there will always be ingorance in the world. period. and for those that are ignorant to knowing whom I'm referring to...it's the ignorance of thinking that a woman feeding her child is equal to any other act that should be kept behind closed doors. I see more skin on facebook and on MFP profile pics than anyone ever sees…

i thought the same thing. I was (slightly) concerned that I wasn't eating enough in the beginning and that the easiest way to add calories was to add "unhealthy" higher calorie treats. but now I have NOOOO problem eating plenty of calories!! lol. My portion sizes have increase (a whole banana in my cereal instead of 1/2…

well, familiy has been visiting for 2 days now and I have been indulging already! :ohwell: Grandma's homebaked cookies:love: , pumpkin donuts, meatloaf and mashed potatoes! But I did get in 30 min on the elliptical and a 30 min prenatal yoga video this afternoon. I guess I have wiggle room with my weight though since I am…

roobean33... yes, i'm excited for tomorrow! but a little "reserved" too, i guess you could say, because I am actually hoping for another boy, and just have this feeling that it's going to be a girl. Not that it will really matter in the end, just one of those things, ya know? bmfrazie...i wouldn't worry about the…

jennamom - that's some intense BH! How are you feeling today? How far along are you? I love your profile pic, BTW, such a perfect little baby bump! ladydeee, kimmers & Brenda - thanks for the feedback on the calories. I've been going between 1850 - 2050 to find the "right" balance. I was 122lb pre-preg and have only gained…

Quick question .... for those of you in your 2nd trimester, how many calories are you eating? And what has your weight gain been like at that amount?
-
Well, Heather, You definitely have my support as well :flowerforyou: Just like all the other comments ppl like to offer to pregnant women...ignore them! And from what I can tell, if we can create one singular group and then there can be sub-topics within that group. Kinda like babycenter does I guess. That way we can just…

Sorry to you ladies with the bad/dreary weather moving in. We had a BEAUTIFUL day here and it's supposed to continue all week. So I got a great walk in this afternoon :happy: And I made good food choices all day and stayed away from the candy :drinker: Unfortunately, once again I woke up at 4:30 in the morning and couldn't…

stellcorb...that really sux : ( But at least you can do the elliptical (although I know that can get monotonous after a while) Good luck with the hip abeare...I sympathize with the back pain...I used to have back issues all the time and had to see a chiro during and after my 1st pregnancy. It's been really good for the…

heather....good for you for being so patient at the end!! Yep, I'm an RN in a NICU and also an IBCLC :happy: Just yesterday at work there was a 36 5/7 weeker that came in thinking she was in labor and was really upset about the thought of having the baby early. Then after they decided nothing was happening, and she could…

stellcorb...congrats on the pregnancy and on the weight loss success!!! that's awesome!! what have you done besides the food changes to lose weight? what exercise have you been doing? It was hard to keep up my routines in the second part of my 1st trimester, but I'm starting to get back into it. And I, too, had a very hard…

hi girls! I have "stalked" this thread a few times, but I guess I'll officially post and join in the discussions, lol! I am 17 weeks with my 2nd child. doing pretty good keeping up with my exercises but probably not as much as I could do. I think I give myself an excuse sometimes to just take it easy when maybe I should…

Congratulations!! I am 15-16 weeks right now and have been consistently using MFP since jan 2010, lost 40 pounds and was in the midst of doing JM 6w6p when I found out I was pregant. my energy level did dip a bit during the first couple of months and i didn't push myself quite as hard as i did before i found out, but i am…

i am 35 yo, 5'4'' and 123#, when I wore my Bodybugg i would ave about 1700-1800 on a very inactive day and 2000-2200 on an active day with workouts. not a whole lot!

way to try to start a fight, good job. However, I never mentioned starving or eating 9000 cals.

Actually you can "roll over" your calories from one day to another. You do not need to have a set number of calories that doesn't change from day to day. You don't lose weight in one day....it's over a period of time. And if you create a deficit based on a weeklong period of time then you can eat more on any given day as…
-
yep, that's kind of the concept of zig-zagging. have a low cal day then a high cal day, etc. as long as it all balances out for the week you should be fine

I have seen the groups in there a couple of time and the kids all look like they are having a blast. But do they do the actual "party" stuff there? Like the cake and presents?

I think for these last 2 weeks of my "6weeks" I will just to level 2 instead of alternating like I was doing. It's such a better…

The yolk isn't bad for you, it just adds more fat/calories. So if I want a lower calorie meal or snack with some protein I'll have a couple eggwhites. They used to say that too many whole eggs was bad for your cholesterol, but they have kind of retracted that claim. It's all in the balance.
