    I scored such a good deal last night! I got a $230 double stroller (which I've been NEEDING so we won't be housebound all day with the daycare kids) for $45!!! I've been looking for one for awhile, but since I didn't want the style where one kid sits in front of the other, finding an affordable one proved to be a challenge. Now LO can hang in the Ergo while I push the other two littles (7 months & 16 months) and the big girls can walk or ride their bikes. Love me some FB garage sale groups!
    I need to get on one and sell my P&T stroller... We had a real life yard sale last spring with all of our neighbors. Never again. I couldn't even handle it. We had a basket of nice, hardcover kids' books for twenty-five cents each. Some lady asked me if I'd take twenty cents. 

    Um. No. 

    That's how it was all day. I'm not going to haggle with people over a nickel. 

    If I didn't know you lived in another state, I'd say you were haggling with my grandmother. Seriously, a nickel?

    @TallAsh‌ I hate that! People are so weird. Our neighborhood allows garage sales twice a year. I rarely sell in them, but I've witnessed that sort of nonsensical bargaining when I've been out shopping them. It's ridiculous!

    I'm going to a baby expo with Bff this weekend. I told H I'll pick up some more cloth diapers, and maybe a new wrap if I can find one under $25. Confession: I intend to take out cash and just not tell him what the wrap costs. I have three wraps, two snuglis, and an ergo, but I neeeeed a baby k'tan.

    I may have a problem.

    @DaisyCat11‌
    I have a Moby that I use almost every day, but I've been thinking of buying a second. I was considering a Mei Tei, but idk. What's your favorite? (Cheapness is a factor in this decision, since I don't really NEED another wrap or carrier.)

    Edit: posted too soon.
    Get the Infantino Mei Tei Sash carrier! It was like $30 and I LOVE IT. It's the only carrier we use right now (I'm considering getting a ring sling soon from Sleeping Baby Productions too)

    @nlane0723‌ I've done it! I'd actually like to do it again. I LOVE spark (their 'energy' drink - no caffeine!). I lost 8lbs but wasn't overweight to begin with. I did it for health reasons. I wanted to eat cleaner and better. I felt great!

    You take a LOT of supplements. Just be ready for that. If you have specific questions let me know!

    How is it possible I actually weigh LESS than before I got pregnant, but NONE of my PP jeans freaking fit???? I need to start doing crunches or something. Which will be a breeze, what with all that free time I have.
    My weight is down but my shape is different. I'm more pear shaped than I was prepregnancy.

    My SIL lost 17 lbs in 24 days and peaked my interest. I tried a lower carb diet a few weeks ago, but my supply tanked after a few days so I had to stop. I've read the info online and I'm guessing I should wait to try it until after I'm done breastfeeding. Is there a diet regimen incorporated as well?

    @Chphotomama I'm scared of having a thumb sucker too. He's been finding it pretty consistently lately. I don't know what to do, I can't keep a paci in his mouth 24/7, haha.

    My cousin's gf is a thumbsucker. She still does it in her sleep at 29. He posted a picture on FB of her and her son who is three sleeping side by side both sucking their thumbs. Her sister is 17 and still does it in public!

    I think they have an alternate program for breastfeeding mothers that adds in additional snacks/food. Ask whoever you buy it from and they'd be able to tell you. There is a guide you get when you order that outlines what to eat. I took a pic of the cleanse phase plan so you can kind of see. The last part of the challenge is a little more lenient.

    Basically 3 meals (1 is replaced by a shake), 3 snacks plus fiber, supplements and spark. Oh, and TONS of water. I wasn't ever hungry. I actually had to get used to eating so much. The only adjustment is not eating a lot of carbs or fried food. The first ten days were the hardest (cleanse phase).

    That satisfying feeling when you change your paper from single-spaced to double spaced and it magically gets longer. Seriously.


    Also, you guys are making me want to get an instagram. No one has found me on FB yet
    :P

    Ha! I totally did that in middle & high school. I'd type a bunch single-spaced and then when I got bored with the subject (wanted to be done with the paper), I'd double space it to see how far I really got. :)

    ETA and I feel like you're probably a mutual friend of someone I already know in RI... yannow... since it's a small state :P (kidding. sort of.)


    I totally thought this in my head before I read this post @kirotea. Haha. I live in MA and I just figured... Well RI is so small... The chances I have a mutual friend with @legallyginger‌ is probably very high haha

    No one had found me on Facebook... And I doubt you ever will... My profile is lock tight. Once a student finds you on Facebook you start to learn privacy settings like the back of your hand. I'm like a ninja on Facebook.

    (Wicked random... I typed ninja... And it autocorrected it to monk... lol)

    Advocare does have a program for breast feeding mamas
    I'll prob do it here soon
    I've done it before and I loved it
    I got the vegan shakes though because there wasn't any artificial sweetener in them. I don't like choc flav but they were yummy!!!

    Thanks for the info and pic! I'm definitely interested, especially if I can continue breastfeeding without worrying about losing my supply. Following a diet isn't hard for me so I hope this works out and helps me lose the rest of the baby weight.
