  • LOL bpfeifle40. They will always be the sioux to my hubby.
  • Thanks everyone. I have hit the 50 mark now so I do need to come up with something. Many have given me ideas of a massage but I am weird and can't relax during them. But I am thinking maybe getting highlights in my hair. I never do it. Busy mom to 4 ages 6, 4, and twin 2 yr olds! But I think it is time I did something to…
  • Wonderful story. Good for you. I joined about the same time as you and didn't have any goal in mind really either. 6 months later I lost 40 lbs. I felt great and then got pregnant. I was determined not to fall apart during my pregnancy. I didnt until 20 weeks in when I found out I was having twins. My world was turned…
  • kimbosc, I just read your twins were in nicu for 5 weeks. I am so sorry. That must have been so hard. When were you due? I was due 10/25. Mine were born 10/5 at 37w 1 d (barely just minutes after midnight). One of mine were small at 5 lb 2 oz and the other 5 lb 15 ozs but both went home with me after my 4 day c-section…
  • I also had twins but in october! I have lost most of my baby gain. 3 lbs to go but I have more to lose on top of that. Decided to join the group as I am struggling now to take the pounds off. I have a 4 year old, 2.5 year old, and then the 3 month old twins. Life is busy. It is hard to get in a good workout but I have been…
  • Congrats kcasey. What a cutie pie! Well I assume everyones babies have arrived. I hope everyone is doing great. Is everyone back into the swing of things again? Counting calories, working out? Or, just going to enjoy new baby and the holidays? I am having a hard time getting back into it. Holiday are here. We baptize the…
  • We do not know what the twins are as far as sex wise. We believe they are fraternal because they do have separate sacs. However, we did not find out they were twins until 19 weeks and identical can split into two sacs during 2nd tri. So, there is still a chance we may be surprised they are identical. Although, they are…
  • 39 days until my c-section date!!! Can't believe I am into the 30's now. But, my doc is predicting 34-36 weeks I will deliver so my babies (twins) could come in as little as 11 days. I think I will go farther than that but have a hard time believing I will make my 38 week scheduled c-section. My prediction I make it to…
    in 70 days! Comment by mnmomto4 August 2013
  • It has been awhile since I have been on here but I thought I would check in. I am 28w 2d today but I am pregnant with twins so I won't go past 38 weeks. So, I have 68 days left....maybe. My doc is predicting 34-36 weeks. So, we will just have to wait and see. I am feeling a lot of pregnancy pains I had not felt with my…

  • This was my first ultrasound. An emergency one. Good thing my husband could come in and hold my hand in case we got bad news. We still got news that I needed my hand held. Thank goodness I did not find out alone at my routine 20 week ultrasound. Handling it even better today. No tears at all and actually starting to feel…
  • thank you. Doing better with the news today. Only a couple tears. Most people are very excited about it. I think each day it will get easier to be happy and excited. I have a friend who had the same news after two children and she said it took 2 weeks to be happy and excited about the babies. We are buying paint on Monday…
  • I have always had fears. I have never had a miscarriage but I got bad news with my first born that she had a brain tumor during our routine 20 week. ACtually today I got news that I was not expecting. I went in for a routine doc appt at 18w 3d and my doc couldn't find the hb. She looked for what it seemed like an eternity.…

  • Sorry no pic because I don't have a bump yet. 16 w today with my 3rd child. I really thought I would get one earlier than the others but no go. Still down 1 lb from prepregnancy. But, Saturday I leave for St Croix VI! So kind of happy I don't have the bump yet. I can still wear my cute summer clothes. I did buy a maxi…
  • congratulations. It is wonderful having one of each. My sons pregnancy was so different from my daughters too. I just knew he was a boy. This baby is following my daughters pregnancy 100%. I just know this is a girl, but we aren't finding out so i will just have to wait until October to know for sure. My little girl does…

  • I am 14w2d and I am down 3 lbs now. But, I started overweight. My doc has no concerns over my weight loss. I don't understand being chewed out for your weight loss. That doesn't seem right. It isn't much and you are only 16w. Many people lose due to m/s. Sorry I can't help. My doctor has never mentioned my weight loss or…
  • kcasey, are you going to find out what you are having? I am anxious for you. I will not find out the sex of the baby, didn't with the first two but I have a boy and a girl so really it doesn't matter. There are no consequences for me gaining weight. I am pretty fit (even for my weight, I was running 10Ks before finding out…
  • Good job everyone! So excited to see all your losses. I like to keep checked in. I am now 14w pregnant and in my 2nd tri. Yeah! Weight gain is still under control. Still down 2 from pre pregnancy. Just wanted to let you know I am still thinking of the group and so proud of your success.
  • I went to the doc on friday. I had gained 2 lbs in the 4 weeks, but still down 2 from prepregnancy. My nurse seems more concerned over my weight gain than my doc. My doc in all 3 pregnancies has never made a comment. I feel she should have with my first with all the weight I did gain. 14w1d today and down the 2 still. I…
  • I met my husband right after I lost 80 lbs. I was 5'4 and 135 lbs when we met. Looked amazing for me. Fast forward some time, many dinners out and desserts made. I put some weight back on. I still wasn't huge. About 160 or so when I met his family. His mom tried to convince him to meet a girl she knew. We had been dating…
  • Blancanievess I am still counting calories and still working out. My goal is to gain 10-15 lbs for this pregnancy. So far I am right on track with losing this first trimester with no m/s!! Pretty darn proud of myself. My first I went way out of control and gained over 60lbs. My 2nd I was much better but still gained 27…
  • Gained back my 2 I lost last week.
  • Hate to say it but I am pretty lax. I don't count my 20 calorie vitamins, I don't count my vegetables (I was also a WW and was used to having them be a free food), I count my fruit but I don't measure it to decide if it is a large apple vs medium. I just say medium unless it looks larger than it should be. I also do not…
  • Lost 2 pounds this week. Took a risk weighing the day after easter with eating salty hamb so I wasn't sure. Turned out to be good.
  • No but I don't like them. Also, I am pregnant and the thought of chocolate makes me sick to the stomach. I know, I am so lucky to lose my sweet tooth for 9 months. But, I do plan on taking all the red jelly beans out of all my kids easter eggs. My kids will never know what a red jelly bean tastes like. Love love love them.
  • Well I am not helping with the percentage this week. The two pounds I lost last week came back on this week so +2. uggghhh. Here's hoping for a better week this week. With easter who knows. I am hosting the family lunch so not only does that mean I eat the unhealthy meal once it means I have leftovers!!! I have been good…
  • Home made parfaits--fat free vanilla yogurt/frozen mixed berry's slightly thawed/grapenuts on top for the crunch instead of using granola.--love it and so do the kids. Kids don't even ask for icecream after dinner anymore. apples
  • I had a goal weight and I am only 7 lbs away from it. I remember weighing that 8 years ago and being very happy. I looked great in photos and wore a size 9/10. Well, like I said I am 7 lbs away and I am nowhere near wearing those old clothes that I loved and I don't feel I look good at all. I have a long ways to go. I…
  • 91% reported a loss! Amazing everyone. Although it looks like a big loss on active members. Our group keeps getting smaller and smaller :cry: Thank you inskydiamonds for taking over the chart. It motivates me to see it every week. Love seeing the green behind my name. But, hate those 3 white squares.
