Hi Ladies, I am 29 weeks and was also recently diagnosed. I am quite suprised (and frustrated) as I have NO family history of diabetes, typically eat very healthily, and have only gained 15 pounds so far! So, I am not sure what my body is thinking.... :-) I am trying to come up with ideas for breakfast (I HATE eggs) and…

But on the plus side, the bigger my belly gets, the smaller my thighs look!

Hi Everyone! Just thought I would check-in and see how everyone is doing! I am entering my 8th week of pregnancy, and so far I am feeling pretty good. I am a little nauseas in the morning, but mostly because I am STARVING, and once I eat I feel better. I have been trying to eat every 2-3 hours, because otherwise I get…

Thank you. I know that I shouldn't be dieting, that is why I want to make sure I am eating correctly. I just don't know what that means!

Thats a good idea.... I am so used to eating "diet" everything, haha. I guess I can actually eat full fat cheese now!

Hi Everyone! I am turning 30 next month (gulp), have been married for about a year and a half (with my husband for three years prior to that), and just recently found out that I am CURRENTLY PREGNANT! (5 1/2 weeks) (our first!). I had joined MFP in the fall in order to start getting into shape before conceiving, and while…

Just wanted to say Hello to everyone! We have all (well, most of us) been slacking a bit with the morning work-outs, who is still with me?!

So excited! Let me know what you end up calling it so I can join... I don't have any creative suggestions as to a name, how abut something straight forward, like "Fit for pregnancy"?

Me too! I have been using MFP for the last few months, haven't lost a lot of weight, but I feel healthier and more fit. I am now 6 weeks pregnant (scary, because it is so early). I am hoping to stay on the lower end of healthy weight gain, and would LOVE some support!!!! Should we start a group?

Me too! It was only 30 minutes on the elliptical, but it still counts!

#3 is the BEST! Love it, and it looks fantastic! Have Fun!

Thank you so much for all of the great responses! I have struggled with accepting my weight (and not obsessing about it) my entire life, and it was SO helpful to hear from other real people. Best of luck to all of you with your goals!

What is your secret! Your profile says that you lost 20 pounds in three months, is that right?! Please share! and Congrats!

Thank You! Anymore 5'6 ladies out there?

My sister swore that ginger candy was the best! Although I have no idea where you buy it! Good Luck and Congrats!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday! I was also up and at it early this morning, finished 60 minutes of exercise, but I am only counting it as 30 minutes because I was moving a little slowly today!

Great work! I have NOT been a good girl this week :frown: I did my 5 am work out on Monday, but then slept in yesterday AND today. Boo me! I can come up with a thousand reasons/excuses, but I NEED to put my health and body first.... I WILL work out tonight, and I WILL be up tomorrow!

:frown: I was bad and did NOT get up this morning. I blame it on the TOM and feeling poopy, but I know I shouldnt make excuses! I will do something when I get home tonight!

I made it to class yet again, despite feeling exhausted and cranky :devil: AND I was a good girl and did 30 minutes on the elliptical last night, as promised! Now, I have to make sure I get up and work-out tomorrow morning, since I don't have class.... hopefully I will see you bright and early! Keep up the great work!

Good morning! I don't know if I should be sad, or proud, that 6:00am feels like "sleeping in" these days :smile: I got to "sleep in" and still took the dog for a mile walk. Will do another mile with the dog, and 30 on the elliptical this evening! Have a great day everyone, make good choices! :flowerforyou:

Hello Everyone! I was up and out at bootcamp :-) No class tomorrow though, so I had better be logging on and checking in bright and early! Keep up the great work! P.S., this is my last week of Bootcamp classes (Weds and Frid) and then I will be left to my own devices, so feel free to give me a hard time if I am not logging…

Good morning! Went to my bootcamp this morning at 5:30, great workout to end the week! Now, I just need to make sure that I don't fall off the diet and exercise wagon this weekend. :wink: Good Luck everyone! Happy Friday! :bigsmile:

Hi Katie, The journey can be super tough! My weight keeps going up and down the same 1-2 lbs, but I feel better, healthier, and stronger, just by eating right and exercising. Hang in there, log in every day, find some supportive friends on MFP (feel free to friend me) and remember that lasting change doesn't happen…

Hey Kacee, I am always open to suggestions! How do you motivate yourself not to hit snooze?!

Hello! Great work. Although we seem to be missing a few people :-P I was also up and out of the house by 5:15. One hour of bootcamp, and my body is killing me! I don't have bootcamp tomorrow though, so I will (hopefully) be logging in bright and early to work out with you guys!

Sorry ladies, I fell victim to the snooze button this morning. My work out yesterday left me super sore and exhausted! (I know, excuses excuses). But I WILL be up and ready to go tomorrow by 5:00am. I am doing a bootcamp class which is one hour or cardio and weights. GREAT work-out

I hope to see everyone tomorrow morning! Keep up the good work!

Negative. Stay away from coffee though, it definately makes it worse!

Hello! I actually joined a Fitness Bootcamp class near my house that is from 5:30-6:30 am, so i was up at out nice and early. The camp is only for the next two weeks, so I will hopefully stay on-track for those two weeks, but then will need some am support! Good work everyone, keep it up!

Good Work everyone! Someone yell at me if I dog log in tomorrow! Weekends are POISON for me!
