CNCMOM`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll I have been working out for a little over 3 weeks and I have not noticed a change at all. My clothes still fit the same and I haven`t noticed a difference in the scale. I have also been eating better and cutting out soda. Shouldn`t I be noticing something by now? Any ideas, tips and comments are appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks ladies for all your tips and words of encouragement. Your responses made me feel much better. I won`t give up!

make sure your actually eating enough. You can`t lose weight if you eat too little and work out because your body will store it all. You need to eat the right amount of calories for your body size and the amount of exerciser your getting. Remembering larger people require more calories because they carry extra weight. This is why getting with a qualified dietitian or diet coach is a good idea they can give you an idea of what you should be eating. Lots of people fall into the false idea that to diet you just eat less and exercise more. I would write down everything your eating/drinking for a while week. Like every little bite. How much water your drinking. etc and seek out someone who can give you advice on how much you should be eating. Work on spreading it out through the day into small meals.

It sometimes takes a while to notice results, but don`t give up!!! My body is the same way. Try not to worry about what the scale says, and think about how good you feel and maybe how you fit in your clothes, because remember that muscle weighs more than fat! Hang in there girl...you can do it :o)

what i do is i bought some dance vidios and just followed those and had fun with it i have had three kids with the youngest being 3 months old and im a llready back down to a size 7.. I was a size 13 after this last one and a size 15 after my daughter and i got down to a size 5 but i got there a couple of months before i got pregnant again so i guess that one was a lost cause...lol but i`ve learned that if you have fun with it you `lose` faster..

Keep going! I would suggest, to help you with a jump start, do something similar to Southbeach for two weeks. It helped me tremendously getting the last few pounds off (and my waist back) after I had my daughter. Be sure and change up your workout routine as well so you don`t get bored. Good luck!

Some type of cardio for 30-45 minutes on the treadmill, elliptical or bicycle. I then usually do arms or legs on the machines. I have been going 3-4 times a week. I had major surgery in June so I have to take it somewhat slow and I have just now started to do abdominal exercises. I was on Prednisone for 2 months and gained a ton of weight!

what kind of workout do you do?

after i had my daughter i was loosing weight. i didnt notice alot in my clothing, and ended up loosing more weight than what i started with prior to getting pregnant. your clothing will probably fit differently from this point on. even though i was still a size 7/9 and weighed less than i originally did, the clothes were still noticably snugger in certain areas like my hips, thighs, and breasts. before my daughter i had no hips and no waist after my daughter i had a much more womanly figure =) i was fine with that.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
