Calories when Pregnant
First of all- I will ask my OB about this at my next appointment- but just want some advice before hand. I am 8 week pregnant with my 3rd child. I am also at 300lbs.

Way too weird...
So I weighed in this morning and the scale read 150 lbs. Very exciting since that means I have officially lost over 30 lbs!!

Diet Slip-Ups Don't Spell Doom
It happens--a piece of cheesecake here, a missed workout there. But diet detours needn't become guilt-wracked weight loss disasters. Proof: When researchers put 142 overweight people on the same weight loss program, one group followed it for 14 straight weeks; another took a 6-week hiatus at the midpoint; the final group…

Old life was wasting away
Does anyone else feel like their old life was just wasting away? I mean, I am so active now. I haven't been outside this much and walking/running/playing and pretty much just enjoying life since I was a kid. I find that I don't watch as much tv anymore. I clean a lot more.

If you have kids, share with them too. My daughter loved it.:flowerforyou: TYPE IN a command and see what happens... sit, roll over, down, stand, sing, dance, shake, fetch, play dead etc. and... it's also very cute if you type in a command that's not recognized...!! Make sure you type in "Kiss" too, but do it last.…

Weigh in on Scale Vs. Measuring Inches - HELP!
I don't believe in scales. I believe that it's the "inches" that I want to see dropping (a/k/a sizes). Am I wrong for this? I mean fat can turn into muscle and weight just as much.
