Hi! I'm 30 and 5'7" and 175 lbs. I have a 5 month old baby girl and am hoping to get down to the 140's. I was overweight when I got pregnant and loosing beyond my pre-baby weight has proven difficult. Hope we can help motivate each other!

Solo here! My hubby is pretty fit and can eat and drink whatever he wants to. One of my biggest challenges is saying no when he suggests eating out/ordering food!

Hi! I'm new to this group, adding you ladies if that's ok!

Water Water Water! MY Dr told me to be sure that I'm drinking at least a gallon a day. Also, tracking on here has really helped me with portion control and keeping myself honest about making healthy choices. I was recently diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes and have had to make alterations to my diet. While frustrating, I…

Thanks for all of the support ladies! I went to my nutrition class and got my glucose meter this morning! So far so good on my numbers! I registered at 112 2 hours after lunch and 120 2 hours after dinner today. I feel SO much better knowing what's going on and being able to see what effect food has on my blood sugar…

Hello! I'm sorry to hear that things started off so rough for you but am glad that you're off of bedrest and 20 weeks along with a little boy! I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow with my first (a girl) and watching what goes into my mouth like a hawk due to a recent diagnosis with gestational diabetes. Feel free to add me, always…

Good luck to both of you in the coming weeks! ScienceteacherAK, how far along are you now? I'll check out that board, thanks for the tip! :) Miranda_Mom - hang in there mama! He's measuring better than before and yo're dilating so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll go into labor on your own. Almost there!

Yea, my fasting was 104 so I'm thinking that I may end up on meds too. We'll see though and hopefully I can do alright with diet :) How does being on medication effect your birth plan? I was originally going to use a water birthing facility on base, but have already been told that's no longer an option. Will medication…

Hello! Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm 29 years old and 29 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I had lost about 50 lbs using MFP and then gained about 20 back in the 6 months leading up to my pregnancy (my then fiance, now husband, came back from a 6 month deployment and we got married shortly after so there was a…

This sounds terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that! This is my fear exactly - being scolded for something you didn't even know you were doing wrong! My husband is in the Air Force and I was seeing a nurse midwife until this diagnosis. Now they have me classified as high risk and I am being assigned a new physician who I will…

Thanks for the information and support! I wish they could have scheduled me with the nutritionist a little sooner as I spent most of the day looking up information online and feeling like I had done something wrong to cause this. I don't know anyone else with GD, so this has really helped! Steph

We're going with Caroline Lilly (We were married in north Carolina and Lilly's are my favorite flowers)
