I am no help, I absolutely love peanut butter too. Not quite a whole jar though.

I want to join you ladies too. What a journey we are on. I am only like 3 weeks pregnant. I am 5'6", starting weight was 166 lbs. When I got my positive test. I just lost 9 lbs. in the last 2 weeks. I do tend to drop a little weight right when I first get pregnant, then start packing it on at an alarming rate. I am trying…

I just found out I was pregnant a few days ago. I am trying to ease my way down from losing to maintaining. The last few days I have been shooting for 1600 cal. days. Depending on my weight at the end of the week, I will either increase or stay the same. I had just been really getting into working out, so I am trying to…

I have recently done my elliptical for 30 min. In jeans because I was in a time crunch, & didn't want to lose any exercise time. It didn't bother me.

Because my scale is just a hair under 180 lbs, & I am excited to welcome the 170's.

Great Job!!!! You must feel so amazingly good!!

I love anything PB chocolate, and have since I was as young as I can remember. If I have a treat, I actually measure it out, and try to keep it in my calorie goal. Ice cream is like 1/2 a cup for 150 calories- I can eat it slowly, and get a lot of satisfaction from 1/2 cup. I am off to check out the website above. Yummm.

I have been able to see a noticeable (in the mirror) difference after about three months of consistent exercise & healthy eating. As far as eating, if you add a lot of fresh raw veggies & fruits, you may not have to count calories, but it might be a good idea to count calories for a few weeks. In that time you would have a…

I love e exercise, both strength training & aerobic, but it doesn't seem to help me lose weight. It does however make things look tighter & greatly improve my mood. If losing weight is your goal. I would concentrate on diligence in recording what you eat, & sticking to your recommended calorie intake, for the amount you…

Wow!!! You should be really proud of yourself, you have come a long way, & You look terrific!!!

Awesome Job!!!!! You look great! my motivation is to have energy to raise my eight children, to be fun & energetic, to feel good, to live long enough to see my grand children. All the while enjoying a more fulfilling relationship with my soul mate.

Wow, you did an awesome job, & look great!!!

Hello Ladies-- Thanks for inviting me to join your group. This is my eighth baby. I have 6 boys and one girl (who is really hoping for a sister). However the odds are not with me - I have two adult step-sons, and that means out of 9 children my husband has only had one girl. We are considering the option of letting this…

Well goodness, I guess I am the biggest gainer. I am due 1/02/13 & I have gained 17ish lbs. so far. I started at 155 lbs. so I am already up around 172 lbs. I was super tired during the first trimester, sleeping all the time, & eating a ton in hopes that it would cure mornings sickness, guess what? it doesn't. But I have…

greek yogurt??

my last pregnancy I went through some similiar issues with blood testing, and I had the amnio, because I wanted to be sure. you have really good odds of everything being fine. After I was givin scarey sounding numbers like that I got so upset and cried all the way home, when I actually did the math myself, I felt much…

I have been eating a bowl of Kellog's frosted mini wheats with with a banana sliced on top (I eat this as a before bed snack most nights). I am also a daily oatmeal, blueberries, fried egg for breakfast eater. I try to make a big salad in the morning and fry up some chicken tenderloins to eat with it. I like my chicken hot…

I almost always eat the same thing for breakfast; 1/3 cup dry oatmeal w/cinnimon, 1/4 c. blueberries, w/1/4 c. whole milk, & one egg fried in coconut oil, and if I really feel like it a (1/3 of a cup of coffee with creamer) but I rarely have coffee maybe a couple times a week. Oatmeal can really help you feel satisfied for…

I am thirty-nine, but only for another month, then I am the BIG 40!!!! I don't care, I really don't feel old, my Sweet Babies are keeping me young.

I have been trying to figure a good daily calorie intake is too. I just lost 7 lbs, and got pregnant. So I know exactly how you feel. I was eating 1500/day, then when I found out I was pregnant, I went up to 1700, but still lost 2 lbs in one week, so I bumped it up to 1800/day this week. I think I am just going to see what…

being touched really bothers me. It just makes me feel prickly.

Hello Ladies, Congratulations to all of you!!! I just found out I am expecting #8 on January 2, 2014. I gained 60 ish pounds with each of my first 6 children, then only 40 ish pounds with #7. I am really wanting to get through this pregnancy with no more than a thirty pound gain. I have been trying to adjust my calories to…

BEAUTIFUL!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story.

Congratulations! You look fabulous. Keep up the amazing work.

If this is his first child, he will get better over time. My husband had two boys when I met him, and so he already was good with kids, but over the last 10 years (and 7 children), he has gone from 0-10 on the scale of helpful around the house and with the kids. We do talk about everthing, and it can be hard to talk to a…

you can add me too.

Great Job! Keep up the good work! :smile:
