Lmao You gave me fair warning so if my butt falls off it's my fault for being curious to try. If it's really bad, send me your address, Amazon sent me two boxes muhahahahha
@Mommaswizz I just finished my cup for tonight... Hopefully I can handle the short drive to DS pre-k.... Only half joking... It gets better once your body begins to eliminate all the junk and gets used to it.... Between the tea and making better food choices I am down about 5 lbs from last weekend so I am feeling good
@elruby that's freaking awesome!! You're a good motivator for me right now. I need something to shake up all my futile attempts thus far. I literally need the shit kicked out of me.
My workouts have gotten better the last couple weeks, too. I feel my fitness level is finally improving, which makes me more motivated.
Totally want to do a sugar detox in January. Before getting pg, I used to do a 3-5 juice/raw food fast at least once a year. Sounds strange, but now that I can't do it, I miss it.
A couple years ago my mom drank some of my detox tea. The next time she visited, she told DH that she brought her own tea because the last time she had tea at our house she got diarrhea. Poor DH. Thanks for that, mom.

Finished my workout today on the elliptical and my phone was sitting on a shelf thing about knee height alon with my locker key. My friend called and the vibrations caused the key to fall off and into the machine. Great...on the plus side, I got to watch some hottie with muscles move the machine around to help me rescue my key!
@aresee I can relate. I have chronic bursitis in my left hip for the last four years. I haven't ran in five years and that definitely gets me down. I can walk & swim some but I'm so out of shape. My dr told me to start with just 5-10 min on the elliptical & even that flares my hip up. I have other health issues that aggravate this so I'm not saying this to worry you, just that I can relate. I hope you get your hip feeling better soon! I may have to start up PT again too but I don't really have the time or money for that either. Meanwhile I keep eating everything in sight so that's no good. Anyone else deal with their tiredness by eating? I know it's not helping but I keep doing it, falling on some old bad habits again. I've kicked it before so I'm trying to just take some baby steps.
I'm fortunate my work has an onsite fitness center, I've been better about working out regularly. And it's actually starting to feel fun again - I used to be super into fitness before getting pregnant, but starting over is hard. I for some reason feel like everything's getting bigger, though, instead of smaller. Maybe it's muscle gain without fat loss since the eating side of things is much harder, at least for me. I'm trying to be patient with myself but ugh this belly flab is super depressing
Bah! I'm finally coming to this thread after ignoring it for months. My eating is OUT OF CONTROL. I can try and blame BFing, but seriously, I'm just making crappy choices. Before I got pregnant I had lost 45 lbs on Weight Watchers. I gained about 35 lbs during pregnancy. I lost a lot of that, but still have 10-15 lbs left. I don't want to pay for Weight Watchers again. So, I'm doing Simply Filling based off memory. Has anyone else done Simply Filling? Basically, fat free dairy, lean protein, whole grains, veggies, and fruits. I need a Weight Watchers buddy! (Specifically one who uses the app and can look up power foods for me )
^^@Sjeff0816 Zulily has a weight watchers deal right now. I just signed up for the 2 months of online access for $20. I did weight watchers when i was in high school and wanted to lose 10 lbs (I lol about this now) and I really liked it. I'm hoping maybe I can get back in the swing of it once I get access..

@caitlincunn yes it's perfect for breastfeeding because it actually adjusts your daily target to accommodate the additional calories you need for breastfeeding. I swear by WW... I ordered the 2 months from zulily deal now I am just waiting for the instructions to set it up.
I feel like WW could work for anyone cause they allow you to buy your own food and customize it so you have food you want. I loved isagenix but im tired of spending money on shakes and groceries. I need something i can do with my family and not drinking shakes when my family is eating real food.
YAY! I'm excited that there are a few of us jumping on this deal. It's like we'll have our own WW meetings haha
Thanks for the WW special tip. I've been trying to get DH to do this with me & I'm hoping I can convince him. We both have about 30 lbs to lose. I hope he'll agree. He's so stubborn. My sister did WW while BF & she said it worked well for her.
Weight Watchers is amazing. I also swear by it! I'm not sure how the new Smart Points system works, but the old programs were great! I found going to the meetings worked better for me and held me more accountable then the online only version. Anyway, I'm waiting before signing up again because I'm doing pretty well right now on the Simply Filling program from memory! But I may still ask you to look up power points for me!
@Mommaswizz I was hoping to get mine today since Tuesday's have been a good weigh in day for me in the past but I could start on Wednesday too I guess ... Or maybe I should wait for after the holidays lol

Yeah, I was thinking I'd be setting myself up for failure if I started now. After the holidays will be better for me.
I jumped the gun and activated today. I believe the 2 months starts now. I'm hoping it will keep my holiday indulging in check (says the lady grabbing a drink after work with a friend.)
I think I found a new workout plan. I'm calling it "carry fat baby" Check out my right arm. It's looking pretty serious . . . And now my biceps and my boobs are both lopsided. Awkward.

Re: Healthy Mamas -December
I think we officially took over this thread lol

I'm still breastfeeding, would it be good to do?
