Well I am off camping for the weekend. I am leading a couples retreat. I have spent the last week cooking, packing and getting ready to feed 15 people for three days! At least this way, I control what we are eatting, and can make good choices for everyone. Have a great weekend everyone.

It wasn't me, but my best friend was in the obese category. She was about 225-235 when she got pregnant. She was really good with her food intake, eating lots of whole grains. She had a really easy pregnancy, and had no problems at all. She gained 14 lbs, total and the baby was 9 lbs. She really inspired me to believe that…

WOW, thanks for sharing. I don't even look that good now, let alone when 34 weeks pregnant. Good for her!

I totally agree that this should be easier. Got a BFN this morning. Month two now over and done with. On to month 3:ohwell:

Chelleim - I tried the C25K thing. I downloaded the one for the I-pod that tells you exactly when to run and when not to. It just didn't work for me. I think I will be an eliptical girl my whole life :) Paldal - I have found I get the headaches when I drink a lot of water, but I think it is becuase I am drinking water…

I am really trying to focus on the water. I had completely give up all soda for 5 months, and honestly, I was feeling really good just from not drinking all that sugar. I am trying to kick the soda once again, and am already noticing the bloat disappearing in my tummy.

I am Amanda, have been married 4 years, live in Ohio for the time being, and have been TTC for 2 months. I just thought that I would get a positive on month 1, and it was a big blow to me. I have reset my expectations, and am trying to think of the positives (like the fact that if I get pregnant in the next few months, I…

Does everyone have symptoms early on? I am 11 DPO and honestly I am scared to test, becuase I don't want the dissapointment. I have promised myself not to test until the day AF is supposed to come. However, I haven't noticed any symptoms of pregnancy. Is this an automatic sure sign, or do lots of women have no symptoms…

Hi! I am also hoping to start a family very soon. In the meantime, I am really hoping to loose as much weight as is reasonable. I did a great job this spring (loosing almost 25 lbs), but I fell off the wagon in May, and have gained 7 lbs back. I am really hoping to start loging my food again, and my goal is to work out at…

We actually have a group started already. Its an open group, with newbies joining all the time. We have a few ladies that are in their last few weeks, and others that are just starting, or TTC. Feel free to check us out! Here is a link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/104498-pregnancy-2010-july

I agree with the others, you cant leave once you have the babies. We wont know who to turn to for advice. I am really hoping some of the others who are TTC are able to conceive around the same time I do...so we have a team like you ladies did, Angela - What is a prenatal cradle?

My husband has been looking at this ring at the jewlery store for a long time. He wanted it as a ring he can wear on his right hand sometimes. I was shoping this weekend and went in and bought it for him. I am going to save it until I find out I am pregnant, and then that will be how I will tell him. I will give it to him…

Angela - What a "dorky" friend. I am sorry that she cant keep her mouth shut, but holey moley!! Maybe you should write back and say something like, Well, I am having a boy, and obviously he needs some cushy room too! dpage - The waiting can be tough. Last month I just knew that I was pregant, and every little symptom made…

Well we gave TTC the best shot we could this month....now the waiting game begins. At least I can catch up on some sleep now. My DH gets home at 1am from work, so I have been waiting up for him so we could do the baby dance. Then I have to get up at 5 to go to work. A whole week of running on 4 hours sleep each night just…

Angela - YEAH!!!!! I am so happy your test came back negative, what a relief, I am sure. I have to admit I am so inspired by all you pregnant ladies! You are all eatting so well, and being so good with watching what you eat. If you can do it while pregnant........I have to be able to do it now, since I don't even have…

I am back from Mexico, and brought an extra 3 lbs with me :sad: It was an all-inclusive resort, so we ate and drank the days away. I have a feeling I may be able to drop it quickly though, since I didn't drink much water down there, and had quite a bit of salty food. I am planning to get back into the workout mode now that…

Well off to Mexico we go....tropical storm and all! I guess we will "know what to do" if it is rainy and we have to stay inside all day:laugh: Hopefully I wont gain more than a few lbs next week. All you can drink and eat is going to be difficult to resist. "See" you all in 8 days!

Well, I broke the streak. First time wasn't the charm. AF hit like a ton of bricks. On the plus side, now I can go on vacation and party it up...knowing that this will (hopefully) be the last vacation without kids.

BFN = Big Fat Negative (on the pregnancy test).

I got a BFN this morning. Was very dissapointing. AF should come by the end of the week, so we shall see. My Brother called last night, his wife is pregnant. Will be the first grandchild on our side!!! I am going to be an Aunt!!

For all you ladies that are or have been prego: How soon after conception did you start feeling the "effects"? I am 10 days PO, and have been very nausious for about 4 days now. Not throwing up, just feeling very queezy. Could it be?

Hey, maybe will will all get "lucky" together. I know there are at least three of us TTC for the first time this month, or at least not taking measures to prevent it:smile: I should find out while I am in Mexico if I am or am not. I don't plan to test until I get back, since I am supposed to get AF while there. I guess…

Congratulations on the new addtion!!!! Angela - I try to alternate between grilled chicken breast (I will eat them plain, on some bread with a little cheese and tomato sauce, or on a salad), soup, and turkey sandwhiches. I am not sure if that helps, but thats my usual lunch. So...it always seems like Aunt Flo comes so…

ugg...not a good week. I am up 2.5 lbs from last week, but I am hoping it is more water retention than actual fat I gained. My husband is on a business trip, and was out partying with all his co-workers. He made me so mad on the phone that he is out partying, eatting ribs, fried food, drinking a ton of alcohol, etc, that I…

Jalara - Thanks for the encouraging words on the May board. I am glad to know that it is normal to question if it is the right time. Its just I am so happy with where I am in life right now that I don't want to complicate it, make it rougher, etc....but I know that a baby will bring me joy too. Angela - I love the new…

June is up http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/99418-pregnancy-2010-june

I hope you all had a great weekend. I guess we started trying this weekend, or at least started not trying to prevent it :blushing: My question: Did anyone get to this point, and then start freeking out. All of a sudden I am questioning if this is the right time, if we are really ready, if I really want to do this, etc.…

Jalara- Im feeling good too! So excited to hear you will be participating in "June Activities", just like me:blushing: I am down 1.5 lbs.

Jalara - How exciting, maybe you and I will be on the same Baby schedule, as we are starting next month too. ron- I know how you feel. We had a situation like that last year. I was late, so I took a test, and was all upset when it was negative, even though the time wasn't right. I don't know why I was so let down, but I…

Well that explains my Old Navy Jeans. My 18's were falling off, so I was all excited. Then I went to Kohls to buy some work pants, and just hardly fit in 18's. I think that Aeropostal runs very small. Even when I was a true 10/12, I couldn't fit in their 16's. And if you have boobs, it doesn't seem worthwhile to try on…
