I am sure mine is bloat too...it's a bit ridiculous, isn't it! I am not on prog supplements or anything of the sort. Just prenatals. My friend's bump fizzled when she stopped her prog, so there is hope for you there. I don't think mine is going down anytime soon. I at least know it isn't true weight gain as I have only…

I really AM big! 9 weeks and som change right now, but I was in maternity pants at 5 weeks. I look like 2nd tri!!!! We thought we were having twins, but there is just one...I just happen to be huge. It's actually kinda fun though...I love the cute clothes!

I have had people say I look closer to 20w...eek. I think I am going to be a big mama lol

Anyone have a bump yet? I am huge for 9w! I have been in maternity clothes since 5 or 6w. Is that crazy or what?!

That's my EDD as well!!! We just got to see our little one today on u/s! :happy: Cindy, I am so so sorry for your loss :frown:

Glad to have you! So sorry about your loss. I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy this time around!

How is everyone doing? I am about 6/7 weeks...and EXHAUSTED. I feel like sleeping all the time. Other than that, not much nausea, really. Already in maternity pants because I am retaining water like crazy! How insane is that?!

It's ok to keep exercising...just don't do anything more strenuous than you were doing before you were pregnant. Listen to your body, rest when you're tired, drink when you're thirsty, eat when you're hungry, and slow down if you get dizzy/nauseated. If you start spotting, call your doctor. Just remember to keep your body…

That's my EDD right now...may change after my first U/S :happy:

Hey ladies! I am new to this group. Hubby and I just found out yesterday we are expecting baby #1 in January 2014! We are so excited and we feel so blessed. We struggled to conceive for 21 months...and we're finally pregnant! I am already feeling some changes...can't wait to meet our Little Roo!

Thanks! I appreciate it! I should know better as I am in the medical field...:tongue:

Hey everyone! I was a part of these boards a long time ago (over a year I think) and I decided to come back :smile: My name is Mandy. I'm 27 years old, married 4 years, no kids yet (unless you count my furbabies), and trying to lose weight (duh, right?). I'm 5'5" and 197.6lbs. My highest weight was 201 earlier this year.…

God bless you for your efforts. I'm in health care, but I am also a volunteer firefighter and EMT, so working holidays is a necessity for me. I chose to be in this profession, so I try not to complain, but it does suck having to work. I wish there were more people like you who knew and appreciated what the police, fire,…

OP: Think if I get rid of all my too-small clothes that I will suddenly lose weight? If so, I may chuck them LOL!

I am always inspired when I see someone with about the same height/weight as me do so well! Thank you for posting! You look great! :happy:

Awww shucks...thanks! You look great...props on the awesome transformation! you should be beating the ladies off with a stick! And thank you to the OP! You're a hottie yourself! I love this thread LOL!

ME ME ME! I can't lie...Props to the OP for calling us all out lol! :smile:

I like guns. I like mudding drywall. I have a sailor's mouth (working on that problem). I don't do heels. My favorite shoes are my Adidas tennis shoes and my DC board shoes. Weddings, funerals, and the occasional "girly" day are the only times you'll see me in a dress. That adds up to maybe 5 or 6 times a year. Makeup is…

Coughed so hard I threw up...stupid chest congestion.

I'm 27 years old, 5'5", and 197lbs. My husband is about 5'8" and 165-170lbs...lean mean muscle machine. I was about 135lbs when we met 10 years ago, but have had some health issues and now my doctor thinks my thyroid is failing. My husband has never cared about my weight, really. He would encourage me when he noticed I was…

Hey Amy! We missed you!

I'm 5'5" Goal 1:170 Goal 2:150 Goal 3:135-140

Yeah, where in the world is the 228? You look amazing!

I'm up for another month, too!

2.5 miles done...97.5 to go!

Me too!

I am 5'5" and trying to lose 55 to 60lbs. I let myself go after my first 2 years of college and wish I hadn't! I'm at 193lbs (highest was 195, but I gained a lot from when I started MFP) right now...and I was a curvy 135-140 in college. I hope to get back to 140 or a size 9/10. I refuse to lose my curves...and I don't…

Starting over again :smile: Start Weight 195.0 Week 1 194.0 (-1)

Ok on cals today...need to focus on the BALANCE of the macronutrients though. Not sure what my points are...haven't calculated in a long time.

I'm slowly building back up to running. I have suffered a few injuries to my back and hip so it's been a long (3 years) process for me. I'm hoping to finally get going so that I can run a few races this year. Until then, I am focusing on my diet :-)
