I say this is an issue for you and your doctor alone. Really, we are not doctors here- and even if we say we are, its' the internet and I wouldn't trust us LOL Anyways, your doctor is the one who knows you and will be following you throughout your pregnancy so they're the one to ask about such thing. Congrats on the baby…

Welcome! Be sure and check out the app for your phone! Being able to log your food using a barcode scanner totally saved me from giving up. I'm lazy, obviously (hence being overweight) and typing in calories was getting annoying. Now I just *beep* my way through my day! Just about everything has a barcode and it encourages…

AMEN. Totally with you on this one, girl.

I couldn't even if I tried... during my period I'm damn near bedridden! But only because I have a fribroid the size of a mandarin orange on my uterus that has a hissy fit once a month during my period. Agonizing pain. But before the fibroid was a problem, I used to exercise lighter than usual but still made an effort. I…

A boiled egg here and there really helped me with mine! Also TUNA! It's SO high in protein and pretty reasonable on the calories. 2 times a week I like to throw a can onto some salad with some low fat cucumber dressing (or Fat Free Italian tastes great too) and some fresh veggies with a bit of shredded mozzerella on top!

for me its definitely 1. can't push myself in my wheelchair easily/wheelchair breaks often due to my weight 2. look like a stranger in the mirror (spent most of my life 100lbs lighter than now) 3. having a bad hair day or not having time to do my makeup makes me look and feel more inferior than I ever used to. 4. my…

cassius is totally right! Remember your goal is your own and do this for you! Keep at it! We can all do this.

I can't imagine hurting the self esteem of the person I love, and I can't imagine the person I love insulting me in such a way. You deserve someone who can uplift you and encourage you to follow your own heart and goals. Not someone who shames you :( My husband tells me I am beautiful and sexy and adorable and that I'm the…

As someone who needs to lose over 100 lbs myself you are certainly an inspiration! Way to go! And thank you so much for the encouragement. It's much appreciated. Candy

Hi there! Another tall girl here :) I'm also 5'10 :) I feel like I'm shrinking though since I sit in a wheelchair all day. It's a strange sensation spending 22 years of my life standing taller than most and now I look up at the world LOL But anyways, I love my phone app too. It's so much easier to remember to log in and…

A Honeymoon! :D We got married this past fall and there was no way I was gonna parade around on a beach when I'm 120lbs overweight. So I talked it over with my man and we decided we'll do it for our 2 year anniversary instead. That gives me until sept 2014 to get as sexy as possible! Hawaii in a bikini sounds much more fun…

Hi Karen! I got my Bodymedia Fit (the one with Bluetooth?) exactly 7 days ago and I'm down 10.5 lbs already. I literally just did my weigh in moments ago and I was shocked! I forced myself to stay off the scale for a whole week to be sure I could really see some results. And wow. It really helps to see the math and know…
