Just going to echo that you should try eating more. It likely won't backfire on you. Back before I had kids I was stuck at 145 eating 1300 calories for a month after losing 15 lbs. I increased to 1600 after looking up the proper BMR and AMR and I continued to lose the rest and got down to 130. Then I got pregnant and have…

1) 29 2) 5' 6" 3) 148 4) I'm at home on mat leave right now so on my feet a lot. I work out 25 mins 5 times a week to Jillian Michaels. When I go back to work in a month I'll be at my desk job but I will still try and work out that much. 5) 2000 (But I am breastfeeding - I also wear a fitbit and it always gives me more…

When I "plateaued" I ate 300 more calories per day and then lost 25 more pounds. You need to make sure you're eating enough. Check out my profile for some good information and a proper way to find out how many calories you need.

Great inspiration thanks! My problem is the split abs... getting those back in first and then will work on them but for now just doing overall full body workouts with modified abs. TIME is what it's going to take me!
-
excellent work! Keep it up! you look so great!
-
True - but those 1000 cals are way more filling (I feel anyway) than fries and a flat burger. It's been a while since I've eaten a meatball sub but I remember being just stuffed for hours after.

I cook mine with almond milk. Then in a separate bowl I have two tablespoons of peanut butter and half a banana and mash it up and add a dash of vanilla extract. Then I mix half the cooked oatmeal in and blend it up. Then add the other half of the cooked oatmeal and mix it, top it off with the other half of the banana and…

great work! It's totally true and unless you take the photos and measurements you won't see the difference. I always set the timer and then do side photos, back and front in the same place wearing the same clothes and then when I compare it's way easier to be convinced.

It probably just glitched - sometimes it tells me I have 843598495834 calories left to eat today (no joke)
-
sounds a little hokey to me... I'd say follow it since it's only 21 days, but keep your 1800 calorie goal. You will be hungry with only 1500!

YESSSS!! amazing accomplishment!!

You look so great and full of energy and you look years younger!! congrats!

Urine is only sterile until it leaves your body - common misconception.

well ladies - super bummed out. I'm 38 weeks and have gained 35 pounds, 3 of those in one week and I don't even know how that happens - hoping it's just extra blood/baby/fluid. I know it doesn't matter as long as baby is healthy and it isn't a huge amount but before getting pregnant I had lost 42 pounds (172 down to 130)…
-
Yes even though I've gained more weight than I wanted to (32 pounds so far at 37 weeks) it seems like it's all out front and a bit on my hips and thighs. I have been taking measurements too and most of them are around the same and maybe a tad higher but it's mostly that I've lost the muscle definition. So I am optimistic…

I've got 3 weeks till D-day and I'm starting to get a little anxious! I had my shower on the weekend which was super fun and nice so now I can focus on getting the rest of things I need and start organizing. I too get up every 2 hours or so and then most nights I am plagued with insomnia after getting up one of those…

I hate gyms! When I was losing weight and toning I did it all at home. I started with zumba and then when I got bored of that and wanted some toning I switched to Jillian Michaels ripped in 30. This was the best program for me. I lost the remainder of my weight (42 pounds) with that and my whole body was toned up.…

multigrain cheerios :)

I did ripped in 30 and it was the one thing that got my passed just weight loss to a toned up body! I plan on doing this as soon as I'm clear to exercise after baby is born!
-
ahhhhh I want all!
-
I suck: 33 weeks, 25 pounds. BUT still will come under my heaviest weight when I started here on MFP so whoo hooo!
-
Excellent!!!!
-
I echo what everyone else is saying. you really just gotta get through however you can and make up for it later. I ate sour candy and chips. I didn't gain any weight in the first trimester despite eating all that junk because I didn't eat much of anything else! oh and also, before I got out of bed I ate half a banana and…
-
seems strange if you're measuring on track but maybe a good idea just to see where baby is measuring in an ultrasound. however, the dr could have not been a jerk about it what a thing to say! I have to go in for an ultrasound because I'm measuring too big even though I still look small. It's probably nothing to be worried…
-
I was just given the go-ahead to start drinking this too but she didn't tell me how much. My midwife told me that it tones the uterus, reduces labour time and reduces bleeding afterwards. Whether or not that's true I don't know but they do back a lot of their recommendations up on research. I am 27 weeks now, so will…
-
I'm 27 weeks due July 2 and have gained 22 pounds. I am measuring ahead at 30 weeks and my midwife thinks I have excess fluid which could be why I have gained so much (was 147 10 days ago and now am 152, SW was 130). So I have to get another ultrasound to confirm. she said it's nothing to be worried about but would rather…

my best friend gave birth naturally to three babies, all 10 lbs or at least close to. So being too big is not a good reason to induce. Some drs. are just nervous about delivering larger than average babies. I hope you get good news!
-
Thanks for the info on the massage stuff. Makes sense.
-
I don't thnk this means anything at this point - I mean at my 19 week ultrasound I measured 11 days ahead which also makes no sense and they didn't change my due date either. So either my baby is just bigger, or grew at a different time, or whatever.
