I appreciate all of your ladies support. Just to give you an idea I just updated my profile picture was taken of me just last week! I am currently 14 +3 weeks along and I personally know I am not what I was at before but Idon't think I look huge or anything so maybe you all are right she's just being a meany! anyways I am…

Oh my gosh you all are sooooo right! People need to just shut their pie holes! lol The funny part is after I got to my desk after cooling off I thought "What the hell why am I so pissed that lady is the SAME SIZE as me and she's not even pregnant so what the hell is her excuse!!!??? I'll instantly lose the "10 pounds of…

Hi joianett, I too have done low carb but a ketogenic version in the past before I was pregnant. There are sooo many definitions of low carb out there that you need to be more specific. Are you following something specific "Atkins, PAleo, primal? Are you eating dairy, not eating dairy? Low Carb in itself is not harmful to…

This is really cool since June 16th is my birthday so would be cool if one of you had a kid on my birthday! Bring on the awesome Geminis!

Hi Joieanett, Was the 2225 - 2480 calories for your current weight or your pre-pregnancy weight? The freedieting calculator should be set for your pre-pregnancy weight . Also I don't know how often you exercise but I would put it for sedentary and then just eat bacl exercise calories on the days you do exercise and the…

Hi ajheinz, Yes I have been doing Turbofire and TurboJAm while pregnant. I also just follow the low intensity version and listen to your body! There is absolutely no reason to stop exercising in pregnancy just modify unless your doctor has specifically told you to stop due t osome medical reason! 30+ minutes a day low…

Hi my name is Teresa live in California and am currently 13+4 weeks along with my first due in November 2014 and gotta say Second trimester is so far way better than the first! I finally feel like myself again without the extreme mood swings, hunger and nausea nad morning sickness all at the same time (Which is just…

@ tiggerhammon : I am 31 years old and only 5' 3" a "shortie" and at my starting weight 156 lbs so that is in the overweight category for my BMI (28) so that is why the doctor said 20 pounds is the acceptable range for my height and weight.

Starting weight: 156 lbs Week 13: 160.2 lbs (+4.2 lbs) right on track Doctor told me whatever I am doing keep doing it cause I am right on track was told not to gain more than 20 pounds for the whole pregnancy which seems so hard but I am going to do my darndest to stay in the 20 -25 pound total range. Was told at the 20…

Keep going but maybe try following the "Low Impact" girl who is always on the right of the video until you work up to the higher stamina. OR start off doing the "High Impact" version then when you start to feel like you are losing pace switch over the the "low Impact" girl. :bigsmile: Keep going and don't give up!

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/6556-the-answers-to-the-questions?page=1 Go to this topic it explains alot and why you needto eat at your BMR and why you are NOT going to lose weight just eating 1200 calories Total.

I'm soooo sorry to hear that! Fur babies are always hard to let go of but it is better than them getting to the point of pain. Your fur baby will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge! Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet…

"Palmers Cocoa Butter Itchy Skin Soothing Oil Pump"!!! I swear by this stuff it wil take the itchiness away, also putting babay diaper rash cream "Boudreaux’s Butt Paste" works miracles!

Yeah I need a break from going out but still wanted to hang out with my girls for a "girl nite" and they all keep asking me how they can help so thought this would be fun and they can feel like they are contributing without getting in my way too much lol

these are all really cute ideas! I actually decided on baby african animals as the theme since I am from South Africa but live in the US wanted something to represent my background. I'm actually drawing up some cute ideas on mini canvas and having a wine/apple cider painting party at my house for a "girls nite" since this…

I started off slightly overweight at 5'3' pre pregnancy weight of 156 lbs and was told by my doctor not to gain more than 20 pounds... easier said than done for sure! This is my first child and never been in this boat, but alos been trying to eat at maintenance and exercise at minimum 30 minutes everyday (Also easier said…

I second this... http://www.freedieting.com/tools/pregnancy_calorie_calculator.htm I set it to "sedentary" for maintenance calories and then just eat back exercise calories on the days I do exercise. I like this because its based on your pre-pregnancy weight. Other calculators are based on current pregnancy weight which…

Just be aware that you may be waaaay more tored than you normally are and that morning sickness, sleep deprivation (insomina) and other factors do kick in around 9- 10 weeks. Also you don't want to raise your core temperature too high it can harm the baby also your ligamints and other joints will be getting looser so just…

It definetly could be bloating and I am short waisted so really no where for the baby to go except out . Its hard to tell people not to touch when caught off guard never been pregnant before so never been in that situation (And some people are just so darn quick!!lol) All of my clothes are already tight so already had to…

So I finally found something that has worked wonders on my pregnancy acne. Cetaphil DermaControl Foaming Face Wash and DermaContro Moisturizer no harsh chemicals and for acne prone skin, no acne medication in it so it is okay to use during pregnancy (I checked) and it has amazingly already started clearing up the problem…

thank you all for your responses I love that I have a community here that I can go to and not about this stuff as really noone except my immediate family knows and i want to keep it that way not to mention I am one of the first in my close circle of girlfriends to be pregnant so not much help there I'm kinda the guinea pig…

Gotta be accountable. :bigsmile:

You are not eating enough and your body is holding on to every calorie because your NET calories are way below your BMR if you what you say is true You should be NETTING minimum your BMR calories everyday (So if your BMR is 1410 your NET calories should not be less than 1410)Your basal metabolic rate, or BMR, is the…

you are more than welcome! :bigsmile:

When I am getting into ketosis I definetly find I run hotter, feel like I sweat more and have to drink alot more water! That's just yor internal furnace burning up that fat! It does go away when you're body gets "Fat adapted" which varies in time person to person.. if your wife goes in and out of ketosis this could last…
