@Psychgrrl Thank you for sharing your story. I love seeing what others have overcome. Helps me to realize I can do it to. Just have to push a little harder every day.

@karen8787 I ended up getting my tubes tied. When I ended up pregnant with an IUD decided to do something a little more reliable than birth control.

Only been a couple days, but want to try to get in havit of posting on Mondays. 44.5 miles this year.

@JZygmunt72 I love how you broke it all down. Looks like it will make it much easier in the long run. Try not to let pack of motivation get you down. I have been the same way lately.

Thanks to all who posted I truly appreciate the feedback. I do not have the Mirena IUD anymore. It dislocated and went through my uterus info abomination cavity. This was discovered after finding out I was pregnant. After having my daughter via emergency cesarean I had my tubes tied so no longer using any BC. I have…

I am in I have 39 miles in so far. Good thing about living in town. You can walk almost anywhere if you choose to.

I am in, and that's my birthday. Start weight - 293.6 Goal weight - 180 Goal for this challenge - 263.6

I try to weigh and log every morning before as soon as I get up from bed. I do it often enough that some times if I forget my 5 year old will remind me while he is getting ready for school. I do not worry too much about the day to day number but figure this way I can get an average every week of what my weight is.

9/1 - 290 9/8 - 283 9/13 - 270 9/21 - 265

I am just shy of 18 weeks and I am down 9lbs. I am still eating healthy choices and trying to gain the healthy amount of weight they said i should but between morning sickness that is just ending and feeling like eating enough healthy choises of food to hit enough calories to gain is WAY to much I am losing more at each…

@Nikeolie I could see the water weight thing since most fast food has more sodium. Wishing you best of luck with everything. I am due just 2 days after you but with my 4th.

@sybillabryson I am also due in July. I am having no luck gaining weight and so far through my pregnancy have only succeeded in losing no matter what I try. I am finally over the morning sickness I think which I am hoping helps. Before getting pregnant I was trying to lose weight for a couple years. Was nit planning this…

Request sent

When I initially started on MFP I lost almost 30 pounds, then I stopped when I was pregnant because I moved and had no internet for a few months and I have not seen a loss since prepregnancy. I weigh my self once a week and either stay the same or go up about a pound. I am not tracking any other progress because I have…

I was keeping a food journal for a while and writing down everything for a while when I went with out internet have been back on MFP for a while. I track everything I eat (I have even…

It may have been water I am not sure. I did not know that the hormone change from birth control could cause that.

DIM?

The doc did specifically say weight gain was a side effect for many women.

I have never heard of that one. I will have to check into that one.
