Thanks for posting this. I am interested in the answers you receive. I am I'm the same boat. I am eating about half my exercise calories back and I am still struggling to make myself eat more. I am eating as clean as possible so I am looking for those healthy options just like you. Good luck!

I hope you speak up! I just started finally logging my food. Mfp told me to eat 1300 calories which after posting a question and getting numerous helpful responses I was able to raise mine. I'm not very familiar with this site and learned a lot by others speaking up

The most I think I have lost in one week is 3 but that is a rarity it is usually between 0-2 lbs. I just started counting calories as I was just doing the eat clean method before without watching calories. I will try to change my diary settings so you can take a look. I just changed the wording in there to better fit my…

My BMR is 1913. TDEE is 2965. I have been following Tosca Renos eat clean books for about a month now. I wasn't counting calories but thought I would give it a try and couldn't believe how small amount of calories I am supposed to be consuming.

Thanks for the clarification! I know right!?!?! 1,300 seems so low!

I do group classes also whenever I can. I am also training with the couch to 5k program. Should I be eating my exercise calories back? Thanks for any advice.

I'm going to be honest I don't know much about weight loss. I'm pretty close to the same situation as you. The one thing I can tell you that my trainer told me was to change things up when you stop losing. Your body can get used to the same routine.

You look absolutely amazing. Congrats on your wonderful weight loss!!

In week three of my couch to 5k program. Went for a walk tonight with my two girls in their stroller which turned into a jog/walk for a mile outside. It was my first time jogging outside since I have started my program and I loved it! It was a lot more challenging as I usually run with 0% incline on the treadmill. Can't…

48 lbs 5 months official update and weigh in tomorrow

Hi all!!! I am not quite sure how to post pictures to show off our little peanut Madison Rose. I will try and post some to my profile or as my profile picture. Can someone tell me if there is a post-partum group I can join? I also want to wish you all the best of luck with the remainder of your pregnancies and wish you…

Please forgive any grammatical errors or the horrible flow to the story. We are all a bit sleep deprived at our household.

Hi All- So on Friday December 30th my contractions were about every 5 minutes from each other. We decided to head in and see what the hospital had to say. I had been 3cm dilated and 50% effaced at my last appt on that Monday. To my dissapointment when I arrived I was still only at 3 cm. The hospital only admitd at 4cm. So…

Hi ladies!! Hope you all had a great holiday weekend. Every week I work tues 12-4, fri,sat,sun 5am to 5pm so Christmas weekend I was off Saturday and Sunday. It was such a nice treat to have two straight days off of work with my husband to enjoy with our daughter and families. Little baby girl due January 4th still hasn't…

Hi everyone. I took a few days away and wow you all move fast! Hope you are all doing well. These last few days have been chaotic. We were in the hospital yesterday. I was contracting every 2 minutes which the nurse said will probably be the closest they come together. My outer part of cervix is dilated to 3 cm and my…

Hi all!! My name is Elizabeth, I am 37 weeks today. I am 1cm dilated and 30% effaced. I have a daughter who turned 2 years old today and this baby due January 4th is also a girl. I am hoping she decides to arrive early my first came at 37 weeks 5 days. Hope you are all doing well!

Congrats!!

So I know I could go up to January 4th or past but I sure hope not. My first came 16 days early and I would totally take that at this point. I am so uncomfortable and I am having a ton of pelvic pressure. The other day I sneezed and peed a little tmi I know. But seriously I can't even control my bladder...that is just…

Fitmommy- Glad to hear you get to be off bedrest that is awesome! Hope the time flies until your u/s. Don't get too mad if they can't tell that early. if it is too early you will just get to go have another u/s and another look at that baby which is always great!

Anyone have any tips for getting a breech baby to flip?

Hi ladies! Just wanted to say hello and welcome to all the newcomers! This past weekend we had my cousins wedding. Hubby and I had an awesome time. It was one of my last weekends off until the baby comes. Sad that I wont have any more days off with him but we had such a great time. Hopefully these next 6-9 weeks flies by!…

FitMommyLuv- thanks I hope so too. Glad you are almost done with your bedrest. I must have missed seeing you had to go on it. Hope you are hanging in there!

So this week has been a tough week for our family. My daughter has a genetic disorder that I also have called OFDS type 1. She needed surgery to place a VP shunt when she was 7 months old. It drains the excess fluid from her brain down to her abdominal cavity. She has a dysplastic right hemisphere of her brain causing left…

Can it be December already?

Congrats Melissa and good luck Jenna! A few of my friends from school threw me a shower about two weeks ago. It was super sweet and I even got a target gift card from my best friend for $50!! I am so excited because I went on Target.com and saw one of the rockers is on sale for $99 so we are going to order that asap. We…

Lindsay- The dr just mentioned to elevate my legs when I can. She also suggested compression socks that are knee high. She said the thigh highs just roll down and are a nuisance and to remember to take them off at night. The last half a week or so it hasn't been bad but I have noticed it happens more working so I might buy…

Ron- I struggled with breastfeeding my daughter when she was born. She was in the special care nursery and it was the same statement I received that they needed to give her formula. I met with an awesome lactation consultant but between her already having the bottle, me not getting the hang of it and her not latching it…

24 lbs isn't bad at all! Especially since you weren't overweight starting. I have to keep mine as low as possible since I was overweight to start. I think it is silly they might not let you skype. I guess it is better than our hospital they don't allow cameras or videotaping during delivery. Not that I would have taped it…

Appointment went good. Got my glucose test, rhogam shot and flu shot. The dr asked if my u/s showed baby breech. Which I would probably be more worried about but I still have plenty of time for her to turn. If I remember right my first didn't turn head down until about 34 weeks or so and wow could I feel her do it lol.…
