Just an update: I am 31 weeks now and am currently sitting at a 42lb gain! So yes, I am still eating horribly. BUT I am super active and I feel like I'm always starving! Food that was once considered a meal for me is now a snack! I had a few weeks where I was tracking my food and really "trying" and I will admit that my…

I personally think it's wrong for drs to say that or come down hard on us for gaining more then is recommended at any given time. I know I'm complaining about my gain but the truth is, our bodies will do what they want when we are pregnant. A good dr would know that and merely let us know (one time is sufficient) it's…

As of today I am up 31lbs. I gained 2.6lbs last week and was super active. We just bought a small farmette and have spent the last two weekends moving. Plus I have my two horses at home now. Between moving boxes, putting things away, and taking care of the farm...I'm super surprised I didn't lose weight last week. I'm…

Also, if I switch my calorie goal to "maintenance" and then use this trimester adjustment thing everyone is talking about (which I have no clue how to get), do I use my pre-pregnancy weight for maintenance or my current whale weight?

Update: I'm 24 weeks (tomorrow) and up 28.5lbs. After reading everyones responses I feel like I could do a LOT better with foods choices. I still don't eat healthy. The thought of chicken and veggies just doesn't sound appealing. Now....pop tarts, cookies, and cereal sound great and that's what I've been eating :( I've…

Ok....two questions. 1) Where do I look for this Trim Healthy Mama Plan? and 2) how do I find the 2nd trimester calorie adjusment on here?

I am up 28.5lbs and I have 16 weeks left to go :/ Everything you said here sounds exactly like me! To a T! It's discouraging but if it's anything like my first pregnancy, I know that once the baby is out I will revert back to "normalness" almost immediately. It is so weird. Before this pregnancy I watched what I ate,…

Hi all. I'm new to this group. Since I'm out of that gross/sick stage now I'm feeling well enough to start getting this under control.

I'm in. I planned on doing a dry January already and have been AF since 1/2/16. I did have a couple of triggers today already but let them go. I figured if I could find a thread here maybe it would help get me through the month. I drink fairly heavily and have for the last 4.5 years. I used to hold steady in the mid 130's…

Way to go everyone :) I'm on day 3 AGAIN!! I've been doing this for a few weeks now and it's getting easier to go three days. I'm still struggling with going longer. So far I've not had anything to drink 50% of the month so far. Not 100% but 50% is better than what I was doing. What is this Whole30 that everyone is talking…

I've gotten to the point, recently, where I have no control of moderation after my first drink. It's helping me to think about it, if I get a craving. I just don't want to waste all of those calories anymore. Last night the husband and I went out to eat. I had lemon water, while he had beer. After dinner, we went to our…

I'd enjoy losing 30lbs!! Seems like an overstretch for me though :/

I'm in the same boat. I'll do well, lose weight, and then feel like I can be more lax because I've lost weight. Then I end up gaining it back and then a little extra. I started trying to lose weight last October when my all-time high hit 146. Somehow I've managed to increase that to 153. I'm not happy about this and yet I…

So last week I decided to try sparking water. All of you seem to enjoy it and it's a good alcohol substitute. Ok -- I tried 4 different kinds and I believe it's the grossest beverage I've ever had. Yuck!!! I don't know how you guys can stand it!!! I have not made it the entire month without alcohol, but I will say that…

@Brooke1076 right now I am short on hobbies. If I'm not working, cooking, or cleaning...than I usually sit in front of the TV and surf the news or whatever on my phone. Usually all of this is done while drinking some sort of an alcoholic beverage. I sometimes run at night and that helps me stay away from the stuff BUT I'm…

I've been thinking to myself that I could have a couple of glasses of wine tonight since I haven't had a drink since Sunday. Man...this month is going to be tough :( Does sparkling water have calories? At night I have been having my crystal light without the vodka -- it serves the purpose. But sparkling water sounds like a…

Way to go! You look great!

Hi my name is Jessica. Today marks the start of day #3 for me. I am not certain that I will be able to make it an entire month (or even and entire 7 days) BUT I am hopeful that with the help and encouragement from all of you....one day I may be able to! I love my nightly vodka/crystal light cocktail (actually 3) or a few…

If he has a problem with you doing things you want to do and/or enjoy --- he obviously is not the one for you..period.

In the morning I dump 1/2 cup plain oats, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1 cup milk, splash of pure vanilla extract, and a Splenda into a container and go. By the time I get to work in hungry and I eat it. I do not heat it up and it's delish.

The last two weeks I've been working on cutting back. It's difficult! It's not that I need to drink, I have no withdrawals after a few days off, BUT I didn't realize all of the things I associate booze with! It's practically everything. I'm coming over to Sober September, but I have a feeling it's going to be a month of…

Does anyone here live with someone that drinks regularily! I think it would be much easier to get away from the stuff when it's never in the house, or being enjoyed by someone else in front of me :/ plus everything we do seems to involve alcohol.

Count me in...I can't wait!

I've been coming here often, reading your posts. They are inspiring :) Are you planning on doing a No Alcohol September? I would love to join!

I have the same issue. It is very demotivating, I would agree! But I have noticed if I don't workout for a week I will lose 3 or so pounds. Once I start back up, the 3 pounds comes right back. It's frustrating!

When I was lifting heavy 3x a week I had the same experience. Someone mentioned that I was taxing the hell out of my central nervous system, which can leave you feeling really run down. You are doing a double-whammy to yourself with the added sprint days. You might want to rearrange your workout routine so that it is…
