I was doing great with back-to-school walking to & from school twice a day with my two little ones in the stroller--tried to do it at a good clip when I was on my own--threw in a few extra blocks here and there when I wasn't being rained on or didn't have somewhere to be that morning. Otherwise walking with babe in a…

My little one is seven months and I've just gotten back to pre-pregnancy weight, although I hadn't lost it all from the kids before him. :( We'll get there together. I'm also still breastfeeding, so I'm not cutting way back on the calories, but trying to just eat when I'm hungry and not because I didn't get enough sleep or…

I'm breastfeeding, too, and whereas I'm trying to track my calories, I'm not being super vigilant about it. My emphasis has been on cutting out sugar/junk, and doing some cardio every day. My babe is seven months old, but still almost exclusively breastfed. Cooking from scratch has made a huge difference for me personally.

Add me! I have five kids...oldest is 9 and all 52 pounds I gained with him just fell off by the time he was six months old. Not so for my other kids. Just got down to my pre-pregnancy weight from my fifth (seven months old now), but still about forty pounds to go. It's about me making choices to go for a walk instead of…

Ireland or Brasil.

I also perpetually gained too much weight when pregnant (e.g., starting out an "average" weight and packing on 50-55 pounds with a singleton pregnancy), finally with all the fallout, when I was pregnant the third time I said "not this time" and the biggest change I made was skipping the seconds and thirds on dessert…

Still absolutely amazing!! Think of all the years (healthy years, too!) that you've added to your life that you get to enjoy your kids. :) Bless you as your journey marches onward. :)

1) What are your goals for this week? Well, I've rather fallen off the wagon lately, going back to work after mat leave and trying to get back into the swing of my rotating shift schedule. So my goal this week is to work out every day, and on the days I don't get to the gym, to do a Jillian DVD at home. 2) What are your…

Holy crap! Great job.

And you look younger! :) Looking forward to hearing more about your journey as we go along....keep it up, girlfriend.

It's hard at first for sure.....I spent the first several days watching the time on the DVD, telling myself it's only 20 minutes.....it's been five minutes I can do another minute......The other great part is you switch exercises frequently, so you know you only have to do 1-2 minutes of each exercise.......I tell myself…

Grey's Anatomy! That's all the relationship drama I need in my life.

A few classics from when I was a teenager.......at a fast food restaurant that has "free refills" I'd return to the counter with an empty fry box and ask for my refill, citing the sign. Also we'd go through the drive thru and order food.......then come back through and ask for ketchup, when we got to the window I'd ask if…

Wow! Good for you, may you enjoy the next 45 years of your life even more than the last 45! :)

Did 12 days of the shred in late Jan/early Feb and then abandoned it.........but I'm thinking I need to be getting on this. I'm also returning to work on June 3rd and would like to be in slightly better shape than when I left a year ago (9 months pregnant, LOL). This might be the fire I need.....feel free to add me as a…

Very nice legs!

Mouth's watering just thinking about it.....thanks for sharing!

Me with the kids, too, whenever I carry one (42 pounds) or the other (35 pounds) up the stairs, I wonder how I made it upstairs at all. (That would equal me at my highest pregnancy weight, and usually I was carrying the "little one" up the stairs with me, too.) And since my baby isn't crawling yet and a healthy 21 pounds,…

I didn't use MFP during my last pregnancy, but I acknowledged after my miserable second pregnancy with 55 pounds gained that I could not go through that again. I didn't count calories, just ensured that I ate lots of fruits and veggies, made sure I brought lunch to work so I wouldn't succomb to eating chocolate bars and…

Man, I wish someone would have told me this with my first! (Hello, 52 more pounds! You can't possibly be a result of three helpings of dessert every day, could you? Didn't think so.) But hey, with breastfeeding and taking my baby for a walk every day, I dropped that weight like a hot potato by the time he was 6 months…

I think the last sentence of the article sums it up well: 'What's not known is "whether the proteinuria associated with excessive fluid intake in these otherwise healthy people will affect their kidney function in the long term," the researchers wrote in this week's journal article.' And I'm sure it's more highly…

The only thing I can do (I'm the same as you--I enjoy me some food!) is just not buy it. And yell at my husband when he brings home two bags of Harvest Cheddar Sunchips for me ("But they're your favourite!" "Yes, that's why I can eat a bag in one sitting!"). If it's not in my house, I can't eat it. That's about all the…

AMAZING! Good for you, and yes be proud of that belly that brought six kids into the world! You look great. You inspire me as I'm kicking the baby weight back to where it came from, too. :)

Kind of an aside, but I'm almost 5'4". I went to the chiropractor at the ripe old age of 22 when I could no longer bend over to tie my shoes (this was pre-baby-weight-gain). He informed me that from all the car collisions I had been in, normal wear & tear, that my vertebrae were compressed, and left untreated they would…
