Does anyone want to join me in an exercise/water goal from week to week? We can post on Friday or Saturday how we did. Write your goals for the week on Sunday and then check in on the weekend so we can encourage each other and hold each other accountable (well, sort of). At least if we have to post it, we might be more…

Hello mommies! My EDD is Jan 26th. I have a 12 month old son (surprise, you're getting a sibling!). I'm 33, a full-time working mother and im feeling overwhlemed with this surprise. (And a little guilty because I didn't want to stop my weight loss goals.) I'm 14w today. Question: Are there any other 2nd time (or more) moms…

Wow! Congrats!

Are there any mothers out there that had c-sections and then had successful vbacs in subsequent births? I'm really hoping to have a vbac with this second child, but some people I've spoken with said not to get my hopes up because they don't happen all too often. I hope this isn't the case! Anyone....?

Protein!!! :) Eggs and bacon with guacamole for me!

This is my second time around (I just found out I'm due Jan. 23rd)...my doctor told me in my last pregnancy that the "do no let your heart rate exceed 140bpm" is old and out of date. He told me not to follow that rule, but to let my body be my guide. I'm heavy into crossfit and I lift a LOT of weight and do a lot of…

I'm new to Paleo (only about 6 weeks), but I haven't seen any substantial loss on the scale (5 lbs). I figured I must be doing something wrong so I looked Paleo up on here and found this post. I had my ratios set to 45% carbs (all veg), 30% protein, and 25% fat because my understanding was to have all three be in a sort of…

Awesome! Thanks. I'm going to make one of her recipes tomorrow!

Hubby and I just started Paleo a week ago. I'm not sure if I've got the balace right between the carbs (veg), fat, and protien. My crossfit trainer threw a bunch of numbers at me, but I admit that it was complete jibberish to me. She said "Try to only get 9g of carbs for every 7g of protein. 15g of protein in a good amount…

Pizza for me as well. The thicker the crust the better. :-/

I went through the same thing (my little one is 6 months old now)! I upped my calories from 1200 to 1500, but I worked hard my whole pregnancy to stay active. I ran up until 22 weeks. I did crossfit (www.crossfitmom.com), and even with all that hard work, I STILL gained 43 lbs. But the good news is that after I had my…

I've been doing Crossfit for a year now. I had the same insecurities as you have. You'll be amazed at the community you find involved with the sport. It truly is for people of all body types and abilities. No one compares themselves to you. Crossfit is all about friendly competition, but the REAL competition is with…

Kelley: Congrats on your little girl!! I'm so happy for you and proud of you for doing it without any meds. Melissa: Any news yet? AFM: Our son, Tayt Jefferson Wade (6lbs 14oz, 19 inches long) arrived on Friday, July 6th. I had been having off and on contractions for 3 weeks and was pretty much debilitated with intense…

Quick question, ladies: I'm feeling kind of funny this evening. It feels like baby is rolling/stretching and it sort of hurts my belly. It gets hard but it's not like BH, it's like he's pushing hard on one side, but then I feel a pain/cramp down low in my pelvis. This has been steady going since 5:30 (4 hours). It doesn't…

Yahyamommy- Congrats on the baby girl! I'm sorry you've had so much pain with the c-section. I hope you feel better soon, and that your little girl's jaundice clears up quickly. Melissa- Thanks for the encourangement. I hope it will come off quckly...I'll just have to keep working at it until it's gone. How have you been…

Hello ladies. I have SO much to catch up on! Amanda- Congrats on baby Evie!! She's beautiful. And thanks for the birthing story! Emily- 1-2 and 70% effaced is good! Kelley- Still pregnant? Hubby's job still going smoothly? JC-Any updates? Each pregnancy is different, so I've been told, so I suppose the pain you've been…

Hello, ladies, Sorry I haven't been on since I last posted. I had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and he said that my cervix has now moved to an anterior position and I'm dialated to a 1, which is really small, but it's a start. I'll take it! :tongue: My cramps are indeed contractions but they're not consistent enough…

Question for you ladies who've already had children: I've had some cramping pains (a lot like painful ovulation cramps) on my left side all morning. My belly just feels really sore and tender, too. The pains haven't been consistent really. They were in the morning (even durning my 2 mile walk) but then they quit at around…

Hello, Ladies!! Emily - DH will be back the 16th of this month. I'm ready for him to come home. Last night I watched a scary movie and I had to laugh at myself because with him gone, every noise in the house startled me. Amanda- Hilarious pregnancy brain story. Keep us posted on your progress. You're SO close! I hope your…

What a GREAT idea!! I'm so going to do this!

That can be so stressful. Yahyamommy-Good luck!! Amanda- Sorry about the life insurance disappointment. A veggie garden is so much fun!!…

Hello ladies! Sorry I've been MIA for so long! I've been incredibly busy with school ending, trying to get my garden canned, dehydrated, frozen, etc., getting ready for baby, and traveling. I'm currently in SC visiting my husband while he's at Ft. Jackson and I've been preocupied with thinking of all the things I still…

Amy- Welcome!! Kelley- Glad you were able to have a good BBQ, aside from tensions. My MIL and I get along for the most part, but I did shout at her on accident when I got SO fed up with her bossing me around a few weeks ago. :blushing: DH was actually proud of me for telling her to leave me be. I didn't expect that…

MisssConfidence- Yes, I can relate! You should have seen my end of first/beginning of second trimester rants and raves. I've been SUPER stressed and had to get monthly shots of vitamin B12 to combat my depression. Hang in there. I keep telling myself that billions of women have done the same thing. Running for 2- I'm super…

Jane- Sorry about the insomnia! And I"m glad to hear you like the midwife. Good luck with your walks! Becca- Welcome! Way to go on the work outs! All I can seem to do is walk now-a-days. I tried to do a WOD yesterday and I could only do the squats and the "good mornings", which aren't hard at all. The squats felt AMAZING…

Amanda- So sorry to hear about all the stress in your life. I hope things calm down for you quickly. Just think, 2 more weeks!! Kim- keep us posted on Cecilia. You're so close! Tara- You keep us posted, too! There are so many mamas that are close! I'm excited for you. Kelley- Nice job on the shopping finds. I don't know…
