[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Cash, nursing really dropped my pounds, too. It was scary. Well, that and the lasix, for the first few weeks (ah, retained water, how I don't miss you). Sadly, it slowed down when I went back to full time working and Lillian started eating more solids. Now I have to actually pay attention to what I eat. Le Phooey. Which is Faux-rench for I don't wanna, gimme choccy.
VW, do you have any knitting projects? House arrest sucks.
I should lose 40lbs, to be at a good weight for my body, but I'd be happy with 20, because then things fit better.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Here in New York, there was a news story about a woman who gave birth to a 11 pound, 8 oz baby. Naturally. As in, without any drugs. It was a 16-hour labor.
::shudder::
I was only in labor for about 8 hours with Olivia. But the first three were rough--no drugs. They were ready to send me home because I was only 1 cm after three house but I basically said, "fuck that". I knew the contractions were getting worse and I'd progress quickly. The next hour I was 5cm. The nurse said, "Guess we better get you checking into an L&D room." To which I replied, "Just have the epidural guy meet us in there."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So, any way I can nurse a kid without, you know, having one?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just lost 10% of my body weight (17 lbs) and am working on another 10 lbs or so. I am now 152 lbs and 5'4', so not a skinny thing, but I definitely feel better. I going to the doctor today to see if my blood pressure has dropped, one of the reasons for the weight loss. On a more shallow note, I really wanted to lose the weight because I was freaking tired of hating how I looked in or out of clothes, and as a consequence ignoring my body all the time. Fighting body image demons was just taking up way too much of my psychic energy.

Trust my rage
I breastfed exclusively for 6 months, but I'm still 6 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight. Very frustrating!

Yes, but not especially effectively (google adoption and breastfeeding), so I don't know that you'd get the 500 calorie a day burnoff from it. Also, pumping sucks. Literally, too.

Yeeeehaw.
Just saw a guy who works in our DC office. I haven't seen him in about 4 years, though we have worked together for about 10. He got all squeeee over the way I look - weight loss, hair cut. Nice ego boost.
Now I have a big ole grin on my face.
