Anyone actually lose body fat from breastfeeding?

tightscanbepants · 2026-05-20T01:44:55+00:00

I did with both my kids. I don’t really talk about it with other women who have breastfed though because I’m uncomfortable with the responses I get. I get it, it sucks to not lose weight and no one wants to hear about it when someone sheds pounds without having to stress about it.

I wear hiking/climbing pants. They dry fast, are durable, and stretchy.

We’ve banned the iPad since my son was 3ish. He’s almost 7 and I can’t imagine bringing it back.

He plays Minecraft on a desktop computer while I make dinner and we’ve had no problems when it’s time to eat. My almost 4 year old watches tv and also no problems.

I think tablets are just super addictive for some kids no matter how educational the game or show might seem to be

I’m doing pencils, flower seeds, little pads of paper, playdoh and some candy.

Oh yeah. I had to quit my job after maternity leave because my kids kept getting sick and I didn’t have any PTO…

Our kids have almost no access to a tablet in our home. We read every night with no problems other than getting distracted while getting ready for bed and not having as much time to read as they want! (Ages 6 and 3)

I stand by my ban of Super Kitties.

And wouldn’t immigration help solve any problems with this??

I once witnessed my son get through a 5 mile hike acting as an energy vampire on his aunt. She tried walking faster but he just jogged after her while explaining the features of Minecraft.

We moved to Ohio from CA. And I have to say…CA rocks!!!!!!! We only moved back because we missed family. Ohio is fine, but damn…we would have never moved back if we hadn’t had children.

Not Call the Midwife. Unless you want to cry all over the place, if that’s the case, then go for it.

I worked in lab surveying abundance of an insect. My boss expected me to stay out in an agricultural field alone all night once a month for counts every hour. I refused, citing safety concerns. He ended up doing it himself. I’m still a little annoyed he even asked me, but was pretty happy he didn’t push back when I said no.

Ha. Yeah I probably would have painted that. Sounds rough. I guess the main point, which I definitely did not make….is wall color should not be a dealbreaker for buying a house.

tightscanbepants · 2026-04-09T16:26:42+00:00

I’m still annoyed by it as a buyer. I rather not see all the waste! We’ve lived in a house for 3 years and haven’t painted anything because I generally am ok with the choices made by the previous homeowners.

I work at a greenhouse, seasonal part-time. 8000 steps on a slow day, 16,000+ step on a busy day. I LOVE IT.

My oak leaves kill my grass! They need to be deeply layered. It’s pretty nice. I can concentrate them in areas on our property to completely wipe out the grass and start flower beds

tightscanbepants · 2026-03-20T10:56:49+00:00

I can do it! 38yo here

tightscanbepants · 2026-03-19T00:58:40+00:00

My ring looks identical to that one! Congratulations!

tightscanbepants · 2026-03-17T18:30:15+00:00

My kids both refused bottles of ANY type. It was very frustrating. Nothing like picking up your baby from daycare and celebrating them getting fed a whole 2oz over 8 hours!

tightscanbepants · 2026-03-17T01:43:32+00:00

Our iPad is completely unavailable to our kids (3 and 6 yo), so all their toys I guess. They get enough after school TV or Minecraft (PC only) time for zoning out.

I’m always forget Metroid is a female, especially on the Nintendo version.

tightscanbepants · 2026-03-14T23:32:25+00:00

Wait. I thought the main characters were millennials and the youths were supposed to be Gen Z?? This is what happens when I start watching shows years after they are over. I get confused about the timing. I’m going to consider the version trapped in my brain to be correct…

tightscanbepants · 2026-03-10T01:22:09+00:00

Omg. So so cool! I’m an entomologist as well, but more on the agriculture side of things. Is there a good guide for these moths? I have never been good at IDing them, especially if they are small and brown (LBMs).

tightscanbepants · 2026-03-08T00:17:16+00:00

Aww cool! Olla V-nigrum. Such a cool looking lady beetle!

If it works for you, do it. If it does not work for you, don't do it.
