I've gained and lost 35lb twice (and 50lb once!) with my pregnancies and my skin is still ok. Even on my stomach which obviously took the brunt of the stretching. I'm 34.

Eh. It's one day. Drink a lot of water today to flush out all the sodium, and carry on. You'll be fine. One crazy day is good for the soul. For real. :)

I don't see why not. All you're looking for is change and not complete and total accuracy, right? So, margin of error... you should still see change. God luck!

You sure are. lol. He was very skinny. He's still trim. He just filled out a little. He looks great.

He probably doesn't notice. I've almost always outweighed my husband. I outweighed him by a good 20lb when we got married (when I was about 130lb), and then every time I was pregnant... it was way more. lol. We've both gained some in the ten years we've been together, him more than me (hooray!) but I think I still have a…

I remember the commercials for that!! Never DID it, but I remember the commercials. lol

One pieces make me feel frumpy and dowdy and like I have something to hide and be ashamed of. So I don't wear them. Bikini or death.

Diamond Naturals. It was suggested by his breeder. :)

My husband knows I'm working on it, because I need his backup with the kids. He is supportive of course. But I keep my numbers to myself.

Ditto.

If you wind up in that situation just plan on getting something the get you by. Don't try and leave a fast food restaurant FULL. It won't be pretty.

And the McDonald's Filet-o-Fish is about 350 calories I believe.

A Taco Bell Fresco crunchy taco is only 90-some calories. I mean, it's fast food - but it's not the worst thing you could eat.

Don't get too worked up about it. I hit my goal weight about a month and a half before I found myself pregnant with a surprise third baby. I was very sick in the beginning and then tried to be incredibly careful with my eating... and it was six months before I really started gaining. Somehow I had convinced myself that if…

My MIL always says "there's a lid for every pot!" and I absolutely agree. I'm sorry those other men didn't take the opportunity to get to know you better. Sometimes people are thoughtless, even if they don't intend to be outright mean. I hope for the sake of the other people in their lives it was that. But for you, it…

You look great! What a cute suit!

My knees. I don't know how anyone has chubby knees but I totally do.

I've got the last seven pounds of a surprise third pregnancy to drop. I'm not convinced it's going anywhere while I am nursing (my baby is 5 months old now) but I'm happy to be closer to my goal WAY faster than I was with the other two. I squeeze in quick work outs after the baby goes down for the night. Maybe not ideal,…

It's hard to talk when you're working your butt off. Granted, there would be less butt to work off if we all exercised more often. But, I think I'll just stick to eating at meal times and exercising around them. :)

Keep your onion cold, and chop it as quickly as you can (safely). They move really quickly.

Yes, this!! You've come from less than a minute to eight! That is awesome!

Sort of? I think he gets a little overwhelmed with all my talk about calories and work outs, but I know he's proud of my progress, and tells me he admires my consistency. So. The number isn't significant to him, and he'd never say anything - but I can tell he thinks I'm lookin' real good once I hit a specific range. It's…

I guess so. Unless you count all the annoying crap I do. And also that I am a terrible housekeeper. lol

He does way fewer annoying things than I do. For sure. I am a giant pain in his butt. Which is why I learned to cook. And put out. lol

I tell myself I can phone in it if I need to, but I should at least try. 99% of the time, I don't actually slack. But knowing that I can if I want is enough to make it okay. Apparently I don't like being bossed around, even by myself. lol

You're doing really well! 8lbs in not even a month? Wonderful! You don't have to up your calories a lot to see a good result. I hit a plateau and started eating my (measly 188) exercise calories back, and have started to lose again. It's against what I've always thought I needed to do, but it's working and I feel better.…

I have no experience. But I think if you don't want to take it, you don't feel you need to take it, and there's no life-saving reason to take it, you shouldn't take it. Good luck.

It's tacky to show off your progress? And it's what... totally classy to put someone down behind their backs? You look fantastic, and should be so proud of yourself. Put her behind you.

My oldest son wanted to play with the webcam. There aren't many pictures of me. lol

I scrambled two eggs and two egg whites, and gave my 3yo daughter a third of it. Had the rest with some cheese. Glass V8 juice.
