I have an question, I would love all your opinions: I haven't seen my parents in 4 months. We are going to see them this weekend, and I am really excited to see if they notice a "change" in me, since I am about 20 lbs lighter. My DH said I shouldn't get excited, since it is harder to notice if you haven't seen someone in a…

jalara - I totally understand the weighing in every two weeks. I am beginning to find the same problem. One week I loose, the next week I gain, and so forth. I think I am going to try your two week system! Welcome to all the newbies. It is very exciting hearing everyone's stories. Paldal- I like the challenge this week! I…

I was up 1.5lbs this week. I have a feeling a lot of it is water weight after my saltine cracker and Sprit binge yesterday (Thanks to the food poisoning from Olive Garden):noway: I just realized that one month from today.....I could be getting pregnant. Maybe more info than you need, but it is VERY exciting:bigsmile:

Maybe I need to do more research on this before I make a decision. I am totally freeked out about the entire pregnancy. I am terrified of roller coasters too. I compare getting pregnant to getting on a roller coaster. Once you sit down, get strapped in and start moving (aka get pregnant), you are in it for the long haul.…

I am down 1 lb from last week. I also started a new exercise program this week (I am trying to start running) so I am hoping to see some results by next week. I am willing to take what ever pain killers and memory erasers they offer to me. I am absolutly terrified of the entire pregnancy, not to mention the labor portion.…

I just had to let you guys know about my last 24 hours. I had some serious revelations! Yesterday I hit the 180's. Its the first time in 4 years that I have seen myself in the 80's. To celebrate my accomplishment, I took myself to Panera Bread, had soup, mac n' cheese (The You Pick Two thing) a piece of french bread,…

Well, not a good day on the scale. I didn't loose anything this week, desipite my amazing, super women efforts:laugh: Maybe nextweek will be better. As for names: Boy: Ethan Jacob Girl: We dont have one

Caliwaters - CONGRATS!! How exciting for you. I am not sure about the maintenance, but I am sure some of the other pregnant ones can weigh in on that.

Angela - Let us know how the appointment went. I hope you have a better day today. Co-workers can be so miserable! Try not to let it get to you too much. I am excited for the weigh in tomorrow. I have been SO good all week, and now that TOM is done, I am really hoping to see some progress. I would love to be out of the 9's…

Its funny how two months can/will change everything. I got my period today, and I feel very thankful. Two months from now, if I get it....I will be dissapointed! Here is discussion topic: For thoes of you who work, what is your maternity leave policy? How many weeks off do you get, and what % of pay do you get?

I just walked 2.5 miles at lunch time!!! It only took me 40 minutes, and I am so VERY proud of myself. I am still planning to go the the gym tonight too! So.....I am 2 days late. I am always exactly 28 days. I am at day 30...and nothing. We had an "oops" 4 days into my cycle. We want to have kids soon, but not quite yet. I…

Well, the scale says I gained 3.5 lbs in 2 days!!! I think/hope this has to do with my TOM. I think I will wait unitl TOM is over, and then see if I made any progress!

I did pretty good yesterday. I even made it to the gym. It turns out when you have only slept 1.5 hours in the last 36, working out is pretty hard! I only managed 15 minutes and then thought I may fall asleep on the elliptical. It is birthday day at work. I just ate a White Chocolate Macadamian Nut Cookie and a Crossant.…

Thanks for all the encouragement!! I am back at it again this week. I am hoping that I can work really hard at it, and see myself into the 180's by weeks end. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Hey girls....I really feel like I am falling off the wagon. I have been drinking soda (which I stoped on 1/1/10 and hadn't had any for 3 1/2 months), eatting junk like chicken wings, pizza, chicken strips, fries, etc. I just feel like since the weight isn't coming off, It just isn't worth it. I know the weight isn't coming…

I have been taking prenatal vitamins for about a month now. I forget to take them everyday, but I probably take them 3-4 times a week. I got the target brand pretty cheap, and they don't make me sick. I also noticed for the first time this month the changes "down there" at days 13-16 in my cycle. I never had put two and…

Kiffypooh - YEAH!!! Congrats on the weight loss. I weighed in this morning, and it says I gained 2.5 this week. I think something is wrong, because I don't think I have hit 1200 calories once since I got sick a week ago. I am going to pretend I didn't see that, and just focus on next Wednesday. I am still sick - I went…

Just checking in. I changed my profile picture. I figured you might all be getting tired of looking at my puppy! I came down with a nasty cold. I am fighting it as much as I can, but I am having a rough time breathing as it is, so working out is out of the question! It is so hard to be sick when it is starting to be so…

My husband wants twins too. He keeps asking me if I can tell the dr. that I have been trying for over a year, so he will give us a fertility enhancer, and increase the likelyhood of twins. I said....if God wants it to be it will, but I am not risking the chances of multiples on taking not needed drugs!!!

Kiffy - I am totally up for a challenge. I think my goal is to loose 5lbs a month for the next 3, so I would like to be 175 on June 31st. With how slowly the lbs have been falling off, I don't think I could hit 20lbs, but I think 15 is reasonable for me. Jalara- I hope the pain goes away, but I am glad you were able to get…

jalara- Thanks for starting the new thread and I like the water challenge! Welcome to all the new girls. It is so fun seeing all the women trying to get healthy or stay healthy while having a baby. Since Wednesday is our weigh in day: CW: 191.5 Lost this week.........................3 lbs....................:happy: :happy:…

I was in your same position about 6 weeks ago. I kept looking for a fix to break the plateau. I ate more, I ate less. I worked out more, I worked out less. I actually got very close to giving up, as 2 weeks, let alone 6 weeks of not loosing is very frustrating. However, I stuck with it, believing that all this working out…

I am hitting the water like crazy, and am running to the bathroom just as much:blushing: But maybe I should try to change my workout. I typically do 30 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes of weight training (alternating arms/legs). I have been trying to up the intensity of the cardio, but maybe I need to walk/jog on…

Angela - I am sorry to hear about your work. I am in a similar situation with several people who think that acting like 14 year olds is acceptable. It is so very frustrating. Jalara - Are you able to start working out again yet? How are you feeling? Did the absess go away, or do you have to go in again? So I think I am…

New Week is up http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/89232-pregnancy-2010-week-13?page=1#posts-1231321

Today is weigh in day :sad: Apparently I gained 1.5 lbs this week. I worked out 4 days, and stayed within my calories all 7 days. To say the least I am a bit frustrated. I think I am going to take tonight off, and try to regroup. I was really expecting some happy results after all my hard work this week.

jalara - I am so glad things went well for you. I didn't check into MFP over the weekend, but I kept thinking about you. I had a very good weekend. We went to the gym on Saturday, and I got in what I think was probably the best workout I have ever had at a gym. Yesterday, I was in charge of an easter egg launch at my…

Just had to comment.....My Pants Fit!!!! I bought them 8 months ago, as they were really cute. I have been trying them on about once a month, and today....they fit! With a bit of room to spare.

Welcome to all the newbies. It is so exciting to see so many of us all in the same position. Trying to get healthier before bring a baby into the world! I am planning to start trying in June or July. We are going to Mexico for the 4th of July...and my husband is hoping for some Mexico magic :blushing:

New week is up! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/88012-pregnancy-2010-week-12
