Thanks ladies! I have already been tested once for GD, I have to test twice because I am "over weight" lol...I was around 5'8 and 190 when I got pregnant. Anyhow, my number was really low. I get tested again today. As for the heartbeat, we have another appointmet tomorrow, so hopefully I will know then. Thanks :)

Im in the same boat. I feel like Ive been eating bad, but not as bad as the scale is showing. I started tracking my food again this month and I go back for a check up next Thursday. At 5.5 months, I was already up 23 pounds. It is heart breaking, especially since you are just able now to tell I am pregnant. In other…

Dang, can we stop assuming that everyone that goes to PF is fat and lazy, and eating pizza while walking at a 2.0 on the treadmill!!! In all seriousness though, I go to PF because it is convenient. (Ive been at Golds for 4 years, PF for 2) I also have a membership at Golds, but it's nearly impossible to lift weights…

What do yall have your calories set at? I put mine on maintenence and it was 2400. Im trying to stay way below that and its worked so far, but 2400 seems so high.

Yup, I was with a guy for 5 years, and he was awful. I was still young and thought that I could "change" him, or make him a better man. What a joke!!! Here is just a list of the stuff that he did, that I embarrassingly enough, didn't walk away from: -Cheated on me with a woman old enough to be my mother -Broke up with me…

Due July 13th with my first :).

I am in the same boat! I used MFP for years prior to getting pregnant, and I figured I would allow myself to take a break. WELL, that was a bad idea haha. At my 22 week appointment, I have already gained 23 pounds. I am a bit overweight as it is, so my doctor recommended gaining no more than 15 pounds the entire pregnancy.…

It is not fat-hating, it is motivation!!! People need better things to do with their time than get online and bash someone like her!

I did when I took it...I found I needed more food haha. Actually, I have stopped taking it because I couldn't work out like I wanted. I was so sick and weak after a workout, it was pretty scary. I have stopped taking it and upped my calories to 1600-1700 and I feel like I am back to normal, and hitting the gym hard again.…

LoL seriously...I agree. People need to learn to take responsibility for their actions.

This is exactly what I do. I have tried other ways, but this works best.

In my experience, it depends on who is saying it. If a man says I am curvy, that is a total compliment. When women say it, I wonder a bit more. People may not admit it, but women are much more likely to tear you down for your size or shape then men are. I think I am curvy, but I also know I have weight to lose. I am just…

He doesn't actually compete, he just does it because he likes to. He really should compete if you ask me though, especially since he is putting the time in haha. And yeah, I would never make him stop...and know I couldn't even if I tried. We both work out five days a week, we just work out differently. I run more than…

I don't think she mean't anything by "relationship". But yes, we are just in the getting to know you phase and enjoying our time. I don't know what the future holds, but we have only been dating a month so only time will tell. I just wrote the post because it was something I noticed about him.

Welcome!!! Congrats on the weight loss. I took the pills a long time ago after stalling in my own loss. I had dropped about 60 pounds, but was stuck. The pills gave me the jump start I needed, and I lost about 30 more pounds. I kept if off for a long time but fell in to bad habits last summer. I didn't gain a lot of weight…

LoL oh h*ll, and I am teacher!!! Yes, thank you for the correction. I am not sure what I was thinking, but obviously it wasn't too clear. Haha I appreciate it!

At 190 pounds, I usually lost between 250 and 300 according to my HRM, but keep in mind...I did the entire 30 minutes and was sweating and huffing the entire way haha. If you weigh less, I would assume you burned anywhere from 200-250, and if you weigh more than 190, I would guess somewhere around 300.

You should see me when I work out lol!!!

I take mine around 10 or 11 for that reason. Ive noticed that i feel weak at times though. I work out nearly day and im netting 1200, so im not sure why that happens.

I only managed about half of the shake...it was way too much, even for a meal replacement.

Freedom5000 in Austin, Texas. Perfect weather, only a high of 95 tomorrow so it should be about 80 when we run :).

I used to jog a lot, so the first 2 weeks were really easy. I did the first and second week in about a total of a week and a half. I am doing a 5k (with intervals) tomorrow, and then i will get back to the program on Friday. I will keep progressing faster than it says, until my knees start to hurt. Running is horrible for…

I am a middle school teacher, but looking to move out of the profession. I LOVE the kids, but hate that my pay checks are getting smaller and smaller every year, even after excellent reviews year after year. Somehow...a profession that pays more, yet has less stress...seems like a win-win at this point haha! I will miss my…

Yup...mine hurts too, and definitely from jogging. I have been more aware of my stretching though, and that has helped. I must admit, I may be buying a foam roller today though! I have heard they are incredibly painful at first, but they get the job done.

I tried the "Phentermine" diet...I lost weight...and hair! I am one of the few who kept the weight off and had no other side effects. But let's be honest, I would rather lose weight slowly and have hair, then use pills to lose it more quicky and be bald. The hair loss is from extreme diets is most cases.

You are working out 6 times a week and only eating 1200 calories a day? I think I would pass out. On another note, based on your picture, I am not sure why you feel you need to lose weight. If you want a change in your body, stop looking at the scale, and start lifting weights.

I think she looks great. "Thin" is not for everyone just like "big" isnt either, but I think we can all agree that she is more fit that just skin and bones. She obviously works out, and just looking at that picture makes me want to go lift some weights. Even if she was that small, but no real muscle definition, its all in…

The "a few extra pounds" thing goes both ways for sure. I am sure plenty of women lie about their size, I mean let's be honest...a few extra pounds is different than 75 pounds over weight. But, men do the exact same thing. In fact, I would guess that perhaps men do it more. Many men put "average", yet it is obvious they…

VS models are definitely some of the most gorgeous women in the world! Many of them are skinny but fit, and their body shows it. For example...although they are both skinny, there is a big difference between a VS model and Victoria Beckham at her thinnest (and obviously very unhealthy).

Ok, I am not going to argue...obviously you dont understand what I am saying and that is fine.
