Welcome to the group!

I have a fitbit too. It's not the newer bracelet kind, but I really like it (when I wear it). During the day I only get about 2,500 steps (desk job) but when I wear it to the gym I get to about 7,000. Most days I don't wear it anymore because my numbers are pretty much the same each day. There isn't much I can do during…

snaps- my scale is so old.. I've only replaced the battery once. I'm kind of afraid to get a new one LOL. To be fair, it always gives me the same number each time I get on, so it must be okay. I would like a nicer one with body fat % just to help with seeing a trend.

morning everyone! Thanks for the encouragement in last week's thread about my thyroid! I really appreciate it. I had a pretty bad weekend food wise, but I'm fasting today and looking forward to drinking tons of water. Thinking I'm going to try to get some exercise in tonight because I have a doctor appointment tomorrow,…

You are right lulu.. I'm a little discouraged this week as I was just diagnosed Hypothyroid. I'm afraid this weight will never go away! :(

First week in 7 weeks that I've gained! Ugh. Only a lb but disappointing!

Fast day 2 of the week. Doing well. I have 160 calorie almond milk yogurt, and will eat the rest of my calories for dinner! I've meant to get to the gym all week, but headaches keep getting me. Just diagnosed Hypothyroid and seeing a doctor next week.

Thanks Everyone!!

I weigh in on Friday morning's only. My 2nd fast day is Thursday, so this works out. I might jump on the scale once or twice during the week, but I only log what the scale says on Friday's.

First post here in the weekly thread! Just found this group and I'm so excited! I started 5:2 back in December. I've been losing weight slowly but consistently lost each week since I've started. I fast on Monday's and Thursday's, so today I am feasting! Going to go to the gym tonight and get a workout in, too.

I've been a member of this board, but keep forgetting to come on here! I am 7 months PP and trying HARD to lose about 30 lbs before September of this year! I was 157 when I got pregnant, and I'm 171 now. I've lost 5.2 lbs since 12/30/14 and my goal is to lose another 5 lbs by valentines day! I weigh in on Friday, so i'll…

Will the reset group make a page for February? I'm starting a whole30 2/1 but not currently doing one, so I don't want to join if they are already 20 days in!

hello! Just introducing myself! My girl will be 6 months old tomorrow! I am struggling big time to lose baby weight. No real helpful ideas for exercise, but wanted to say hello! You can friend me if you'd like!

Friday mornings only. Like a PP said, If i weight more than that, I get obsessed with the fluctuations, even though I KNOW they are normal.

Nope.. I went into labor in the middle of the night. I didn't think to eat anything because I was in the ZONE. When I went to the hosptial they said nothing but jello and popsicles but I didn't feel like eating at that point. After 18 hours in labor, I ended up with a C section. It was 2 days until I could eat again. Those…

I forgot that I joined this group.. so glad I "rediscovered" it! Prepregnancy: 157 40 Wks Pregnant: 196 7 days PP: 170 (-26 lbs) and I'm UP two lbs from there now!! I'm really struggling to lose 15 or so lbs.

Nothing even remotely pointing to labor for me. I'm 38+4 today.. 10 days until my due date. But I do have HORRIBLE hip pain. The muscle in my butt cheek ACHES.

LOL! I love it! Still waiting here... 10 days until my due date.

I just can't believe they let you go 9 days past your due date!! EEK! That seems like such a long time.

As of yesterday (37+1) I am up a total of 35 lbs. I have a 3.5 lb gain this week! I had a lot of bad food, and salt. I really need to stop and cut back or it's just going to keep happening like this. I know the end if probably the worst, but If I see 200 lbs, i'll probably cry. For me that'd be 43 lbs gained. Right now i'm…

i'm at a total of 31 lb right now at 36+2. Hoping to keep below 35, but under 40 would be great. Cant' believe my original goal was only 25 lbs. I have no idea how anyone does it.

You are doing great Amy! We are getting pretty close now.. luckily we should lose about 20 right away! Quickest weight loss ever.. LOL

Yes Tigger! I'm betting i'll see 195 before this is over.. My swelling is pretty bad. I'll cry if I hit 200. I'm not even kidding.

SW: 157 35+1: 186.6 Total gained: 29.6 Was really hoping to stay under 25 lb.. now 35 lbs. We will see. 5 weeks left.

I'm 35+1 today.. From last week to this week, I actually lost 0.4 so that makes my weight gain 29.6 lbs. I'm guessing that I lost some of that water weight that I gained.. Either way. I'm not upset.

Hello! Thanks for adding me! I am Brittany and i'm 27 years old. I'm expecting my first child (a girl) on June 22nd! I am 35+1 today!

Oh Tigger, I wish my DH would do it, but he goes to bed at 7pm! I haven't even sat down at that point. He has to get up at 3:30am and commute to work. We hardly see eachother during the week.

No Tigger, I've never seen one, and frankly can't afford it. I try to keep my feet up as much as I can, but it's hard at work 8 hours a day. I sit all day at work so when I get home, I am tired of sitting. last night I was in the nursery for awhile doing stuff. I am just going to be swollen from here on out, I suppose.

Wish this baby would drop!! She's living in my ribs and it's so painful!

From week 32-33 I had NO gain and held steady at 25 lbs gained.. from week 33-34, I gained 5 LBS!!!! That takes me up to 30 lbs gained with 40 days remaining until my due date. I think my goal of gaining less than 35 is impossible now, seeing that my swelling is taking over.
