  • Hi all, This is my first pregnancy! I've been slowly increasing my kcals as I get hungrier. I'm about 31 weeks and have gained 20 lbs (5'2", 104-108 PP). I've been trying to do prenatal yoga or pilates on most days of the week and was walking 30-45 min a day until this recent heat wave. Feel free to add me. ;)

  • This is my first pregnancy - I'm 5'2" and was 108lbs prepregnancy (a bit above my usually 104 "fit weight"). I'm 24 weeks and 118lbs, but I gained most of that 10 lbs in the first trimester eating what I normally ate but not exercising at all (d/t sleepiness and mild nausea) and since then my weight gain has plateaued.…

I have an allergy to dairy (different from lactose intolerance) and pretty sure that's the reason. I switched to vegan Raw Protein (Cacao). No vomiting and it's pretty good. Also like the…
  • OP you read my mind. I had thinner legs when I was at about 96-98 lbs (as a teen) but so far I haven't been able to get back to under 100 lbs. I'm 5' 1.75" and hovering at 102-103, pear shaped with thick calves and thighs. I've resolved to stick with strength training and measure percent body fat once a month with the hope…
  • Stopped wearing mine in the past because of this but now wearing it to see if it is at least overestimating consistently.

  • I'm 5' 1.75" 30% body fat by dexa (all lower body), CBW 110 IBW 98. I set my goal at 1200 but when I look at the calorie calculator based on percent body fat my calorie need for weight loss is about 1050. I'm just getting started, so we'll see how I do with 1150-1200 kcal/day. I'm not hungry or cranky yet, so I'd prefer to…
