Thank you! I didn't work out with my previous pregnancies and I wish I would have.

39 weeks pregnant

Msstatz. I'm not due until 4/14 but I have been tracking during my pregnancy.

I'm due the middle of April so we are pretty close.

I added you.

Steel cut oats in the crockpot every morning here. Really filling and yummy.

I thought I would introduce myself. I am pregnant with number six and I have children ages 12, 9, 8, 5 and 21 months. I am due mid April and I would like to keeping unnecessary pregnancy weight gain to a minimum. I workout every day. I run or do stairs with hand weights alternated with body resistance/core/resistance…

I'll add you!

I can't add you. It says your account is deactivated.

I added you as a friend too. I would love to hear about your eating habits and workouts.

I'm almost 24 weeks here with #6. I would love more pregnant friends to help keep me motivated. I'll add both of you.

Yes. Always.

Congrats on your pregnancy! I am currently 21.5 weeks pregnant with #6 and I too am trying to minimize unnecessary weight gain and be healthier overall. I will add you as a friend

So far I haven't run into any trouble. I'm 20 weeks but my belly isn't very big. I make sure not to strain or hold my breath. Congrats and good luck on maintaining a healthy pregnancy!

I always work out before my kids are up. My alarm is set for 450 7 days a week. Would getting up early be an option?

I don't have a stair machine but I walk the stairs and a t is a great workout for me at 19 weeks pregnant.

For those of you that do circuit training and burn 500+, what is your height/weight? I am 18 weeks pregnant and have been doing 50 minute workouts with 5 min of walking stairs with 5-8lb hand weights alternated with free weights and body weight exercises (weighted squats, tricep dips, etc). My HRM says that I burn about…

Thanks! I am comfortable gaining weight. I just don't want to put on any more weight than necessary. With my other babies, I gained up to 40lbs due to simple overindulging on whatever I felt like. I did lose the weight quickly after birth but I would like to try to stay in shape this pregnancy. I just feel better about…

Thanks for your response!

Hmmm... Ok. That is kinda what I was thinking too. I only lifted for about 3-4 minutes at a time so my heart rate did stay up the whole time but it still seems a little high to me. Thanks for replying.

After the baby, I will start walking immediately. I will start insanity or the new insanity 6 weeks postpartum. How about you?

You look great! Keep up the hard work! Foxgl0ve-when is your due dat? Mine is april 14.

I'm 17 weeks and have just recently gotten back to eating healthy and working out.

My husband is the same way. Do you log food and exercise? What guidelines are you following while working out? I'm basically just making sure I don't get too tired or out of breath. Are you keeping your heart rate under 140? I have recently read that the 140 guideline is no longer followed.

I would like to start a facebook group to share stories and motivation with other mamas if anyone is interested.

I'm ready to start. I will take my measurements tomorrow morning. Here we go!

Mine came in the mail yesterday!

I can't seem to find the group. I am starting PiYo on the 7th and would love to join!

I am almost done with it. Halfway through, I lost 11 inches and 12.2lbs. I started at 135lbs. I do not miss workouts ever and I am very strict with eating healthy during the week (I'm a little more lenient on the weekend). Insanity works if you are willing to put forth the time and effort.

Thanks for your advice. I found an app called JEFIT that I think I am going to start out with and see how it goes. Thanks again!
