Been losing weight since the start of covid. Not a lot but around 1% of my total weight despite eating/snacking constantly (think ice cream, cheese cake). Anyone in the same situation? Lol

This is not to make anyone feel bad but even tho many of us struggle with weight gain, lots of us have problem with maintaining a good BMI! Neither is good. Actually when I really weigh myself today, I have lost 3% of my weight. I'm petite size, usually <110pounds so any weight loss is bad for me. But I do hope I'm just losing muscles and gaining fat lol

My plan is to transition to Part-time or PRN (once weekly) to spend time with my baby before he’s no longer a baby anymore.

Now that my babe is getting older and learning so much right now I want to be present more for his neurodevelopment. My trouble is… I love the income I make full-time… What age was your child when you went part-time or stay at home? And why?

Hey ladies. I had a miscarriage July 2021 and my cycle started back up not long after. Then in January it just stopped. It’s been 3 months without my period and not sure what could be causing it (I’m not pregnant). My diet hasn’t changed and neither has my activity. I run marathons but I’ve been doing that for years now and it’s never impacted my period prior. I have an appointment to see my OB in a week but wondering if any of you experienced this.
