Thank you to those that responded nicely! Obviously I understand I should not diet during my pregnancy. But I also know that I'm eating very healthy, and was interested in others opinions as to why they feel or think I would gain 4lbs in one week (others meaning [expectant] mothers). And if it continued or felt my baby was…

Second Trimester, 21 weeks Saturday :)

Unfortunately I have 2 splurge days each week; Saturday and Sunday. I just can't behave myself. ;(

bump- YUMMY!

I use: L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion. There is one kind with a hint of sparkle, that doesn't really bother me. But may others. I usually put it at night, then shower the next morning. You'll still have a colorful glow but without the "smell." Works wonders for me in the winter. I do not, however use it on my…

bake a sweet potato! they're so good for you and taste great too. When I have extra calories i add a some yogurt butter and brown sugar. if i dont i do a dash of splenda with some cinnamon! delightful!

i always "knew" the less you way the less you burn. thats why they say to lower your weight a certain percentage on the elliptical and treadmill. but your lower weight may have motivated you to work a little harder at the run? sorry, i'm not much help! lol

add two scoops of cool whip lite on top (frozen or not) and its delightful. honestly, i drizzled a tad bit of chocolate syrup on top too :) 80 or so cals and its really really good!

If I'm going for a sweet taste, ill add a tad bit of yogurt, or 1 packet of splenda with strawberries, blue berries, strawberry jello, splenda and Cinnamon- experiment with it! Or if im eating it with like steak, ill just add salt, pepper and garlic. maybe some chives...

I was 136.4 yesterday morning. Yesterday afternoon I ate a DD muffin, burned off those calories ++ (I was under cals also) and tthis morning I was 138...I know if fluctuates daily but really, was it because of the freaking muffin?!?!?! hahahaha:laugh:

Try running in intervals. 50 minutes alternating 2 min. @ 4.0mph with a slight incline with 3 min @ 7.0 mph... Gets your heart rate pumping so you're burning a great deal of calories. Not to mention it does pass the time...rather than one pace the entire time.

i use a tomato slice! yummmo

How is everyone doing...5 full days down!!!

Bump. I love cabbage!

Wow, everyone has some great answers here! Yesterday I had a piece of chocolate someone left on my desk, a little treat in place of the PB spoonfuls. I normally do not buy/keep chocolate and candy in my home because I have little self control over sweets, so the chocolate will not be something I'll be grabbing for on a…

Yes, good luck with that!!!! I just yesterday deleted all my photo albums and 100 of my friends. im slowly trying to wean myself away!!!!

Most days I'm taking in around 1500 cals. I workout about 5-6 days a week burning between 600-1000 cals each session. So yah on a "normal" day of 1500 cals and working out, I'm under 1200. hmmmm

bumpyyyyyy

OMG my mouth is watering!

Whats making you stop. I was interested in this tape but wanted reviews on it. Feedback?

I can recommend a great whey protein powder. Pro Nos- Double chocolate fudge. I take one scoop of that (145 cals) Mix it with 1 cup skim milk 1 frozen bananas 4-6 ice cubes. Sometimes I add peanut butter (2 tablespoons) For an added treat. :heart: it!

OK, I'm back in it! Water is good, @ almost 60 oz. Breakfast was a great boal of oatmeal with cinammon. Back at work so I'm doing the stairs at lunch and on breaks. I'm making my time at night to be 8pm, as opposed to 730. Thats what I normally do anyway. Good luck:happy:

i would say no. always think smart! underestimate calories burned, over estimate cal intake. broth such as swanson has a lot of sodium! good day:flowerforyou:

Totally picked a bad week to start this on vacation. Hopefully starting Monday I'll be back to a good start. I've been downing my water, and working out but I feel like I'm snacking more :( I always eat breakfast in the morning while getting ready so thats not much of a challenge to me. Hope everyone is getting their…

Wear a HRM!

Bump!

Doing great with the water. Added some lemon into a huge jug so I'm enjoying it more! I never, ever miss breakfast. I need that and a cup o' joe to survive! Tonight I had a half of D&D pumpkin donut. It was delish, I'm still under cals though! Goodnight.
