  • Anyone have suggestions on where to find decent looking (and decently priced)plus size maternity clothes?
  • Hello. I am pregnant with my 3rd, and VERY overweight. My doctor actually advised me to lose weight. I've lost 3 lbs. So far, but I'm only 10 weeks along :/
  • I have a fit it, but I haven't been waking like I should. I've planned to walk on breaks at work but it has been very hot and humid here. Right now we are experiencing some Fall like weather, so hopefully I will get out some this week to walk.
  • I plan to start Optifast next week, although I will not be doing a program, just ordering through Amazon. I know it would be better to do a program, but I can't afford the rates I have seen that they charge. So I will order through Amazon, and hopefully be successful with the support of family, friends, and all of you!…
  • We are having a little girl:)
  • Yep, I have and would do it again. I was just so proud of myself for running the entire time, I really didnt care that I was last. My first 5k I finished last, my second one, I finished second to last because a woman had to wait until her husband was finished before she could start (they had small children that needed look…
  • I can't contribute to this topic, because I am 4 and 1/2 months pregnant, so of course my weight and measurements have gone up, however it is so encouraging to read about all of the success everyone has had! Hopefully after I have the baby I will be a successful as all of you! Keep up the good work!!
  • I'm due 10/11/12. This is my second baby so chances are, I won't deliver exactly on my due date, but it would be super cool if I did. I went to one of those specialty Ultrasound places, at 14 weeks, and found out that we are having a girl! So now, I will have one of each!! I can't wait. I just hope it's not true what they…
  • OMG!! That is horrible!I can't believe that they treated you that way. I had a very good experience, except they had to go and get me a bigger gown because the standard size was leaving little to the imagination! I am delivering at a different hospital this time because they closed the maternity ward at our local hospital,…
  • Hi my names is Mandy and I am from a little town called Washington Court House, Ohio. There isn't a lot to do here but luckily we are only about an hours drive (give or take) from Columbus, Cincinnati or Dayton. I am currently 17 weeks pregnant but doing my best to stay healthy during my pregnancy,
  • 33 and from Ohio...also 17 weeks pregnant, but bound and determined to have a healthy pregnancy. Anyone can feel free to add me..I need all of the help and support I can get!
  • Actually I gained 115 with my first one 5 years ago to end up at 285 lbs! I managed to lose 85 of it over the past 5 years but I am still starting off at 200. I am struggling with all of the weight I have gained so far but I know that it could be ALOT worse. With my first one, i don't think there was one doctor's visit…
  • 26 lbs at 17 weeks:( I gained 20 lbs the first week after I found out that I was pregnant, that is no lie or exaggeration. I was on several different medicines and quit them all cold turkey and I think it just threw my body out of whack. That was when I was 5 weeks along, so In the last 12 weeks I have only gained 6…
  • Thanks for all of the replies everyone. It's nice to know that I'm not alone:)
  • I did gain 115 lbs with the first one, and he ended up weighing 9 lbs 10 oz! But luckily I didn't have any problems with blood pressure or diabetes. It's funny I actually have a different doctor this time because my first one moved 2 hours away, but everyone always told me that my first doctor would be the one to say…
