i am definitely not in the best weight right now. I have always lived in warm weather, for 1 yr i moved to a cold place and due to such a drastic change, lost all the drive to workout and ate a lot of bakery stuff.. I used to weight 122 pounds. Now i'm back in warm place and want to lose weight.

I have absolutely no time, I'm working and have a 4 yr old, after work i need to take care of him and some household chores.

can i lose weight if i do cardio workout twice a week that is Sat and Sun and do some other exercises at home during the week. I cant do jumping stuff as i live in an apartment and do not want to disturb neighbours. Of course i'm going to manage the diet too. drink green tea during the day in office.

Please advise some plan

I parked the car (foot on brake, just making sure i was in the lines) and my phone rang and my son was crying in his car seat, by mistake i switched off the car while it was still in D. it gave me 3 slight jerks then i realized and put the car in P and further moved the key to take it out.

Oh god, i hope i haven't caused any damage to the engine or brakes or whatever, I'm a bit scared.

Hi everyone,

Please check this trouser:

http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pi...

i'm going for a very corporate interview, can I wear this with white shirt and black jacket. i'm concerned about the color is it too dark and might look a bit like a colored jeans and might look casual I do not want to be that gaudy person do not want to look like a Fresher. 'cos i'm very experienced.

I also have a Light blue Linenish cotton wide legged Trouser, i can wear with White Shirt and black jacket ?

I do not want to wear black trouser black jacket, that seems too cliche.

My pre-pregnancy weight was 120 pounds. I had my baby 1.5 years back. I dont look good, my stomach is hanging and my arms look okay sometimes and on the wrong angles look very fat, I have underarm fat and just cant wear any speghetti or halter necks without a cover up.. I have recently gone on a regular workout routine, where i burn 300 calories around 5 days a week...I'm going to start doing dumbells as well. I do weights sometimes in the gym if i get some extra time. But seriously, can't do more than this right now, as my baby needs attention too. I eat a very limited and balanced Diet, i'm a vegetarian.

I'm just starting to workout, so going 4-5 days a week to the gym, i want to stick with it but i feel i might go down to 3 days. I have soo much work and household chores to do.

Please make any suggestions so i can stay on track or something i can do to make my regime more effective, by not investing more time. Thanks a lot.

But i have a very peculiar question, on one room we have our office set up we also have a mattress on floor, just like that, he walks on that mattress a lot and it is very soft mattress, actually to reach a window which has a nice view..

So could that walkingg on the soft mattress contributing to the bowleggedness ??? is it bad to walk on soft surfaces for developing children. I'm going to remove it immediately.

I would be very thankful for your insights.

I'm 5.2" and 126-127 pounds. I'm eating around 1000-1400 cals a day and never more than that. I'm a vegetarian, but do eat eggs.. But i have no time to workout, i have to take care of the baby and i work from home... so when i 'm free i take the baby out to play, he is not into big boy play right now, so i dont get to run around with him...

I have worked out from a very long time now, but with this new different life my workouts stopped from last few months. I will resume my workout routine once my son starts going to preschool.

My arms and thighs legs look good, but my face still looks fast and of course the Belly, hanging and a little protruding from the middle. Can i lose my Face fat and Belly fat only with diet.

Okay so my son is 15 months now and I'm working part-time from home. He has recently changed his schedule to a great extent, he does not take morning milk after breakfast, he does not take a nap after breakfast.

So all this time he is not sleeping he is just wandering around the house, he is not interested in toys. I read him books he is very interested, but after all of the reading again there is nothing to do. He has no playdates as there are no children of his age group around here and we are new to area.

So this made me think, what if he goes to the Sunrise preschool/daycare for around 3-4 hours around 3 days a week. At least he will go out play, socialise interact and learn something.

Do any work from home or stay at home mom's send their kids to school at this age. I dont want ppl come and tell me that i made a wrong choice and what kind of mother am i sending my baby to school soo early.

Please advise.

so we have a party of more than 20 at a restaurant, they have said the Gratuity is 18 % so after paying the bill and gratuity do we also have to tip ? i feel it does not make much sense, as we are payng such heavy gratuity ? What the right thing ?

so I showed this to a specialty bakery and she told me that she will charge me 150 bucks to make this cake for a party of 30-35 people, its a 10 inch cake. So i have a few bakeries in my mind and i'm thinking of showing this picture to them and ask them if they can make it.

Do you think the material used in this cake is really that high end and the whole making this cake is really a big job that i should pay 150 bucks to this lady... do you think this can be done by other small bakeries, do you think small bakeries have this kind of material to make this cake. I dont want to take this picture and make a fool out of myself, so just want your opinions...Thanks

If yes how, I have an Almond coffee creamer (liquid not powder) , which is not very good and has not been used much. I was making a cake, so thought why not use it somehow... Please tell me what do i need to to do to use this creamer in my cake.

If icing can be made, then tell me the ingredients required to be added to this creamer to make the icing... thanks in advance

I'm just 10 pounds away from my pre preg weight. My baby is 10 months old. I cannot crash diet and I workout at home most of the time, as i dont have time to go to gym... I have a small baby and i'm just at his service almost all the time, other times i do my household work cooking cleaning... I work from home...I look okay but i have this horrible tummy that i want to get rid of, it seems all the 10 pounds are sitting there.

Please help.

so i slowly gradually reduced the pumping from 7 to 1 from last 2 to 3 weeks, i've been doing 1 pumping from last 2-3 days, i dont want to pump anymore and i'm engorged today... breasts hurt a little, i did ice packs and have taken 2 tylenols since yesterday night...

Should i pump to relieve, but this way body will keep making more and more milk ?? or should i just wait and keep doing ice packs and tylenols..

I do not want to get clogged ducts or mastitis

hey everyone. I pump exclusively and i'm ready to dry up now. So i used to pump almost 6-7 times. I reduced to 5 times since last month and now since last week wanted to pump only 4 times a day but at the end of day felt soo much let down, that i had to do another 5th pumping, kind of late night... yesterday was out most of the day and pumped only 3 times, but was engorged by the morning. so should i pump only 3 times today and rest of this week as well ??

I want to be done with this by the Mid of June. I have a 24 hours air journey at the end of june and i dont want any engorgement or any discomfort 'cos i really cannot pump in the plane...

What should be the course of action, so i do not get any clogged ducts or mastitis for god's sake !!!

so i exclusively pump and had bleeding nipples one day and was told by my Dr. to take break from pumping for 24 hours... i did not pump whole day but was engorged at night so had to pump again. and i pumped at a very low speed. so next day i come back to my pumping routine as usual and now i see that my milk supply has gone down drastically.. I did not know that this could happen by just a break of less than 24 hours...

My question is how will the supply go up again...I have already struggled with the supply initally and worked really hard to bring it to where i was and now starting again sounds like a huge challenge, and dont know if i will be successful. My baby is just 4 weeks old and i have a long way to go with this pumping.

hey, i was was just doing my morning pumping just now and it hurt initally as usual and then it becomes okey.. i was so much in sleep i dint realize that my left nipple was bleeding... and the bottle had blodd mixed with milk.. i stopped there and then,, showed it to my husband, he is furious.. he thinks i pump a lot and all this pain and now this bleeding does not make any sense.. he just took away the pump...

My question is first of all how should i treet this bleeding niple and should i continue to pump right now or just wait till i heal the nipple... I explusively pump and then supplement with formula...

I regularly use the Nipple Nurture Butter from Bella B (it is all natural). Do you think i should buy lansinoh cream ?

i have a 2 week old baby, does not breast feed canot latch, i have low milk supply.. cant pump more than 1/2oz, my nipples are sore, cant pump anymore as it depresses me even more... completely stressed out, going to see a Lactation consultant tomorrow... and suddenly today i just cant stop crying, i'm completely overwhelmed and feel absolutely horrible and guilty for everything.. i just started crying when it was time to feed, i had the formula ready and my baby won't wake up i tried and tried and he would not take the bottle... i just kept crying and then after 10 minutes he did wake up and drink the formula.. Do i have the baby blues or PPD... please help

My baby is 1.5 weeks old, baby cannot latch, as i had no milk while i was in hospital and he was given formula.. My milk came in, just 3-4 days days back only, but it was very little, so i'm taking fenugreek supplement and mother's milk tea, which has at least got my suply to 1 ounce per pumping (i know it is very little, but great for me who had nothing) so i still supplement, i dont think i can stop supplementing, so pls do no suggest that, as the supply does not look good... so i still try to put him to breast and then pump every 2 hours for around 20 - 30 minutes (my nipples are extremely sore, using butter for that). Do you think i can at least increase my milk supply thru pumping regularly so i can keep giving him the expressed milk... i feel really horrible, have talked to quite a few lact. cons. but of no use... Please help...

I'm using prep-H and started using hydrocortisone suppository (rectal use) starting last night prescribed by my doctor. Since then everytime i go to the bathroom, i get a sight pinkish blood on my wipe. Now the whole issue is i cannot make out if the blood is coming from the hemarrhoid or my vagina... i mean the external hemmarhoid is soo close to vagina, that it is just confusing me... but if i just ignore it and keep thinking that it is coming from the hemmarhoid then i'm in trouble... it could just be coming from the vagina... then i'm in big trouble.. How do i make the difference.. Please help ! I'm sooo confused and need to make a decision soon so as to take some action..

So I'm looking for a gift for my husband's birthday, who is soon to be a father.. i came across this item

Thanks

Hey everyone, My husband by mistake gave my incorrect name to medical insurance, he gave my married name, however i haven't changed my name officially. But we do have a marriage certificate that says that my name is actually the married name. But in all other documents my name is still my maiden name. I'm right now 6.5 months pregnant, we only realized this when we thought of all the formalities that have to be done when baby is born

Can this affect any documentation done at the time of baby's birth ??? Can i change my name with insurance now ? will this affect my ongoing pre-natal treatment or care or in any other way, or this will cause any kind of confusion with the hospital authorities or Doctor's records ???

Please help we are really confused..
