Genuinely the only thing that works is a calorie deficit and by that means tracking all your calories even your sauce. I find weighing food makes it easier instead of going off the measurements on the box. Make sure you are hitting protein as your #1. You can eat whatever you want as long as you’re still in a deficit and are getting enough protein. Make sure you are getting 10,000 steps in throughout the entire day and drinking enough water!! I’m only 2 months pp so I’m really struggling as well but I am starting to take creatine again as well (you have to drink TONS of water if you want to do that)
For workouts, you truly just have to find what is best for your body but going 3 sets to failure everytime but making sure you hit at least 10 reps or go down in weight. Would you like my workouts for the week? I go 6 days but you can always cut it down and combine a day but I’d go 4-5 days at least

Idk if you lift weights. But, if you don’t, you might want to start. It may not lose weights quick or a lot but your body composition will change and you’ll feel like a whole new person. I have lost close to 40 lbs doing that and some cardio on some days. I still eat about 2000 cal a day. As long as you burn more than you put in, you should be good. I don’t want to ruin my metabolism so i didn’t do low calorie. Instead i try to burn more.

Need advice

Me and my partner have been together for quite some time. But throughout my pregnancy He really started, just letting me down. Not being the partner I needed and not really being supportive. So during that process I've kind of just like started losing feelings and having resentment towards him. Rcently, he started work again. Which means I only see him once a week. And sometimes not even that, so it's just me and the baby.
So, any advice on how to like bring the spark back in our relationship, or if it's even worth fighting for? I love him and I want this to work, but I just don't know what to do.

Am I a bitch or is she ?

So to summaries me and my bd aren’t technically tg. But he be trying to grab me and touch me when ever he comes to see our baby. I love him but I have a feeling that he talks or sees other women I just don’t trust him. Today he calls me at 5 am to pick him up he’s in the middle of town. I’m like dude wtf are you doing out rn, whatever I picked him up. And he ends up falling asleep on the couch and he receives a call and I picked it up and it was some girl that he talks to. I answer the ft like it’s him lm like hello and she thinks it’s him. Then I’m trying to talk to her but I just don’t know what to say so I end up telling her I’m his bm and she’s like oh okay, “tell him to call me when he’s up” I said “ do you guys talk” she *sighs* and hangs up.. I was shook bc why wouldn’t she want to talk to me… tf did I do to her. He’s literally my bm. Idk if I’m the bitch or her. But if I was her I would have reacted nicer.. maybe that’s just me. I wasn’t being a bitch to her on the phone. I was nervous as hell. Smh

Anti-social

Hi, has anyone become very anti-social during their pregnancy? I am 37 weeks now and I just don’t want to speak to anyone other than my husband and 4 year old. I am usually very social and love having family round so this is not like me! Has anyone else experienced this in pregnancy?

Annoyed or upset by the new govt guidance on screen time?

I felt bad anyway when I needed to resort to teletubbies to cook or clean up....now I feel even worse.
Home alone, no village, no nursery and no nanny or babysitter in this house...I do everything! I'd rather have half an hour quiet time twice or three times a day so I can do things...
Also I guess adults can't watch their favourite sports or the news or anything anymore huh.
Parenting these days is hard enough...
