Pitocin?
I am so glad I found this group on here because it has gotten me thinking about a lot of things from my last L&D experience and how I want to do things this time. I will tell my story as briefly as I can and then ask what I want to ask, so please bear with me. When my son was born in January 2011, I went into labor…

Fun topic - If you could keep one thing...
Pregnancy has some perks, so I figured let's bring them up :smile: If you could keep one feature/perk, physical or otherwise, from your pregnancy, what would it be? So far it would have to be my boobs. They're enormous and haven't darkened (yet), and they look awesome in my sports bra. From last time, I would have liked to…

Strength Training
How many of you ladies are doing strength training (weights, etc.)? If so, what exercises do you do? My legs do plenty of strength work when I do cardio, so I want to work on my arms still. I have 3-lb and 8-lb weights at home and a stretchy band thing. I used to do knee push-ups and want to start back up again by doing…

Zombies Running Game
My sister found this and said that it is also available for Droid phones: https://www.zombiesrungame.com/ She and I run at night, and she said she gets freaked out enough at night imagining zombies appearing out of the woods, that she doesn't need something else to scare her :) I think it sounds like fun! I just wanted to…

Exercise and the Scale
Hi all, I have a question about exercise and actually seeing movement on the scale. My sister's been doing Couch to 5K, and she encouraged me to join her last week. Last Sunday (a week ago today) we did a week 2 workout. On Monday we did a week 3 workout, Tuesday I did a baby and mama yoga class (45 minutes, some of which…

Baby and Mama Yoga?
LivingSocial currently has a great deal on four baby and mama yoga classes for $19. It is for moms/dads and babies who are 2-8 months old. My son is nearly 6 months old. I have been wanting to get into yoga but have hesitated because (1) yoga studios are expensive and (2) I'd either have to find someone to watch my son…

Scale Recommendations Needed
Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a great Sunday! I need some help on my scale. I know I'm not crazy because my husband has the same problem, but my digital scale fluctuates WAY too much. For example, this morning I got on the scale first thing (post-bathroom), and it read 214.2. At first I was psyched - another .6…

Driver's License
For those of you who unfortunately live somewhere where your weight is on your driver's license, how far off are you from that weight, either above or below? I can't run and check right now, but I think mine says 155. When I lived in GA, it said 150, and at most I was only a few pounds off, at least for a while! Rebecca…

Higher-calorie day?
Hi all, I am new to MFP but certainly not new to weight loss (or grand attempts at it)! I had a lot of success a few years ago with Nutrisystem, going from 181 to 151.5 (I just could never hit that 30-pound mark for some reason), but now after having a baby in January my body has settled on a post-pregnancy weight of 234.…
