I am at 8 weeks. I found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks, and had lost 7lbs total due to exercising and not knowing I was pregnant. I have gained 2lbs but not because I knew I was pregnant. I am hoping to gain no more than 20lbs because I was already overweight. I'll wait to see what doctor says on Friday.

I am so wanting to cloth diaper. Husband and I just will not have the money to be buying disposable all the time. Husband seems to be on board so far (lucky me). How many diaper covers and inserts do I need to buy, if I am doing laundry every couple of days? I know I have to buy newborn ones special and then buy one size…

maybe something like a southwest burrito, black beans, salsa, no eggs, could add some ground turkey or something.

Hi everyone. I just found out I am pregnant. Actually found out last night. How many calories should I be eating? I am 4'11 and 165lbs right now. It said I only need to gain about 15lbs. I know the baby will end up weighing between 24-30lbs with all the extras in there. Have no idea how much food I should be eating? I plan…

I drink 2 24oz bottles at night to get in all my water for the night. You wont feel like eating after that, and then go to bed. And DO NOT GET UP to SNACK. I just don't allow myself to get up and binge anymore.

I'm 4'11 SW 170, CW 163, GW 120 (maybe lower) feel free to add me :)

bump - I'm waiting to hear some good recipes :)

I havent had sweet tea or alcohol in a little over 6 weeks. No white bread or pasta. I only eat 100% whole grain now, if I do eat a grain. Also, I've given up regular milk. I drink almond milk in my cereal now. For the most part given up adding shredded cheese to things. Oh, and potatoes. The only time I have potatoes is…

thank you so much for the reply!

^^ this. good ideas.

I in the past have had my worst cravings for food when I am already laying down for bed. I simply no longer allow myself to get up and eat. Maybe you should ask yourself questions before eating a food, like am I really hungry? will eating this help my achieve my goals?

wow you look great. such a big accomplishment!

I think my feet have also lost weight lol So far I have not lost any weight in the boob area. But now that I'm losing weight in other areas, I feel like they are losing some elasticity :(

I can't wait for the day my collarbone makes an appearance

^^this

lol yes I saw some back fat say goodbye too

I have a metal steamer that came with a pot and pan set. but you can buy a steamer at walmart I am sure. You can add seasoning like Ms Dash but I like the flavor of pure vegetables. i check for doneness with a fork. Broccolli takes around 10 minutes maybe. if you boil it, you will lose a ton of vitamins

2 weeks ago I started upping my calories from 1200-1500. finally I've reached my 1990 but, somedays its more like 1800. I had an initial 2lb gain probably cause of restricting my carbs and then upping them with em2wl. Yesterday i was at 164.8, today I'm at 164.4 :) Seems to be working I cann't sustain 1200-1400 calories…

I agree with other posters, stay within your sugar and sodium. Also, I would try to cut out the sodas, even though they are diet. Your body will respond better to straight water!

everyone is different. At first I was working out 2 x a day for 1 hour a piece. and for two weeks solid, I didn't lose any weight. I started taking days off every 4-5 days off. Then I lost 7lbs pretty quickly. I believe our bodies need rest.

I have kinect, and I started my weight loss journey on Zumba Rush. I love it. I'm pretty sure it over estimates the calories burned, but its great (if you love to dance)

canned tuna(light and in water)!! and cheap!

tuna, canned.

Our Rescue dog Vivan is, Vivers or chubby baby. Our Boston Terrier Lola is, Lola Bear or Lolly,..or Boston Terror

Speaking of boobs. anyone know good exercises that actually lift or tighten chest muscles?

you need this recipe in your life. i love it. 1 head kale, washed and thoroughly dried 2 tablespoons olive oil Sea salt, for sprinkling Directions Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Remove the ribs from the kale and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Lay on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil and salt. Bake until crisp,…

I am in the same boat. Except it was sweet tea. Once you start drinking water, you will get a the "thirst" and it becomes easier each day to meet your goal. I drink 2 24oz bottles at night when I am tempted to snack.

yes I think so. I believe mfp doesnt include our exercise in that number, but we have already accounted for it

yes I didn't think of that. thank you!
