Such cute bumps! Here's a picture of my little bub at 12 weeks and a bit:

I feel you with the worry of miscarriage! Every time I'd get a little ache I would worry, but there's nothing to do about it but wait unfortunately. My mother-in-law (who works in the medical field) keeps telling me that as long as I feel ok, the baby is ok. Now I'm sure that's not true in every case but overall it makes…

I'm sporadically going to the Y still and using either the treadmill or elliptical for 30 mins. I also did two strength workouts which I liked but I'm finding that I'm short on time and energy. I've also been going for walks with my dogs or the husband but it's been too hot this week to do much. How do you ladies motivate…

I'm 12 weeks 5 days and gained 1.5 pounds (I think, I'll get the official number at my doctor's appointment in 2 weeks). I'm hoping to gain at a reasonable rate, hopefully on the smaller end of the 25-35 lb range but we'll see!

Hello ladies!! Thanks for starting this group, what a great idea. I'm due Jan 28th but I have a sneaking suspicion that baby will be a bit late and come in February. This is my first time so I really don't know what to expect and would love any and all advice from those who are already mommies! I was in a good place weight…

Odiliawine--I can't believe you still work 60 hours a week! I work a lot too but it's from home and relatively comfy so I can't imagine having to be out in the real world with morning sickness and all the glory of early pregnancy to deal with. I am slowly going to the gym but there's an emphasis on slowly. For the most…

Sounds like a great plan! :) Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Congrats! What a lovely name, glad you have a new love :)

Hello ladies! I'm a first time momma due on Jan. 28th. I don't think I'm showing yet so much as looking chubbier than usual. At 5'1.5 it doesn't take much to look chubby! We've had our first ultrasound already (i had an ectopic in the past so the doc wanted to make sure everything as where it should be) and we got to hear…

ldrosophila: Yay! I've been reading some of your different posts, and I'm so glad to hear your little one is healthy (and sticky!) :)

Thanks ladies! First off the peppermint tea has helped a lot (my pants actually fit better since I started drinking it so that's a good sign!). I'm short too at 5'2 so there just isn't anywhere for the extra stuff to go. I also like the empire waist sundress idea :) Might as well flaunt that baby belly while you have it!

Hi! I don't have a CLC but I have had an ectopic pregnancy and in my personal experience it was very very painful. It was like menstrual cramps x100 and concentrated on one side. I also bled, like a period but much more clotted. When is your ultrasound? We're waiting on ours (this Monday!) and until then I'm worrying about…

That's awesome! I find it really hard to stay the course when travelling. And yes skirts are usually good (especially for shorties like me because you generally don't need to shorten them). Congrats!

I would suggest sticking to just weekends as a start. Drinking things with less calories too is a good plan. I'm a big fan of dry red wine or gin with club soda and lime. As for not being a light weight, you might find that if you "practice" less then you'll notice the effects sooner when you do. Finally, I'm a grad…

QUOTE: QUOTE: Hey guys....I am 5 2" & currently ight 137. My goal is 125 ish...but i want to maintain lots of muscle...would love to meet someone (or several people for suport)!! 5' 2", 146 and looking for 125! I'm older than you but will send FR anyway! Pretty close to the both of you!! I'll take a couple of twins! Age:…

Are you willing to move? I know there are often jobs available in 'less desirable cities' (read: North!). Also network as much as possible! Do you know anyone who has a job in a hospital/medical agency? If so talk to them about looking for a job, if they can introduce you to any of their contacts, if they've heard about…

Your bum definitely got smaller! :) You're rocking this, keep it up!

Hope you feel better soon! Doesn't it seem like you only get sick when you have plans? Not that anyone plans to get sick... :wink: I'm feeling a little grumpy, I haven't gained but I stayed the same this week. Stupid TOM. I know it could be worse and that next week will probably show my work but still! Doesn't exactly make…

double post, sorry!

Heheehee my Pom pup does the same thing. Tries to lick my face while in the down position of crunches and generally bugs the crap out of me when I'm at his level (read: on the floor). On a different note, I think I'm going into hibernatin mode with all the cool weather. I NEED to make sure I get out/exercise every work…

Hello lovely ladies! I'd be into an exercise challenge.I, more or less, have the eating down but I need to move my butt more! :) Hope everyone is having a good day!

Thanks for this! :)

Hey ladies! I'm a long time lurker, first time poster ;) I'm 5'2 and trying to lose the last 11ish pounds. I was at high as 147 my first year of uni (Freshman 15 my *kitten*, more like 25!). Anywho, I'm sure you all feel my pain in trying to lose what seems like such a small amount of weight to some and yet it makes such a…

You look amazing! All the hardwork certainly paid off!!

Hey all! SW: 129 Sept GW: 119

Hi all! I'm Melissa, a 27yo grad student who's working from home this year on my thesis. I have a tough 11 lbs to lose and I'm hoping this challenge will help. I'm doing C25k at the same time so let's hope everything works together. I can't wait to get started!

Hi! This sounds great, if anyone has a room on a team let me know please!

Wow! You're gorgeous already!! I'm not sure where you'll lost the last 10 from ;)
