Totally planned. Took 6 months, Temping, OPKs, Clomid, HSG crap, and finally when I went off all meds and stopped temping daily (only around expected O) did we get our BFP!

Name: Summer Hubby/Partner: Kevin How many kids do you have: This will be our first :) Due Date: July 22, 2012 Do you know the gender: Boy!! Have you picked out the baby's name:Jackson Ellwood Where do you live: Lancaster, CA Workouts you are doing while pregnant: Not much, have lots of pelvic pain that increases with…

SW: 195.8 CW: 192.6 Total: 3.2 so far..this was as of last Thursday, I'm changing my wiegh in dates to mid week, cause those numbers are much happier!!

SW: 195.8 CW: 194.0 Loss: 1.8 Pretty happy with this, considering I haven't worked out these past two weeks. Starting the couch to 5k program tomorrow, I got some Vibram FiveFingers, and am hopeful those will help with the lower leg/foot issues I've had with running all of my life. I've gone the super supportive route, and…

Hi all!! So I weighed myself Wednesday and was down a LOT. Too bad it isn't my official weigh in day. Hopefully Sunday treats me the same. I've found that weighing mid week helps me out too though, so I can gauge my progress so far in the week, and it motivates me to get me over the hump. Been having trouble with workouts…

One of the tips I have most success with is to think about lowering the back knee striaght to the ground, don't think about bending the front knee. Make sure your stance is wide enough, and if you have to, hold on to something. And I actually diagree with m4rty on the weight balance. If your weight is on your toes, you are…

SW: 195.8 CW: 195.2 I was at 194.6 in the middle of the week, but then a family dinner out to Buca di Beppo happened, and a splurge meal at Sonic yesterday...still, a loss. Haven't had one of those in awhile, so I'll take it. On to more workouts next week!!

Not bad. Think of protien as a goal to hit, not something to stay under. Same with fiber. :)

IMHO, the way to gain control is to do it all day, everyday. Going "crazy" 6 days a week, and then depriving your body one day is not gaining control, nor is it healthy. Fasting one day once a month is ok, if you feel you have to, but once a week is too much! Just don't give your body things it needs to be cleaned of at…

Have you tried wearing a sports bra? A lot of times upper back pain in women is due to not having enough support for the twins... Depending on which motion aggravates you (flexion or extension), a foam roller should help. Also keeping your upper body moving, not guarding. If your gym has an arm bike, I would recommend…

This! I have found that imagining what I'm eating, and actually logging it makes a HUGE difference. Sometimes things are much less than I anticipated, and sometimes when I have a cheat day, I just need to see exactly what I did to myself. My motto, which I am in process of getting back to, it to be honest. Log EVERYTHING.…

The hubby and I are looking to start in the next 6 months, that is a large part of the reason I'm here, to get my body in the best shape I can!! Good luck! Though I am not currently TTC, I'm happy to support you in whatever way I can!

Ok, so I weighed this morning and I am down 1.2 from where I was on Sunday. That makes me feel a WHOLE lot more motivated. First loss I've seen in awhile, I think it is what I needed to get back on track!!

Ok, so I feel like I need a sponsor, like AA. I was doing SO WELL before the holidays. Then the Hubby and I said "F it" through the holidays, because it was just too hard...and now I can NOT get back on track. I drove through TWICE today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!! I make myself sick!! So, yeah, I need someone I…

Now, I don't know the inner workings of your family, but I know one member totally approves!! And me, too!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

Think of Protien, Fiber, and the vitamins, etc at goals to REACH, not things to stay under. You need to stay under the fat, calories, carbs, sodium, etc. But don't worry about going over for the other stuff. I wish we could change it so you were in red if you didn't weat enough of those things, and green when you reach…

Pickles, a good thing to try is portioning your meal before it goes on your plate. I know with me, if I put more than a serving on my plate, I'm going to eat it. If I portion it out before, I'm not hungry enough to go back for more. Portion control is also important because those times when you DO go on a bender, or on…

Yay! Here is to a better, more successful challenge! The Hubby and I don't celebrate V-day, mostly because of the cost involved with everything surrounding it. The one thing I'm going to cut out of my life is eating the sweets at work. That is seriously my downfall, and I was doing so well until the…

What if we do a Heart Healthy challenge every week, in honor of Valentines Day? Eat all whole grain carbs this week. No white break/pasta/rice, etc... Eat Fish at least twice this week (or some other LF protein, if adverse to fish), and start taking Omega 3's Look at last week's Saturated Fats, and cut it in half this…

I LOVE it Pinky!! Though you know what creature my thoughts immediately went to? http://www.disneystore.com/create-your-own-vinylmation-figure-9/mp/1261008/1000284/?CMP=KNC-DSSGoogle Pick a color, everyone pitches in a few bucks, and he travels the country with a sharipe, everyone signs him, and puts their CW and date or…

MK is always an option. Your mom will be your first customer, lol. If I had time to devote to it, I could be making a bundle. You know how to reach me if you want to try it.

Anything where you are moving weight qualifies as weight training. Push ups, lunges, free weights, band exercises, medicine balls, machines, etc etc. I would probably say power yoga could be weight training. If your muscles are sore, and you work them to fatigue (not cardiovascular fatigue) you are on the right track.

My only issue with that is you're then doing 5 days on, 2 days off. Could you possibly do MTW Spin, Th off, Fri circut train, Sat Circut Train, Sun off? That way your on for 3, off one, on for two, off one. And I agree you need to add strength training in there. Start by adding one day in, do that for a few weeks, then add…

This article says "Single mother of two" but there is a linked article on the site is from March, where he is talked about as her partner, and how he encourages her to eat more. Gross. DONNA Simpson already weighs 273kg, but she is determined to nearly double her size to become the world's fattest woman. The 42-year-old…

Don't have it in the house. If it isn't there, you won't eat it.

I agree. Bacon, in moderation of course, is not as bad as we think it is. After this discovery, BLT's with a fried egg on top (from cook this not that cookbook) is one of our favorite dinners. Healthy, but doesn't taste like diet food at all!

+1, exactly what she said. MFP calculated your daily calories based on your daily calorie burn with all activity NOT including exercise.So, unfortunately, everything else is already accounted for. IF you ate those 700, you would be using those calories twice. Make sense?

Pinky, let me know. I'm thinkin about her. At least you're close by now so she has a place to go with the pets.

Weighed myself this morning just to see, was WAY up, but then TOM showed up today, so I don't feel so bad. I'm just trying to get through till January. Ugh.

So I weighed last Friday, knowing this weekend was going to be a hellish splurge. I was at 191.4. Im almost back to where I was at my lowest before Thanksgiving. I've resigned myself to trying to stay even through the holidays, and then really work when the new year comes. Just keep on keeping on for now. Blah. I'm getting…
