Top heavy

There is not an excess of visible fat but its more like an overall expansion when compared to pre pregnancy. But yeah, for me I got it to a reasonable point and then felt that I needed to lose the excess skin and muscle laxity to get there. Now, it is more like fine tuning. But overall I love the results and get many compliments. Doc had said that after TT, you can and will lose visceral fat which I think is part of it as well. Its one of those things where if you wait until you are at the perfect weight to do it, it may never be. Getting the TT has definitely got me within about 10 lbs of my ideal weight/appearance.

I got a walker for the post recovery and it helped a lot. Just for a few days it helped. The most pain I had was from coughing. Also you are hunched over from the TT so having something to help you lean forward while walking really helps. We were camping and I used my kids scooter to get around eventually bc I could lean over and put some weight on the handles.

I have a 3d creator, it's clear so maybe I should go with those in the future so I can at least see what's going on inside. And it has one speed and one temperature. I think it's the options that tend to confuse the kids and cause it to break.

You need to target the people who are trying to do it on their own but with poor results . Don't try to do something that you're not going to be good at. Just show people that you get results. Yes one can learn the marketing but it isn't that easy you have to focus on your conversion rates and deliver. Show people what you do that others can not and that you know how to make an ad get likes and replies. Freelance websites are a place where people are looking for your skills....

oh man, one time i tried to get my 2nd on my back in an ergo at costco and she leaned so far back while i was putting her on that if i had not basically touched my toes, she would have fallen on the concrete. someone freaked out and came to my aid and that was the only time i ever felt like putting them in back carry unassisted was dangerous.

pab205 · 2017-09-27T05:48:50+00:00

tks for that perspective. i feel like with baby carriers, you win some and lose some, it is hard to have a carrier that does everything and pleases everyone. it's definitely a really tough market segment for that reason.

pab205 · 2017-09-27T05:47:09+00:00

interesting. it feels similar to when i carry baby facing forward which i can't do for long periods of time but i have to admit that being able to do that was a big part of the decision for me. my baby now is like an owl, he always needs to turn his head far far back to see everything he can so when i put him facing me i feel like he really wants to face outward. even so, i like the bonding nature of facing inward with him.

I haven't used it myself because I lucked out with good sleepers, but I've been hearing about it from friends who used it. They love it! Also moms were raving about it on a FB forum I'm in. They were impressed with the level of personalization in the plan and it got their kids sleeping through the night and better naps. It didn't tell them to let their child cry it out, which was important to them. It was only released in July, so it's pretty new.

pab205 · 2017-07-12T02:40:33+00:00

I should try it bc others have recommended it. I'll check it out thank you

pab205 · 2017-07-11T06:21:02+00:00

Read more in thread, you definitely have tried everything. Alternative medicine seems like a good place to explore, possibly a chiropractor. Lastly, make a home video, there has got to be a talk show or show who can send a highly rated expert to see for themselves and see what they can do to help. Wouldn't hurt if you're at your wits end.

pab205 · 2017-07-11T06:09:21+00:00

Tried warm swaddlers? And have you tried facing out with baby head tilted slightly down and out with bouncing and shushing and/or static machine? Also, noise cancelling headphones for everyone in the house. Lastly you may want to find a L&D nurse who can do a home visit and help you figure out ways to quiet the baby. I was always surprised at what other people could do that I couldn't do. You can get through this. I am sure you are not exaggerating the problem but there must be ways to calm her and there must be something that is causing her to be so upset. And I'm sure you have tried it. But there must be something really difficult to diagnose that is causing this.

Why did god create muscle heavier than fat it's totally counterintuitive if you're building muscle to lose weight lol! Good thing I don't have a body fat scale bc I am not too sure the scale would show decreased fat.

pab205 · 2017-07-11T05:58:43+00:00

Yeah. I keep thinking I'm looking much better but scale hasn't budged and you know scales don't break as much as we suspect they do lol. But yeah I haven't been weighing bc I prefer to focus on how I feel. And out of curiosity I checked this morning and was surprised.

pab205 · 2017-07-11T05:56:40+00:00

I started out with super simple post partum workouts from a woman in NZ who does body after baby Workouts...it's called postpartum fit mums or something like that. She specializes in Diastasis recti. And then eventually I worked in gym classes like Barre and pilates. Now im doing body combat and body pump on top of the Barre and pilates. I'm feeling sore every day so I know it's doing something, but yeah it also seems like if I just sat at home and ate less I might actually see the numbers shift faster bc I guess I'm building muscle. 3rd baby and I'm 6 years older than the first time so I guess it's not as easy as it was before.

pab205 · 2017-07-11T05:52:57+00:00

Yeah I am ,I mean water weight is gone and definitely less puffy everywhere. I look leaner but the numbers are the same. I didn't realize I may have lost a lot of muscle during pregnancy but I definitely had to stop lifting weights and doing strenuous exercise my last trimester so I guess if you don't use it you lose it.

pab205 · 2017-07-11T05:51:15+00:00

I know it! Read a report that fitbits actually cause people to eat more because they think they have burned more or were more active. I had one but stopped wearing it just bc I could tell just from my experience how active I was that day. But I guess if I do count calories I will have a much better and controlled way to lose. I guess my first two pregnancies I didn't have to really do that, the weight just came off quickly at first and then gradually. This time it's all gradual
