I'm feeling the same. I'm at 17.5 weeks and the first trimester I just gained and gained and I wasn't eating because of a virus for about 3 weeks. Then I started eating again and only wanted carbs(Kodiak cakes). Couldn't do my egg white scramble and stopped walking my 4-5 miles and stopped my heavy lifting 3 days a week. I…

The temp is very interesting. I took mine recent and it's been 99.7, 99.6, 99.8ish during the day and I'm guessing because my BMR has gone up with pregnancy because I am hot all the time lately and or weather isn't helping. Do you get enough iodine through your diet? Seafood and iodized salt(not everyone uses iodized salt)…

Awesome results, Beverly!!

Congrats on the engagement! I can't imagine how heavy that tire is. :#

That is such nice progress. Happy to read the updates, keep them coming.

You were missed! Welcome back. :)

I'm about the same height as you give or take 1/4 of an inch ;) but I'm pretty sure you are very active and will need more to fuel yourself. You will be amazed at how you feel after increasing the calories and your workouts will be productive. You will feel like you can tackle it all. Welcome!

Thank you, zanyzana! I will be checking those sites out.

No trainer. I was and still subscribe to Strong by Bret after having gone through Strong Curves by Bret Contreras. It's been about a year of lifting. I was still doing my reset and then this happened and so with calories I didn't want to ask the doctor because they don't have as much info with regard to calories and…

I'm due August 23 but we found out we are having twins so I have no idea what to set my calories to. I just want to avoid a low birthweight. My doctor says he doesn't like to go too far past 37 weeks with twins, so I am looking at the first week of August at this point.

I'm excited to hear about your measurements with your workouts!! Your building some serious muscle, it's awesome.

I haven't been here for your journey but you look radiant! Just lovely! Congratulations!

I know what you mean about added stressor with the Fitbit. It was for me and my crazy obsession with getting everything just right. I haven't missed it. :o Here's to a strong finish this week!

Sevio- I have to say I did quit my walks, they were long, and just figured I would concentrate on strength and adjust calories for 3 times a week workouts. I feel great and so far haven't notice an uptick on the scale. I put my FitBit away and have stopped checking it. With the cooler weather it's the perfect time to…

empressichel- that is hilarious! I love it. :)

Yes, to eating at TDEE!

Going to only add that cheese is another one to check. 5 grams of Parmesan cheese is a bit less than you might think, at least I thought so when I weighed it. Same with cheddar, I can accidentally pack quite a bit more than the actual serving in a 1/4, 1/2 cup, you name it. ;)

I'm with Sevio, I needed this. I'm all over the place. Just need to sit and wait and keep calm and doing what we have been doing.

Thanks Tereza! I forgot about dropping cardio. :#

Oh, and I forgot to mention- Eddie Bauer Trouser jeans have been great for my thighs and making me look longer. They go on sale and I signed up for their emails so I take advantage of their promo codes and I would suggest the petite Sevio.

I bought some best girlfriend jeans online from the gap and also some bootcut because for a short girl they lengthen my legs and balance my thighs. I have the thigh thing going on no matter what. I'm 39 going on 40 and they work. :) I also bought some bootcut jeans from Eddie bauer(I take advantage of the big mark offs).…

Oh, I'm ok eating more food I just was worried about the possible error. I haven't had a problem hitting 2200 calories lately! :) I'm getting too used to the extra calories :D and wondering how I can live on a cut, lol! I've entered cut numbers and kind of gone :# to myself. I weighed myself in the morning and come out 2-3…

So, do you all think that in light of a possible Fitbit error with my stride length I should dial down calories to 1950 until I have a chance to get to a track to nail it down and measure properly?

Thanks heybales- I will try that out. Although I am still a little stumped because I haven't hit TDEE technically and I'm gaining. FYI: I went to the doctor today and got in(a new practice) for a dandruff prescription and to talk about the weight gain and she told me to eat no more than 1200 calories and to stop walking so…

Thank you everyone. I understand what you are saying. I never dieted in the past. I lost some weight twice in my life once in my early-mid 20s and then started almost 2 years ago. My parents are anti-diet, if that makes sense. My mom always had whole milk and butter and generously uses olive oil in everything, it's how I…

Slow cooker beef sounds so tasty. We've been grilling and I am really longing for some weather that at least isn't the 80s or 90s so we can roast something, anything in the oven! Enjoy the week!

Thank you heybales, for responding. I don't have any illness. I'm fairly lucky and don't have any chronic conditions or take medication. We have had some dry, warm weather and when the Santa Ana winds kick up my allergies bother me but that is about it. I checked the Fitbit graphs and they look accurate. I have 15 minute…

kmac1196- thanks so much for posting your journey. It's such a help and inspiration to us. I'm excited to see how your cut goes. You are doing great!

Daily messed up mind game is right, Sevio. "I am going to try and hit TDEE" and "I want to cut now!", are in my head all at the same time. :#

Don't worry after a day or two it will be soo easy. ;)
