I have a Fitbit charge HR. It's good. I think the battery life could be better. I certainly wouldn't follow it's calorie suggestion. Sometimes I feel its way off on the calories burned during an exercise.

Awesome story. So happy for you. Keep it up:)

I sweat like crazy! Especially when they have the heat up too high. I think if you clean up the machine and aren't splashing others that is the place sweating should be acceptable. Everybody is different. Some sweat some don't.

I see that is a common thing on here, those videos. I will have to look into them. I love the gym but if my MIL can't commit to coming and watching Charlie I can't go. Charlie is now almost 4 months old and she will sometimes occupy herself for max of 20 minutes. Her and I are doing situps etc together just to get…

I won't give up, I can't give up;((

Thank you very much for your post. My older kids are very helpful so that is a bonus. I guess the big thing like you closed with is not to beat myself up if it goes undone. The afterschool care would be awesome unfortunately our school does not have that and I live close to nothing. Somethimes its so terribly overwhelming.…

I was 169 (dr scales) at first pre natal appointment. Then 199 at my last appointment. At my 6 week check up I was 189. I know, BS!!! I had a 7 pound baby wth!!! The doctor said I looked like I lost more but my thighs say otherwise. I am now at 178 (my scale). I feel that the breastfeeding is actually working against me…

I am better today. But I still get that gaggy feeling in the morning. Its been a week plus now and I am 35 weeks today. I think I had a stomach bug the other day because I slept all day.

I know exactly how you feel. We all do. You do your best to eat healthy but you can't do it 100% of the time. Not pregnant I rarely gave in. Now almost 35 weeks pregnant I have given in several times. I try to balance it though. Either be bad at one meal for the week or something similar. Workouts are getting harder for me…

OMG my mom just said the same thing regarding your thighs needing to "beef" up she says they need to support the extra weight. Too funny! I do appreciate everyone responding with words of encouragement because to be honest I wasn't sure if people would yell at me and say I was being selfish. Thank you all!

Thanks so so much for posting this and just the way you did. I feel lost and discouraged and confused. Knowing that I am not alone and that someone out there is as mad as I am helps. Its just not right! I still have just over 6 weeks til due and I cannot wait to get back to my regimen hard core. I know this is all for the…

My first child I began dialating at 34 weeks. I also bagan losing my plug around 36 weeks it was a little here and ther til I lost a big amount of it around 38 weeks. I was 4 days over his due date when he was born. My second I had no sign no dialation nothing. Then one night contractions began and I had her 2 weeks before…

The most recent posts seem to be ladies going earlier than their due dates. For those of you who went over:( My son, my first was over by 4 days and he weighed 9lbs 12oz and was 22 inches long if he went any longer in there I think a toddler would have come out. Ha Ha!

Hello! My name is Alisha and I am 31 and a half weeks. My due date is 7/16/2014. This will be my 3rd child. I have a 12 year old son, almost 13. Also my daughter is 11. Feels like I'm starting all over again and well to be honest I'm nervous/scared. Thanks for creating this group:)

Thanks everyone:) How varied were these results. I am keeping my fingers crossed this one comes early, my husband travels for work and I so want him there with me.

Thank you for the repsonses. I was curious to see how others were handling this etc. I have good days and bad. Sometimes I feel like a slug and other days pretty good. Thanks again:)

I know exactly what you are going through. I am here if you need:)

Thank you:) The support and hearing others stories really helps to get through this. I know its a wonderful time but on the otherhand its a scarey time.

I posted a topic regarding weight gain during pregnancy after weight loss. It is very consuming and you try not to dwell but its so hard. You can add me. I am now just over 6 months pregnant and as of today I have gained 19 pounds and I feel if I continue this way it will be 28 at birth. I have recently found myself seeing…

I am so so happy to hear that I am not alone in this. Every doctor appointment is so scarey for what they will tell me I have gained. I am just over six months pregnant and overall I have gained 19 pounds. That doesn't sound like much but then I have to take it to the next level and say ok by the time the pregnancy is over…

I added 4 pictures. They are in order from 3 months pregnant to now at 6 months. The belly thing I have as well. I am now 24 weeks and in the AM (very first thing) its not near as big as in the pm. I had heard somewhere that this was due to a floating uterus and more thank likely bloating.

I apologize for my neglect in responding to all this wonderful support. I am new to the community, I have only just used the app in the past. I appreciate the repsonses and encouragement. Also I appreciate knowing that I am not alone. Its a daily struggle and fear that I have to constantly calm down. I will continue my…

Hi I am new to the group as well. My due date is July 16th.
