  • I'm 27 weeks, and it's been a somewhat tough first pregnancy. I got hit with *really* bad nausea (which was only solved ironically by eating) and exhaustion for about 4 months. I started at 165, and now I'm at 193, yikes! I'm starting to get serious about tracking my food to slow the rate that I'm gaining and to also make…

  • Also @caseyd468 you can manually adjust your calorie intake in the settings to reflect that you're not trying to lose weight. The *average* (again, depends on your BMI and activity level before being pregnant) doctors recommend is 1800 in first trimester, 2200 in the second, and 2400 in the 3rd. There are all kinds of…

  • Yes it's safe to work out, as long as you were doing what you were before becoming pregnant. So don't pick up running if you haven't been a runner before. If you're otherwise healthy you can walk, swim, do low impact aerobics, etc. It's always a good idea to ask your doctor first though if you're not sure. Everyone I've…

  • Yes it's definitely a huge challenge I've struggled with my whole life, you're definitely not alone! I've noticed that when I have a better baseline- getting enough sleep, finding other ways of dealing with stress, having good balance of work/free time, etc- that I have way less binges. But my crutch is definitely sugar,…

  • Wow, so great to get so many responses! I have a few questions for everyone: *I have to start my training on a treadmill, since I live in Vermont and it's super cold and there isn't any shoulder to run on anymore with all the snow. Are there any tips, tricks, etc. that people use to make the treadmill not terrible? I get…
