I just want to brag for a sec. I had a baby in November 2019, maternity leave till March 2020, never went back to an office and continued to gain weight/not lose baby weight. Made me feel 😞. I just started setting small, manageable goals and today hit my first one - down 4 pounds in 4 weeks!! So thrilled and motivated to keep going 💪🏼

Congrats on prioritizing your health when it has been very difficult to do so between pandemic and a new baby! Tough to do, you’ve got this!

Good for you!

Amazing, well done! I’m about to attempt to eliminate those last 10 baby pounds. Le sigh.

Unsolicited advice- don’t think of it as 10 pounds. Try one or two at a time. When I think “I want to lose 20 pounds” I felt like it was too much. That’s why I did a 4 pounds in January goal. I just did little things, increasing activity and decreasing alcohol.

Just really really jealous of that may leave policy - wow.

Yea it was pretty great. 12 weeks paid, 4 weeks half pay (I think), and I used some PTO time. Just wish I had a crystal ball saying I’d never socialize with grown ups again.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
