    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: Well, I have been pretty bad about this. I had been doing really well with working out and MFP until about 4 months ago. I quit exercising and counting calories. Gained back my weight. : ( THEN I found out I was pregnant, which was a bit of a shock. I gained 50 - 55 pounds with each of my other pregnancies and hope to not do that this time around. SOOOO, I need to get back on track, which includes exercise!
    Anything else you'd like to share: My profile pic is of me when I had LOST my weight in October 2011. I need to put a new one up - not that I look a LOT different - just maybe a little puffier and pregnant!!
