There was an article on Slate.com about that saying, where it came from, and what the author thought of it.

UGH

I want to see, and you must live close, if you are mentioning Great Wolf Lodge.

Listen, 1200 is a bit extreme for some people. I have mine set at 1500, which is way lower than MFP has me set at, even if I hit sedentary, and I go over sometimes 100-200 a day, and I am still slowly losing weight. ( Would be doing better if I hit the gym more.) If you can't do 1200, don't do 1200. Do 1500, and I also…

Hot herbal tea works for me, most nights. Peppermint is my go-to, since I think it tastes ok without adding sugar or cream. Vanilla Rooibos is another one I do.

Anytime I eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's, man.

She is pretty funny.

Dr Oz is a quack, and you shouldn't be listening to him. http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2013/01/can_you_trust_dr_oz_his_medical_advice_often_conflicts_with_the_best_science.html

On Xmas eve, after doing my hair and makeup, before we went to dinner. And my kiddo had fluffy clean hair, too.

Or just twist the hair, like the picture, but saves time. I love twists! My profile pic is my hair all twisted along the sides and in the back. I have bangs/fringe, too.

I swear there are dudes like this every time. And the dreaded repeated weight droppers.

Me, too.

Yes, this! Follow your doc. Hopefully it is your OBGYN, not advice from before you were pregnant. ;-)

As long as you are getting enough food, and enough protein, and taking your prenatals, and are following doctors orders, I wouldn't worry about your weight. Let your doctor worry, you worry about getting the right amount of healthy food. (I am not saying "WOOOO! Food party!" I am saying, up or down, as long as you are…

I totally expect my ramen to feel me up, sexxxxy and cheap! That's how I like it.

My brother is super poor and super skinny. Here is how. Beans/Lentils/Brown rice cooked with some sort of seasoning (soy sauce, enchilada sauce/curry powder/whatever spice is in his cabinet) and veggies. Fresh vegetables are CHEAP. Buy 5 carrots, under a dollar. A head of broccoli is also under a dollar. Good grains/Good…

Shoot, I think you have to go back to Photobucket and get the links the pictures in a different way, look for "Posting on message boards" or whatever.

I will try to help, I think the last img tags got messed up, usually they end, like /img.

I should stand up but my arms and my double chin are what bug me more than anything. I have one standing up, but wearing multiple layers and a baby on my back. Also, I have one of my crazy huge rack right now, coming out of a tank top, but I think that would be the wrong message.

Good point!! Oh man. I never thought of that.

Thank you for all your stories, team!

Man, I have NEVER been healthy enough to hang with my friends in bikini's. Probably for the best, since we tend to drink and I tend to lose track of where my pants/skirt is holding on to.

Thank you. I agree. I am totally an example of "B" on your list.

No thank you! I already feel enough shame and self-loathing over my eating habits.

Thank you for this, I love this post.

Nope, delish! I used to like it with honey, but now that is TOOOOOO sweet. (Thank God for getting old and slightly getting rid of my all powerful sweet tooth.)

I think about this A LOT. My husband and I have talked about it and hashed out the details. We would instantly split it down the middle, that way we don't mess with our marriage by arguing about what to do with it. (Although the other day he was saying something like we get a third and then give the last third to charity…

Yes, ask your doc! Keep the calories where they need to be to make that baby's brain!

All I could stomach during the first trimester were McDonalds fries. Seriously. I did ok, I only gained 20 lbs while I was pregnant (I was obese, so I didn't have to gain that much.)
