I love my 19 month old. She’s the best. I’m so thankful for her. We’re traveling for the second time, but she can walk now. We’re flying from Ohio to Washington state, 5 hours, she sucks at taking naps on someone. Only in the car or a crib. And I’m already not wanting to go on this trip that I’ve been looking forward to. I feel like it’s not a vacation, it’s going to be me managing her the whole time.

Don’t get me wrong, I know it comes with being a parent. I wouldn’t trade it. My husband is helpful, but I don’t think I’ll be able to relax at all. I’m just venting at this point.

She’s been a wonderful sleeper and typically decent napper, but I get so anxious when she doesn’t nap.

I’m pretty sure I’m PMSing so I’m super emotional right now.

Thank you for listening to my emotions.

Hi all!

Just as the title says, my 18-month old is struggling heavily with naps. I don't know if we're doing something wrong or if there's anything we can do, but I need help and so does she. She is too young for dropping naps and I know it.

For context, I work from home in my parent's basement on Monday through Wednesday. She has a nice room with a crib, her cricket sounds that she likes, and her little animal she loves. On Thursdays, she goes to my MIL's house. This only really started a month ago, but it's gotten worse. She is screaming like I've never heard her scream before, cry like crazy, and it breaks my heart. But she is refusing to go down for a nap. She used to be great at taking naps at our own home, but now it's very stressful. I will have to say my MIL was lying next to her for naps, and I told she had to stop that because we don't cosleep. I would love to, but I value my sleep and I roll around way too much lol

She sleeps 7pm-7am and she's been doing this since she was about 6 weeks old with some wake ups here and there. She does lunch around 11:30am and then we try to put her down at 12pm and she refuses. The last few days I've had to let her cry for about 12-15 minutes because that's only how she was able to even fall asleep. I feel horrible. This is the first sleep regression for naps that she's had in 8 months.

We've tried the ferber method, which made things worse because she knew we'd be there. Cosleeping like I said, isn't an option.

I just feel like a bad mom. Am I a bad mom? Does anyone have any recommendations?

Just as the title says, last week I took my 5th shot and the food noise increased with wanting to eat more than usual. Now, I have and IUD that I got in back in March, and still get my period, but I don't know if that plays a factor into it. I had my period last week, but it ended last Thursday. I'm still having the food noise and eating at night again, which is what the medication was helping with the most. I'm taking .5 right now.

Has anyone had this happen before?

Just as the title says, I'm about to end week 4 (.25mg/50 units) and I still haven't lost any weight.

My starting weight is 209. CW is 206-207 it fluctuates. Goal weight, at this point, I'd be happy with just 190 again, although I'd really like to see 160 again.

I'm feeling so disheartened by it. I know everyone is different. My calories are between 1400-1800 a day. Granted, I know some days I will go over way too much, maybe once a week. I enjoy 4 sun cruisers a week, and that's it now. I've cut back on my drinking significantly. I also workout 3-4 times a week, getting close to 200 calories a session with cardio and weight lifting. I am on some medications for anxiety and ADHD, but I've lost weight in the past with those medications.

I'm 18.5 months postpartum. I'm feeling so discouraged, I spent so much money on this thing and my best friend, she's lost 15 pounds in 1.5 weeks. She doesn't eat much anyway, but she's heavier than I am. I know again, I shouldn't compare, but it's just so f*cking hard.

I got the semaglutide/b-12 compound. Am I overthinking?

Hi all! I upgraded from saver fare to premium. Do I still get the free alcohol? Just trying to settle a debate!
