First weight check in here! I'm a 3rd time mom, trying to keep up my running and enjoying making it to second trimester! Starting Weight: 116 Height: 5'2'' Goal: 22-25lbs (normal BMI) Cumulative gain: 10 weeks: +0 12 weeks: +0 14 weeks: +1.3

@joviwan that sounds so simular to my milage! Totally sporadic first trimester, aiming for about 50 miles this month. I hope you (and i!) continue to feel better! @EmmaDetermined this is my 3rd pregnancy and only the first one I've been able to run at all. And I'm only 14 weeks, so each week I can keep going, I'm thankful!…

I'm a runner and have done many half and full marathons, but never while pregnant (this is my 3rd baby). I just decided to go for a half marathon (13.1 miles/ 21km) in 8 weeks! I'll be 20 weeks pregnant. I'm so excited! I've been running 3-4x a weeks this month, 2-4 miles at a time. I'm starting to feel better though, so…

Do what you enjoy! I like running, so I run. Find something that gets you excited! Maybe it's a new class at the gym. Maybe rock climbing. Maybe Barre! Just find something and try to be as consistant as you can! Start slow and build. I love to run, and prepregnancy was running 6x a week, about 6 miles a day. But I started…

Baby #3 here! Just trying to survive morning sickness at the moment :) Last pregnancy was awesome, very healthy, only gained 23lbs (from 114 to 136). Hoping to have a simular experience this time! Congrats to all!

M: 25 min arms+ abs, 5 mile run T: 25 min legs, chest, back, 6-7 mile run W: 20 min abs, 5 mile run Th: 25 min arms +abs, 3-4 mile run F: 20 min legs, chest, back, 5 mile run S: 8-10 mile run Su: rest

time to check in! baby girl is 7 months old today :) this month was not a good month. I slacked on logging, ate more processed foods than usual. exersize was the same. and baby girl started eating some solids. so this month's check in isn't great... but here is to planning for a better weigh in next month!!…

Love BumGenius 4.0!! I've tried two other brands (FuzziBuns and Happy Heinys) and the BG are for sure my fave. We use washcloths with warm water as "wipes" -- anything else irritates my girls skin. My 2.5 year old has been out of diapers since before she was two, now just little sister (age 7m) is in them -- love!!

@michelleepott: way to go! keep it up!! here is my monthly check in :) pre-pregnancy/goal weight: 114 lbs, 5'2'' normal BMI total weight gained: +22 lbs initial loss: 10 lbs, baby = 7 lbs 6 oz weight left to lose: 1 week: + 11 lbs 1 month: + 8.5 lbs 2 months: + 7.5 lbs 3 months: + 5.5 lbs 4 months: + 3.5 lbs 5 months: +…

I have been enjoying the workouts posted on the PurelyTwins YouTube channel. They are simple, but incorporate moves I am not familiar with, so to me they are interesting :)

I ran a half marathon this morning! It was my third half marathon, but first one since baby #2 was born five months ago, and first one while still nursing a baby! My time was 1:44:48 or 8 min/mile. Babies did great with my husband; I nursed about 15 minutes before the race began, left a bottle of expressed milk just in…

Merry Christmas! Baby girl is 5 months old now, time for a check in :) I just realized that my weight is coming off at just about the same rate as it went on :) I gained 22 lbs over the 40 weeks, which is about 1/2 lb/week. Granted it really wasn't until weeks 13-40 that I gained, but still, it is coming off at just about…

@kcasey: way to go!!! so happy for you :)

@RBXChas: way to get back out there! Sorry that first run was discouraging... I bet a lot of us can sympathize! I don't know if this will be at all an encouragement, but in regards to the jogging stroller thing, I thought I would share my experience. I run 6 days a week, and 5 of those days are pushing the double jogger.…

eek!!! i signed up for a MARATHON today!!! my first one! it isn't until June 2014 (Rock and Roll San Diego) so I have quite a bit of time to work up to it... but I am so excited! Baby #2 will be 10 months old when the race rolls around. I specifically picked one in my hometown so that my Mom can help watch the two girls,…

just wanted to update. with a 4 month old, and a 2.5 year old, our morning runs with the double BOB stroller are getting easier and easier! baby girl is not nearly as fussy any more (we still have hard days, but they would be hard at home too, so its okay) and we all really look forward to the time outside, seeing the…

I ran a 5K this morning! it was my second one post-partum; baby girl is 4 months old :) I ran 23:55 for the 3.1 miles, which is about 7:30 min/mile. the race started at 8am, so I woke up, pumped (because I wasn't sure when baby girl would wake up so I thought it would be easier to just have a bottle ready to go, so I could…

baby girl is 4 months old today :) things are going really great. still exclusively breastfeeding, up to running 25-30 miles a week and aiming for 15 minutes of strength work each day. eating about 2000 cals/day. *almost* back into skinny jeans... they button but aren't flattering yet :) so just plugging along with my…

I wasn't going to buy anything, but I did just buy one new running tank top. I figure I need it in order to get back to fitting in all my other clothes :) I still wear my other work out stuff that I don't love (mostly old race shirts that feel a little baggy, but better than my tanks that are too snug) but at least on my…

just an update... just finished a 10 mile run! it was tough, but I feel really excited to have completed the distance, and I am happy with my pace of 9:06 min/mile, the girls stayed home with Dad for this one. I can do the 4-6 mile runs with the double BOB, but Saturdays are "mommy alone time long run day" :)

@kcasey : amazing! And inspiring! Wow, what a testimony to healthy pregnancy! So happy for you!!!

@kcasey I just got chills!!!! Amazing!!!! You are such an inspiration! Can't wait to see where you go from here! Any welcome to the post partum pack, you made it!!! Congrats on your little one! Did you post your birth story anywhere? Or your whole story any where? Girl you have a message to share!! Such a model of healthy…

On the sports bra question: I'm having decent results with the most supportive version of the champion bra, which I got from a sports store a while ago I think. I have other champion bras from target and costco I think, and they are okay, but I definitely prefer the "stronger" one :) Today was my first day running with the…

Wow! That's amazing!! So cool to be back to pre-pregnancy weight so fast :) Are you at goal weight now or do you still have more you would like to lose?

I did a 10k today! Brought my pump with me and pumped in my car right before the race, under my nursing cover! Lol! Racing was really fun. I'm not a super fast runner, but I ran 8:30 pace for the 6 miles and that was a PR for me. I think I'm coming back stronger after baby than before! Or I've been more consistent with my…

Kcasey155: you have done sooooo well this pregnancy! I think you are so inspiring! Can't wait for you to join us over at the post-partum pack!

I am hoping someone with some experience chimes in, because I would love to know how to do it right also! Right now my daughter is 12 weeks old (I also have a 2.5 year old) and we are running between 13-19 miles a week, mostly pushing the double stroller, but some solo faster stuff too. I only run between 9.5 (solo) and…

@momRN2B: I didn't start until 32 weeks! So you have plenty of time I think! @rubyann: I went three days over... It was perfect! You got this!!

oh the ups and downs of both motivation and the scale. trying to find my groove here. head up! pre-pregnancy/goal weight: 114 (5'2'') full term weight: 136 (+22 lbs) 1 day: 126.5 (baby = 7 lbs 6 oz) 1 week: 125 2 weeks: 123 3 weeks: 122.5 *started longer walking, set cal goal @1800 4 weeks: 122.2 5 weeks: 123.0 *gain, no…

forgot to update! baby girl arrived July 27th. she was born at home. super short, intense labor. I believe hypnobirthing helped greatly, even though it all happened too fast to really do any serious relaxing! my doula said "you have to be relaxed to have a labor go that fast". overall I would still highly recommend…
