I thought you were still waiting for AF or a BFP. Are you planning ahead just in case?

oh no! you are definitely answering the questions I've had all my "dieting" life. So, don't be sorry. It seems really interesting that our metabolism would be lower when we weigh less. I had a comment to make on your 1200 calorie question. There are five different options you can pick when setting up your goals: lose 2 lbs…

did any of you try to have a specific gender for your baby, or use any of those baby predictors online? did they work? I've just been seeing a lot of articles about that lately, so just wondered if they actually work.

well I'm definitely not consistent and I don't have a food scale. But I try to visualize the smallest "cup" possible and pretty much modify everything so it is 1.5 times what I think it is. I should mention that I am vegeterian and eat a lot of veggies and lentils on a regular basis, but there are days when I have a hard…

sorry to hear that Mellie, maybe you should just go home and take a nap. I can't seem to take my eyes away from this place today, I can't even concentrate at work.

hmmm this is interesting. Well like you said an anorexic person is obviouly not building muscle, but it's strange that I would feel tighter in my regular clothes. according to MFP, I should be eating 1200 and according to your calculation I should be eating 1500. maybe this whole running and weight lifting thing isn't for…

So even after I start building muscle and my sleeves get tighter, I will still lose fat and the sleeves will eventually fit? I'm just trying to make sure I'm understanding. If that is the case, I guess that is my course to failure, because I usually panic and go back to my elliptical because I definitely don't want to look…

well I'm 25, 5'4", 125 on a good day, and I'm female. By "didn't work out very well" - I tried the Cto5k, and I was consistent, but I couldn't even get to step 2. I couldn't run for the 90 sec intervals, with the 60 sec break, I would feel like I couldn't catch my breath and toward the end I would just walk a little faster…

That's sad nicole, but good luck to you trying anyway. There is a secondary topic associated with this topic called Fit for Future Families, if you would be interested to join us there as well. A lot of us go back and forth between the two topics to soak up all the information available. Check it out, if you'd like.…

this is ready a great post! thank you very much! I've enjoyed reading all the input. However, I'm not sure where I fit into this. I'm not exactly lean, but I look it, which may be a blessing in disguise. But when I see people bigger than I am and more out of shape than I am(no offense meant to anyone), it really makes me…

Angela your uterus is 1000 times the original size. Holy cow! Great pictures! congratulations! good luck to you nicole Cali- maybe it's a really shy girl

welcome to all the new comers! This is a great place (if you haven't figured that out already). I see lhuffman moved on to the pregnancy site. I'm sure she'll be well taken care of. jalara - 5 days! I'm so excited for you. I'm so glad you are feeling better. I was weighing myself all weekend, but forgot to weigh and check…

Jalara, 9 days!!!!! I hope you put up lots of pictures.

Yeaaaa LHuffman! Atleast the wait was worth it! Take care of yourself. Are you super excited? Like jalara said, there is a Pregnancy topic related to this, most of us go back and forth, you'll find great support there with people in different stages. Jalara actually put out the July post, but here is August's, they change…

Hi Angela, I hope everything is ok. I remember when I had my first ever exam that I did spot for a few days. Could you be so tight that that may be the case? I hope you get it checked out soon, or that the spotting stops. Good luck!

LHuffman, UGH! that sucks! But, I hope they have the decency to call soon. I'm about to fly out there an demand an answer...where do you live? Jalara, I'm sorry you are in so much pain. Please take care of yourself only 10 days to go!!!!!! I agree with LHuffman, you should definitely listen to your body and do what you…

:laugh: that's crazy. Guess she didn't want to be "on time" and the baby didn't want to be early. Maybe the castor oil worked after all. Thanks for sharing.

man, I knew blood work takes some time to come back, but this is crazy. Going nuts here! I'm obviously not the only one. Tell them to hurry up LHuffman. my hubby and I aren't TTC yet, his sister is getting married around the end of the year, we are still trying to decide if I should be preggo for the wedding or wait until…

good luck lhuffman. I hope she's able to tell you something soon.

wow, go shoppingqueen!!! :flowerforyou:

ditto pmaria, I'm in TOM too, so I'll just wait until next week to weigh. I'd like to lose 2 or 3 lbs before labor day weekend, so I'm going to have to buckle down and get to it.

she must not know that that's the answer you actually want :wink: who knows, maybe you'll be seeing some test tubed blood tomorrow.

good luck to all the ladies with the missed periods! I hope you get a BFP in one test or another. The not-knowing makes everything so much more difficult. I'm scared to weigh in this week because of AF.

congratulations mwilson!!!! great news! shoppingqueen - 1 inch, keep it going. 21 days to go, like you didn't already know. angela - maybe it's time for that beer after all... if he is moving down that is. caliwaters - I know it isn't really going that fast, but seems like your ticker is moving along every time you post.…

wow! great job ladies! It's amazing how close you all are. I can feel the exciting by just knowing you for a few months, so I'm sure you are all very excited as well. I second tahmed, you are all great inspiration to us still TTC. I hope you continue to check in after the baby arrives, can't wait to see pictures of the…

wow, have I really been gone that long...it seems like a lots happened, since I last checked in. It's great to hear everyone's progress and new goals. I'm sorry for all the AF floating around. I hope everyone feels better for the weekend coming up. Alphabet dating eh? Where do I sign up? That sounds like a great idea. Have…

hey jalara, I was just wondering since it's the end of the month, will we make this topic monthly too like the pregnancy topic?

whew! it's good to see you people talking again, I thought everyone went into labor. shoppingqueen - you are in the last box. woooohooooooo!:drinker: I'm partying for you since you can't! :flowerforyou: angela's been strangely quiet for a few days, I hope everything is ok. auttyfrmca - you should definitely say something.…

Uh-oh, almost 24 hours with no new posts, is everyone doing ok? Did you all go into labor at once?

jalara - Of course I don't mind, thank you for your input. I'm really sorry about your MCs. Can't they find the position of the uterus on our yearly checkups? I guess not if they don't do a ultra sound right? 24 days til the wedding!!! how do you feel? Good Job Want2Lose, I usually don't drink soda unless I'm eating cheese…
