  • I don't know that I can offer any advice on this really since I'm in the same boat. Everything tastes and smells funny now. I used to love veggies too, now I just want a cheese burger (but not that I'm indulging). I'm forcing myself to eat the veggies, which are better with dip. Honey mustard tastes pretty good on steamed…
  • FYI: Just found out that almond milk only has 1 gram of protein. I was drinking it all along thinking it had the same amount as soy milk. It's good if you are looking for low calories, but my OB wants to me to get in as much protein as possible.
  • I set mine to maintenance as well. It's allowing me 1700 calories a day, but can't say that I typically eat that much before being pregnant. I have strict orders not to gain any weight while pregnant. I'm trying to remember to log, but honestly, I get too busy and sidetracked easily. I'm trying to make sure I get enough…
  • First child - 13 weeks on Sunday.
  • One more thing - I work in an office with a sedentary job. My OB said to not sit longer than 45 minutes. Pregnant women are more likely to experience blood clots due to the higher levels of estrogen.
  • I didn't find out that I was pregnant until the 8th week, had it confirmed in the 9th week. I thought I had the flu, which others in my office had experienced recently. I was randomly sick every day but at different times, mostly nausea and dry heaves. A lot of dizziness. I had fits of irritability - little things that…
  • Hi Ladies! I'm 10 weeks along now. Please feel free to add me. Need support eating healthier and drinking more water.
  • Doc wants me to avoid carbs - which is hard - im Italian! Eating raw veggies and fresh fruits throughout the day. Had fresh cherries and grapes throughout yesterday. It helped keep my energy up which has also been a problem.
  • Hello everyone. I'm 35 years old and pregnant for the first time ever. It was a surprise pregnancy. I'm nearly 10 weeks along now. I weigh 174 and my OB classified me as obese. Not nice to hear but I'm short so that advances my bmi automatically. She doesn't want me eating any carbs. I don't know how I will do that. Need…
  • I agree with DemoraFairy, it sounds like you may not be eating enough. That will put your body into starvation mode to where it holds onto fat to preserve itself. I always gain weight myself when I first start trying to lose. My issue is water, I know I don't drink enough.
  • So funny that I found this thread. Was thinking about this the last week. I joined the Friday Weigh-ins group a little over a month ago and had two visits with Aunt Flo during this time. I weigh myself twice a week, usually Monday and Friday and noticed that I pick up 3-4 pounds during PMS and all through it, then drop…
  • I was on the pill for 8 years for non-birth control reasons. I gained weight instantly the first month, then the second month (went up several sizes). For five years I watched my diet and exercised regularly at the gym with little to no success. I stopped taking the pill and the weight fell off within months. I've had…
  • Hi JulioF90 - While in "Food" Tab, go to Recipes and build your own recipe. I have a few for the smoothies I make for myself. After you do create your recipe, go back to your daily diary and select the food entry from your Recipes instead of the search box. Hope this helps. :)
  • Congratulations! You look amazing!
  • I'm in! I normally do Saturdays too, but I'll switch to Friday.
