@poke987 - that's fantastic! Great job! I had a huge setback because of a cross country road trip/family emergency that we abruptly had to take WITH the little one, which was stressful enough (even though he did really well!). Was away from home for 3 weeks, including travel time and have been home for about 2 weeks or so…

@ragenhay1 Woo! That's amazing progress. Keep it up! @JustAnotherGirlSuzanne Sorry to hear he has a cold. =( I'm super worried about my son's first sickness because I'm not sure how I'll handle it. We're flying second week of April and I'm convinced the poor guy is going to get sick on the plane (because if I always feel…

First of all, congrats on your adorable baby! I don't have any good advice for you really considering I'm also a first time mom (I also had a super fast labor - the staff was comically impressed), but I had to have a lot of sutures due to some tearing. I ended up using all the stuff they gave me from the hospital - squirt…

How's everyone doing? Hopefully trucking along well! My weight loss has been miserably slow in February. I've been in the same weight range this whole month pretty much. Started around 232ish and am currently 230.6 so it's a bit slow but a loss is still a loss, I suppose! We'll be flying mid-April to see my family and I'm…

That looks amazing! Thanks for the link - I'm always looking for new dinners to add to the rotation.

Been dealing with a 2+ week bleeding after my mirena insertion. Not sure if it's period or just the IUD. In any case, my weight has been fluctuating like crazy this past couple weeks. I keep going up and down 4+ pounds. :| Pregnancy SW: 211 Pregnancy gain: 45lbs Delivery day (40+5): 256 (baby weighed 9lbs 1oz) 6 days PP:…

My new postpartum body is doing a lot of weird stuff recently (including a current 2 week time of the month) and what I assume is a massive 4+ pound bloat. I did eat over my goal this past week but I certainly didn't eat enough to gain that weight so I'll just say this past two weeks is a wash and see where I stand next…

As a recent first time mom (he will be 3 months old in a little over a week), I've been way more couch potato-y since he's been here. This past week I've just tried to get up and move more when I'm watching TV when he's sleeping. I realized I was using him as an excuse to not workout cause he takes little naps, but I…

Those wraps look yummy! I have that same green container. It's fantastic for lunches!

Being at home all day anyway, I haven't minded the cloth diapers much anyway. One thing I DO mind is that he has turned into a total wiggle worm/bean whenever I try to change his diapers so it's easy to not get the cloth tight around his legs. :p I blame a majority of his pee leaks not on user error on my part, but on the…

Owen is 10 weeks now and doing fairly well. According to our scale, he may even be close to 15lbs already. He took his 2 month vaccines like a champ and just ended up sleeping most of the day to feel better. We've had to go the cloth diapers route cause disposables seem to cause a reaction for him immediately, so another…

MFP SW: 282 Pre-pregnancy SW: 211 Challenge SW: 240 Challenge GW: 220 Week 1: 238.4 Week 2: 235.6 Weight lost: 4.4

Hi Ashley! I'm 29, first time mom (almost 9 weeks PP). I lost 71lbs with MFP before pregnancy then gained 45lbs with pregnancy. I, too, am a big-time couch potato. I'll toss you a friend request, but I don't make a lot of status updates (though I'm on here daily). Feel free to send me messages if you ever need someone to…

MFP SW: 282 Pre-pregnancy SW: 211 Challenge SW: 240 Challenge GW: 220 Week 1: 238.4 Weight lost: 1.6

I'm in! I initially lost 71lbs before getting pregnant, and I gained 45lbs during pregnancy. My lowest weight was 211 that I got to before pregnancy, current weight is 240.

SW: 240 GW: 220 Added myself to the spreadsheet. I'm going to try for 20, but I've been struggling a bit with a newborn so I'd be happy with 10. =P

Baby is 2 months old today and has his appointment today for vaccines. We'll see how he does! As for me, I've gotten better at fully tracking my food for the days (good or bad). I worked out 3 times last week and I'm at 2 for this week and plan to work out at least once more. Just working on establishing habits again. My…

Kind of struggled for a few weeks (holidays hit me hard, I guess!), but think I might have found a groove in some ways. My water intake has been great, and I've started exercising again. Food has been iffy, but I'm adjusting it! Pregnancy SW: 211 Pregnancy gain: 45lbs Delivery day (40+5): 256 (baby weighed 9lbs 1oz) 6 days…

My 6 week appointment is coming up on the 21st and hopefully I get cleared for exercise cause I've been struggling with food but have been anxious to start working out (when I have some free time!). I have been having similar pains to the first week post partum down there and I'm curious why that is. It seems like I've…

It seems to at least be making me feel a little better even though my diet is absolutely awful. Looking forward to my…

@katiebrew - I'm doing okay! Owen's gotten a bit fussy the past couple days so I'm a little behind on sleep, but it hasn't gotten to full blown exhaustion yet. I'm also dealing with a staph infection from an innocent, small pimple that I popped before Thanksgiving that turned into a crazy abscess and fever. Have been on…

Baby Owen was initially sleeping well but seems to have some congestion so he's been fussy the past few days, which is okay. He doesn't like sleeping on his back in the co-sleeper because of the congestion, so I sleep in the living room with him in his little automatic swing and that seems to work out. Breastfeeding isn't…

I'm Stephanie! Just had my first baby on November 8th. Before getting pregnant, I was about 282lbs and lost 71lbs using MFP. Got down to 211, and found out I was pregnant. I didn't do super well in terms of keeping in the recommended weight gain range, and gained 45lbs my whole pregnancy (baby boy was 9lbs, 1oz though!).…

Hi everyone! Just had my first baby on 11/8 at 8:11pm (we appreciated that coincidence!) and have been at least tracking my weight since then. I'm still recovering (had a lot of tearing and sutures and they said I lost more blood than normal vaginal births) so I'm not being too strict with my diet/exercise currently even…

My water broke yesterday around 4:26am with no contractions and the doctor wanted me to come in in 2-4 hours or so to get examined. I was 3 centimeters dialated by the time we got to the birth center, and they decided to put me on pitocin in the afternoon. 6 hours and 41 minutes later, my baby boy Owen was born at a…

I'm feeling pretty okay, actually! The weather's been icky and I've had a headache for the past few days, but other than that and pelvic pain, I'm worried he's a little TOO comfortable in there. ;) Doctor said if I make it to my next appointment (the 5th, which is actually 2 days after my due date), then we'll probably…

That's great news, @nwright612 and @JustAnotherGirlSuzanne ! Glad you two have your little ones now. :smile: *taps belly impatiently*

Congrats Rosie! Look forward to your update (and more birth announcements soon!). Not much to report here. My weight was preposterous at my last visit, but I keep forgetting to weigh myself at home so I don't know exactly how much I've gained according to my own records. Last I weighed myself was week 35 and I'll be 38 on…
