Well, I think I have to give up my weight loss goals for awhile. But, I do have a good reason for it. I am 12 weeks pregnant. I have managed to lose 7 lbs in the first trimester but it looks as if my weight loss is coming to an end. I haven't lost anything the last 4 or 5 weeks now. I just seem to be going up and down the same two pounds. The group has been great and I will keep in touch. Looking forward to being the biggest loser in mid october. hah hah!!! But, as far as recording my weight gains, I don't want to do that to weeks percentages. Good luck to you all. Looking forward to seeing all the transformations at the end of the year.

    Awwwww congratulations .. Keep in touch. Let us how how you are doing in your pregnancy. How about instead of losing weight", you make it into a weight controll. Pregnant women also count calories and exercise. :wink:

    Blancanievess I am still counting calories and still working out. My goal is to gain 10-15 lbs for this pregnancy. So far I am right on track with losing this first trimester with no m/s!! Pretty darn proud of myself. My first I went way out of control and gained over 60lbs. My 2nd I was much better but still gained 27 lbs. This one I am even more on track. Working out when I feel I don't have much energy. I usually feel better about it after I am done but it is forcing myself to do it instead of napping. Chasing after a 3 yr old and 2 yr old I am sure is helping too. My doc said I could eat 1500 calories first trimester. I managed that for 8 weeks that is for my loss. I have since had to up it to 1700 because I was constantly hungry. I seem to be maintaining now.

    I will keep you all updated on how I am doing. I just don't want to report my gains for the week. It made me feel horrible to mark a gain this week. I hurt the weeks percentage loss and I have a good reason for a gain but I still felt horrible about it.

    That happened to me in my two pregnancies.. 1st pregnancy I gained 60-70 pounds.. 2nd pregnancy I gained 40 pounds ( of course I was already overweight) , and my 3rd pregnancy I gained 50 pounds. I was doing very good in my last pregnancy but I got a cough the last me for almost two months. I was very tired. Without energy. I stopped walking and all of sudden I gained a lot of weight the last few weeks. :(. Well take care if your self and your babies. Keep in touch. Make this your pregnancy diary :flowerforyou:
