Congratulations! Keep active with this pregnancy, you don't want to over do it but exercise during pregnancy is beneficial to you and your baby. The second time around can be much easier than the first if you keep taking care of yourself, plus chasing around the first will help too! Best of luck, take care.

It is not actually that he says it should be half your height, it is NO LARGER. There has always been a guideline that people with a waist over 36' for women (not sure for men) are at serious risk of heart attack, they have changed that to say anyone with a waist over half of their body height because dividing into…

Don't log it as calories, this is not additional calories burned this is lifestyle. What did you put in as you lifestyle when you started? Sedentary, Light, Moderate or active. Believe it or not that is still just considered light. That 1111 calories is considered in your BMR from when you signed up your profile. The…

Use Circuit Training.

Awesome!

A plateau could be because your body is going into starvation mode from being on a low caloric diet for a stretch of time, but it could also be that it is used to your routine and you need to push your limits.

HRM work best if you just wear them for short periods. Don't ask me why, that is just what the insert said when I bought my HRM.

KJ- I have one of those days today too. Its too late this Monday obviously but next week through something healthy in the slow cooker before work. Serve with a salad you prepare (but don't dress) the night before. I am coming up to the busy season...between soccer, baseball and swimming lesson each night after work we are…

Of course it counts Nessa. I am sure you are being hard on yourself. Add in some squats and lunges to your regular workout and you will feel confident in those shorts this summer.

I like adding one of the taco seasoning packages to it and then putting it on salad. I use turkey for everything I used to use beef for. Shepard's Pie, Spaghetti, chilli, sloppy joe's, casseroles, lasagna, I use it in pad thai sometimes instead of chicken breasts, tacos, burritos... the list goes on and on.

So I ate really well yesterday, until I had 3 beer last night and then thought it was a good idea to eat a pound of wings. So I am about to leave for 8am spin class and then I think I will do a half an hour walk run on the treadmill. I need to drink my water today too, my fingers are swollen I am guessing from the salt in…

Well its not much but I am down 0.2 pounds this week. After so many weeks straight of gaining I will take it. MY TOM never did show up but my PMS has been incredible so any loss is actually unexpected! I have been working out so I guess that is my only saving grace. Have a great weekend!! I am hoping to hit a couple of…

It would be easier to help if you told us what you are doing to help yourself lose weight. Do you exercise? Do you eat all of the calories MFP is allotting you? If you do exercise do you eat back your calories (or at the very least part of them). You have been doing great by the looks of your ticker, you probably just need…

that was disappointing I thought that you may want to take my husband when I saw the topic title I thought this was my chance to pawn him off on someone else :laugh:

Happy Monday. It is supposed to be a beautiful week here, the temperatures are on the rise although it is not going to be exactly warm there is going to be some sunshine. Can't wait to soak up the natural vitamin D.

Well up a pound exactly. This is why I have to weigh daily, when I take a break very bad things happen. Now I know that that is mostly water because of some of the things I ate yesterday and I think TOM will start today but seriously I am getting uncomfortably close to the "overweight" mark again, time to dig in and do it…

So I think I have found some new motivation. In 12 weeks both of my oldest kids have graduation ceremonies (one is grade 8 and the other high school grad). I would like to be in a size 4 by then. I am not going to put a number on it because I think I am too obsessed with the number when it is really the size I should be…

Yollie - your baby is adorable as usual. Just think after the next one your body will be yours permanently.

Happy Birthday Blue! Sounds like you got spoiled.

I have had this before. If it is inner or outer you may want to get a band to wear over your ears, if it is just inner ear try putting cotton balls in your ears. I think some people just have ears that are more sensitive to cold. Maybe someone has a better solution but this has worked for me

[/quote] Mine said that once too :flowerforyou: at least we're not alone right? It only means it can be done and we will do it again!!! [/quote] Thanks Maggs, I needed that. I was having a bad morning. But i went to the gym idd a 45 minute class and did 30 minutes on the treadmill... felling better now.

[/quote] Awwww... I hope your daughter is feeling better and it isn't anything serious. Also hope your day did indeed get better. Take care, ~ Datenshi ~ [/quote] Thanks. I hope she is better today. She finally stopped throwing up yesterday but she was still weak and fevered. Poor thing. I think she had a good night last…

I remember when my ticker used to say 45 pounds lost :cry: :cry: :cry:

I am up 2 pounds. BTW I took back my new scale because it never weighed the same weight twice if I stepped on it 6 times in a row, so I am actually up 2 pounds on my old faithful scale. :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: I have worked my but off at the gym this week but I…

Great job Datenshi. Monday was always my weigh in day but I started to cheat and make it Friday because I am highest on Monday :laugh: :happy: :tongue: I am having a heck of a morning. My 13 year old woke me up an hour before my alarm was set to go off because she had thrown up all over my beige carpet, so I spent 45…

Happy birthday to your daughter Nessa. Happy Tuesday to everyone. It is a beautiful day, it is supposed to rain tomorrow so as soon as the kids are up from their naps we are heading outside for the rest of the afternoon to enjoy the fresh air. Maggs- Sounds great. Good to see you so chipper!!

Well it is true my BF% is much higher than I would like to see, however I am keeping in mind it is almost 15% lower than 2 years ago when I had it measured at the gym. My new scale does indeed weigh me about 4 pounds heavier than the old one, I put them side by side and tested it a couple of times so my weight will go up…

Way to go on your losses Datenshi, Chrissy and Yolie, good job maintaining Maggs and Blue. Nessa- you and I better pull up our socks! :laugh: I went and bought a scale that measures body fat %- I will try it again in the morning but if that is the truth it is ugly!!! It also weighs about 3 pounds heavier than my regular…

Well my body fat stands at 33% and I'm less than 39 lbs from my goal but right now I still have rolls that need to be address on my body. I'm not trying to complicate things. I'm trying to be as informative as I can and learn whats more effective for my body. I've been really successful with weight loss so far now my focus…

Up 0.6 pounds this week. I am so upset with myself I could scream. Its not the weight gain, that I think is just about maintenance. I did not got to the gym or work out once. Thats right I am logging ZERO minutes. I can feel my butt growing and it is not my imagination, my jeans feel tighter. I have had a head cold all…
