  • I've recently been diagnosed with Hashimotos and hypothyroidism after gaining 30lbs in 3 months with no change to diet and exercise . Thyroid has a major part to do with metabolism! Yes weight loss is still calories in versus calories out but which hypothyroidism and levels that are not optimal while others may burn 1900…
  • Maybe I should state that I am certified in nutrition. While I don't have degrees in anatomy I know many personal trainers that do not. Isn't that what my education while getting my personal training would provide me with. I have to say that I'm very disappointed in the negativity of some of you. Just because you are…
  • I wasn't really asking to be criticized for my interest. Being up on new trends I think is important as I feel you need to know them to answer any question your client may have on them. If i have a client ask me if eating for their body type or eating only in certain hours of the day would work I would want to be familiar…
  • I've been a college athlete and have lost over 130lbs myself. While I don't have any degrees in fitness education I have self taught myself enough to lose weight myself, ideally I would like to target obese women or new moms as I have been both. For me it's the whole been there done that. So it sounds like getting into a…
  • Hey! I have been taking folate and do see a difference, I was not advised to take aspirin though, what is the purpose of it in this case?
  • The testing was done at the hospital and read by the lab there. I also do have diabetes so I know it had caused some issues
  • I was given foods to eat that are high in folate but it's pretty generic. I guess maybe I'm more looking for go to meals since the list looks boring. Lol.
  • I am 6'2" and was 220 pre pregnancy. I gained a lot while pregnant even when I watched what I ate and exercised up until delivery. I am now 5 weeks post partum and have only gotten down to 262. My goal was to get to 220 by the first day of summer but I don't see that happening now. My weight the past 2 weeks has completely…
  • I havent had my baby yet ( due in 6 days) but i have been reading alot about SIDS ( as i am also very paranoid). From what I have read letting the baby sleep on her side is fine. I would worry about covering her with a blanket though. Do you happen to have one of those sleepsacks? You could put her in that to help keep her…
  • I am really really hoping to see that half the weight comes off in the first couple of weeks!!!!
  • I agree. I honestly dont want any of those pictures floating around on FB with me looking like a drugged out homeless person ( lets be honest no women is going to look her best after being in labor for who knows how long!) I also want to be the one to post the baby picture, I will be seriously pissed if someone else does…
  • 6'2" size 11 shoe. I was 215lbs before becoming pregnant and have gained about 67lbs with one week left. I am hoping to get back to my pre pregnancy weight soon though. I was 195 but was unable to maintain that for very long. My body seemed to be happy at 215
  • One week until i am induced. Holy Cow I cant believe that i only have one week or less until i get to meet my baby!!!!
  • Well i am in my last week and i will probably not be weighing myself anymore. Totaly of 67lbs at 39 weeks. Ugh... I sure hope i get released to exercise soon after having the baby.
  • Eating the lunch meat cold at anytime is bad. I agree with everyone else. Just microwave the lunchmeat at work then put it on your sandwich. I have just been eating egg salad and pb&j sandwiches because i dont want to mess with making my sandwich at lunch.
  • So excited for you! Good luck thursday and make sure to let us all know how it goes!
  • Who from this group is still pregnant!!!!! I AM. Induction on 12/27 unless Baby Colton decides to come sooner!
  • ^^^^ This. Biggest waste of money for me. I think i wore it like 2 times and said screw it. I just did the rubber band trick for a while
  • yes it is. I am 6'2" so i think that helps me carry the weight bettter. Still it sucks to have to lose that much. lol
  • Well even though i think alot of the 6lbs i gained in this past week is mostly water I am still reporting it as a gain. So 38 weeks and up 63 STINKING pounds. Ugh.
  • YESSSSS! I have been waiting anxiously for this post!!!! Congrats!
  • You are sooooo correct that people push the Medela pump way to much. Looking at the price there was absolutely NO WAY i was going to be buying one. After talking to my midwife and nurses the Ameda seems to be the best choice and the price is not bad at all. I recently found out that I will not have a job when i am done…
  • I have never heard of that brand and to be honest it doesnt seem like there are enough reviews to sway me personally to buy it. I would wait to see if more ppl review it. I have looked into the Ameda Purely Yours. http://www.amazon.com/Ameda-Purely-Yours-Breast-Pump/dp/B004E9SW7G/ref=pd_cp_ba_2 this was actually the pump…
  • I have been wearing my older victorias secret underwear. I have about 6 pairs that were old and in danger of being pitched. i have just been wearing them and wil get some new ones once the pregnancy is over. These were all low cut so i havent had any issue with my belly making them roll. honestly i think those who have…
  • What type of inhaler do they have your using? if using it before runs is not working, i would take the inhler with you to use it when needed
  • I have exercise induced asthma and have had it for years. I have been able to control it very well while exercising intensely. I have noticed that most flare ups will be when i am running outside when its hot out. In this case i will use my proventil inhaler BEFORE starting my run. For working out in the house or gym i…
  • You will probaly have a ten minute long pee and lose it all later today. lol. Dont worry about the weight. You will see your beautiful baby boy tomorrow!
  • Exactly!!!! Beast mode is on as soon as those 4 weeks are up!!!
  • ^^^^ This. Or they say " you know you dont have to be superwoman" . I would like to try natural also but want the option for an epidural if i need one. Most people think i am trying to be some kind of martyr because I would prefer going natural. I will be in a hospital so its not like im attempting this at home. I have…
  • well i was planning on needing to pump alot but i have recently been told that I will not have a job after the end of the year ( basically when i would go on maternity leave) so i guess now i will be a stay at home mom till i am able to find a job. I will most likely just buy a manual pump for now since i wil be home all…
