  • :happy: Good luck with your journey ... !!! Starting all over again here! Been there ... done that lol
  • Greetings Cherry :smile: Not to worry darlin' you didn't gain THAT much weight! You CAN and you WILL lose it. Don't lose it because you're ashamed to go back to work, just do it for your baby and for YOU! You will feel so much better when you do. I gained nearly 120 lbs with my first child (started at 120!!!) and have…

  • Yes, they can lead to bone spurs and renal calculi (kidney stones) but don't just take ONE doc's word for it! I encourage my patient's to seek knowledge from legitimate sources ... and to read or listen to more than just one source!
  • Hey there .,.. don't give up lady! You're doing wonderfully! 11 lbs! Then you gained two ... have you considered that because it's 'that week' you would have a natural body water gain?

  • Hi Sindy :) You can add me ... in fact, I just started as well and we could stay connected. I'm a Mom of 2 but they're all grown up now. Still, I need to lose this pregnancy weight LOL Peace!
  • Alcohol calories are not the same as food ... alcohol calories have absolutely no nutritional value. They are called 'empty' calories. Better to eat veggies, lean proteins (beans, legumes, etc) and fresh fruits. Try it just for one month with no alchohol if you can, and you'll lose extra pounds ... believe me :) Good luck!…
  • It's wonderful that you have not only taken on a new relationship but the children as well. My step dad was awesome growing up and he always treated all seven of us like we were his own. He used to say: "There are no 'steps' in my family. You are ALL my children." That included his own three kids ... together there were 10…

  • Hi Mrsmojo: Try not to be too hard on yourself! While 23 lbs in 4 days is astronomical, it's not unheard of! I can gain that much just LOOKING at decadent foods ... well, not REALLY, but pretty close. Try not to beat yourself up and just climb right back into the driver's seat! Only YOU are responsible for what you put…
  • I can tell you, as a registered nurse among other things :laugh: that just prior to starting your period and during until about 2-5 days after it ends you may be 2-7 lbs higher than normal due to fluid retention. You can feel more bloated and just plain "UGH" for lack of a better term :) But all will be well in the end…
  • :bigsmile: Greetings Newbie and Welcome :) I'm also a tad new here but am happy to 'meet' you! Let's connect and get started supporting each other! Kathi
