  • I have had nausea with all 3 of my little gifts. Even though it doesn't sound appealing at all, protein tends to quell the nausea the most effectively. I have been having luck eating rotisserie chicken and a side salad. In between meals, when I'm queasy, I've had success this pregnancy sucking on a jolly rancher here and…
  • Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm also pregnant, due in early September. I gained 70 lbs with #1, 28 lbs with #2 and then lost a ton of weight afterwards ending at 137 (maintenance). I'm trying so hard not to let it get out of control this pregnancy but I'm having a very hard time staying away from the bad foods! I'll…
  • I made this for the family this weekend with the following modifications: 1 lb 80/20 ground beef 4 slices bacon 1 bunch green onion 3 cloves fresh garlic 3 eggs a few TBSPs mayo 1/4 c. heavy whipping cream 1 c. sharp cheddar Made it all in cast iron, no draining. My two kids (4 and 2) are very picky eaters and have refused…
  • Definitely interested. Might help bring me out of my lurkdom!
  • I just made an immediate change to my meal plan for the week to include this. Thanks so much for sharing!! How was it?
  • WT: 144lbs (down from 191lbs) HT: 5'4 Squat: 180lbs Deadlift: 210 lbs Bench: 100lbs OHP: 90lbs Barbell row: 120lbs Pretty new to lifting (as in less than 6 months). Eating at a slight deficit and go ahead and add me to the weak upper body category! Actually, this is my first time EVER posting on the subject. Currently, I'm…
  • They also have the pink Himalayan salt at Costco (in the grinder)!
  • Wow, FIT_Goat, you look amazing!
  • mizzou=I graduated from the University of Missouri gal=girl 11=my favorite number +it's my ebay name and I try to keep my username's the same whenever possible. Wish I could do the same with passwords!
  • Feel free to add me. I've been eating keto off and on and starting tomorrow, I'm back on, 100%. I need to accountability; I've been completely lazy about tracking so far this summer.
  • First picture represents my starting weight: 190 lbs 5 ft 4 in tall: I spent two years doing off and on keto. I like alcohol and carbs so I do take maintenance breaks every few months and hover within a 5 lb range. These represent my before and after pictures for Stronglifts 5x5 . The before picture is me at my maintenance…
  • If you are a spur of the moment cheater (with food), try brushing your teeth. For most people, eating right afterwards is not appealing so it may give you the time you need for the craving to pass.
  • Feel free to add me. I'm 5'4, currently weigh 144 (down from 190), with a UGW of 125. I am an avid MFP tracker/user/supporter.
  • I have a pro-stamina elliptical trainer under my desk and I'm using it at this very moment. I love it; I've been using it daily since August 2013 and it's held up really well. The only potential negative is that it really doesn't work too well if you sit in a swivel chair. I actually have a folding chair that I get out…
  • I gave up artificial sweeteners in July. I have become accustomed to drinking iced tea without any sweetener, but I've also gone from 4 glasses a day to maybe one per week. I generally stick with 100% water. I do love it without anything added but I also love it with a squeeze of lemon or infused with fruit and/or…
  • No, for the nausea.
  • I paid for an eating plan through a nutritionist. I've lost 55 lbs since July (20 lbs of that was baby weight) and I'm happy with the plan/variety. I don't think I'd consider it from a trainer though.
  • Toast with peanut butter? Just something light that is easy on your tummy. Good luck on your exam!
  • I like to make a batch of 12 egg muffins on Sunday for the week ahead. Just whip 6 eggs and add whatever veggies/protein/cheese you like to mix (or have on hand) and pour evenly across 12 muffin tins. Bake at 350 for about 20 min. They freeze nicely and make a great breakfast on the go.

  • Hang in there. You know it gets better soon! I always struggled with foods that first year too. Eat high protein foods as much as possible and try to stick with fruits for your sugars. Those are the only two things that helped me with the crazy pp cravings. Are you nursing, by chance? That can make it harder to get a hold…
  • I lost 30 lbs before people started noticing which was 1 dress size. I'm close to goal and now I only have to lose 6 or 7 lbs to lose a dress size.
  • 5'4. Mom of 2. Top weight post pregnancy was 191. CW: 140 GW: 125 (Original goal, it's less about weight anymore; I may need to revise) I must say I feel like I look really good at 135 (I was 135 a week prior to Thanksgiving), and I wear a size 4 at that weight. I'm not looking to get any smaller than a 4.
