Hello all! I'm going to be 50 next July and have been hovering between 209 and 205 lbs for the last 10 years. Looking to take it off once and for all and gain the strength and endurance I have been wanting for sooo long! I have recently taken up backpacking and started it off with the West Coast Trail so not afraid to work…

Getting back on track here as well! Part of my plan to stay motivated is to introduce something new or challenge myself on a weekly bases. I have my calender ready for the next 6 months but will add to it as I progress and want to up my game!

Are you still open to new members?

Today I am back on MFP taking back control and finding myself again! NSV

Sugarbabie - i'll be 27 weeks tomorrow and my doctor already said he wanted to do an ultrasound closer to due date to check size. My uteris is measuring 3 weeks further along and i tend to have big babies, the last one was 10.7lbs. Other than for those reasons, i probable wouldn't be having one, i never did with my last 3.

I didn't start feeling my LO until 23 1/2 weeks and hubby felt first kick at just over 24 weeks. My Placenta is measuring 2-3 weeks bigger and i have lots of amniotic fluid, so it took longer.

My thoughts are with you and your family!

Hello everyone! I haven't been on in a while but happy to see everyone is doing well! At about 8 weeks i started putting on a pound a week and happy to say in the last 6 weeks, i've only gained 2 lbs, yay me! The way i was trending i was gonna be one big momma. I'm finally feeling the baby kick all the time, hubby is yet…

Hello everyone, i've been out of town for work so just catching up on what's going on with everyone. This week i really feel pregnant! The belly is to the point where i had to buy a new coat and since there wasn't much selection for maturnity spring jackets, i went to the plus size store. I haven't had to buy anything from…

Hey Sas! I'm in the same boat as you. My youngest is 14 just this January, i also have a 16 year old and my oldest will be 23 this April. Talk about starting from scratch, only had 4 more years to go and then they would have all been gone or off to college. I wouldn't have it any other way though, i love the idea of a big…

We had our ultrasound last friday and all is well! I was a little worried before because after fracturing my arm a couple weeks ago i had to have x-rays to determine how bad it was. We chose not to find out the gender so have another 4 1/2 month to go before we know! I like the suspense of it and everyone guessing what it…

Hello everyone! Thanks for the well wishes! My arm is still in a slab cast but feeling much better! We went for our ultrasound on Friday, I was a little nervous because of the fall, x-rays and not feeling the baby but all went well. Turns out my uterise is quiet big and i have lots of amniotic fluid so it may be a couple…

Well it's been a trying week! The weekend before last, I took advantage of the beautiful weather and took my dog for a walk. Was half way through the walk when i tripped over the dog, falling, bracing myself with my right arm, fracturing it along with spraining my wrist & hand. Meds have been limited to extra strength…

Hello everyone! There are so many conversations going on and not familiar with everyone so though i would just sum it up. Sleep - I haven't been sleeping the best lately but last night i had the best sleep i've had since getting pregnant! The secret is...my husband took an overnight shift! He's the one that tosses and…

Hey Pepper! Things are good here, my due date has been changed from September 12th to September 4th so pretty excited about that! Feeling pretty good as well but my boobs are driving me crazy still, itchy and sore all the time. I put cream on them but that doesn't seem to be helping at all. It's funny because i am…

myiceisonfire - I actually feel this off and on as well, i take it as my uterise is growing and stretching. You're baby is rapidly growing right now and your uteris is also, along with rising up into your abdomin, needing to make room for baby. definately mention this to your doctor, i know i will be as well! Have a great…

I am hearing you ladies 100%! I lost 20lbs before i got married in November but quite doing bootcamp when i got back, even though i was still 27 lbs from my first goal. Over the next 2 months i put 10 back on and then found out i was pregnant. I check in every couple weeks with a group of friends to support each other with…

Well i haven't had my official results from my NT scan yet, i should have gotten them on Monday and if doc didn't call then that means all is good. I really wasn't worried about this one, just wanted to make sure lo had a heartbeat this time. I did get my CD with the pictures of the ultrasound on them, so excited! As i was…

Pepper, no reason to leave! October 7th is so close to September, you might as well stay. I wishing you all the best at your next ultrasound Aphrodite, congrats! My doctor said the same, i shouldn't gain anything more than 11-21lbs but i'm pretty sure i'm at 10lbs already and i'm only 13w 5d. Not having much success there…

Hello everyone! New to Trimester 2, I wasn't sure i would make it but so glad to be here! So far i've gained 6.8 lbs at 13w5d but i haven't weighed in a couple weeks so i'm sure it's safe to say there is probable another couple lbs to add on. I've been gaining pretty steady so all the weight i did loose is now coming back…

Hello everyone! Just an update. I had my NT scan on Friday and while i won't know my results for another week, it was amazing. This is the first time i have seen one of my lo in an ultrasound.

Hello Ladies! Hoping all is well with everyone! Today i'm 11w5d and feeling pretty good, i have my Nuchal Transluciency scan this Friday. Is anyone else having one? I'm not really worried about it as the only reason they are wanting me to have it is because of my age. I was talking to my sister in-law who has children that…

Not much action on this board lately! Hopefully this will bring it back. Well I've made it to 11 weeks! I picked up a treadmill in hopes of slowing down the weight gain. I put on 4 lbs in 4 weeks (not counting christmas weight). I have an extra 40 lbs on, so i should only gain about 11-21lbs total. By this rate though, I…

I say start as early as you can with the cocoa butter. It didn't help me at all with my last 3 pregnancies (genetics) but some women have gotten away with no stretch marks at all. You may want to look into some kind of oil as well, i think i've heard vitamin E oil is good. The only thing that will help me know is a tummy…

I'm not usually a chocolate eater but everyday i usually have some. It used to be carbs that i craved and i'm sure that will kick in but chocolate is what i want now. Anyone have those chocolate covered acia and blueberries? Sooo good!

We found out before New Years (very faint line) and were at my brothers so when they asked me why i wasn't drinking, i could only smile. We told my hubbies mom because we wanted to make sure we were the ones to tell her. Every week it seems someone is asking me (or i just spill the beans) and i can't seem to tell them…

September 12th here, 8w5d! Will find out if this date is accurate on March 2 when i go for my ultrasound. This is my 6th (wow) pregnacy but only have 3 children. When i went for my first prenatal and they asked my what pregnancy this was, it took me by surprise that this was #6!!! This will be my husbands first though.…

love this

Anything to do with farting makes me laugh! i'm crying again!!!!

I am crying at work right now and everyone is looking at me!!!!!!!!!!
