pregnancy 2010

I think that sounds fun. Why don't we both keep each other accountable for tonight?! I have a busy night tonight, but I really want to start the C25K tonight. When should we start our weigh in?

Wednesdays work great for me. My starting weight was 160.3 as of 12-28-09. I have starting pictures from awhile ago, so I'll post new pictures since I've gained weigh since then :-(

I don't know if anyone has seen my posts on "150 Healthiest Foods On Earth"? I also have a book on the 150 Healthiest food to for pregnancy (that you may not be eating) I was wondering if anyone would be interested in my posting these regularly?

Yes please!

Hey ladies I would love to join you ,my main reason for losing weight is so I can tcc . I would like to start in june but if i lose it sooner we can start trying sooner!! I put on a lot of extra weight with my first two next time i know i need to eat so much better during the pregnancy. Today i started the 30 day shred and eating 1200. I'll have to take a starting photo in the next few days. Looking forward to joining you ladies on the journey. Alyson212

I'm really scared of doing a "before" photo! I'm not sure I'm brave enough to put it on the internet! Maybe once there's a change large enough to notice..... anyone else in this boat?

Also - starting the weigh ins on Wednesday? So Perhaps every week we could start a new thread on Wednesdays, and keep it going and start again the following Wednesday, instead of adding a ton of pages to the same thread?

Weigh in - ick.

00Angela00 - will you be posting the lists of the best foods for TTC/Pregnancy?

Jalara - I was in your boat. I'm very ashemed of what I look like now. But I found braving it up and putting my before pictures up (they are on my profile) has given me the strength to stay motivated. I check out those pictures any time I want to snack and before I leave work (night time is my down fall). I'm 5 days in (started January 1st) but so far so good.

I think you should do it! We are not going to judge you - we are all here hoping for the same outcome! :flowerforyou:

You should at least take the pictures for yourself. You don't have to post them if you don't want to, but if REALLY helps you see your progress and when you get closer to your goal weight you're going to LOVE posting the before pictures even though you hate it now. :-D

Starting a new thread sounds good to me. I have to change my starting weight though, I'm going to weigh in on my wii which unfortunately has to be on carpet which ups my weight to 163

I will be posting the best foods for Pregnancy soon, not sure when I'll start but I'll post a note on here with a link when I do to let you gals know. :-)

When we check in each week should we note weight, measurements we want to track, and how many days we exercised the week prior?

makes sense to me - the more we can track, the more we can track progress. If we don't lose weight, we may loose inches, or be able to be proud of making it to the gym 6 times - sounds like a great idea to me

I'd like to join in as well! My husband and I are looking at ttc starting in August or September, I've been charting for 3 months already to avoid pg because the pill and I do not get along so much. I need to lose 110 lbs or so, but would be happy with 70-80. I am starting from 256 as of today, and using the wii fit as my main source of exercise.

I'm also starting the wii fit again, i really like it, but I kind of wish you could do exercises consecutively!

Hi all this is my first post. I'm a newbie to the site, but after realizing I really need to do something about my weight before it escalates any further, I decided to join.

My husband and I have been ttc #2 for the last 8 months, and it's getting discouraging! I'm hoping if I start eating better and exercise regularly it'll happen for us soon.

Is it too late for me join? Me and my husband already have a six year old and are trying for baby #2! I'm overweight and have PCOS!!!

Ladies, I think I need some input. My baby is 18 months, and I still havn't lost any weight. I talked to my doctor a while back, and she wasn't the least bit concerned. Sayed I was doing fine. She noted from her chart that I was the same weight I was the first time I saw her. Yes, I know, I was already 6 months pregnant the first time I saw her. Right after the baby was born I was losing consistenty 2 pounds a week and thought I was doing great. But at about week 5 or 6 I stopped losing and started gaining again. My weight leveled off at 192 pounds and has stayed there all these months. I've been working out, walking, and eating well. I lose a couple of pounds, then it comes right back. I'm soooo frustrated.

In the last two weeks I've suddenly gained almost ten pounds. Now it has been Christmas time and there have been a lot of extra sweets around, but ten pounds! Not possible. So I took a pregnancy test and sure enough. Looks like I'm about 3 weeks pregnant. Seems like right before my last pregnancy I gained 20 pounds in that first month. I was pretty worried, but the doctor said that was fine. I personally don't think my body handled the weight very well. I had terrible back pain and nearly couldn't function. I can't repeat that again. I just can't. I might as well be bed-ridden. I've heard of lots of people who were terribly over weight not gain anything during pregnancy. Sometimes even lose a little. I wish that could be me, but my weight loss efforts so far have been anthing but succesful. What can I possibly do???

Sorry guys we're starting a new link every week. This weeks link with weigh ins is at: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/74931-pregnancy-2010
