  • I guess my goal for this month is to maintain? lol I forgot to weigh myself last Friday, but I will this Friday and I'll post. I changed MFP to maintenance and man does that extra 500 calories feel like a lot on some days! Its tough to change my mindset to say its okay to eat that much. I think I'll probably still come in…
  • @Kirstie155 I'm hoping all of your negative tests are wrong as well so that we can go through this together! @pezhed Balancing the importance of your goals and eating with your spouse's schedule and ideas can be so tough. Sounds like you have a very level head about it and you thought of many different options to help out…
  • @Kirstie155 Thank you! Yes, I am glad that I was already working hard at losing weight and made it almost halfway to my goal of 30 pounds. Hopefully that will make it easier to gain a healthy amount of weight and then take it all back off again. And I totally agree with you, I don't plan to tell the brides until after the…
  • Well, in a turn of events that I certainly wasn't expecting or planning...I'm pregnant. Obviously I didn't do a great job of charting my body temp/cycle for prevention this month lol. Last week my breasts were feeling pretty sore, but I just bought a new bra that I had worn for a few days in a row, so I figured that was…
  • First is my 30th Birthday in August...my goal for 2017 was to lose 30 pounds by my 30th! Second, I am a bridesmaid in 2 weddings in October! Great motivation to keep going after my birthday so I feel great in my dresses & all of the photos.

  • Thank you @1fit_mamma !!
  • I think our first month TTC will be September or October. My goal for this year was to lose 30 pounds by my 30th Birthday in August, so hopefully I'll be down to around 146 by the time we start!
  • I had a pretty good weekend....not food wise lol. We were very productive. We painted our dining room, installed our new chandelier, and put together our new entertainment center for the living room. The first 2 people (besides my husband) mentioned that I looked like I lost weight which was awesome. Also, I had to go…
  • I had to shop for a bridesmaid dress this weekend. I invited my sister in law to join me, and when she saw me she asked if I lost weight! She is the first person to mention something (besides my husband!). While at David's Bridal the consultant asked me what size I thought I was and I answered 12. She brought me the first…

  • @Kirstie155 good luck girl!!!
  • 2017 Starting Weight: 176.5 March Starting Weight: 166 3/10 - 165.5 March Goal: 161....stretch goal of 159! Only 0.5 pound this week, but I'm not surprised with my giant indulgence last weekend. I did use the gym at work during lunch twice this week, and it felt really nice to get some exercise in again! @kirstie155…
  • 2017 Starting Weight: 176.5 March Starting Weight: 166 3/3 - 166 3/10 - 165.5 Total March Loss - 0.5 lbs I'm not happy with the loss but also not surprised. I have to stay closer to my calories on the weekends!
  • Congrats @puffbrat !! So exciting :) I'd also love to hear names you are considering! We already have a short list for boy & girl names...and have for years even though we aren't TTC until later this year haha. For boys I really like Everett, Finn, Theo, and Felix and I kinda like Grover (I'm all over the place haha)!…
  • Okay I made a decision today; I am going to sign up for the gym at my office. I've been avoiding it because I don't really enjoy working out during my lunch time, but I'm also not working out in the mornings or the evenings sooooo something's gotta give! I ate way over my calories on Saturday because we starting painting…
  • @Kirstie155 it will take you a little bit of trying to figure it out and see the trends. Make sure you are doing it at about the same time every morning, before you get out of bed. I notice that if I forget and get up to go to the bathroom or something, and then take my temp it will be off. You are also supposed to track…
  • 2017 Starting Weight: 176.5 March Starting Weight: 166 March Goal: 161....stretch goal of 159!
  • 2017 Starting Weight: 176.5 March Starting Weight: 166 3/3 - 166 March Goal 161.....stretch goal of 159! I told myself I will not shop for any clothes until I hit the 150s!
  • Great goals everyone! I weigh in on Fridays, so I will put my March starting weight here then, but goal is 5 pounds. Last week I was at 167, and I told myself NO SHOPPING until I'm in the 150s! Once I hit 159 I'll be down 17 pounds since Jan, so it will be a nice perk to donate some older clothes and shop for a few new…
  • I absolutely love to read and spend a lot of time currently reading due to my commute (2 45 minute train rides each work day). Pregnancy/Prevention wise I read Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. I purchased it right after I went off birth control last year and I was honestly blown away by how little I knew…
  • Congrats @Teegan84! I adore the name Harrison! I hope you and babe are both doing well and recovering!
  • @katycapp So sorry for your loss. Sending lots of hugs and happy thoughts your way.
  • Small success: I logged everything I ate and drank the entire weekend. I have not done that the past 2 weekends and the scale reflected those choices. I am bridesmaid in 2 weddings in October and one of the ladies has requested we order our dresses in the month of March. So, I need to make an appointment in the next few…
  • haha ohh @WifiresGettingFit that made me laugh!
  • Starting Weight 1/27 - 169.5 2/3 - 168.5 (-1) 2/10 - 167.5 (-1) 2/17 - 167 (-0.5) 2/24 - 167 (-0) Feb end goal - 165.4 Not hitting that Feb goal, but I wasn't expecting a loss after how I ate last weekend. But, at least it wasn't a gain and I will focus on more diligently eating and tracking on the weekends.
  • @dbanks80 good luck! I always start doing this after a little success, I think I can treat myself and then go overboard. Back to logging everything, every day for me. Enjoy the Mexican food!
  • 1/27 - 169.5 2/3 - 168.5 (-1 lb) 2/10 - 167.5 (-1 lb) 2/17 - 167 (-0.5 lb) 2/24 - 167 (-0 lb) Total Feb Loss - 2.5 lbs Feb goal: 164.5 I was happy to have not gained this week, but obviously won't be hitting my Feb goal. This is the first week of the year that I haven't lost and its easily traced back to my awful eating…
