I found quitting coffee made me gain weight. Or maybe that's just the excuse I'm using for today. But seriously, I used to brew a whole pot of coffee for a 12hr shift and pretty much sip on it throughout the entire day. When I stopped that habit I found I had replaced it with many snacks instead o_o

I was only 17 when I got severe gallstones and had it taken out. I guess it happened because I was 180lbs at the time (5'5") and went on a VERY sudden diet and exercise regime....I pretty much went cold turkey on my old lifestyle. It was too much too fast, I lost 50lbs in less than 6months. I started getting the worst…

I'm glad someone else has posted this! I have been battling this for awhile! I am looking like a hot frumpy mess, my roots are so bad I'm rocking the ghetto ombre! I dyed my hair in my first trimester with blonde highlights, and when I came into work one of my coworkers had to say something very rude about my child coming…

I had that so bad. Being in my third trimester in South Florida....I could have planned this better lol!!!!! I used body powder, seemed to help wick some of the excess moisture.

I busted my chin open on a tile floor trying to skate on a Barbie car. Still have the scar under my chin. Also, don't ask me what I was thinking....but I decided it was a good idea to shut the garage door....BY THE CREASE. Slammed shut on all of my fingers, minus the thumbs. I'm lucky I still have fingers :embarassed: Mind…

LOL I definitely hear you on "how bad can it get?". I'm 26 weeks and doing good on my gains so far so I'm starting to feel like I have a free ticket to eat whatever the hell I want. But I know this is a terrible idea and I'm holding out the urge for at least a few more weeks, I'm not even in the third trimester lot there's…

I went through this and still hardly ever have an appetite. I didn't even start gaining weight until about 22 weeks. I am a little over 25 weeks now and still rarely have an appetite. I eat because I know I need to and my baby needs it, not because I'm hungry! Using MFP has helped me realize when I need to be eating more…

Pre-Pregnancy: 150lbs 25 weeks: 157.4lbs Weight seems to be stacking on quite rapidly now!!! Odd to me because I'm still eating very healthy and working out more than I did the first few months of pregnancy. I guess the difference is I am not puking anymore, baby is growing, and I think I am retaining water! Still doing…

I LOVED that cereal :love:

Kix. Because I'm boring like that. Second-Cocoa Puffs

Yes, me! I SWORE I was going to be one of those doomed ladies who has to deal with it the entire pregnancy because it just never seemed to end and it did seem to get worse. Somewhere around 15/16 weeks it gradually started going away! Sometimes I still have really nauseating moments but nothing like I had in the first tri…

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”

Congrats! I'm 25 weeks here...feel free to add :-)

My after work/bed time routine for the last couple of months has been laying in bed with little to no clothes on playing Mario Kart on Wii U gamepad. And getting very fired up, cursing a lot, and taking pleasure in F%*& someone up. Probably 8 year old kids. I'm 27. EDIT: And I once bought myself a birthday cake from the…

I feel you there!! I had not gained a single pound the whole pregnancy.......and all of the sudden I am up 5 POUNDS in a week and a half?! Oh Lord I'm scared now! I don't mind the weight gain but I do mind how quickly! I don't know why either I have been eating very well and exercising more. I am guessing water…

I don't know. Maybe I lack people skills but I refuse to ask at all unless I *KNOW* they're pregnant. Also don't make comments on their bodies if they do tell you. For example....the first few months people said I wasn't showing at all and would say I don't look pregnant, etc. Ok that might be kind of a good thing but then…

congrats! I am 24 weeks with a little girl. I am tracking my food and exercise to make sure I don't gain too much too fast. I am eating very healthy (for the most part) and getting some level of exercise in at least 3-4 times a week. So far I've gained 5lbs total.....not bad but the problem is all 5 of it happened within…

My mom gave birth to my sister at 40 and myself at 42..... We both came out quite alright (if I do say so myself :bigsmile: ) and the only issue my mother had was gestational diabetes. Quite frankly my mother has always thrived on fast food, junk food, sweets, and no exercise so that doesn't surprise me though. I am now 27…

I must be gaining water weight or baby is having some kinda major growth spurt! Pre-Pregnancy: 150lbs Current Weight (22.5 weeks): 152.4lbs Not a huge gain, but yesterday the scale said 150lbs AND I walked at a semi-brisk pace for an hour AND ate very healthy. Oh well, about time I gain something :bigsmile:

Not so much fantasy but I love Sci-Fi books. I am finishing up Hyperion by Dan Simmons and have the rest of the series on my shelf waiting for me.

Finally getting some weight on. 150lbs pre-pregnancy, lost 5lbs due to morning sickness...........back to 149lbs now at just shy of 21 weeks. Those 4lbs came back rather quickly though so I think I'm starting to get some gains. Baby is doing good :)

Basically. Most people who have gained weight already know that and don't need someone telling them to see that. I'd encourage my S.O to be healthier with me, such as cooking healthy meals for us both and doing something active and fun together-hiking/biking/etc.....but I would not just tell him you've gained weight. Then…

oh my God. I would die. You are super woman!

Ohhhhh that was the FIRST thing that made me think "gee, I might be pregnant!" LOL it is definitely common!!!!!!!!!!!! Some say it gets much better in the 2nd trimester. For me it really didn't, although my nausea got much better so it made things easier. I still have way more lazy days and exercise off days than I'd like…

Oh lord....I would NOT by any means recommend swatting!!!!!! I have learned from my own experience as I once too thought this was "how to potty train". When my pup would tinkle, I would give him a LIGHT swat and put him in the back yard....what did that do? Caused him to pee even more because now he was afraid and being…

Following. Due in December with my first. I work 12 hours a day, not including commute/time it takes to get ready. I don't really know HOW I am going to do it, it stresses me out :sad: I have a hard time getting it done WITHOUT a baby in the picture!

My dog sleeps in the bed which is something I regret. I get tired of getting a poor nights rest when I have to wake up early for work because a $#@E dog hogs the space and lays all over my legs. Also, I get really tired of all the fur everywhere, he's a Shetland sheepdog. Even when I wash the comforter it's furry a couple…

I am 20 weeks pregnant. I have only gained 2lbs but my belly looks like it's gained 15lbs and my regular clothes certainly don't fit. Every body is different :)

Well, when I first lost weight it was because I was 18 and had never had a boyfriend but all my girlfriends and siblings did. Nor did I get asked to prom or homecoming. Also got rejected and humiliated by my massive crush. I chalked it all up to being I was too fat. I guess it proved true because I had no problem dating…

Second putting away the scale. If you do decide to keep one, once a week is reasonable. I used to only weigh myself at doctors visits or when I'd go to the local Publix and use their in store scale. Doing so less frequently was so nice because when I actually did get weighed, I was pleasantly surprised. When I first…
