Hopeing this helps: I am 26 years old. I have had 3 misscariages. At the time I weighed 255lbs each one a year apart. It was soooo hard on me that it kept happening. It didn't help that my obgyn was an *kitten* who kept telling me if you don't lose weight your never going to carry to full term (in not so nice words) and…

My nephew loves it lol. I do it to his eggs too.

I hope she calms down lol. She sticks her head in the shower on and off to make sure I'm still in there lol

I'm about 2 hours from there. I go there to shop lol.

Thank you. I worked my butt off to get where I am now. Whoever has been told they are past the point of losing weight without sergery or help I'm living proof it's not true. My husband tells me every day how amazing I am. My own community has hired me as a motivational speaker for obesity awareness. If I can do it anyone…

My previous weight keeps me motivated. I weighed 255lbs. I was huge, I was unhappy, depressed, couldn't have a baby because of my weight, I had 2 miscarriages due to my weight, my ankle was developing arthritis to quickly because if the weight on it (bound to happen, I broke the same bone in the same spit 3 times) my…

I had an extensive conversation with my obgyn about the 140 heart rate. And I'm here to tell you my obgyn told me its crap. That's a baseline for woman who have NEVER worked out before. If you do cardio regularly keep doing what your doing, just don't push it. I get my heart rate up to 160-165 while doing cardio. My son is…

This is my first baby and after hearing all the pros and cons of each I decide to go all natural. I'm not going to drug my baby because I can't handle the pain. Plus I had one woman tell me her face tingled for a week after as a side affect. And my aunt had it reverse on her, her top half went numb! So she had to have two…

Lol I lost the battle with my husband. I can't figure out how to upload photos, but it's all done I. Dallas cowboys lol. Oh yeah I'm having a boy.

Musicgirl: At my 20 week appointment I was up 20lbs and have maintained ever since. I do weigh myself regularly and maintaining has been pretty easy. :-) I've even lost some weight lol.

Update: I tried to talk to my husband about the possibility of having another baby 3-4 years down the road and he told me he was planning to get a vasectomy! I understand that he's 41, and I'm his second wife, but he gave his first wife as many kids as she wanted, but with me I had to beg for the one I have. It's not fair.…

I'm glad some of you had easy pregnancies. Lol makes me feel better

I'm 25 weeks and 4 days, I'm up 25 pounds but have maintained 180lbs for 6 weeks. And have to maintain for the remainder of my pregnancy.

On my mother side, All the women are in shape look great it's disgusting lol, And eat one of them has had an easy breezy pregnancy. But on my father side most women are obis and their pregnancies are rough from day one up until week 40. Everywoman on my dad side has gotten gestational diabetes. So I'm just hoping I luck…

I'm bound and determined to have my obgyn not harp on me at at least ONE Aappointment. Lol I have 3 and it this particular one who's just mean mean mean about it. I see her again at the end of February and I want her to say good job just once lol. Mostly because she acts like I can't do it.

I've been maintaining 180 pounds now for 5 weeks! Yay. I've been back to regular cardio for almost 20 day, and I'm starting to get my stride back! I can workout for 40 minutes and feel great afterwords, I've started upping my speed on the elliptical, I've gone from 40 rpm to 55-60 rpm but still on resistance 6.... But I…

I was also consuming 1200 cal for I got pregnant and working out everyday. I am now only consuming up to 1500 cal and maintaining my weight cuz I over gained when consuming 2000 calories.

Levi is what we are naming our son. Love the name Levi lol.

I am 24 weeks six days and we are having a boy on May 4, 2013. After long arguments over names We decided to go with Levi Christian :-) We are obviously Christian people and we both decided we wanted a very strong Name. Since i have a degree in early childhood education and development I wanted to name that would be easy…

Right now I have a stressful sibling situation also, my brother is in a custody battle, the mother had them taken away for alcohol and drug and neglect charges, and then my brother is being investigated cuz she accused him of a bunch of crap so he couldn't get custody right away...... Anyways my mother has custody till…

Yep I'm supposed to maintain through my 3rd trimester also. I'm supposed to stay around 180 ish. So while I'm losing body fat, the baby will be growing..... All three of my obgyns agreed. :-/ I've already gained my recommended weight

Hang in there I've gained 23 pounds at 24 weeks :-/ I'm not supposed to gain any more for 15 1/2 weeks! I have to maintain my weight for the remainder of my pregnancy and the 3rd trimester will be the hardest for me.

I talked with my OBGYN and she said its perfectly fine to use stevia

I have an obgyn appointment tomorrow...... Moment of truth if I've been maintaining my weight. I have my fingers crossed.

I go to my obgyn tomorrow. I'm ask her complete view on stevia. Last time I asked about fake sugar and this is a natural product so I'm going to see her views.

All my drs agrees that Splenda and sweet and low are BAD but it was a mixed review on stevia

Thank you lady's! I think I'll start using my stevia again. :-) but with moderation.

I used truvia every day before I got pregnant and never had a problem. But I have 3 obgyns and they all have different opinions. So they we no help at all lol.

Proud to announce that now I've only gained 25lbs. I e lost 5 pounds since I started working out again I'm now 24 weeks with 25lbs gain.

Oh and on a side note. I know you in person too so I'll be keeping u accountable
