Pregnancy 2010 - Week 5

I can't remember last week's challenge, but I really like this week's! I lost nearly two pounds since my last weigh in two weeks ago. I was traveling for work in a very scary place for someone trying to lose weight: Paris. But I stuck with it...I walked a lot...and I enjoyed a *little* bit of wine and bread. This is the thinnest I've been since my wedding more than two years ago and it feels awesome.

Been a bad two weeks for me. Haven't exercised since I found out I was sick. I didn't gain or lose anything this week which is better than gaining, so I'm happy to have at least that. It's hard to stay on diet when you're so nauseaus because anything you can tolerate you eat ... and it's not always the best things. *sigh. I'm really wanting to start again, and although I'm home with a migraine I'm hoping that it will be better soon enough to maybe get a low key work out in this evening. We'll see.

Since starting I've lost:
.75" from my waist
.5" from my hips
+.25 in my thighs
.5" from my arms
.75" from my butt

inches are growing back on me :-(

I'm still confused about whether I'm allowed to "diet" or whether I"m supposed to maintain, so I have it set to lose 1 pound a week and will talk to the doc next week ... but I've gone over every single day this week. My goal is 1330 calories, but the main things I eat are bagels and cream cheese and chips. :-( so it almost always goes over

Hi Girls,

Jalara - your 6 hour challenge sounds like a lot of fun, and I totally know what you mean about the recovery time. I have been noticing that I am able to get back up and do it again much faster!

My calories are set at 1200. I am usually able to stay within 100+/- at least 5 days a week. If I work out, I usually eat about 75% of the calories I earned. I know you are supposed to eat them all, but this is working for me.

I decided to keep track of my progress in the challenges, I am going to make a note each day (see below), as I have been forgetting by the end of the week.

Last but not least, I have a question for you guys. When I first moved to OH 2 years ago, I met this girl at the gym. We became quick friends, but when I met her husband he decided I wasn't good enough for her ( I don't drive a Lexus or live in a million dollar house, I am not stick skinny, I don't have blond hair). She told me she wasn't allowed to hang out with me anymore, as her husband didn't approve of me Anyway, I haven't seen or talked to her in 1 1/2 years. The past 3 days, she has been at the gym, and I have been avoiding her like the plague. It stinks because it is throwing off my entire routine. Should I just suck it up, and deal with her...if she even notices me, or should I continue to switch my schedule around just to avoid her. OK...I know the answer, but do you have any advice if/when we do have an encounter?

Wk 5 Challenge 1/1

My new picture is motivation enough - my dream honeymoon still not taken. My goal is to lose 67 lbs. before we go in (hopefully) June. That is only about 2 lbs. a week if we go toward the end of June. I can do it!

So i've been MIA for a few week me and the kidos were sick for a while that was not fun so i got a little off track but am still managing to lose weigh so far i've been good this week and have been to the gym and done cardio or weights every day.

So every night when i am at the gym so is another women who is about six months prego and she still works out like she's not pregnant she looks so good she is sooo my motivation i want to be able to remain active when i get pregnant and be proud of my baby belly and not feel like my fat is hiding the cute baby belly.

I was on week 3 of C25K until I got sick too I'm hoping to start it again tonight. I have the 30 day shred video as well, but I"m worried to do it with the pregnancy. I think I'll call my OB's office and see if they can answer the question before I see them in 2 weeks.

I forgot to tell you guys that I started the "vomiting stage" yesterday ... eh, I feel horrible

I'm on week four of C25K, but I keep repeating weeks. I think my body is ready to move on, but my head isn't. I wish I could get to a place where running is relaxing and/or enjoyable, but I just can't!

I wish I had a good cure for you, Angela. I threw up multiple times a day for 18 weeks and never found anything that really helped. I found it to be the worst when I ate a big meal. Stick to lots of little meals. Oh, and Taco Bell. That was the one thing that I could always eat!
