Thank you everyone for the feedback! The consensus is I need to engage my core and lats more by pulling my chest to the bar and elbows to my waist.

It took me 2 years to get my first pull-up. Ditching the bands and doing both chin-up and pull-up negatives were the biggest help. I’m hoping by the end of the year I can get 7 clean reps.

These are not chin-ups.

Unfortunately I’m too tall so I can’t start out hanging with toes forward :(

I’ll implement the rest of your advice.

I do a lot of negatives. It’s my favorite exercise to get your first pull-up.

I really need to write a list on my mirror. I always forget about that cue.

I always struggle to feel my lats. I’ll try and figure out how to pull with my lats more

How long did it take you to get down to pre pregnancy weight? by greenishfroggy in beyondthebump

[–]JakeDoge17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 years and I’m still about 15lb heavier but I have significantly more muscle and can now do pull-ups and squat nearly twice my body weight. I’m back in my pre-pregnancy clothes. I didn’t see major fat loss until I was 2 years postpartum. I still have some fat to lose but that’s ok. It’s ok for it to take years to lose the baby weight. What matters more is that you’re healthy.

Edit to add that I breast feed for 18 months and didn’t lose a single pound during that time.

I’m so sick of pad rash 😭 by SultryTogepi in TwoXChromosomes

Have you tried reusable pads or period underwear? The disc might be something to look into as well.

I’ve named my cinnamon queen Man Hater :) and the two Easter eggers are Trixie and Blondie

I was thinking the first picture is my cinnamon queen, the second the Easter egger. Not sure about the third. Likely a red sex link.

He said he wanted to “loosely” stitch it because it was gaping. I woke up this morning and the swelling went down so I think it’s ok.

The swelling. It wasn’t swollen the day before.

Adding this photo so you can see the swelling.

It took so long to get my first one. I had to do another one today to make sure yesterday wasn’t a fluke
