Started gaining weight PP... Accountability
I am almost 5 weeks postpartum. I initially dropped 20 lbs after delivery but for the last 2 weeks, I have been holding steady/gaining. I have 15 lbs (to 160 lbs) more to get to my preg preg weight and should get to 140 lbs to be where I was before/after my previous pregnancy. I have two older kids where I gained 50 lbs in…

OB close to work or home?
My other pregnancies this wasn't an issue but now we've moved cities. I have an hour commute by train each way. My second daughter was born at 33 weeks (I was also hospitalized for 5 days before that because my water broke) so I'm assuming that I'm having more appointments this time. I also always have heavy bleeding in…

Day 17
First time on a weekend! One kid emptied a whole Kleenex box during the workout. Good job on the 5lbs weights. In level 1 I mixed up 5/8 lbs but on level2 I use 5 lbs except on the chair squats/v flys where I use 3 lbs.

Day 15
Done. My weight is still unchanged but my waist is smaller. I am trying to focus on sticking with it to see the change that should eventually happen versus giving up and eating junk.

Day 16
Done. It is getting easier but I'm still dripping sweat by the end and so happy when the plank twists are over.

Suit question?
My husband is changing from a job where it was business casual to a suit and tie. If you need to wear a suit everyday, how many do you need? How often do you get them dry cleaned?

Using FSA to buy exercise equipment
Has anyone done this? Is it a hassle or straight forward. it says medically necessary. What does that mean? Does high cholesterol or depression count ? My husband is not overweight but does little exercise. He is seeing the doctor tomorrow and is going to ask but I want to know if it is realistic.

My December exercise challenge
Since I went back to work in October, my exercise has been crap. I used to go to the gym when I was a SAHM but now I'm no longer a member because of time. Since I've been at my job we've moved locations, all our accounts and ordering are different because we are no longer affiliated with the university and we are going…

Looking for busy parents for inspiration
So I have 2 kids (1.5 and 4.5y). I was a SAHM last year and I went to the gym 5-6 days a week and I ate decent with some binge issues. i started a new job in October and i think I've done one DVD. I knew I wouldn't be going to the gym but this is ridiculous! My eating has been horrible although I have been lucky I've been…

increasing protein without bars or powder?
I'm trying to up my protein but am struggling. I would prefer not to use bars or protein powder. With planning, I can get to 110g. I now have soy nuts, jerky and Greek yogurt in my snack options. on my exercise days if I want 30% protein I need over 150g. is the only way to get that high bars and powder?

sleep!
i need some! My 8m daughter slept great until we visited family for a couple weeks. Now she fights sleep, won't sleep more than 1-2 hours, wakes up when I lay her down, and is too restless to cosleep. Lack of sleep is screwing up my eating. I have binge issues that I seem to only have under control if i have 5 or more…
