I was a little short of my weekly goal (.2 lbs), but I'm very happy with how my first week back to tracking/eating healthier went, especially the weekend, which is usually my weak point. I have a plan for this week, and I'm ready to see more progress! 29 years old, female, 5'6" Original Starting Weight: 196 Challenge…

Hi all! I am new to this challenge, but I've always liked weighing every day. I lost 50 lbs previously on MFP. I gained about 20 "happy" lbs back and got pregnant. I'm almost 11 months postpartum now and done breastfeeding. Ready to hit it hard! 29 years old, female, 5'6" Female, Age 47, 5'0" Original Starting Weight: 196…

Hi everyone! I am only 10 days pp, so I'm not exercising yet, but I am hoping to get some light activity soon. I wish I lived somewhere warmer, so I could take walks outside! I actually feel okay with my body at this point, but I started tracking food on Monday, just to feel more like myself. I would like to lose about 40…

Hi all! I've been MIA for a while. We moved again (settled for the long term now!), and weighing was stressing me out, so I stopped doing it myself outside of doctor's appointments. As of today, I'm 39+4 and up 34.2 lbs. Not too bad! I am very very ready to not be pregnant anymore.

Lately I don't feel as hungry or like I can eat as much. I'm hoping to stay below 35 lbs gained. Only a couple of months left!

Congratulations on your little ones' arrivals, @sardelsa and @KellyBgetsfit!!

My weight was a slightly lower yesterday, but I thought it was a fluke, so I weighed again today. A .4 lb gain in 2 weeks? I'll take it, lol. Week 13: +3.1 lbs Week 14: +6 lbs Week 15: +6.4 lbs Week 16: +6.5 lbs Week 17: +7.8 lbs Week 18: +8 lbs Week 19: not sure - on vacation Week 20: +12.2 lbs Week 21: +12.6 lbs Week 22:…

My goal was initially to stay under 30 lbs gained, but I'll have to bump that to 35 lbs, and I feel like I may gain more than that. :confounded: Trying not to stress about it too much, but it's hard to see the scale going up every week! Week 13: +3.1 lbs Week 14: +6 lbs Week 15: +6.4 lbs Week 16: +6.5 lbs Week 17: +7.8 lbs…

@noel2fit It's kind of crazy that your support system can't relate to worrying about weight gain! It is definitely something that I worry about quite a bit, although I'd love to not stress about it so much. I only weigh once a week, but I find that I get pretty anxious when the day comes, so I give myself some grace -…

@sardelsa I can relate to some of your issues! We just moved states, and we're now 2.5 hours from all of our family. I am 28 weeks now and in full-on nesting mode, but we're only renting for a year or so (until next July, hopefully), so I don't want to do too much to the new place since we won't be here long. It's also…

@hesn92 Congratulations on your little one!! I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Not feeling good about my gain this week. I haven't been tracking, but I've been loosely keeping track of my calorie intake. I thought I did well this week, but I'm not happy with how much I gained (again). Week 13: +3.1 lbs Week 14: +6 lbs Week 15: +6.4 lbs Week 16: +6.5 lbs Week 17: +7.8 lbs Week 18: +8 lbs Week 19: not…

@karen_thinmint Oh my gosh, that was so rude of him! You're doing great!

Week 13: +3.1 lbs Week 14: +6 lbs Week 15: +6.4 lbs Week 16: +6.5 lbs Week 17: +7.8 lbs Week 18: +8 lbs Week 19: not sure - on vacation Week 20: +12.2 lbs Week 21: +12.6 lbs Week 22: not sure Week 23: +14.6 lbs Week 24: skipped Week 25: +18.4 lbs

We've been in the process of moving recently, and I just found my scale today. I weighed midday after I'd already eaten 2 meals, but I'm glad to have an idea of where I'm at. I've been eating so much lately, so I was dreading weighing. I have been pretty active lately, though, too. Week 13: +3.1 lbs Week 14: +6 lbs Week…

@csilladev Girl names are tough! I had a loooong list of girl names that I liked, lol. Too many options out there! My husband has had a boy name picked out since he was a teen, so we'll probably go with that. I don't have any boy names that I'm set on. @hesn92 You're so close! And doing awesome!

Found out yesterday that we're having a boy! We were both really surprised, because for some reason, both my husband and I were convinced we were having a girl, lol. Week 13: +3.1 lbs Week 14: +6 lbs Week 15: +6.4 lbs Week 16: +6.5 lbs Week 17: +7.8 lbs Week 18: +8 lbs Week 19: not sure - on vacation Week 20: +12.2 lbs…

Hi all! I got home from my trip yesterday and weighed in today. @hesn92, I did have a bit of a growth spurt, lol. I definitely splurged on food some of the time, but I also walked A LOT. Week 13: +3.1 lbs Week 14: +6 lbs Week 15: +6.4 lbs Week 16: +6.5 lbs Week 17: +7.8 lbs Week 18: +8 lbs Week 19: not sure - on vacation…

I forgot to weigh until afternoon and I'd already eaten, so I'm happy with the small jump this week. I am leaving tomorrow for a 2 week vacation to Spain and France. I'm hoping the walking will offset some of the food I'll be eating, lol. Although I will be saving calories from the all of the wine I would have been…

@hesn92 Haha, I am going on 2 week vacation starting next week, so I'm definitely expecting a growth spurt. :lol: I haven't been tracking, but I'm mentally trying to stay on top of not going overboard. I'm hoping for a max gain of 30, so we'll see! Your numbers are looking very promising!

I don't feel like I was hungrier or ate any more than usual this week, but there's quite the jump. I do like comparing my numbers to yours, @hesn92, because mine seem pretty close to yours so far, and I would be beyond happy to be where you are at this point!
