this is how your MD got that 120 lbs. 5' is 100 lbs for every inch add 5 lbs for females and 6 lbs for males (5' baseline is 106).

I hope this helps..

my plateaus lasted at least a month- typically but the longest was like 2.5 months- but i think its obvious i wasnt trying as hard!! keep going strong ladies!!

 I don't know what I was thinking Shauna when I was typing that it takes me 2 weeks to break plateaus........... I wld be in heavens if it was that short of time! Like you, months ..

I guess your right we just have to be diligent with our cc

hi guys,

How is everyone doing with their respective weight loss? I'm hitting my 3rd plateau. I'm kinda bum about it because it take me forever to break plateau. The last time, it took me 2 weeks to break it.

I'm actually 9 lbs away from my goal weight.... any suggestions? Oh yeah, can not fit any work out... 2 kids and studying for my boards keeps my day full.

I'm hoping my continued breast feeding and limiting my caloric intake should do the trick.

thanks everyone!! All advice are taken and hopefully processed in my brain.

GIASbash6260, yeah I heard of people like you, who practices they way you eat. That is some disciple you have...... KUDOS!

Okay for those who suggested agave and stevia, where can I get them?

it's not a bad idea to vacuum your mattresses at home every so often (like two or three times a year)

i'm not a germophobe, i'm more of a germo-wiselycautious

and yes, it would be very unlikely that dried body fluid flakes would find their way into my body through an open sore while still carrying active disease, but still --

other peoples' dried body fluids = WAY ICKY!  yuck!  no thank you.

i strongly prefer to know the people (well) whose body fluids I choose to come in contact with... but hey, tha's jus' how i roll

 

THANK YOU!!! same thoughts exactly........

 

okay guys well said, I hear all of you... honestly, I do not call myself a germaphobe.... but after being given a room, with nice crisp sheets......... body hairs.... passing it off a cleaned room. It makes me think ... how many times have I gotten in these nice "clean" crisp sheets... which they might not have been changed at all...........

But all thought and points have been noted... And I thank all of your for your honesty!

I'm in! Live in Secaucus, NJ

I'm addicted to Oatmeal...I eat it for breakfast and lunch. I add a heaped teaspoon of cocoa powder, vanilla essence, and 5 equal tablets (sugar sub.)

It's fantastic> :)

 hey Joanne811........ I do the same to my daily oatmeal!!! LOVE IT! And so low cal!!!

I had a scheduled induction for my 1st child. I worked until the day before my induction date. I too worked in NYC but lived in NJ. I worked at the hospital where I was to deliver. I was better off being at work than being at home.

Since I was a 1st time mom I wanted to spend all my allowed time when she came out.

GOOD LUCK!!! Enjoy your baby!!!!  

thanks for all suggestions!!

Sorry not on the same boat, but I'm envious!!! 

I wish I lost some inches... I have lost some weight, 10 lbs but not my inches.. if not for breast feeding making my breast a bit larger than usual, my belly will be as big as my breast!!

its been a week from the last time I had anything citrus (grapefruit, orange, tomato etc.), I have not seen any change in the frequency of her BM's. She has 5-7/ day (I included the times when she passes gas and poops comes out too). I really don't think its diarrhea. No other associated signs or symptoms.

I know Breast fed (BF) babies have a more watery consistency than formula fed once. I failed to mention that this is my 2nd child and I have not gone through the same experience with my first daughter. I ate everything with my 1st daughter. I think I have been patient enough. If within another week nothing changes (I read some where it takes 2 weeks for complete elimination of substances from breast milk) I'll have her poop tested.

I just hope that I'm just 1 paranoid mother and all is well........

thanks for sharing guys! lap21, my daughter 51/2 months when I started with the grapefruit in my diet, she is now 6 months old.

I'll do my little experiment and see how it goes. I am completely eliminating anything with citrus from my diet for 2 weeks and see if her bowel movements (BM) improve. Yesterday she had about 6 BM (maybe from the grapefruits I ate before yesterday????)
