Hi there. Hoping I can join you. The weight just packs right on for me in the sick, carb eating first trimester. Hoping to slow it down now. Height: 5'8" Age: 40 8th pregnancy, 6th baby (second tubal reversal baby!) Goal to Gain: 30 pounds SW:185 Week 16: 202 Week 17:204 Week 18: 204 (maintain!)

I started out a bit above my goal weight. I set mfp to maintain. I adjusted my goals to a higher amount of protein to get the 80-100 grams a day I want to have. If you search pregnancy in the food section you will find a calorie adjustment for different trimesters. I add the second trimester each day. I hope that gives you…

Story of my pregnancy life! I am going to be 19 weeks on Thursday and I have gained 20 pounds already. Same reason, the only thing that made me feel less sick was eating. The only thing that I wanted to eat was junky carbs. Then I started to have low blood sugar issues a couple weeks ago so again I had to constantly shovel…

I am 37 and when people heard I was wanting a tubal reversal I heard all kinds of bad stuff about my age. I was too "old" to have another child. I was going to end up with a child with a disability. I was never going to survive pregnancy because it was going to be so much worse than when I had my others in my early 20's.…

I am 36 :) You are my favorite person on Earth right now.

Chubaway, if that was for me I love you!

I had lost about 70 pounds. It made me more energetic and I had fewer headaches. 20 pounds have creeped back on. The headaches are returning and I am often tired. A lot of my clothes are not fitting. The last straw was last night. (If I have family on here stop reading or you will need eye bleach). I had to cry because I…

Hi everyone. I just picked up RI30 last night. I got it because I thought the 20 minute work out seemed a little less intimidating to me than longer ones. I figure that I can do anything for 20 minutes. I am a 36 year old mother of 4, my youngest is 10. I work as a librarian and do bits of things at home to make some extra…

I am hoping I can go find a copy of Ripped tonight!

The white yam is ok, it is just a variety of sweet potato. Some primal/paleo folks will eat white potatoes occasionally but tend to avoid them because of the blood sugar effects. A lot of people say if you have a lot of weight to lose you should avoid them. I personally eat them on occasion. I think it is better to eat a…

Thank you! I changed it up a little. :)

Stupid question...I can't figure out how to change macros. Can anyone explain where to do it?

I would love more paleo/primal type friends. I try and eat a more traditional foods diet leaning toward primal. I am failing miserably right now. Knowing that I have folks who eat this way looking at my diary might make me think twice before downing that bread or cinnamon bun!

FYI smoothies are made with a blender not a juicer. Either are good for getting raw nutrients into your body. Smoothies give you the fiber and juice does not. If you want to do some juices look for totally raw christina on youtube, she has some good combos. Smoothie ideas can be found all over the net!
