Virginia first of all congratulations and welcome to the group! I'm so sorry to hear about your angel baby... Hopefully this pregnancy will be completely different for you! We are all about staying fit and healthy here so hopefully you can continue to do your workouts and eat healthy meals for you and baby! Welcome! Holly…

Rayna so sorry about your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself and your bambino! Autumn congrats on the baby boy! :) Lexi hope things are moving along as planned and your little one is on his way or already made his debut! Let us know! I'll be thinking about you! When I workout I get a…

Morning ladies! Welcome sandi! Sounds like you are on the right track with the right frame of mind! Jump right in! Go and reconnect with that poor elliptical machine madbabysmama! lol! Today is another cool and overcast day. I'm gonna get in a hike this morning and an hour of strength training. I think my hormones have…

Rosanna you are spot on with your information! 1200 is WAY too low and is the least amount anyone should consume and is weight loss mode. Being pregnant nobody should ever diet (and eating less calories than it takes to sustain your weight is dieting). Women who are obese don't necessarily need to gain the same amount of…

Hi ladies! Welcome to the newcomers! Jump right on in! Happy Birthday kristy and jrueckert! Hope you have a very awesome day! Peanut M&M's have been my only bad craving during my pregnancy! lo! You can go to any walk in clinic (walgreens, cvs, etc) or even Walmart has the Flu shot available. But I bet if you have insurance…

I think you should name your baby anything you want! But just to forewarn you...even if you name her Sophie (which I think is a beautiful name in itself) I would bet that people will still break it down and call her Soph. I tend to go with what Kim says and we did a formal name (Charlotte) and are calling her by her…

Kristy yes it is the Coco Dot nursery set. I fell in love with it when it first came out WAY before we even got pregnant with Charlee! :)

Good morning ladies! Yup today I'm back on track. Knew it would just take me a couple days of rest to re-energize my battery! :) Hi Nikole! Welcome to the board and congrats on the baby! On the Welcome post on page 1 of the board is a FAQ's part concerning caloric intake during pregnancy. As far as exercise levels go there…

Sorry I've been MIA...Still recovering from the hectic weekend. I'll be back in the saddle tomorrow! :) Amy I'm SOOOO happy for you! Yay! Another sweet baby girl to add to the world! Annie Lucille...how beautiful! Holly glad to hear you are doing well. You've been on my mind and hoping all was going well with your sweet…

Hello to all of my wonderful pregnant friends! Welcome to all the newbies! Jump right in! Gonna make this as short as possible and I will come back and make other comments later... The couple shower/party was a HUGE success! I was exhausted before the day even started though because Friday I spent most of the day doing…

Hi ladies! Hope you all are having a fantastic Friday so far! Taldie sorry you aren't feeling well. Make sure to stay hydrated! Kim I had slight nausea for only 2 weeks and it was more caused by not knowing what I was hungry for and waiting too long to eat. As long as I ate I was fine. And small meals/snacks will help!…

YAY!!! Congrats Holly! Can't wait to see a picture of sweet Ellie Olivia! Welcome to the world sweet baby! I'm sorry you had some obstacles during labor...but I know at the end of it all you got the best prize of all, a healthy, beautiful baby girl! (Seems like the season for lots of girls doesn't it? lol) Can't wait to…

Hi ladies! Boy am I exhausted! I went for a 5 mile hike and then did some strength training. Afterwards we went and took her 3 year old to storytime and then had lunch with our hubbies. It was nice to spend a little bit of time with Al since I won't be seeing him again for the rest of the day (he leaves for work at 6am and…

So I posted a pic from yesterday (31wks) and I am obviously larger than I was even last week but I've not gained any weight in 3 weeks...This whole pregnancy thing still amazes me. Your body does some crazy, weird, amazing stuff that's for sure! How does one get bigger but doesn't gain any weight? lol Anyhoo....well I'm…

Holly I'm so excited for you! I'm sorry you had a less than stellar day on Sunday...we are only human. But you picked yourself back up and are well on your way to meeting your little one so soon! I will be praying for you and waiting patiently to hear all about it! Also, it is strange that only now you are feeling warm…

Holly just thinking about you! Sending happy baby vibes your way! Oh Nichole, Hannah Marie is so beautiful! She sounds like a beautiful, sweet little girl already. :) I just got back from getting a mani/pedi...then on Thursday it is hair day! I'm going back dark. I am a natural blonde but I like to spice things up and…

Kim yay!!! I'm so excited and happy for you!!! It is long overdue since we've got the FFFF group starting to all get back together! The advise I have is to do your best at continuing to eat healthy, eat every couple of hours and make sure to eat protein with each meal (as much as you can....in the first trimester we tend…

Morning to all my FIT and FABULOUS mama's to be! Lexi I'm so glad that you got through the front loading of school. I knew you were worried you might go into labor during that time and it would have made things harder. Also so happy for you that you got to spend some time with your husband. Is he going to be able to fly…

Ashley congratulations!! Girls are SOOOO fun to buy and decorate for! I've had an absolute blast and can't wait to meet my little princess! Atomdraco isn't that feeling the coolest?! It only gets better! :) To the rest of the ladies I hope all is well and you are having a wonderful weekend! The past two days have been…

Amy your trip sounds wonderful and relaxing...So wish we could do a relaxing trip before baby comes but my trip to AZ to visit Al several months ago was our "babymoon". So from here on out it is home bound waiting for baby to come! I'm so excited for you too...you are so close now! Keep us updated! 80lblost I had several…

Nothing I can say can make it any easier....but going through two losses I know how hard it is right now. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry you had to experience this. As you know, so many women experience m/c during their first pregnancy and turn around having no more problems and delivering…

My goodness! There is so much activity...and I love it! I love that this board is full of very active, healthy mama-to-be's! It is a beautiful thing! lol! Welcome to all the newcomers! Jump right in and let us know what is your poison of choice (mine is hiking, spinning, Tracy Anderson Method for toning, cardio kickboxing…

Hope you all are doing well. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/332498-fit-fabulous-and-pregnant-september-2011

cutmd you are in my thoughts and prayers! keep us updated!

Morning ladies! I'm feeling better already this morning. Talked with Al last night and he said there is still a 50/50 chance that they will deploy in 2 years as opposed to 1 year. I truly appreciate all of your kind words. It is amazing how different we all are, but in reality how much we really have in common and can…

Thanks ladies! It was hard getting a good pic but this one was the best. I think it looks like she has a bow on her head. She already knows how to do cute! lol! You can even see her umbilical cord under her chin. So weird how clear some of the features are. So last night my husband and I were watching Army Wives on Netflix…

I think I figured it out! Yay!

Hello to all of my fit and fabulous pregnant friends! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Took quite a while to catch up with you ladies! lol! Glad everyone is doing well. As for me I had a whirlwind of a weekend (well since Thurs actually). My 3d u/s was wonderful! And Holly we had to pay for it ourselves and actually…

ladydeee pregnant women should be eating closer to 100g of protein a day. I'm not sure the exact amounts on everything else. If you are looking for a good eating plan to follow during pregnancy I recommend Googling the Brewer Diet. It is a healthy rounded well balanced eating plan that focuses on nutrients rather than the…

You are in my thoughts and prayers!
