  • It is up to you, but personally, I think that I would feel really depressed gaining ANY weight, even a healthy weight gain, while pregnant after having spent so much time and energy making sure that I lost it all. I was 180 when I got pregnant with my second and I actually "lost" weight at first....not because I was…

  • Thanks. Honestly this is the first time I've purposely exercised in a long time, so I had no idea. Although I was pretty psyched that I after I put in my exercise I was no longer "over" on my calorie intake today! First day of tracking so I was pretty upset when I went over! Thank for your help.
    in C25K - how to count it? Comment by jonesyx6 May 2012
  • If you look under Groups (instead of forums) there are groups there for people that have 100+ to lose. I have to lose 100+ and I understand how you are feeling about being embarrassed.

  • I am starting C25K tomorrow as well. I'm 100+ overweight and asthmatic, so I'm more than a little nervous and scared about RUNNING!

  • I'm starting tomorrow too. I just signed up and I'm in the same boat, sounds like. I am hoping that the tracking for MFP will be easier than WW. That was hard only because it seemed like I had to deconstruct and type in every recipe because I don't eat a lot of prepared foods. If you need someone to help with…

  • It sounds like you are in a good place mentally. I think that's great! I've got a "big number" to lose as well, so I'm right there with you.
