I think it's possible to get rid of the extra fat covering the abs, but there's not too much you can do about the loose skin. It does get better over time, but unless you are extremely genetically lucky it doesn't go away completely. After my second baby I got to where I could see my upper...

Sandra- They do love their carriers! So far Karina just sleeps when she's in it. How old is your daughter? I plan on starting up with Cathe workouts this week, but probably just one or two easy cardio sessions. Maggie- Evangeline is a really pretty name. I am totally enjoying Karina's...

Maggie, that's great that you were able to start working out so soon! My bleeding hasn't stopped yet so I should probably take it easy. I did start working out at 2 weeks PP with my last baby even though I was still bleeding a little. That was when I first started working out consistently and...

Well, I'm joining the check in although I haven't started working out yet. Yesterday I took all three kids to the zoo and walked around with the baby in the baby bjorn, and that's the most I've done. I'm planning on starting this coming week though. Melanie- that's too bad that your...

It does take a little extra motivation to keep going after all the interruptions. Your heart rate comes down and you get all cooled off. I have a checkup with my midwife in a week, and I'll be four weeks PP. I can't wait to be able to do high impact again! Courtney

That's strange. I posted a reply last night but it didn't show up. Anyway, thanks for the welcomes! Wearing two sports bras is a good idea. The only problem will be when I have to stop halfway through a workout to nurse:-) That happened quite a bit with my last baby. The swing only works for...

Yes, the baby bjorn is worth it! I love mine! The wide straps are so much more comfortable than other carriers and I like how the baby is right up against your chest with nothing in between. You can also nurse while wearing it and walking around. It's really easy to get on and off too. Now that...

Hi everyone, I'm Courtney. I have two boys ages 4 and 5 and just had my third, a baby girl. She was born on January 14, so I'm almost three weeks postpartum...and itching to workout! I had a natural birth and I'm feeling good so I've been thinking about starting to work out again. I'm a die hard...

I read that article too Julie and remember saying "That's it??" Three pounds sounded like so little to me. I'm also trying to gain as much muscle as possible. Just curious, what workouts are you doing? Courtney

Another short meso/endo combo here. I gain fat and muscle easily. I've been experimenting with S & H, PS, MIS, PH and love them all. I'm mainly trying to lose weight after having a baby and I don't feel like I've bulked but I haven't really lost much weight either. I did kind of think that...

Me too, I like fruit but not vegetables so much. I like bread and cheese a lot too. What has helped me to get more fruits and veggies in is to make things that mixes in different kinds so things blend together. For veggies, I make homemade soups, veggie pot pie, shepard's pie w/ lentils instead...

RE: Haslina - I am interested in buying your extra collars. Hi Haslina, They sell the Bollinger spring clip collars at Sport chalet.com. I'm not sure if this is the what you want or not... Here's the link...
