I also just read your stretch mark comment.......ummmm I know girls who are 21 years old, super fit, and have stretch marks......so genetics have ALOT to do with it.

Totally agree about the not "eating for two" part. I didn't start putting on weight until I was 5 months in. I wore my normal pants until almost 7.5 months in. But once I got to that 3rd Tri it was like my body litterally held on to every ounce of food I put in my mouth. I didn't eat that horribly, and I tried to be aware…

Plus just try to be patient. 2 lbs in 2 weeks is healthy and normal. The first couple weeks can be hard because your body doesn't know what is going on. Once its used to the changes and your metabolism speeds up then it will get better. Atleast thats my experience :)

I like to add lemon to mine, gives it extra flavor. I usually drink about 10 8 oz glasses a day. It will make you feel so much better to drink lots of water!

Def. not eating enough. You need those 1200 atleast just for your body to function. You also need to eat breakfast! If you are skipping meals and not getting enough calories then your metabolisim is going to slow down and your body will hold on to everything you put in it because it thinks its starving. Just try to eat…

Nice job! You carry your weight extremely well! You look alot thinner than you say you are! Congrats, that is so exciting for you :)

Everyone carries weight differently. I wouldn't use those pictures as reference. Just double check your calculations. :) Personally I think 28% looks about right.

hmmm Ok thanks! My husband takes the Jack3d and we sold it at the gym I worked at. I think I will just stick to the old fashioned way :)

Yes I feel so gross on my rest day! I always have the urge to go to the gym but I convince myself that my body needs that one day a week to rest up :)

Excellent!! You look great, and what is even better is that you have noticed changes not only on the outside but on the inside! Im excited for you to reach your goal weight! You can do it :)

I prefer to do a 10 min cardio warm up, then go and do weights because I have more strength and energy - that way I have good form and I can put more effort into it, and then go and do my cardio work out.

1 whole egg + 2 egg whites & some baby leaf spinach...pepper...maybe some cheese if I feel like it...scrambled ...mmmmmmm

Lots of people have a hard time drinking their 8 glasses of water because they "don't lke the way it tastes"....personally I love water...but to make it even better I add lemon slices to a large pitcher of water. It gives it a little flavor and it helps cleanse the body : )

Thanks guys, I will do that! I guess I should have mentioned that I am on a Marine Corps base and I used to work at the gym as well so I am familiar with the machines :) But starting Monday I'm just gonna walk in there and not give a crap :)

I think it was on Dr. Oz or something where I saw if you have this problem you should buy a sports bra that is a size smaller than you usually would buy. So Im a 38 DD and I used to buy them in XL because it was more comfortable. So recently I went and bought a size L in a nike bra...and let me tell you it has made a world…

Way to go!!!
