Minnesotamama- I kept up with ab workouts till I was maybe 18 weeks? I didn't really get that big though, but I worked out my obliques with weights, leg raises, but I didn't concentrate much on it. I figured that my running kinda sorta keeps my core worked out? I really don't know lol. 911girl - I read Battle hymn of the…

Just checking in.. There are so many people to keep up with now! LOL. 3rd trimester!!! I can't help but start to get nervous... I mean my 32 week appt is July 16, and the four weeks in between usually goes by fast.. then of course there are a lot of people who have their babies late premature so really... anytime after 32…

bump

quick insert - smilegirl, mid 70s? It has been around 100 here, today my thermometer read 117!!

I feel so out of place I really need to move and get settled in to our new city so I have more time to keep up with everything- logging, working out and keeping up with y'all!!! Name: Lexi Age: 22 Occupation: Took a semester off, senior year of college getting my BSN Dream Job: Honestly? I want to travel to 3rd world…

HIIII GUYSSS (waveeeee) Just checking in. Been so busy with my 3 week maymester and hubby being home (although I spend about 5 hrs every night doing homework, but it is okay because he is just over there watching the playoffs while I do my work, although I am kinda upset I can't properly watch the game because of all this…

Soooo... let me get this straight.. No working out and no dieting wanted, so they sew a patch on their tongue? Yea, next thing you know they will be putting that steak in the blender... then what? :sick:

that is really selfish of him and very insecure... I am sorry. My husband is very supportive. I had to lose weight, and he wanted to gain weight (he was so skinny- 136 and 6'1 when he joined the army). I was 200 lbs and 5'8.... Fast forward to 3 years later, he goes to the gym and lifts weights/does cardio for 2 hours ON…

There are a few people on MFP that successfully diet and lose weight with PCOS. I am not one of them,but I know some on my list are and one is even pregnant and in GREAT shape... I hope you connect with a few soon. It is not impossible, so have a positive attitude about it because if you stay frustrated or think it is a…

Hi belly buddies!!!! My husband has been in the states (hence my decreased online time) but I don't get to see him till this friday because he is doing reintegration in Tennessee. I start Maymester today. I didn't end up with my 4.0 but I did end up on the deans list. All these people with A's in pediatrics ended up…

bump to save

I didn't add any my first trimester-just put it on maintain weight. Second - I put it on gain 1/2 lb a week to add approx 200 cals third- I will prob add 1lb a week or something, since I will need about 300 more calories

Because some count it by gestational age, and some count it from date of conception, so give or take two weeks. If you count it from gestational age, it will be 14 weeks, but if you count it from conception, it will be 12 weeks And this is why I don't like that what to expect when you're expecting book/app. That book is…

Do you watch your sodium? You can also hold on to more water if you have a high sodium diet. Dieting and eating healthy is not just about watching calories :) It helped me! "not eating your exercise calories" has got to be the worst thing to tell somebody who is trying to lose weight. That's like if I am trying to maintain…

Nikster- Girl EVERYONE told me to stop running while pregnant. I even put up a blog about it because I wanted to avoid slapping them. I have gotten "you will give your baby shaken baby syndrome" - HUHHH??? lol okay. So while they can gain 70 lbs while pregnant, I will stick to my 25 lbs, thank you very much. My healthy…

Don't fret!!! :) Drs put me on uhh.. no exercising/getting your heartrate up precautions while they tested my kidneys (and etc), because when I was overweight, I developed hypertension, had to take meds. My BP was really bad that they wanted to see if there was any damage that would predispose me to preeclampsia because if…

GO SPURS GO... and.. YAY TEXAS lol And I read your blog earlier. Haha. I agree. That is all. I am the same way with people- mom, friends.. if you do not want to put in the work, you will not see results. point. blank. I worked on running long distance by myself, no MFP, no running buddy.. Just me. It is possible, and I…

Oh stretch marks. I know they said you can't prevent it but I am a believer in non scratching (silly maybe - but hear me out lol) When I gained a LOT of weight, I did NOT have stretchmarks until ONE day, my tummy was SO itchy, and i scratched the hell out of it. My scratches left red marks. I didn't mind them, figured they…

Welcomeeeee OUR GROUP IS GETTING BIGGER :) Heartrate is no longer limited at 140- the ACOG took back that warning in 1994. My docs advise me to keep running as long as I can, and no sprints. Workouts shouldn't leave me breathless. Basic stuff. I was just dropping in to say hey :) I will catch up with yall another time as I…

Haahahhahahaha so... My husband was 6'1 and 140 lbs... and I mean I was skinny when we first started dating, then I gained weight... was 5'8 and 196 lbs.... :noway: Then I decided to hit the gym hard and start running, and he started hitting the gym hard too (army) so thennn TADAAA I (was) 160 (I am pregnant now so I…

Go BELLA BANDS!!! right now I really don't NEED to buy maternity pants, but I figure I might as well. Still rocking my cute jeans/shorts with the band. Only thing I needed were tops since my regular tops are riding up... (bigger boobs and bigger tummy?) lol :) Ohhh man I really need to get away from baby center it's making…

911girl- you better get that nap time in while you can LOL :) melissa - thanks :) I can't believe it is still cold in some parts of America. lol IT IS APRIL. It has been hovering around 85-95 here in TX Heather - CHARLOTTE!!! HOW PRECIOUSSSS :) and those weekends are awesome. I have gotten so used to him being away that I…

Pretty sure I have probably gained 10 lbs at this point. I have been fluctuating +8 lbs but today I feel heavy and nasty. I am now 19 weeks and some days, and my stomach is starting to pop out. BELLA BANDS ARE WONDERFUL!!!! getting to the point where my zipper doesn't go up, but I also wore a size 5/6 so there wasn't that…

Give or take 1 mile - 100 cals no matter what speed @ normal weight. Prob a little more if you have more muscle or are heavier.

I feel horrible and guilty. I accidentally took a Claritin D instead of regular claritin.. Hopefully one pill won't hurt. I am also getting to that point where I feel so bad if I am getting a good sweat.. I feel bad that I am hurting the baby (although I know I am probably not, I am just paranoid) I have this thing now too…

They never gave me a diagnosis, but they did check for PCOS and my ovaries did not have cysts. That's what I thought at first too.

carbs, fats and protein are calculated as an ideal percentage of the total calories you take in :)

Carbs are bad if you don't exercise- But if you do, eat them! I try to eat as much carbs as possible since I run a lot. I can tell the difference in how I feel if I carb load and if I don't on a long run. Carbs are my friend. lol

I want to be fit, and lean. I dont know what they mean by curvy, but I am in a size 6, would like to end up in a 4/5, and would like to keep my chest. lol. I want to have visible cuts on my biceps, triceps, back etc... but I don't want people to see my ribs lol. So I guess not stick thin, just very lean -- kinda like the…

I am the same way. Except for me its the first 2 miles. After those two miles are done, the long run is a breeze
