  • I read the books. They weren't the greatist reads (took me forever to get through the last one) but they were pretty sexy. I don't have an Feb baby and I don't get any credit to the books for the baby coming. I do like the name Christian for a boy and actually Elliot (another one of the characters). But, I had to…

  • I gained and lost a ton of pregnancy weight. The good thing about this time is that I KNOW that I'm not doing this again. Once I lose the weight, I'll be fully committed to going extra hard. I lost the weight I gained last time, but still had maybe 10lbs that would be good to lose. In the back of mind, I didn't want to do…

  • I had been enjoying simple green side salads (spring/spinach mix + salt/pepper + olive oil + vinegar) for a few weeks pre-pregnancy and now the taste makes me gag. Luckily, I'm fine with most of my routine veggies like broccoli, brussels sprouts, green beans, peas... I think it was just the raw leafy greens thing. Hope you…

  • I get my dating ultrasound next Monday @ 7w4d. I feel fine and haven't had any issues yet. But I don't have a lot of symptoms other than fatigue - same as with my first pregnancy. I will feel better when I hear a heartbeat and see something.

  • http://www.realhealthmag.com/articles/dieting_pregnancy_weightloss_382_15397.shtml I remember reading about this study shortly before my first pregnancy. It suggested chronic dieters were likely to gain MORE weight during pregnancy than necessary. I know this happened to me (80lbs) because I just felt like it was the one…

  • I was in the process of trying to drop some weight pre-pregnancy and I actually had a test done to figure out my BMR. It is 1570 which is about the same number that the Harris-Benedict equation gives me. That is my rock bottom sit in bed all day number. I multiplied that by a 1.2 activity factor (the absolute minimum…
    in What are/were your maintenance cals for 1st trimester? Comment by keyalus August 2012
  • I do the 6AM class while my husband and son are still sleeping. Our box recently started a childcare swap of sorts where you watch kids for a session and someone else will watch yours. I haven't taken advantage of that yet.

  • That's exactly what I'm doing. Eating my maintenance calorie level and eating back any exercise calories because I exercise daily. Last time I gained about 10lbs in the first trimester even though I exercises! No bueno.

  • Hi ladies! Found out that I'm pregnant with Baby #2 last week. I have one son who will be 3 in September. I spent nearly 2 years losing the ridiculous amount of baby weight that I put on (80lbs!) and I want to avoid that issue this time around. I'm joining this group to hopefully stay on track better during this pregnancy…
