I asked this same question last week :-) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1011878-pregnant-need-to-add-calories-help Congratulations. Feel free to add me as a friend siucne we are in the same boat. I am eating my maintenance calories, I may add 100 if dr advises and tryying to be active to stay fit. I hope to not…

Maybe do some extra exercise so you can allow yourself one or two small treats. Pick and choose the treats you really want –e.g. tell yourself if you allow yourself one beer, no bread with the BBQ beer, if you want some of the potato salad, you won’t have the coleslaw If you are going to a restaurant, check the menu in…

Yes, this is a good point. If I feel healthy, take my vits and have a good balanced diet for the first three months maybe I shouldn't struggle to eat extra. Surely I'm still better off than someone on 2500 cals worth of pizza and chicken nuggets :-) I will check all this with my doctor but for now stick to a maximum 1900…

Ah, ok, never thought of that – ok so according to MFP my maintenance should be 1900 so I will try and eat at least that then It will be a struggle but maybe I can add the extra in with healthy snacks and smoothies Thanks and good luck!

I'm a bit late starting as just found I am pregnant and wanted to check with my dr but she's all for staying very active so am starting tonight. From UK but live in Europe. I usually do high impact cardio/weights (usually Spartacus and Tabata rounds) but this is my first time with this DVD

I can’t work put on an empty stomach either– I just can’t push myself as much and feel sick. I tend to work out early morning but have a small snack (cereal bar, nuts, fruit) to break the fast I’m no expert but I am sure that working out late at night is a million times better than not working out at all so if that is when…

Yes me, - 6 weeks. Plan to speak to my dr to see how much I can exercise as had just started the 30 day shred and not sure if that is suitable or if I should do something lighter. Also what is a good safe calorie amount.

I have a (maybe stupid) question...do they record workouts - so if I do some training would that be included?

UK but live in Luxembourg

Me, my DVD shuld be delivered Monday but I will try and Youtube over weekend

I don't eat all of them back but I will have some extra calories on work out days - so usually I try and keep under 1600 - if i do a circuit train and earn 500 I won't eat 2100 but will give myself some healthy snacks extra that take me to say 1800. So normally (non workout days) i eat breakfast at work and rarely snack in…

I can't exercise on an empty stomach, I just feel tired easily and can't push myself hard so when i work out in the morning I have something very small - e.g. handful of nuts, small banana just as a energy boost and I do a much better work out, but my husband is the opposite and cannot exercise after eating so I guess do…

Me too. Diagnosed Hoshmoto about six months ago when I went to the drs saying I exercise like crazy, eat super healthy and keep putting weight on. Currently on 75mgs but still trying to get the right rate. Blood test next week to see – I think its not right as I still have symptoms and struggling to lose but we’ll see what…

For the legs I do squats (normal or split), lunges (backward and fwd) and for the tummy I do stomach crunches, stomach cruches with a twist (opp knnes to opp elbows), leg extensions, plank, hip raises I generally always do the above in tabata workouts (take 4 exercises and do each one 20 secs, 10 sec break x 4 so you have…

A runner friend of mine advised me to stamp down while running on the same side you have the stitch and it does kind of work it out after a few strides

5’8” I started at 191 lbs and my goal is 158 which is still at the top of the healthy BMI but is the weight I used to weigh and felt happy and comfortable at. I was a UK size 12-14 when I weighed this weight. My current weight is 182 so I have 24 lbs and 2 dress sizes to go. I try to stay under 1600 calories a day and…

I try to do the Spartacus workout 1-2 days a week http://www.brobible.com/life/article/spartacus-workout-10-excercises-sculpt-body I think it works, I get tired, and sweaty and ache afterwards which is generally a good sign right - but only been doing it a couple of weeks so not sure yet of the results I also try and do a…

There is a Happy Herbivores group on MFP that has loads of recipes in it :-)

I love curry and it is my downfall. Pizza and cake I can take or leave but I love going out for an Indian meal. Homemade and healthy is not quite the same. Stick to a tomato rather than coconut based e.g. Jalfrezi over Korma. Do you know the place and is there a website with online menu so you can plan in advance and look…
