    Nice walk, Susan. Hope that diaper wasn't too bad! Reese 'powerpoops' every 2 days. ugh. would much prefer several 'normal' ones each day that stay IN the diaper! I see facebook talk. I spend more time on there than cathe.com, since my phone is a bit more facebook friendly. PM me if u want my...

    Sounds like there were some good baby sleepers last night! Thanks to everyone for your food and sleep thoughts. I have a heating pad on my shopping list. The whole breastmilk thing and her waking did cross my mind when I was sleeping with her, which is why we now have a nightly fight over the...

    one more thing..any insight on how I can still be gaining weight?? In te past week, I've cleaned up my diet and have been working out. I'm now 9lbs from my goal weight--125 (was once only 5lbs away). I was holding steady at 131 for a long time, but in the past week, I've gained 3lbs!

    It's crazy...I work at Macy's, yet somehow can pass up so many tempting things to buy. BUT...start talking workout things here (now the gofit and the HRM), and it's time to hide my credit card! Susan- as for the nitrates in meat, there are nitrate free meats. Hormel makes prepackaged turkey...

    Susan-Caden's stitches are healing well. Melanie-I would be PO'ed to if my 'homebound' friend did that. grrr! I think I need to tinker around a bit more with my calories. 1800ish may be too many for my activity level and lack of milk production. I wish I could just workout more, but time...

    Susan-sounds like Kara had a great night! Hope she gives you that nap. Melanie-nice job on the 10lb/month weight loss each month! My scale is still stuck, even though I am eating better and moving more. I'm only down 2lbs from where I was the first day home and have 7lbs to go. It doesn't...

    Christine-so you did 2 workouts today? Whew! I was able to get out of the house today to get some groceries. Yes, that is a big deal to me! Since Reese hates her carseat, and I don't need her throwing a fit loud enough for the store to hear, DH watched her. The fresh air made my head...

    Good morning! Susan-no, I didn't get to my abs, so I will TRY to do a longer ab workout today, as I don't think I have it in me for my run. I have a nasty cold. If I'm feeling better later, maybe I can twist DH's arm into watching Reese for a bit while I step. Yes, I'm breastfeeding Reese...

    I never would have imagined all this talk about boobs and cabbage. :) I had such low supply with DS that when I stopped nursing, it was a non-event when it came to discomfort. As for Caden, he did need to get stitches. I had a great day of eating, until I was attacked, yes, attacked, by...

    Susan-I'm with you on the uninterrupted workouts. This morning was P90x shoulders, bi, tri. Reese gave me about 30 good minutes..the remaining 10 or so took forever, as I stopped to entertain her every couple minutes. I still have an ab workout to make up from being cut short yesterday. I WILL...

    NO! I never should have ventured over here---I may now have to buy Chaleen Extreme. grrr....enablers. One question though: how high impact is the cardio? Jen-so sorry about your dog but it definitely sounds like the right thing to do. melanie-I would love those coupons. I will get you my...

    Melanie- I run on the treadmill. I have rheumatoid arthritis. so running outdoors is too hard on my joints. Although I don't feel pain when I run, I know the pavement impact would't begood for my joints. I really don't even enjoy running, but I feel like it gives me the most 'bang for my buck'...

    Good morning! I think I'll give the check-in a try...hope I can keep up with who is who! Before I start off with a quick intro, please excuse any typos,missing commas, etc. The only time I use the internet is on my phone with baby attached to me! I'm a mom to two from Minnesota. Caden is...

    low supply=need fewer calories??

    thanks! I've thought about joining your check in, though I think I'd need to study up on who is who for quite awhile! :) Lack of sleep also makes me hold on to weight. Plus, since I am up several times through the night, I end up eating! I don't get a lot of activity, as Reese wants to be...

    Is this normal to already have tight clothes???

    Congrats on the pregnancy! I felt 'fluffy' early on with both of my pregnancies. I remember stressing during both of my pregnancies over my fast weight gain--I was up around 8lbs by the end of the first trimester. I had a lot of morning sickness and eating carbs (and eating often) was the only...

    low supply=need fewer calories??

    I had baby #2 almost 3 weeks ago and am frustrated that the scale has been stuck for 2 weeks--actually I've gained 2 lbs! pre-preg:125 delivery:146 Today:131 I was keeping my calories at around 2000, as I didn't want to compromise my already low milk supply. After trying what seems like...
