For the postpartum mamas
Hi moms! I am 8 weeks postpartum and am having some problems and was wondering if I was the only one. I delivered almost 2 weeks overdue and had a VERY long labor that ended with 5 hours of pushing before they decided to do a c-section. And, after the birth, my milk never increased over 4 oz a day and I got a horrible rash…

What do you ask a doula???
I'm meeting a doula this weekend to see if we want to hire her for the birth. Right now I don't really know what to ask her! I do want to make sure that we have a connection and I feel comfortable with her. Did you use a doula and if so what are some important things to ask at the first meeting? Thanks for the help! I LOVE…

1st trimester headaches
Anyone else have 1st trimester headaches? I get about 1 a week and they are bad. I hate to take medication, I'd rather find some relief naturally if I can. Anyone have any tips or tricks to beat them?

Short of Breath
Hi ladies, Do any of you have any tips for dealing with shortness of breath when you are exercising? I am about 9 weeks and I get winded very easily when I try to work out. I looked online and it looks like it is pretty normal due to the bodies increased need for oxygen, but it makes it tough to work out. It isn't severe,…

G.I. Joe lied to you
Repost from my status (Sorry to those who have to see it twice!): OK, Day 3 of my 30 days wasn't spectacular (are you seeing a trend here, because I am!) I didn't eat the best, I barely got all of my water in and I didn't drink as much tea as I would like and I am reading the Hunger Games right now so I stayed up WAY too…

Day 2 of 30: Fail Here's to making day 3 a good one!
I'll repost this from my status: OK, so Day 2 of the 30 Day Challenge wasn't anything to write home about. After the crazy lunch at the Mexican restaurant, I didn't improve my day any with dinner. My fiancé was sweetly thinking of me when he brought home a bacon cheese burger with fries and cheese curds. Yep, the fried…

The REAL number this time!
Yesterday, I renewed my drivers license and, when he asked "How much would you like to weigh today?" I was able to tell him 20 pounds less than what was on my last license! (And yes, for those of you doing the math, that means I didn't fess up to the 20 EXTRA pounds the last time I was asked this question! :laugh: ) This…

Haven't been this size in over 7 years!
So, I always feel so guilty when I post my success, but to tell the truth everyone around me is sick of hearing about it so I have to tell someone! :laugh: I have bought my first pair of size 10 pants in over 7 years. I haven't been a size 10 since 2002! I never thought I would be in this position again...with the goal SO…

Running advice appreciated :)
I am looking for some running advice from some of you experienced runners. :happy: Here's the story. I just started running and love it, but after my running I would have some soreness on the outside of my upper legs as well as just overall aches. I was running in the gym shoes I had had for years, so I figured it was my…

Just the beginning...
I just wanted to share that today is the first day that people noticed I was losing weight! I really didn't expect it to happen that fast (usually people who see me everyday are the last to mention it!) but I was walking through our office today and one of my co-workers said "Girl, those pants are getting really baggy on…
