No problem, I actually popped over here to maintenance to look for a thread for pregnant ladies myself! This is my first, so at the risk of talking out of my *kitten*, it seems to me that as long as we don't give in to eating a butt-ton of everything, or giving into every craving we have, the weight gain should stay an…

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I set my goal to maintenance. However, I didn't have time to ease into maintenance before I got pregnant, so jumping from 1200-1400 to 1900-2000 is ridiculous unless I just eat high calorie crap all day. So I'm just focusing on eating healthy and often, especially on days where I don't feel that…

Thank you !!!

Well here's an odd one. IM PREGNANT!! Part of why I started taking care of my eating habits better was we decided a year ago that we would start trying to have kids at the end of this year. I made it into a healthy bmi last month, had my birth control removed dec 10th, and got pregnant the same day!! Found out yesterday!❤️

My rings don't fit anymore! I had lost a bunch of weight before I found MFP over the years and my ring size went from an 8.5 to a 6.5, and I assumed that's as low as it would get because cmon, they're fingers, how much fat can they have on them? Well, just a little bit more, apparently, as I am now measuring at a 5. I…

I feel ya! I was ecstatic just to fit into Large Victoria's Secret lounge pants, and now I'm in mediums!

I did hoop dancing for about a year back in the day. I still have my hoops out in the garage somewhere. It's a lot of fun to learn tricks, but it came with a lot of bruises and busted faces too lol. It was great cardio, and it's easy to lose track of the time once you get into it and find your flow (aka when you aren't…

Ack, that's the best isn't it!? I bought a t shirt from an art show last winter and it said it was an XL (hah, maybe in baby sizes) and it was so tight that it rolled up from the bottom when I tried it on lol. I loved the shirt, so I kept it, and forgot about it. Until a month or two ago, when I tried it on and finally…

I didn't add pics to my first post, so here's some for reference. I'm 5'10" and hold my weight AALLL up in mah hips. And boobs. This is probably around 230, size 18. Same day, Said size 18s (on the left, obviously) In the low 180s here I think, loose 14 (those are the size 18s from the previous photo) 176-177ish, Size 12s.…

chest and hips. Also the first places I gain.

Did some yoga tonight for the first time in probably 2-3 months. And by yoga I mean actual yoga, not just stretching (which I sometimes try to convince myself is yoga). Anyway, It was.... bizarre. I could actually touch the floor, whereas before my hamstrings were too tight for that nonsense. My boobs weren't getting all…

hula hooping?

yup, her 12 is smaller than my 12 :)

5'10" Highest weight 260, size 20 Starting weight 211, size 18 Hit tight size 14 around 186 Hit tight size 12 around 177 Hit size 10 around 173 Current weight 171.6 I'm not expecting to fit into an 8 for another 8-10lbs. Keep in mind brands have a lot more to do with size than measurements, at least in the states. Those…

I posted this today in the nsv thread actually. Yesterday was my 200th day of mfp and in that time my measurements have gone from 44/35/49 to 37.5/29/39. I know I've lost at least an inch on my arms and calves, but I kind of stopped keeping up with thighs because I felt like I kept measuring at different places, I think…

Hah, I only just tried making gluten free brownies. They were devoured at thanksgiving and no one believed that they were made of beans and avocados.

Yup I did it the hardcore way, cut gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, corn, night shades, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, beef, processed meat... I'm probably forgetting one. Cut for 6 weeks, the 4th week cut meat entirely. When I started adding back I did it very slowly. Add one food a few days out of a week, the next week eat…

I avoid gluten as part of a restricted diet to help control lupus flare ups. It works. I've been off my meds for a while and I am in much, much less pain and haven't had a major flare up since. It took some getting used to, because at first I didn't just cut out gluten, I cut out all kinds of stuff, then added them back in…

This. I measure at home, and bring my own food to work every day. If we go out, I look up their menu online first to see what my options are, and plug that into mfp and play around with it to see what I can fit into my day and what I can't. That being said I go out to eat very rarely. Occasionally i'll have a stint where I…

Today is my 201st day of logging, and as of this morning my measurements have gone from 44/35/49 to 37.5/29/39 and i've dropped 4 sizes. I can remember going shopping last minute for something "Facier" to wear to my company christmas party and it just being a miserable experience trying to squeeze my butt into some…

I have almond butter, my husband has peanut butter. I'll sneak a spoon of his now and then, but for the most part almond butter is less sweet to me so it doesn't start a sudden sugar/fat craving the way peanut butter does. Its funny, I used to raise my eyebrows at people on these forums having such a boner for peanut…

I eat pre-seasoned chicken quarters from the store a couple times a week *shrug*

yeaah... 1000k a day plus working out? I'd end up vomiting and then sleeping all day. To keep energy up I wouldn't take supplements, I'd add calories to a reasonable level to maintain this lifestyle of working out, so that you don't burn out and give up.

water weight is my guess too. After my trip to Las Vegas I gained 5lbs, and that was with me eating healthy the entire time we were there. We also did a LOT of walking and I was so sore (muscles need water!) and also it's the frigging desert. It all came off within a week. Several weeks ago I had soup from my favorite…

My highest weight was 260 at 5'10". If people were whispering behind my back (as an adult), I thank them for being intelligent enough to never let me hear it. I got a lot of "you have such a pretty face" "you're the smart one in the family" stuff, but I didn't give that a negative twist, because c'mon, it'd be weird if…

We are all so used to how we look, and when proportions change it can be weird. I remember maybe 3 months into losing weight I was doing yoga in downward dog and I looked down and I could see my thighs were like... WEIRD looking. They'd gotten more squishy and I don't even know... looser? Like the fat on them was just…

This. I began losing weight (this time) partially as a side effect of controlling my autoimmune disease with my diet, an experiment that worked surprisingly well! And also because I knew we wanted to start trying to have kids at the end of this year, and while my doctor at the time said my weight wasn't a huge issue in…

Without getting into a long story, my mom has the emotional range of a teaspoon, as Hermione would say. She sidesteps anything that requires real emotion or honesty with teasing or jokes. It pisses me off less as an adult than it did when I was a teenager (oh boy THAT was a fun time!) and she's been working on the personal…

I haven't noticed much of a change from strangers, other than people tend to come up to me in stores and ask if I need help more often. I just assumed its because I had a giant purse and they thought I was shop lifting :wink: The change I HAVE noticed is from a few people in my personal life, and it isn't good. I'm…

I'm 88lbs from my highest weight, but just like weight loss isn't linear, weight gain isn't either. I was probably between 170-180 in high school. Went up to 212 after high school. Back down to 180 after a year. 2 years later I was up to 260! The following near-decade was a mashup of losing and gaining. 230, 199, 220, 212,…
