I *think* (I'll need to sit down and really think back) that when my babies or toddlers hit certain new stages of independence, I suddenly become very aware of myself and one of the first things I wonder is how I got blobby. <br /><br />Or I guess what I wonder about is how I stayed blobby.

For you and all the other moms out there who find it hard to exercise with a baby or toddler, consider a class that allows you to bring your little one with you. I teach a stroller exercise class- but there are different types of classes depending on where you live, from boot camp style to mommy n' me yoga.

The thi...No worries about the broccoli causing gas! The things that cause gas in adults are different than the things that cause gas in breastfed babies. <a href="http://www.storknet.com/cubbies/breast/diet.htm" rel="nofollow">Here's an excellent explanation.</a> Things like extremely fibrous foods cause gas due to the actual process of breaking the food down in our OWN intestines. The fiber itself does not make it way into our bloodstream, and thus into our milk. <br /><br />Does this mean our diets never impact our nurslings? Not exactly, but it tends to be major, potentially allergenic proteins (proteins DO pass into the breastmilk); think dairy, soy, and gluten as prime suspects. I'm not writing this to make you paranoid at all! If baby shows no symptoms of food intolerance, you're fine. So generally speaking - go for it with broccoli, beans, spicy foods, it's all good.<br /><br />Hmm, this would actually make for yet another good future post, the myths and realities of nursing moms and foods! *puts it on the pile*<br /><br />And I completely understand about the ten pounds!

I find ...Will broccoli give my nursling gas though?<br />I find it hard to leave my baby to go exercise, is my main problem, plus he cries when I'm not with him, so my hour of gym time makes my husband's hour with baby kind of rough.<br />But yes, Dou-la-la, I'm with you too. I've got ten pounds to go but those ten pounds are making ALL of my work clothes not fit, and I go back to work this month. And can't afford new clothes. I'm sure many moms can relate. <br />I'm starting today with a food diary and a commitment to do at least SOME form of exercise daily, even if it's just light weights in the living room while the baby plays!Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04149159318608415376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-90395358701613636462010-01-03T07:46:21.189-05:002010-01-03T07:46:21.189-05:00Rock on!

Well, assuming we're not talking about hollandaise sauce and berry ice cream sundaes. Enjoy the Wii - sounds like a blast.<br /><br />Erin, with that as incentive, I'll make doubly sure that I get working on those posts! I actually have a lot in the chute for 2010 already, it seems; most excellent.<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words, EVERYONE!

Seriously. <br /><br />Second, best of luck! I would love to lose the rest of the weight I gained while pregnant/right before getting pregnant (I quit smoking a couple months before getting pregnant and gained ~20 lbs.) I'm just not quite ready to put forth the effort. I suppose once I go back to work this summer after Kairi's 1st birthday I will be more likely to be less lazy about it. We'll see, I guess. <br /><br />Anyway, I look forward to reading about your journey.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378921984835830938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-58961567084634140562010-01-01T17:12:50.834-05:002010-01-01T17:12:50.834-05:00Love the post.

I need the solidarity with other peeps to keep me going. <br /><br />They always ask about "home practice" at my studio & I'm thinking to myself..."if I had the discipline to have this 'home practice' I wouldn't need to be paying you $$ to take these classes!!!" ;)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200907298236442869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-82430832955352033382010-01-01T16:55:16.846-05:002010-01-01T16:55:16.846-05:00Count me in as well!

Well, that's not true, I dropped about 20 pounds nursing and have gained it all back in the last 2 years. So yeah, carbs are my enemy as well. I'll be using the #mamafit hashtag on twitter to update and I hope you do, too. I'll need all the motivation I can get. I also have a problem with carbs and will be doing a modified South Beach as well. Lean protein (99% fish cause I am a vegeterian most of the time, with the exception of occasional strong cravings), lots of broccoli and berries. For exercise, I'm Wii'ing it up with EA Sports Active and Dance Dance Revolution. Thanks for sharing, Anne.

When my first baby was 8 months old, I was down to 10 lbs. less than when I'd got married . . . without any real effort on my part! I'd lost all my baby weight, plus 15 lbs! I LOVED it! I wasn't even trying . . . I was even still eating more than normal because I was nursing so much. Then, around the time my babies hit a year old, they nurse less, yet I eat the same, and the lbs. slowly creep back on . . . I end up gaining 10-15 lbs while they're still nursing, but over a year old. My problem seems to be I still eat like I'm nursing a baby full time, and my body still acts like it needs to be eating more, when in reality I'm only really nursing a few times a day (and that's to an easily distracted toddler who only REALLY nurses a full meal in the morning.) And then I'm up 10 lbs when I get pregnant again. I may never learn :-)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781058037409966491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-9779234999006979822009-12-31T12:07:51.828-05:002009-12-31T12:07:51.828-05:00I lost most of the weight I gained when my daughte...I lost most of the weight I gained when my daughter was born fairly quickly. But I gained it all back and then some. She'll be three in a month, and I am not where I want to be to conceive another child.

With Neva (now 29 months and still nursing too) I was about 15 overweight and gained 25 and initially lost all 25. I have since gained 30 back and now lost 15 of that. I hope to lose another 30-40 myself to get where I would like to be, but I am taking baby steps. My first goal is 10 by the end of January.Wandering Shushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03771648275172991612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-29867994456804762932009-12-31T10:31:24.313-05:002009-12-31T10:31:24.313-05:00Best of luck.
