@poke987 yay for the treadmill.... Boo for the kidney infection!!! Hopefully that clears up soon. Santa got me the fitness/running watch I've had my eyes on! I'm pretty excited about it. Hopefully it will help me lose this Christmas weight gain. I haven't stepped on the scale yet. I'll prob wait a few days since I ate my…

Hi ladies!!!!! Sorry it took me so long to get on this thread... As you all know life with babies is a crazy one. I'm glad to hear everyone is doing well (minus a few bumps along the way). My fraternal twin boys were born on October 7th. We have had an interesting two months with a few bumps but everyone is doing well. I…

Count me in. I want to lose 12 lbs by Christmas. Are you creating a group for the challenge or just using this thread?

Hey ladies! It's been a while since I checked in. So my water/walking/working out has paid off. The babies collectively gained 2.5 lbs this month and I only gained 1. So somewhere along the lines I must have shed a bit of water weight that I gained. Thankfully the doctors are pretty happy with this months progress so I'm…

@JustAnotherGirlSuzanne So this weekend I wasn't very active and I didn't drink enough water and I'm definitely paying the price! I feel sluggish, and I'm up 4-5 lbs (water weight). So, this confirms my thoughts, keep moving and keep drinking water... it helps so much! As far as the veins go.... I have no clue. If you find…
-
@poke987 I just tried to add you..... wish me luck lol I keep getting the whole "you must be due any day now!!" thing too... my reply "I have just under 3 months left" lol... and "yes... there ARE two in there". Some people say "oh you are so tiny" uuuhhhh no, no i'm not. To them I think "glasses may be a good option" lol…

.....and I passed!!!!!

I've missed so much since I've been a slacker on here!!!! Congrats (again) @summer8it I just read the story and am really happy everyone is healthy after that ordeal! So I think I may have a glow lol I can't see it but people are telling me how fantastic I look ( always mentally question "compared to what?!?" lol). I think…
-
@poke987 I think you have to do it by email. Try adding me kristeneriksen@yahoo.com. If anyone else wants to add me as a Fitbit pal please feel free! I'm right there with you. I'm up 30 lbs and climbing. I'm not concerned cuz I know it's mostly water. The doctor had a minor heart attack but we figured I'm eating about…
-
@summer8it I'm waiting for my husband to say something. When I was pregnant with my son he said I snored worse than our dogs lol (which is bad!) I can only imagine what I sound like now that there are 2 babies lol Is anyone starting to pack on the water yet?!? My legs are swollen this week. I know I need to move more and…
-
Welcome to the group Tiffany and Tyler! A miracle happened today.... I got in my 8 cups of water and am on number 9 right now lol It's actually helping keep me "full". I'm still hungry all day but its way more manageable. Hopefully I can keep it up. Also, I cracked and bought a fitbit zip today! I need help getting…
-
Lol Summer... Swapping to your sons clothes is genius if you fit!!!! Smart girl. I needed maternity clothes too pretty early on. I can still wear a few tops and yoga pants but for the most part I need the belly room. My belly is getting really big... However, everyone keeps saying that I look really good (healthy) which is…
-
@helenmelon29 @poke987 I've had a few days like that but they seem so long ago lol My plan today is to try to chug water between meals, load up on fruits and veggies, and wait for actual hunger (which is surprisingly tricky right now). On a random note, I'm down 4 lbs this morning! If any of you have seen my log from…
-
@RosieRaz My doctor said a similar thing about not gaining too much.. not necessarily a diet but just a "watch the gain" warning. I'm up 30 lbs (23 weeks w/ twins) which does seem like a lot. I've decided to change my strategy though. I'm going to try to go "plant based". Not vegan or vegetarian, just beef up the fruits…
-
@summer8it I've been finding that if I do "too much" I am really uncomfortable for the rest of that and the next day. Ugh I don't mentally feel ready to slow down but it appears to be necessary! Edit... I forgot to ask another question (prego-brain) Is anyone else feeling hungry all day?!?!? I've entered into this stage…
-
I'm 23 weeks pregnant with twins and had the exact same issue. I brought it up to my doctor and they said it was ligament pain and to get a support band. I did get a belly bra which made walking (for exercise) more comfortable but I still can't run and it's not completely gone. I've been told to stick to exercises that are…

Sending good OB vibes your way, Summer!!!!!! Hopefully you will be accepted and more comfortable with this new one. Crossing my fingers for you! So glad I'm not alone, Helen and Suzanne!!!! I love these boys but calm down Bro's! Lol After my complaining I'm feeling a bit more grateful for these little wiggle worms. I just…

Hey Ladies! Haven't checked in in a few days. So, something changed this weekend.... the babies must have grown and are going nuts. I feel so much pressure (like they don't fit!) and they won't stop moving! It's actually driving me crazy lol (I'm generally not a fan of pregnancy... just the baby part) Has anyone else hit…
-
Welcome @brittk2013 !!! I'm in a similar situation as you. I'm only supposed to gain 25-30 and I'm just about at 20 now and i'm 21 weeks along. Even though I am expecting twins the gain isn't supposed to be double. I'm just getting back in the habit of eating well and working out. I figure as long as I do my best and eat…
-
@JustAnotherGirlSuzanne and @helenmelon29 I know for sure I will need a c-section. My son was an emergency c section. If I wasn't having twins it would be debatable BUT since there are two the doctor said they won't risk anything and have strongly suggested the c section. I'm all for it just because I know it's the least…
-
Hey Ladies!!!! I've been a bit absent so I figured I would check in. Welcome to the new ladies!!!! I'm 20 weeks along w/ twin boys. Just had an appointment and discussed my weight gain and FINALLY got some direction. I feel like I've been guessing this whole time and it's nice to have a concrete goal. I'm 17 lbs up and the…
-
Belly Bra/Band update: It really helped a ton!!! I spend an hour with my trainer doing various things and there was only 1 thing I felt a pull/pain with.... and it wasn't even that serious. I still have to try running (jogging? lol) with it but at least I now I can comfortably work out! @RosieRaz I am only 1 day ahead of…
-
I think I should look for a prenatal class or something... idk why I didn't think of that. Good call. http://www.baobeimaternity.com/ That is what I ended up buying. I just felt like I needed more support. I haven't actually tried it yet. When I do I will let you know how it goes!
-
@poke987 @helenmelon29 So glad I'm not alone! Lol. Half the time I'm not even hungry. It's just like a ridiculous appetite. I hope it calms down ASAP because it's actually irritating lol So I'm literally not doing anything. I just got my belly band in so I wanna get back into it slowly. I'm prob gonna go see my trainer…
-
Yay for being in your third trimester Summer!!! and yay for baby shower registries lol So I may have asked this before but am I the only one here who cannot stop eating?!?! lol I swear I have the munchies all day long.... it's actually really annoying. I hope this goes away soon or at least by the time the babies are…
-
@helenmelon29 They are in separate sacks so the doctors said it's not likely that they are identical but since they are the same gender they aren't 100% sure. There is a 1 in 5 chance they could be identical. She said the only way to truly know is to do genetic testing (DNA test)... which unless there is a reason to do so…
-
@helenmelon29 I had an ultrasound this morning and the doctor said both babies weigh .5lbs each.... which means out of my 13ish lb gain only 1 lb is from babies! Starting to freak lol So we finally have the genders... both boys! Our son is going to be so excited when he finds out!
