Hello all! Just getting to the point where we think this pregnancy will actually stick. With my first, I started at 173, ended at 213, and then got back to my SW within 6 months post-partum. But then I got pregnant in August, gained weight, lost the baby, but didn't lose the weight. I'm hoping to gain less this time and…

@concordancia - My local gym does have a pool. I'm not big on swimming but I was thinking about giving it a try.... The seated shadow boxing is a great idea - I would never have thought of that! @lorrpb - My doctor told me that I could walk and would likely not injure it further but that I would be in additional pain if I…

When I was breastfeeding, the main thing that I found that helped me was doing the calculation for my new TDEE taking breastfeeding into account. Then I modified my intake to keep to that limit. For me, I mostly found that not cutting carbs and staying well hydrated were the keys to keeping my supply up. There are a few…

I was a low carb vegetarian for awhile - it's definitely not an easy diet to follow. Do you eat dairy products, eggs, or fish? When I was doing this diet, dairy and eggs became my primary source of protein for the most part, but I can guarantee you that you will have to work really hard to meet your protein needs. That…

I am so glad that I found this. I am 7 weeks, had gained ~8 lbs as of last Friday, and have been pretty stressed about it. Morning sickness has been miserable for the past two weeks so I've pretty much given myself a pass to eat anything I want as long as I can keep it down... It's really a relief to see such a variety of…

When I've been successful at losing weight/dieting/etc., it's always been: 1. Adding in higher fiber foods (i.e. if I ate lunch and am still hungry or want a snack, I'll try an apple or carrot sticks, etc.) 2. Making sure that you are actually hungry and that it's not boredom or habit. 3. If I'm tired then first thing is…

I have been trying to be really diligent about my food diary and also honest with myself about how much I'm actually eating. Which, on days like this weekend, is really difficult. It's a lot easier to "forget" to record that ice cream that we had after dinner... I think that the hard part is dealing with feeling guilty the…

Thanks all for the responses. I hope that it gets easier the longer I do this. I've lost a significant amount of weight in the past and then gone up and down since, but in the past I've dealt with weight with a lot of unhealthy methods and I'm still struggling with many of those unhealthy mindsets. you chose to eat larger…

Hi there, I'm not vegan but cook mostly vegetarian and vegan meals (because they tend to be healthier overall and they help me keep a better eye on what I put into my mouth/body). But that being said, I transitioned from being an omnivore to a vegetarian several years ago while living in a small-ish town in the US midwest…

So - this is my first time replying to any of these posts but... 1.What was the turning point for you? It's ok if it was a series of events First time: Fall 2011 - I was at my heaviest and kept getting sick. Things that used to be minor illnesses (colds/the flu) would land me in the hospital for a day or more. I was only…
