So I went ahead and dyed my hair back to light blonde and I finally feel the most like myself that I have since being pregnant! I'm so glad i did i just feel renewed and happier when I look in the mirror and see myself again!

Just remember that the old saying "Eating for two" just is NOT true. I highly recommend using this tool it has helped me tremendously! Gives you your calorie needs based on trimester you are in. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/pregnancy_calorie_calculator.htm I have used this and have stayed in my target weight gain range…

Thanks newmama. I would be going on the Maintenance level of atkins while breastfeeding which is not ketogenic . Ithink there is a lot of miscomception about Atkins out htere it is NOT high protein but rather High Fat Low Carb moderate proeting when done right. I am definetly gonna check out that website. Thank you!

Ok I am probably not going to gain any brownie points here but you asked the question and I am going to give you an honest answer so please forgive me. According to the stats that you gave 196 pre-pregnancy weight at 5'5 at 15 pounds pounds weight gain at 31 weeks you are heading towards the being over the recommended…

Hi Binky Muffin, Yes I am also a major List maker and we definetly have a budget right now which is super tight!!!

So i made it a whole 6 days without caving in and today..sigh...:grumble:... I just could not for the life of me resist the chocolate covered pretzels at work! BUT I will say 6 days is longer than I have gone in the past so gotta look at the bright side and stay accountable. I will say this I AM NOT GIVING UP! I am back on…

I know someone on here recommended chiropracter but i would be EXTREMEMLY carefu getting chiropracter work done while pregnant not all chirporacters are created equal and not all chiropracters have experience working on pregnant women! I am a long time migraine sufferer and the migraines defintely came full force in my…

getfitgal123 that's great it's all about being aware! Know you have an excuse to give your brain when that happens just tell your brain "I can't eat this right now I'm doing a challenge!" It will get easier! Repetition will lead to habit! Soon you won't even thnk twice about wanting to mindlesly eat those pretzels!

Awesome ladies! So glad to see you both on board! Just checking in myself! Been 5 days sos far for me with no sweets or junk food... the weekdays are pretty easy because i have a routine BUT the weekends are SO HARD! especially with family and friends who seem to always want to go out to eat and like sweets! But I'm doing…

YES! I have heard of this and it is totally accurate, BUT you have to go off of the ultrasound that is first done at your 6 -8 weeks confirmation of pregnancy as your placental location can change as the fetus completely implants into the uterus. FYI I totally checked this when I first got pregnant and got my 8 week…

This website calculator was suggested by omeone else on this community board and it has really helped me to stay within my weight range for my height and weight so I really recommend checking it out and using the myfitness pal to track your food. This takes into account your pre-pregnancy weight and BMI so you stay in the…

I wouldn't worr too much about it, the normal weight gain in the first trimester is 1 - 5 lbs so you sound like you are actually on track . Remember the first trimester you are not really "Eating for two"the fetus is only about the size of a grape so your calorie consumption should be around the same as your pre-pregnancy…

Just to put things in perspective not all of the weight you gain during pregnancy is fat here is a breakdown from WebMD of where exactly all that weight goes. I know its so hard to not let the number on the scale get to you but trust me only 5 lbs gained in 15 weeks you are doing awesome and right on track! " Where Does…

I have only gained 5.4…

Starting weight: 156 lbs Week 13: 160.2 lbs (+4.2 lbs) right on track Week 17 1/2: 162.2 (+6.2 lbs) on track Was told by doctor to not gain more than 20 pounds my whole pregnancy and by the 20 week mark I should be around the +8lbs gained mark so I'd say I am right on track. Just been logging like crazy and exercising when…

Cravings ave been kind of boring but I majorly crave fruit and in my first trimester all i could stomach during morning sickness was frozen mango chunks. But so far no weird cravings or craving anything unhealthy which I guess is good, just more of Food aversions and "Nothing sounds Good!" I am about 16 weeks already so…

Oh I am sooogoing to look into this! The one thing Ive really missed is a nice glass of red wine every once in awhile after an especially long day at work!:love:

It makes me feel so much better coming on this site knowing that I am not the only one out their dealing with insensitive people and rude coments while pregnant. The really sad part is this is the second time this lady at work has made some kind of rude comment to me about my pregnancy.. if it happens again I am going to…
