Pregnant and Overweight
Hi everyone! I have a beautiful 21 month boy and my husband and I found out that I'm almost 2 months pregnant again! I'm excited, but also scared. I was overweight with my first, but I had still lost 60 lbs before getting pregnant. It's been a hard journey to lose the weight again afterwards and I'm heavier now than with…

Been over a year, still hard to get Weight off...
Hello everyone! I've been a member since I gave birth to my baby boy in March 2014, but never really posted anything. However, while I'm thinking about it, I wanted to express my frustrations and see if anyone has any tips or advice that I can use.

Low Supply or Clogged ducts?
Hello ladies! I'm a brand new mama to a 3 week old, love every minute of it (could use some sleep, but that's ok). The only frustrating part of everything is getting milk for my baby boy. Unfortunately, I had to have an emergency C-section, so I knew it would take a little longer for my milk to come in, but when it did,…

Blood Pressure Issues :(
Hello all, hope everyone is doing well :smile: I thought I was ok... until yesterday when I went to the Perinatologist and then my OB. My BP had been fine the whole pregnancy, up until a couple of weeks ago when there was ONE high reading and the Dr wanted me tested for Pre-eclampsia. Well, everything came back negative…

Protein Powder
Hello all! Hope all is well with everyone :smile: I'm having trouble getting enough protein (usually not the case, but since going maintenance, it's been harder to hit) and I'm getting tired of having the same stuff like eggs, pork, chicken, peanuts, etc. Especially pork. It's like any pork chop we cook and season I can't…

Hair loss?
I naturally have very thick hair (I usually get it thinned out so it doesnt look bushy while having shorter hair), and I was thinking at first it was that time of year that my hair is shedding away, but even my stylist noticed how considerably thin it was and she thought I got it thinned out by someone else. When I…

Filling Snacks
Hello Mommies! The past 3-4 weeks I have gained about 10-12lbs (22lb total, I'm 23 weeks).. not sure if it's bc my appetite had increased big time, or some of it retaining water. I get up at 4:45 every morning, commute w/ my hubby, and we don't get home until 7:15-7:30 (our commute is 140 miles round trip.. DC commuters).…

Exercising during Pregnancy
Hello all! Today marks the beginning of my 14th week and I wanted to start exercising again. But I have a question about it. During my first month, I was doing Insanity (didn't know about the pregnancy at the time) and stopped right before I found out bc my lower back was killing me. Now that it seems to have gone away…

50 lbs in one year :)
I know it may not be a big number compared to others, but it's big to me, with more to come off for sure. This is the longest I've stuck it out with losing weight. I was a yo-yo dieter, wanting something with super fast results, but I finally had a talk with myself and realized it's going to be hard work and worth it. I'm…

Carbs/Sugar & Allergies
I noticed when I started doing low carb, my nose didn't feel stuffy at all and I could breathe normal again. I didn't think of the connection because I also took some allergy meds, but when I stopped the meds, I was still clear. Since I've become more lax about it and eating more sweets, I've noticed my sinuses have become…

Percentage for Fat
Hello all! I'm new to the Keto way... been doing low carb (well, lower than usual) and wanted to try Keto. I noticed it's heavier on the fat side, so I was wondering what percentage for my daily intake would be good? I changed it recently to 60%,

Hello all! I have a question. I was puting in info for a protein bar with net carbs and I noticed under Sugar Alcohols it had 'Other Carbs'. Anyone have an idea if it pertains to net carbs or just considered carbs? I didn't subtract it bc I wasn't sure. Thanks :)
