Hi everyone! I just found out last week that I'm pregnant. I'm 5 weeks along. So, this is my 2nd pregnancy. My daughter is 13. I'm scared to death. With my daughter, I had uncontrolled weight gain. I gained a staggering 130 lbs. I doubled my weight. Half of the weight I gained was water. I had +4 pitting edema. By the time…

Thank you!! :)

That's not always true. I heard an ad on the radio for $4,800 tummy tucks. That's pretty cheap. I went into the office thinking that the surgeon would be a complete quack. I was so wrong. I was beyond impressed with him. He ended up doing an amazing job. Much better than many of my friends who paid double. Price should not…

Here are my before and after pics. I'm 3 years post op. Please bear with me. I'm not quite sure how to add my pic via photobucket.

This picture's intent actually worked on me. No joke. I saw it, thought about it, and in the end, I realized that nursing school and being a mom was NOT an excuse to be lazy. So I "unfroze" my gym membership and worked out for the first time in 6 months yesterday. So no, she doesn't need to apologize.

Keep it up! The story about your grandpa brought tears to my eyes. I'm a student nurse and I've spent a lot of times with people who have suffered a stroke. I think thats one of the worst things that can happen to you. I think it's amazing he was able to hug you and speak to you one last time. I know it must have taken…

The kid is probably just hungry. Kids snack! My lil girl would sometimes overeat. Like eat a crazy amount of food in one sitting (this isn't the norm) and the next thing you know, she's an inch taller. She was just going thru a growth spurt. She's also very thin. So her weight has never been an issue. I doesn't sound like…

Blendtec! It's not cheap but it's well worth the $$

Ditto to this. My ecig has changed my life! I tried quitting back in December and I packed on 15 lbs. I started smoking again a few months later. 2 months ago I tried ecigs and I've never looked back. My favorite is Honeydew Cotton Candy. So good!

I'm going to be honest, when I clicked on this thread, I wasn't expecting to see anything too impressive. Boy, was I wrong. You look amazing! Wow, great job! You've inspired me :)

I'm not trying to be rude but you're so wrong, girl. A mini is a waste of money. A full s the only way to go. Also, a mini's scar is just as long.

Start saving, get credit, whatever you gotta do. I got one two years ago and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself.

IF doesn't boost your metabolism but it doesn't lower it ether. I'm a big fan of IF. google Eat Stop Eat, Fast 5, Roman Fitness System.

Front squat - 75lbs I can't believe how far I've come in a month. A month ago I could do an air squat without shaking. I had to modify an air squat! Today? I did air squats unassisted and added a bunch of weight.

I'm taking Chantix. It really works. The side effects can suck. Depression, anxiety, short fuse. But other than that, it's great! I'm 10 lbs up, however. :-/ Are you going cold turkey?

Yikes. Never, ever had a problem at my gym (or any gym I've been to)

$100 2x a week $125 3x a week $150 unlimited I only do 2x a week.

Nah, not true. I lost a lot of weight on it and it has yet to come back! After I had my kid 9 years ago, I lost 130 pounds. My weight has fluctuated since but I wouldn't consider that gaining the weight back. I have taken Phentermine several times and it helps lose me lose quickly. The weight doesn't come back unless I eat…

I eat them plain.

Im doing Fast 5 right now. It's a form of intermittent fasting where you fast 19 hours a day, feed for 5. I tried doing paleo but I'm not ready for that. I quit smoking a month ago, started crossfit a couple weeks ago. I'm just doing one by change at a time. Fasting comes naturally to me.

I've had my polar for 4 years? Maybe more? Never had an issue with it.

$200 usually. $250 last month. $0 this month. We're not going thru the state, doing it privately.

Hello! Add me if you'd like. Trying to lose 20, here!

I hate mine. Laser removal someday. Yours is cute, though!

Woooooo hoooooo! That's awesome :)))

You can't spot reduce...unless you get a tummy tuck or lipo. Sorry!

I have them, I say, if you want 'em, get 'em done! Make sure you put a lot of thought into how many cc's you want. I went into it blind. I just told my dr. to give me a "full D". WELLLLLLL, a full D to him is actually a 34DDD. While I like them better than my old (barely an A cup boobs) they look really big on me. I'm not…

Use Gelzone for scar therapy. I hear it helps but I haven't used it. The pain will go away eventually. This is a major surgery so it takes a while to heal.
