Congrats!!! Just sent you a FR. Feel free to join our 'Fit, Fabulous, and Pregnant' group too! I think normal varies far and wide for calories during pregnancy. I ate at maintenance until 20 weeks and then bumped up by 350 at 20 weeks, but spoke with a prenatal nutritionist about it. I am currently set to gain a pound a…

I like that almond milk takes less water to produce than cows milk and puts out no methane so I originally switched to it for the environmental impact. The fact that it's also lower calorie was a bonus when trying to lose weight. Now I prefer the savings of buying the shelf-stable box, only refrigerating when I'm ready to…

Pregnant and supposed to be getting 2300 to gain +1lbs/week. Actually eat around 2000 daily because that's how much I can manage. When I want to lose weight MFP frequently puts me at 1600-1800 before exercise... It varies widely with your age, height, activity level, and some medical oddities like pregnancy and nursing.…

Toast for sure with salt and pepper, sometimes cayenne On top of "bowls" so quinoa + broccoli + avocado slices, brown rice + tofu + avocado slices, etc In "salads" so tomato + cucumber + avocado chunks + dressing Chunks on top of soups or tacos as a replacement for cheese Blended in smoothies for adding fat/creaminess

Apples and carrots like every every day. Most days: bananas, mixed salad greens, some type of raw nuts (almonds, cashews, or walnuts usually)

We call my grandma Nana too <3 Calories are the most important number- in vs out will create the weight loss. The other numbers which are basically macros I'd work on slowly tweaking over time. Focus on calories to start, then adjust choices as you notice patterns. If you're always over on sugar and under on fat for…

I'm pregnant, mostly vegetarian (seafood once weekly), and crossfit. My food journal is open. I get my protein from beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, eggs, dairy, and occasionally fish. It's not hard to get 70-100g of protein if you're looking at macros and not just stuffing in carbs which is what trips up most…

Plan B is don't let one indulgence sink the ship, continue with the rest of the plan as though the off-plan thing hadn't happened. Getting it right with 90-95% accuracy will still get similar results. Sweep the 10% under the rug and enjoy the leeway.

Mine is open (and vegetarian), although rarely filled out all the way. I typically log while at work and just make sure I'm on track to eat my dinner/ know wether or not I should eat dessert that night.

@karen_thinmint Congrats on the little one!!! Joined both PP groups for 10 weeks from now (wishful thinking hoping it'll be 8...) They both look a smidge dead, but stick around and maybe ladies from here can liven them up a bit. Maybe there's a water challenge or a stroller jogging challenge or something like that everyone…

**Now accepting sexist, classist gifts** <-- Feel free to mail all rage-discarded Pelotons to this girl!

@karen_thinmint Was there a separate PP group? I've been checking in for your update on the babe!! Hope everything went smoothly for you, but assuming those first couple weeks of sleep deprivation are SPARTA!

Neither! Tree trimmings! Get them from a place like Whole Foods that sells breeds that don't shed. Build a "tree-pee" if you will, decorate, use only lights that don't heat up because it is dry branches and a fire hazard if you use the old fashioned lights and leave it on. Then for Yule, strip the tree and have yourself a…

Much more pregnant

I'm eating vegetarian these days. In an ideal world I'd go vegan, but vegetarian is working out great currently so sticking with that. Feel free to add!

I've had this struggle in the past and have let exercise go which sucked. I'm a full-time working mom, and I handle 100% of meal prep and cooking at home. At the suggestion of some people on the forums here, I have basically committed to losing sleep to make fitness happen. 5am is the only time that works for me to…

Me too!! Post for adds!

^I agree with the above! Finding exercise I actually liked made a huge difference from sporadic jogging and Pinterest challenge charts to a set weekly schedule that I always show up for. My favorite exercise is expensive as hell and worth every penny because pretending I'm ever going to love the treadmill is just lying to…

I'm 5'6" and pretty medium framed I think, and I agree with the chart there. I easily maintain at 145lbs while enjoying junky treats and sporadic exercise, but when I'm fit and trim and on my game 135 is my happy weight.

My husband and I both gain and lose weight, and move toward and away from healthy eating, and it's a pretty normal ebb and flow for us. We mention it to each other or suggest changes if we're trying to nudge the other person, but in the end everyone is an individual and gets to decide about their own body. Our marriage…
