I'm 20 weeks and have gained 15 lbs and the dr. said i can gain NO MORE! I need all the support I can get. I really haven't splurged and feel like I have eaten no different than when I was not pregnant.

Hi there! I am 20 weeks pregnant and told that I can't gain any more weight! I've put on 15 lbs and need to make sure to keep it that way. I need all the support I can get!

I just experienced this for the first time this weekend. I have been running over a year and have never had anyone say something nasty to me, looks yes...but never vocal. This past weekend I was running and there were these two boys, 8 and 16 on bikes. They had just stopped at what looked like there house, and as I was…

I'm starting the program on Monday...I have to admit...I'm terrified!!! I have never lifted...or been near that side of the gym before....But I'm determined! I want results! I'm glad this group exists...I'm going to be looking at you guys for support :)! Lets do this!!!

You've encouraged me to do the same as you...bring the copies and ask the trainer to show my how to do it. I had been debating because I didn't want to seem silly :) But if you did it...I will too :) I start on Monday...but I'm going to the gym tomorrow morning to ask the trainer where everything is. Thank you for…

You know what...before joining this site I was never small in my life either. But as I've lost, I found a small person inside. People tell me all the time how small and petite I am and I just smile inside because those are not words I associate with my self :) Feel free to add me :)

I think it depends on your body. When I did the Couch to 5k I had water on the longer runs because I felt that my body needed it. Now that I'm more conditioned I don't need water for a 5k run. I needed the water to help me cool down...but again that was just me. If you feel that you need it, take some...it's up to you.

You have to be a crazy in order to do a 1/2 half marathon :) or else you wouldn't do it :) I just completed my first half marathon in early February...and I've signed up for my next one in early May. I will friend you...we can support eachother!!

For me it was fruit! I replaced a lot of my day snacks with fruit and that got the scale moving down :) At least fruit worked in my case :)

Count me in...my birthday is Oct 28. I've always wanted to wear one of those hot costumes! Loving it!!

Special K cereal or Chocolate Cherrios with Almond Milk...under 150. IYUMMY...!

I'm on my second week...I'm loving it!!

Have you tried the Birds Eye Steamed Brown Rice? I love it. I pair it with some frozen veggies and call it a night! Sometimes for an some added flavor I add some Laughing Cow cheese. My husband and I have found that these frozen veggies and brown rice have been a savior to us as we try to eat better. Also, I will make a…

I'm in...173

Yes...yes...yes! It is a great book...try her crunchy drumsticks...amazing cook book!

Reaching your thin makes you feel like you're in control. :happy:

I just bought the Mio Motiva Petite Pink and so far I love it! It works best if you test your HR throughout your workout to get a more accurate count of calorie burn. I mostly got it because it's small and petite, and you can set the exercise intervals which will help me get to my running goals. So far so good!

Thank you all for the tips...I will take your advice and eat more calories. In response to the inches...I'm not seeing much difference there either. I think I am drinking enough water at least 64 oz. But I will try the eating more and see what happens!

I just bought it today and it should be coming in just a couple of days! I kept reading how great the video is on other posts so I thought I would give it a try. I will let you know as soon as I start...I definitely need the accountability and motivation from others. Lets do this!!
