Hi, my name is Jennifer and wanting to get back on track. I've been on mfp prior to getting pregnant. Mfp helped me to get ready for a healthy pregnancy. I have put updates in my profile as it was a long journey to get pregnant and now having my son who is 6.5 months old now. I would love some support , to share this…

I am currently at 19 weeks along and have gained about 11-12 lbs so far. I am feeling great, happy and excited for this little one!!

Hi Ladies, I just joined this group today and I am hoping to find pregnant girlfriends to share our journey with. I will be 18 weeks as of tomorrow, and this is my first pregnancy!! We are so happy and excited!! I am due August 28, 2013! We have gone down a very long road to achieve this pregnancy and can't believe where…

Hi Alli, I found your August group and the other one to. I'm due August 28! We are excited!! We are slowly telling a few select people in the real world but are waiting till Feb 14 to officially announce to most of our friends (FB). The announcement to our families might come in March though if I can hold off on my size a…

I am due August 28, and this is my first!! We are so excited.

Ok, whenever I eat half of something, and save the other half I sprinkle a little bit of lemon juice over it. The lemon juice prevents the fruit item to go bad before it gets way to bad. Or wrap it well with plastic wrap or baggie, squeeze out the air!

I actually break out in hives, from eating bananas, mild allergy. The last time, I actually ate bananas has been over 25 years! I have to be careful, if someone else makes banana bread, snacks with bananas, etc...

I don't care for my calves either. I'm not sure of the actual size of them, but when I went boot shopping a few years back. I found out that boots are not made for big calves. The lady told me I had to get boots that are considered wide shaft boots, meaning the circumfrence of the boot at the top is bigger to accomodate my…

The mall near me opened this store, and now I'm totally into tea!! Teavana has a really nice collection of loose leaf teas (sold by the ounce), and some really great accessories. www.teavana.com/ Check for a location near you or order online!! I love going in and getting to smell them!! I hinted to my hubby he can get me a…

I like to look at the weekly grocery sale ads that come out to base my meals with the meats, fruits and veggies!!

I have several Leslie Sansone dvds. I really love them. However, after doing them for a period of time I find the steps very basic and getting a little bored with the same basic steps in each of her videos. i've heard her 2 newest dvds are some what different that would help to change it up a bit. Good luck!!

I prefer going alone. I can concentrate on my workout and get more out of it to. I started yoga that way. Now, I'm friends with the yoga instructor and a few of the regulars that come!

This is great, I just need to lose just a little bit more, the last few have been really hard for me. Hoping to lose before my next fertility round.

I could spend hours in grocery stores like Sprouts, whole foods, specialy stores. I'm amazed at all the great stuff out there that is so healthy. I love the produce section too. I'm trying to get my hubby to try different things, kinda of a picky eater. I switched a lot of my foods to organic, or all natural for trying to…

bumping for later!!! Thanks!!!

Organic sprouted walnuts, and organic almonds make great snacking!

Also the time of the month, can make a difference to. I once had a physical therapist notice my leg bruising weeks after having major knee surgery She mentioned that the time of the month (before or after), low iron, anemia, and low protein levels all can contribute to this to. A good multi vitamin and extra protein did…

I've been at a plateau for about 6-8 weeks now. So far I've lost 15 lbs, and and want to lose another 10 by June 1st. Each week I see the same 2 lbs (157-159). I am 40, calories now are upped to 1580 for the last 3 weeks, work out 5 day's a week at 4-5 miles walking/jogging and twice a week yoga. I usually eat back most of…

The only time I really like my smile is when, I can have photos professionally done. Otherwise, I absolutely hate having my picture taken. I will either have a stupid smirk, showing way to much teeth, a crooked smile, my head titled, or my eyes are closed, bad hair day, poor lighting, and don't get me started on how my…

i've changed most of my eating habits, by eliminating processed foods. I've found out to that just because something is fat free, means they have put extra sugars and sodium in it to help with the flavor.

My goal for April is to do 65 miles. My goal for March was 60 and did great by getting 73 miles in. April might be a little tougher getting my miles in, as I will be gone for about a week on vacation. I'm incorporating yoga and meditation as part of my routine as well. April so far: 4/3 3mi, 4/4 3mi, 4/5 4mi, 4/6 5mi total…

My total for the month of March is 73 miles. My goal was to get 60, I kinda surprised myself!! I have to thank Leslie for her dvd's, with out them I wouldn't be where I am today. It's all about the Walk of LIfe!!!!

I've been doing pretty good with my goal of 60 miles for the month of March. So far, I have managed 58.5 miles and still have till the end of the month to do even more!!!! Woot, Woot!!!! I've been thinking about my goals for April already....just not sure yet.

Love Leslie's new dvd, I preordered mine. I now have done each day, and have also created my miles for a couple of days to. WAY TO GO LESLIE!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!!!!! ps. My husband in the mornings ask's me what color am I doing for the day, and I tell him a rainbow of colors!!!!!

I also use some the comments you use also for the exercise comments. What I do like to do for some of my mfp friends who have their food diary open, is to make a personal comment based on the foods/meals. I've found some great ideas from them and appreciate their openness with the food diaries. This way I get to know the…

1. I have separated myself from the majority of my family, because my husband and i don't have kids and have been trying for 4 years now with 4 miscarries during that time. 2. Jealously issues with pregnant women, babies, and toddlers. 3. A few minor food issues, love it to much. One day at a time.........

Age doesn't bother me. I know a lot of people younger or older than me here on mfp, and real life. I do kinda have a thing though, I'm 40 and the last 4 years trying to have a baby. I've gone through a lot in the last 4 years and 5 miscarries. So age does get to me when I see a twentysomething saying something or complain…

My neighbor/ friend works in Jared, she told me that your hands/fingers can vary in size depending on a few factors. During the winter when you might be colder your rings slide easier on your finger due to the cold, verses during the summer hotter. Some people also have one hand just slightly bigger than the other. Try…
