First, that I’m at a place mentally that’s healthy enough to tackle my weight with joy again! It’s been a long time. Second, even though I feel like I’m dying, I can do my 1 min plank each day! It took a little bit to get up to a whole minute, so I’m very happy about that! Third, redownloading this app, I’m so thankful…

@TANNE21 I am so, so sorry for your loss! Praying for comfort and healing for you. These dark days will pass. ❤️

According to the scale I lost a little weight again. I’m thinking I must not have eaten as heavy a meal as on normal Thursday evenings. Or maybe I didn’t hydrate as well yesterday (I weigh first thing in the morning) I have been nauseated a lot this past week, but when I feel good I eat quite a bit, so it doesn’t make…

@TANNE21 Great job getting exercise! I have tried several times this week, but only managed to get a small walk in. I’m really looking forward to getting some energy back at the end of this trimester!

Yay! I dropped a pound! I’m not trying to lose, but I was really hoping that the weight I gained while family was in town would be temporary. 😊 I feel more empowered to keep eating well and more hope that I will make it to the end with only healthy gain. It’s always a shock to step on the scale at the doctor’s office fully…

Okay. That was the last week of excuses. We had family over and I ate terribly. My stomach didn’t like it and I felt dreadful, so since that time I’ve been back on track with eating well (which is probably why I’m not showing more of a gain, truth be told!). Just a few more days until my first appointment, finally! 30…

I’m showing a .4lb gain, but I don’t know if I’ve actually gained or not, because last week I weighed myself after eating and with clothes on, so I rounded down (I know, not very scientific, but I wanted to weigh on Fridays, and I prefer to weigh fasting and undressed at the same time each week). Either way, it’s a good…

@VoicedJoy22 - Thank you! I am definitely going to check out the link! A little while ago I looked into them, but at that time decided that I wouldn’t use it enough. But the other day some friends were talking about theirs, and now with your suggestion I think I need to revisit that idea, haha.

Well I’m still trying to wrap my head around the positive test and everything it’s going to mean for this year, but I know for sure that I want to be healthy, whatever happens! I haven’t scheduled a dr appointment yet (it’s on the list), so I haven’t gotten to lay out a goal weight, but I’m still overweight, so I’m hoping…

@LKL84 - Congratulations!!! It’s always been my insane dream to have twins, haha. So happy for you!

I don’t think so. But my hips have always been wide.

goatelope - I feel you! I gained back 10lbs, and even though I’m still waaaay lighter than I used to be, it feels awful. We can do this!

I need to have that moment! I’m in a similar boat, working on losing everything I gained back, except I’m right at the beginning. I’ve fallen into a terrible comfort-eating pattern. I remember when I got pregnant a few years ago eating 2000 calories a day seemed impossible, and now it feels like torture to eat fewer. 😣…

I did okay over the holidays, until the very end when I suddenly gained 5lbs! Getting home and back on track has taken 4.6 off without trying, but the sugar cravings have been rough. After about 3 days I was feeling great and not caring at all that I can’t eat candy at the moment. Then the cravings swung back around and…

When I was “running” it was a little more like a chubby girl HIIT, because I was lightly jogging with bursts of everything I had in between (which, to be honest, wasn’t much at that time). It was a good way to burn calories and help me maintain a calorie deficit. Body weight floor exercises are over with faster for me…

Yesterday as I buttoned my “tight” jeans I told my reflection, “there’s no greater feeling than putting on your tight jeans for the third day in a row and feeling like you’ve lost enough weight to make them baggy!” And then I stared at myself in shock, because I remembered that I had just gotten my jeans out of the drawer;…

My NSV this week was fitting perfectly into a shirt that I squeezed into when I bought it 5 years ago, and realizing that this means I can now wear everything in my closet (except maybe a dress that would be way too baggy)! It’s taken me a long time, but I’m finally back to my “normal” weight. This time, however, I feel…

Cute hat! You look super happy and healthy!

This is exactly the question I was looking for! But not the easy answer I wanted, haha.

I'm due this month, and will be in a wedding in May. I started this pregnancy worried about losing all the progress I had been making, but I feel like I'm in a much healthier mindset now of just wanting to be healthy. I told my husband that I don't care if I look like a whale at the wedding, I just want to feel good. On…

It's gonna be alright! I totally understand. I'm at the end of my third pregnancy, and even after two healthy babies I've spent so much time convinced that something was going to go wrong! Be really open and ask your care provider any question you have. They're used to it. :) And try to remember that even when something is…

You are all so beautiful and inspiring!!!

I still can't decide if it's welcome or unwelcome, but I'm starting to get tired of people telling me I'm barely showing. It's true that most of my outfits have been pretty loose-fitting, but even when I hold my shirt against me to show how massive my bump actually is, most of the time no one believes that I'm actually 32…
