I'm 232 and I run :) I did it when I started two years ago at 243, lost 50lbs between dancing, walking, running, and 30 Day Shred. Got pregnant Nov 2011 just as I was about to finish my half marathon training. I'm almost starting over again in both weight loss and running. So right now I'm doing couch to 5k (again), Just…

I was almost finished with my half marathon training Nov 2011 and found out I was pregnant. I had our baby girl Aug 21st 2012 and I started up c25k again Jan 2nd. I have my first half marathon March 23rd. We can do it!

Not commenting to add more miles, just wanted to say YOU ROCK! And what an awesome idea!!

Fabulous! You look GREAT!

That is a huge deal :) WTG!! Just think how you'll feel when you do the final run! It's an amazing feeling!! I went from doubling over to catch my breath after a 30sec jog to completing the program, it's such an accomplishment! ( here's my blog on graduating : http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/BrunetteWife?month=201007 )…

For some reason, my post never posted :/ So Monday night, 8/20,, naturally, I couldn't but 2hrs before the induction. Tuesday morning,8/21,, I got up from my 2hrs of sleep at 3:45am, called the hospital to make sure we had a room ready and by 4:30a, Nick and I headed up. Got checked in and put in our L&D room and by 6am, I…

I have to be at the hospital in 9hrs to start my induction. I'm a mess of emotions right now. I'll post a birth story when we get to leave the hospital, hopefully on Thursday, but anything is possible! Good luck to all the ladies in waiting!!!

<----I am issuing a notice for EVICTION. Tenant will have 16 hours in which she can either gather her belongings and promptly vacate the premises, or wait until the final day. After which she will be removed from the property. Tenant is being evicted due to breech of contract and destruction of property. Expansions only to…

Aw, congrats!! My due date was yesterday..still nothing. So she has until Monday to come out on her own, if not, induction scheduled on the 21st. DH will be home Saturday (unless she comes sooner) and I can't wait to be a family of 3! Of course, he'll only get a week home, then it's back to Chicago for him, but as soon as…

Congrats to all the new mommies and babies!!! Today's my due date.. no labor signs yet, aside from losing my MP on Friday. Either way, this day next week, I'll be holding her :noway: :heart: :cry:

I had a little cramping Thursday after my sweep but they died down by bed. Lost a little of my MP Friday night and I've had slight bleeding on and off since last night around 10:30. Called the hospital at 530a and they said to keep an eye on it since I'm not heavily bleeding or having any contractions. Still slightly…

Just got back from my appt....I'm still a +1 station and 90%, then he said I'm a 2-3cm, but doing a bishops score he said 3-4cm..so wth?! LOL! AND, I was able to have him do a membrane sweep :D However, worst case scenario, I have an induction scheduled for the 21st. Come on baby!

Had my 38wk doc appt this morning.. :/ Blah. Well, I'm 90% thinned out but we went back in progress.. back to a 1cm from the 2-3cm last week. :/ However, Nick will be home tomorrow for the weekend, which is perfect timing for my birthday on Saturday, but I don't think Miranda will make her appearence this weekend...

Real quick update from doc appt: I'm 2-3cm dilated and 80% effaced. Could be anytime, could still be a week past my due date of 8/14. Reguardless, it's progress!! I have been having lots of BH since last Thurs when they took out the cerclage, but no real ones that I'm aware of. Hope you all are doing ok with this weather.…

Whoops! I 'closed' the last thread and didn't know it. I didn't see any updates in my topics and then I saw I was post 500.... so hello all that are still around and welcome over to those who are 'new'! Real quick update from doc appt: I'm 2-3cm dilated and 80% effaced. Could be anytime, could still be a week past my due…

Hi ladies! Officially full term as of yesterday, wooo hooo! Had my cerclage taken out last Thurs, as of then I was at a 1cm and 50-60% effaced and her head is right there ready to go. I've finally been feeling BH but nothing more. I have my 37wk check up tomorrow morning. Hopefully I've made some progress. Doc said last…

Home from the doc appt. Cerclage came out within 5min (and naturally, he had to show me what it looked like, I could have dealt without the visual, lol) and aside from a quick pinch, it was painless. I have very slight cramp like feeling since he took it out, but not painful. Tomorrow is my last day of work til Sept 25th…

Congrats! You look great!

Congrats to you Jalyn, so sorry you had to go through a c-section and the meds made you feel that way, but seriously, congrats on your little one! All that matters is that you are both healthy and home :) Melissa, I hope everything has gone smoothly for you. I had to quit the gym and my workouts per doc (thanks to my…

Congrats Kelley!! You are much stronger than I! I know my pain tolerence, I'm getting the epidural, unless for some reason I've progressed farther than they thought and I miss the chance to get it. Congrats again! AFM Hubby made it home at 1:30am Wed and leaves Mon. Almost a full week with him <3 Doc appt later this…

The problem... it was my dad's mother that said it! Though she wasn't in my life til recently, so I don't consider her my grandma, more like a great aunt. I don't get along well with her due to her stupid up filter being broken... I wish people would just keep those kind of comments to themselves! It's hard to forget them,…

Well, I was told when they take out the stitch, it could be possible for me to go into labor about a week or so later, but really, I suppose it's always possible with every pregnancy. My shower was mostly good, had a few minor set backs. And the money from work as a complete surprise and done just over the weekend and…

Fabulous job!!! Congrats! Keep at it !!

Whoops, forgot to post after last weeks' appt. Everything was still going well. My AFL was back up and over 10 so no bed rest, yay! I have my regular check up this Friday, perfect timing because Nick will be home this weekend, so he gets to go. He hasn't been to an appt since April! My back pain has mostly subsided. But my…

Looking great Heidi!!!

Thanks! And yes I did enjoy the big city :) And for sure, I've been at 14 everyday so far :) But I don't think the pain was me. I don't recall posting anything with pain (as I've not had any pain or contractions that I know of at least).
