I'm here!! I hope the group keeps up or picks up. I've been a sporadic poster, but I really like coming here. Kristine: Hope you and Heidi are feeling better. My son Sachin has been sick as well with his first cold. He's also in a good mood. It looks/sounds like he's going to choke on...

Stacey, *I* am the broken record, talking about it--it's just frustrating to be one of the more active people around and struggle with very slow weight loss. I appreciate everyone's encouragement and hope my stories will help anyone else in my situation who is stumbling across these posts. I...

Glad to see everyone loves Low Max, I do, too! My current living room is set up where I have a hard time stepping, there just isn't a lot of space and it would take a LOT of effort to move my furniture around. (Especially with a newborn's activity gear everywhere!) I can modify Low Max...

Hi Kristine, Your workout was great this week! I hear you on the breastfeeding and I think you will see changes. I breastfed for a few months (I had numerous complications and had to stop) and during that time, I didn't lose even one ounce. So much for bf'ing helping you lose weight. Not...

Hello everyone! Last week was so-so, but not too bad: M- Off T-Ran 50 min. & some ab stuff W-Chest, Shoulders & Triceps and another lower body tape Th-Ran 60 min. Fri-Off Sat-Callanetics Sun-Ran 45 min. @ the gym, had a meltdown, had to go home. As I mentioned, or bemoaned rather...

Chrissy, No, I'm not still bf'ing. I held out until 8 weeks, and I stopped. My son had a tight frenulum and couldn't latch properly, which caused a whole slew of issues and infections. I went so far as to have the frenulum clipped, no luck with the latch/sucking. So I pumped and fed him that...

Chrissy, You're so brave to raise the topic of more babies with a 5-week old! :) My boy is 15 weeks, and I can't think about it yet. My husband is ready for another, naturally--he doesn't have to do much!! I love my son SO much I cannot imagine having another now, I want to give him all my...

Hi Erin, Thanks for the welcome, I love coming here and hope I can do so regularly. WOW--you are doing a lot for 2 months postpartum, that is wonderful! I wouldn't gauge weight loss as "slow" after this short of a time. You're doing great! I remember my first jog about 5 weeks after...

I'm finally in sync with the postings! I've been trying to post every week as an outlet for insanity and to get inspiration to press on with my post partum weight loss, but I've happened to log on when there wasn't a post. Last week was no good, I only worked out once (a long jog) in 7 days...

Hi Diane! I am 14 wks. postpartum, and I wish I had my body back, but it's not even close! Not to be discouraging, but hopefully ENcouraging by telling you don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed. I went into it thinking I could exercise, control calories and all would be fine...

Hi Manmohini, I had a number of feeding issues, so I've tried it all! As the previous posts says, the hospital grade pump is indeed heavy and not something you'd want to tote around by any means. It would look/feellike carrying a case of concert equipment! However, this was the only...

Thanks Stacey Your comment about the 3-mo. thing is sort of what I wanted to hear...I feel like there must be some other reason to this and a "magic date" when things start to improve. I did ask the dr. (my beloved OB is on her own maternity leave so I am stuck with someone I don't...

Needing some consoling and cheering on... Hi everyone, This is my first time to this section of the forum, I've met nice and supportive people like Stacey on this site. Thanks! STACEY: Hope you're feeling good today, I feel for you. My boy is two months old and just thinking about him...

Stacey- Thanks for writing! I appreciate your breastfeeding empathy. It's too much to get into here, but I am sure you know where I'm coming from and that's really comforting. It's been a big source of anxiety--like a new mom doesn't deal with enough other stuff. Congrats on your weight...

Lori- NO kidding about the legs! I always look at them and wonder about all the dimples and lumps and the way they spread like my cat's belly when he's relaxin'! Very cute about your son. I love your photos, btw! :) Cathy

Hi Lori, Good info, thanks. I have been trying to nurse, and pumping, but we've had a multitude of problems from thrush to tongue tie and more so I am not sure how much longer I'll be able to continue. I had yet another dr. appointment about this yesterday! I am sure all this stress isn't...

Good for you, it sounds like you made a lot of progress! Congrats on your son, also. What concerns me is that I didn't leave the hospital with 20 lbs. off like you did, and everyone else I know. I am only down 14 lbs. at 6 weeks pp. I was very active throughout my pregnancy, going to prenatal...

Thank you. It's so hard when you're using to being among the fittest, then all of a sudden the body has a mind of its own. Luckily, I do feel like I look a bit better than the weight alone would indicate, everyone seems to marvel at me "getting the weight off" but it's still there. 25 lbs. to...

Thanks for the info and the kind words. Yes, I am breastfeeding, or trying to...we've run into a number of problems from thrush to tongue tie so I am doing my best. I thought, sheesh, if breastfeeding is supposed to help you lose weight, where would I be otherwise?! It's good to hear that...

Thanks, Trish. It's hard for me because I've always been active and pretty thin. I am surprised to see the weight being so stubborn. I know 6 weeks isn't a lot of time, but like your 2nd pregnancy, I thought I'd have 20-25 lbs. off about now, naturally. :-( It's so hard to be patient...
