I love yoga and pilates. Anybody doing Crossfit? I'm intrigued but kind of shy about trying it.

Weird how people think it's appropriate to talk about ANYONE'S body. My mother always said not to make personal remarks.

I'm excited! I'm trying new activities/exercises/food choices, would love to share ideas & encouragement. My main issues are negative body image and a middle-aged metabolism.

You don't look overweight, according to you photo. Maybe exercise will help you feel happier with your body.

My concern (and I'm not a lactation specialist!) is that you may not be consuming enough calories if you are breast feeding. Just a thought. Don't deny yourself nutrition, especially if you are sharing it with a baby. Some women feel that breast feeding actually helps them get back to pre-pregnancy wt, but others say that…

"The Four Day Body" has a n eating program you might be interested in--the author is insane but tries everything (food/workouts) on himself, has done so much trial and error. It is do-able, definitely. And fun reading!

Some pilates moves work this are.

Read something that relates, really good blog: allfit-happy.blogspot.com. Take care!

I'm a newbie. Can you assign me a team?

I think you are supposed to aim for 10,000 steps per day. Not sure where this number came from, but you see/hear it a lot. Some people in my family find it useful--reminds them to keep moving.
