WOW! You look great!!

I would also let them know that you feel better when you are able to go on a walk or get some exercise; I am certain they can accommodate that, as it is a really reasonable request! Also, I am sure it is water and/or a different scale than you usually use!

Hi! I am very similar to you and your wife; we both work and are about to have a baby, both pack lunch each day. Here's what works for us: My husband eats a PBJ EVERY DAY (seriously) along with a homemade bag of trail mix, a protein bar of some sort an apple and chips. He makes and freezes all sandwiches on Sunday in…

23 weeks, 20 lbs up (began slightly underweight) aiming to gain around 35-40. Logging faithfully, working out regularly...but my body seems to want to store fat! Anyone is free to friend me. :)

Here are some ideas: Jillian Michaels 30 day shred (using weights that feel right to you; I go between 3-15 lbs) Jillian Michaels RIpped in 30 (again, weights that are right) Jillian Michaels No More trouble zones (all strenght) and/or Banish Fat Boost Metabolism (cardio, lots of plyometrics) Have fun!!

I kept it as is first trimester; I did it a few times (I had been doing it as part of a larger routine for awhile). I think you should go with your feelings throughout; the jumping may become a bit much as time goes on. Of course, ask your doc, too! Good luck! PS:

I have done this plenty of times, to no lasting harm. But, I will say that you will be hungry later...you will want something "real" and may end up overeating. i would probably just have both and not stress it too much.

And also because you aren't eating enough.

I am a vegetarian, but wanted to give salmon an effort...totally grossed out. I have managed to add hard boiled egg whites, though!

Since the weather is bad, I do Leslie Sansone "walks" at home for about 45 minutes a day (3 or so miles) holding 3 lb weights the whole time. I also do the standing sections of Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones 2-3 days a week (about 25 minutes) for strength maintenance. I am 18 weeks now and still feel good, but…

It's ok to do ab work; you should just google some safe exercises for expectant women and be sure you are using good form and feeling comfortable. Regarding being on your back: your uterus can push against a major artery, which can restrict blood and oxygen loss to both you and your baby. A few minutes here and there is…

Does the time on your phone match the time on your fitbit? I had this issue once, with my computer. The time on my computer was wrong and, as a result, I got WILD calorie counts.

Congratulations on a what sounds like a super healthy pregnancy! You sound like you are doing so many great things for you and your baby! One thing that my doctor and nurses keep telling me (which is on repeat in my head all day long, as I am 16 weeks pregnant and up 10 pounds...yikes) is that it takes 9 months to make…

I have done both (NMTZ and BFBM) and loved them; they actually work GREAT in tandem with each other. NMTZ is strenght but you will be working it! I used a combo of 5 and 8 lb weights with an occasional 3lb weight thrown in (hello, Surrenders!) My burn was usually 200 calories, but this isn't a step based workout. You will…

breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal (150) 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (30) half a banana (40) 1/2 cup of greek yogurt (60) Microwave for 3-4 minutes. YUM. Snacks: 100 calorie wrap and light laughing cow (125) greek yogurt-yoplait light string cheese and an apple

http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-baked-tofu-74358 This is a handly little resource for what I think is the easiest and yummiest way to cook tofu! There are times when i don't press it and just throw some soy sauce on there and bake it. Turns out yummy!

Fabulous! You look great and seem so happy-congratulations! Truly awesome!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! You should speak to your doctor; every woman is different. I am 5' 8" , 135 lbs and was told to gain between 25-30 pounds and to be sure I am eating at maintenance. I use my fitbit and consistent logging to make sure I am doing this. I am 12 weeks and have gained 6lbs, which I think is…

Yes, open your diary, get a fitbit and see your doctor.

At least 8, in the winter around 9. Sleep is not a luxury; it's a priority. Of course, I am pregnant and know this will change dramatically very soon. :)

You may not need to gain 25-35 lbs. You should talk more in-depth to your doctor about your diet and fitness, but he or she will likely tell you that you can gain less than that. I am 5'8 and 135 lbs; my doctor told me I should aim to gain between 25-30 lbs. I am not sure your height and weight, but you may need to gain…

I am 12 weeks and have spent the last 6 going a **little wild** at the holiday parties and festivities. I am super ready to use my renewed energy to get regain some strength and fitness (I have walked every day, but no weights or resistance work-too tired! My doctor gave me the go-ahead and I am ready!) and make healthy…

Anyone can add me! I am not looking to lose (I am pregnant) but I log faithfully each day and exercise each day, too! Cheers!

I would just start planning things to do, ask him to join you and, if he says no, still do them! Honestly, I think it would take one night of you going out and having fun without him (a movie and dinner with a friend?) for him to want to go out with you again.

WOWOWOWOW!! Congratulations and keep up the awesome work. I love how you have a goal for 2014-The Year of Fitness. You will be so happy as you continue to grow stronger and more confident. Congratulations to you; you should feel SO PROUD!

plain greek yogurt with splenda and fruit, 100 calorie flax wrap with a babybel and arugula, string cheese and an apple, microwave a chopped apple for 4 minutes and top with plain greek yogurt and cinnamon and a little oatmeal, sandwich slim with a tbs of almond butter...all under or around 200 calories.

Good snack ideas under 250, high in protein: apple and greek yogurt, babybel light and flax wrap with some arugula, string cheese and apple, plain greek yogurt with cinnamon, almond meal and raisins, 70 calorie Boca burger on a sandwich slim with arugula. And yes, lotsa water!

I log each day-not looking to lose, as I am pregnant, but I am committed to a healthy lifestyle! Feel free to add me.

Totally agreed; 30DS is a great started workout, but Ripped in 30 is better. I lost weight doing these dvd's (I was eating at a deficit) and got significantly stronger and lost inches, too. I also try to do No More Trouble Zones (strictly strength training) and Banish Fat (cardio, loads of plyometrics) once a week, each.…

Hi! I am due in July--9 weeks right now. I have been doing Leslie Sansone DVD's 4-5 days a week between 15-45 minutes (1-4 miles). I do them with 3 lb weights throughout. I am tired, but even one mile energizes me and helps me sleep better. I am logging each day, everything; anyone can feel free to friend me. Happy to…
