I've got mine set to maintenance as well, which is 2300 + exercise cals (I'm very active). I'm 14 weeks and haven't gained anything so far, so it seems to be working. Next week is when I will increase my calories to start gaining a little. I'm still about 10 pounds overweight, so my doctor wants me to gain about 15 pounds…

Here's a rather large group if y'all are interested: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1903-fit-fabulous-pregnant Congrats to all of you!

For me, it took about 30 pounds to lose the first size, then I've gone down a size about every 15-20 pounds since. The smaller I've gotten, the less weight it takes to move down another size. But like the above poster said, it truly just depends on your body.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that! Hope you recover quickly and continue on your journey. Welcome!

There is a fantastic group for pregnant women: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1903-fit-fabulous-pregnant I have an almost 2 year old and am currently 14 weeks pregnant with our second (and last) baby :). Good luck to all of you!

I am also pregnant, 14 weeks. I've gained 0 pounds so far. Here's a great group to join with lots of good information: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1903-fit-fabulous-pregnant

There are lots of 30DS before and afters on here if you click the search button at the top. I finished it and got great results...lost about 8 pounds. That said...I'll also agree that it's hard on the knees. I never had issues with my knees before doing it and I wasn't very overweight when I did it, but I had issues for…

I don't think it's nearly as bad as everybody makes it out to be. The drink doesn't taste great, but it isn't awful by any means. Kinda like a dull-flavored Sunny D lol. I don't remember feeling funny at all from it, and I would just eat normally today. Stinks they told you not to eat for 8 hours before the test...that…

Looks like everybody's doing great so far! It's fun to keep up with everyone's progress :)

I'm tracking daily to keep my weight gain under control. I have my calories set to 2300, which I think is actually slightly below my maintenance calories. Sometimes I go over, sometimes I'm under, but I just try to make my calorie goal for the week. I'm only 11.5 weeks so I'm still trying not to gain at this point. Once I…

No I haven't. You mean like aloe Vera like you would put on a sunburn?

Before and during. Still have about 20 lbs to go.

I agree. Log every day, good or bad. Seeing the red numbers is the kick in the butt I need to keep it under control. Also, meal prepping and pre-logging. I try to cook a bunch of food and pre-log for the work week on Sunday night. I don't always stick to it exactly, but it does give me a good idea of how much wiggle room I…

I had horrible swelling with my first pregnancy towards the end. My labs also always came back normal, although my blood pressure did creep up about halfway through and stay that way. How is your blood pressure? I found that getting up and going for a short walk would almost immediately make my feet/ankles go back to…

So glad to have some more mommas on this board! Congrats to all of you! Alair, I'm just planning to log everything I eat, every day, and continue to exercise 3+ times per week. So far it's working as I haven't gained anything (I think I'm a little ahead of y'all...I'm 8.5 weeks). I'd prefer to not gain anything at least…

I am muuuuuch more nauseous this time. If I don't eat. If I do eat. If I stand up for too long. If I think about food. I brought lunch to work today, and ended up eating something else because the thought of it made me wanna puke lol. Also more tired than last time, but I think that's just bc I'm having to chase a toddler…

I'm wondering the same thing! I also always gain at least a few pounds around the holidays, then take it back off in January. But obviously that's not an option this time, so I'm trying to control myself. I've been way over my calories pretty much every day, but somehow I'm not gaining, so I've just been lucky so far…

I'm gonna join in here and try to post every week. I need some accountability for my weight gain or I'll go overboard :). Gained 60 lbs with my first. Aiming for only gaining 15-20 with this one. So far, so good. SW: 170 Week 5: 169 (-1) Week 6: 169 (-1) Week 7: 170 (0) Week 8: 170 (0)

Glad to hear y'all are doing well! Claire, you will definitely have your hands full! Hopefully we'll get some more August mommas on board soon :). SW: 170 Week 5: 169 (-1) Week 6: 169 (-1) Week 7: 170 (0)
