... Anyone willing to take them off my hands if I were to offer to bake them for you? Not that I can even bake in this condition, but I'm bored out of my mind and want something to do so I've been browsing recipes. :-/
You don't have to ask me twice!! Oh wow!! YUM
I really wish I knew more people just so I can bake and dump my baked goods on them. *sigh* But Eid is coming and I'm totally making a HUGE peanut butter pie and totally eating a ton of it. Calories don't count in Eid, after all.0 -
Confession: My daughter is very pregnant and I don't want to wait any longer to meet my granddaughter! Have that baby already!0

Congrats @bkhamill !!!
I confess that I am only 21 years old and don't think I'm ready to have a baby by any means, but sometimes I have dreams that I am very pregnant or have an infant and wake up feeling strangely empty, confused, and sad. Any one else do this? Or did this?0 -

I dreamt the other night I was pregnant but sad, empty and confused were not the way I woke up feeling0 -

Lily/Lilly seems to be a popular baby name lately. My sister's best friend just had a baby she named Lillian, and since then I have seen two more people on Facebook name their infant daughters the same. Lily Kay is really cute! Once again, congrats!
EDIT: LOL @riderfangal, I hear ya! If I were actually pregnant I'm sure there would be plenty of panicking going on.0 -
I already have a grandson - Noah James, he calls me Nana. He is getting a the little sister. (I also have two angel babies whose names are Lauren Adel and Landon David - my oldest sons babies who were born with a genetic disorder)0 -

Thanks, and the Lily name comes from my husbands grandmother.0 -
Thanks for all the lovely congratulations wishes! I feel special The problem is I've been here before, never quite reached my goal (right now it's 145) and then gained it all back again. Any long-term maintainers got any tips?
I'm feeling guilty because my step count's been terrible for the past week. It's hot and I just can't get the energy up, and there always seem to be other things to do.
I'm sure everyone's strategy to maintain will be different, but I've maintained the same 5ish pound range for 2+ years now. For me, what's been helpful is having that 5 lb range and then continuing to weigh all the time (daily, typically) to make sure I'm in that range. I haven't logged food in maintenance other than an occasional spot check, because I got pretty good at estimating when I was losing. That being said, I know a lot of other people have been successful doing the opposite of me: tossing the scale and continuing to log food. So maybe staying mindful one way or another might be the ultimate tip.
(Seems a little weird saying this as I just confessed I'm really pissed because I'm one pound over what I want to be - but I'm quite sure it's just DOMS, so I figure I still count as a long-term maintainer).0 -

Sorry you are having a rough time, but those calories are nothing, you will overcome them. Focus on your kid and your well being.0 -

I've been maintaining within a 5 lb range for over a year (until last month). I tried not logging food for 6 weeks and ended up 6 lbs over my lowest, so I'm back to logging now. I weigh daily, record my weight weekly. I'm trying to keep the same activity level as when I was losing weight. My ultimate goal is to be able to maintain within that 5 lb range without logging food. I think maintenance is harder than losing was!0 -

Aw yay!! I love the name Nana, that's what I want to be when I have grandkids too!0 -

Ha! Yep, I tend to have a different reaction to pregnancy dreams. Congrats @bkhamill!0 -

I recently dreamed I was pregnant and my daughter and I had babies on the same day, that would be awful! I already raised my babies, no thank you!
And thanks for the congrats.0
