Please do continue this...I JUST got started.

One thing that is nagging me is I try to do a whole foods diet. And according to everything I've read, whole fat milk (from the store) is better for you than reduced fat milk....of course raw milk is far superior to both.

But when you drink the whole fat, you end up eating more calories and fat that you should. So I'm torn. I've made the switch to 2% but still dont know.

If you arent familiar with this type of thinking...send me an email and I'll send you some links. I was hoping you might now though...LOL

Not saying it should be me or anything like that, but I think it's a good idea and I would volunteer.

Like momversations has a few moms that are the authors, http://www.momversation.com/.

What about getting an administrative partner for Body after baby and maybe even branching out a whole new blog around it?

Not a healthy way to lose weight, perhaps.. but I can attest that a 500calorie diet can work wonders on some body types.. NOT that i condone extreme dieting, but i had issues back in college... =\

I'm having trouble with my goals because I'm trying to find a diet that doesn't aggravate my health symptoms and making my diet healthier is actually making me gain weight!! Ack, it's killing me! I'm still working on it, though. Health is more important than weight right now, and I'm not in that big of a rush. :)

yeah,a post on myths would be great! like how strength training is NOT going to make you bulk up, or how eating only 500 calories a day is NOT a good way to lose weight. etc.

2010-02-03T13:43:25.816-09:00

I would LOVE to see a post about what DOESN'T work...like, if I keep attempting (seriously, attempting, not succeeding) to do pull ups, will those ever really help me??? What about some other myths that may mislead my efforts...that would be fun! :)

How about some ideas for those of us who can't afford gym memberships and wii fitness games and all that?

Oh I like those ideas, Thanks Krystal!

Hey, we're all entitled to an off week. Sorry you're feeling burned out.

It's fun to participate in this "challenge" and see that there are other girls out there working on getting their bodies back and struggling the same struggles and so on. I love reading the other posts in the Linky.

Things you could write about... well, I know I would like to read more of YOU. You said you have goals for your personal Body After (and Before, right! ;) ) Baby challenge, but you never really tell us what you're doing or about your goals or struggles or successes. I would love to see some of that and I think others would probably like it too.

As far as what else you can do, what about reviewing different diet plans/books and home workout systems that others are following, such as Weight Watchers (like contact the Anchorage WW group and tell them about BAB and see if they'd let you sit in on a meeting and interview the leader, etc.) or Jillian Michaels' 30 Day shred, etc. You can take a look at them, maybe interview someone who is doing it or whatever, and then blog about it as a way to let the other BAB girls know about it.

Just some ideas for you!

I'm excited to see what you have in store as far as "challenges" and programs go!

Also, I was brave this week and posted a (lack of?) "progress" photo taken this morning--in a bikini!--on my blog. OUCH! Now that's a reality check!

Awesome....count me in.
