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.

    Congratulations on your pregnancy.
  • 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:
