My 3 NSV's :)

So, first off I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I've upped my calorie intake. I'm maintaining my weight (haven't lost since right before finding out were expecting, fluctuating with about 4 lbs) so I'm doing something right!

That being said, I was working out Monday and Tuesday at the gym and my exercise pants kept falling down :blushing:

Monday I was doing circuit training and every time I hit the steps I had to hike my pants back up :laugh:

THEN I have an arm band thingy that I put my iPhone in so I can listen to music when I'm working out. I bought it back in April (see heavy picture below). It's an XL, which was tight... The past 2 days now I put it on and it falls down to my elbow when working out. Time for a smaller size!!!! I can't believe that my upper arms are shrinking! Super stoked about that!!! :bigsmile:

And last but not least, my brother in-law's wife gave birth to their 3rd child this morning so I headed up to the hospital to see the new baby. I haven't seen a lot of my husbands family since I've lost almost 50 lbs. 2 of my in-laws came up shocked at my appearance. They'd heard through facebook that I'd lost weight, but apparently didnt expect a transformation. One of my sister in-laws called me later in the day to tell me I looked absolutely awesome! She preceded to tell me that I was looking toned and I must be going to the gym :bigsmile:

I told her that I go everyday M-F to which she replied, "well it shows!" talk about an ego stroke!!!

You ARE beautiful! Congratulations on your pregnancy! I only gained 18 pounds with my first baby. I changed the way I ate like substituted veggies for chips and skim milk for soda. I actually lost a little weight at first. But I did not try. My baby was two week early and still 8 pounds 8 ounces. Keep eating healthy and keep up the good work! You should be very proud.:flowerforyou:

You look stunning - and well done managing to maintain when pregnant too!

Thank you!!!!!!

Kelly Clarkson eh? Another MFP friend told me that I look like Katie Holms I use to get Brook Shields back in the day (read, when skinny).

Thank you! I hardly think of myself as stunning though. 23 lbs away from goal, so I'm on hold until baby pepper gets here next May/June.

Yes, I can see the Katie Holms thing too. You got it goin on coming and going!
So happy about your baby!!
By the way, I lost 35 pounds in the six weeks post partum, even thought I only gained 18 during the pregnancy. You are way ahead of the game already. I predict similar results for you.
Keep us posted with prego picks. They are so fun to look at after you have the baby.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I'm documenting this pregnancy since it's going to definitely be my last!

This pregnancy is totally different from my others because I'm so much more healthier. I really don't for see gaining a lot of weight with this one, surely not the 47 lbs that I've lost.

I still don't see the resemblance though. But then I have a hard time walking into a store and remembering that I don't have to go to the "Womans" section...
