborn. Feel free to add me...good luck!

I will be starting once the doctor clears me. My goal is to run a half marathon but i have not run in over a year so I will start here and then start a half marathon training program.

a daily multivitamin is good regardless of the hair situation, especially a prenatal multivitamin. Also biotin, it helps with skin, hair and nails...and also hydration. WATER WATER WATER!

welcome and congratulations on your little one. I will soon be in the same boat as you, I'm not coordinated enough for the chalean program so once I am cleared I will start out with p90x, until then its walking. I know I will need the support...plus it would be nice to have someone going through some of the same things.

All those could be factors, along with how often your eating?!?! It is best break your calorie content up into 5 to 6 small meals a day, i know its difficult for some but it can be done. That way your constantly keeping you metabolism up and keeping your portion size low. Also do you keep measurements? I like to weigh…

I agree with the not eating enough. Also how often are you eating? There is a huge difference in eating 5 to 6 small meals throughout the day and just consuming your calories in 2 or 3 sittings. Also water, water, water!!! If you get bored of plain water throw some citrus in such as lemons, limes, or orange slices.

Welcome! This program definitely help me achieve my goals before. I took a hiatus from MFP during my pregnancy and am now slowly getting back into it to help with my post partum recovery and becoming a hot mom. This time around will be different as I will, like you, be a full time mom, worker, and partner! Congrats on your…

Due any day now and have my insanity dvds awaiting once i am cleared post partum! Until then i will be eating right and taking walks....cannot wait to start a "hardcore" workout again but also understand that my body needs rest and recovery during this time!

yes there is a difference i the part of the glute and quad it works. I tend to do 3 sets of 12-15 with lunges. The first set I do a forward lunge, 2 set i do either a side lunge or 45 degree and the 3rd set i do a reverse lunge...that way I work all planes of motion building a stronger joint and hit all the angles of my…

I just bought online yoga during pregnancy: with experience (they have one without experience as well), quick fix prenatal and postnatal workouts, and the perfect pregnancy workout volume 1. Once they come and I can try them out I will let you know. I'm jealous you can at least walk outside it is snowing every other day…

I am 5'7 and my goal weight is 129... I reached this weight 2 years ago and l looked the best ever, toned but still curvy. So I would like to return to that. If you have a ideal weight set and you reach it and still arent satisfied, make a new goal....its really trial and error.

thanks i definitely need to invest in a running belt...I do have great running shoes and have under armour socks to allow my feet to breathe. My half is labor day weekend...excited and nervous!

Here are 2 options...i prefer the 1st. http://www.fitsugar.com/Beginners-Half-Marathon-Training-Schedule-2845222 http://www.marathonrookie.com/half-marathon-training.html

I use muscle milk products and they are by far the best testing (and I've tried several other brands) and they have a variety of flavors, my personal favorite is the pb chocolate flavor.

Agave is what I try to stick with but I do use splenda especially since you can bake with it.

Welcome! I completely understand where you are coming from...but it can be done. I am back in school again and living on a limited budget and limited time. Things I've found useful for food are : making a few healthy meals on sunday and portion them out to use on throughout the week, trader joe's offers some pretty healthy…
