Just saw this - I know I'm late but I submitted an application. Did this (or something similar? I don't recognize any names now) several years ago, and am in need of new motivation, so going to get in now or next term :)

Well I did end up getting induced last week. (I still didn't technically have preeclampsia, but i was starting to get protein in my urine, and my blood pressure was still running high, so they decided it'd be better to go ahead and get her out while everything was still normal :) ) fortunately, everything went smoothly at…

The doc mentioned preeclampsia, but blood pressure is the only symptom of that I'm showing, so I think they've pretty much ruled it out. On the other hand, high blood pressure is not good, regardless of what condition is causing it, so they're keeping an eye on it. I think if that starts fairly stable, they'll let me just…

Oh, goodness Suzanne! Hope everything is okay for you. i went into the Dr. yesterday, and my blood pressure was really high again - they ran some labs and said if they came back abnormal, they might look at getting labor going soon ("even as early as today") - all the tests and stuff came back normal though, but I was told…

Hey, everyone. I really fell off the wagon with logging and everything because I got convinced I was over-obsessing about what I was eating and causing myself unneeded stress. But more lately, been feeling really unhealthy and stuff, so trying to get back into the swing of things. I'm at 37 weeks, and up until last week,…

summer8it (Summer), due 1 Sep, baby's gender unknown. Also have one son, age 12. katiebrew (Katie), due Sept 22 (with C-Section scheduled for Sept 16) with a baby girl :). Also have one son, age 22 months. NWright612 (Natalie), due October 27. We just found out a few weeks ago that we're having a girl. I just hit the six…

I guess I'm kinda jumping in late, but I'm just now joining the group. I'm about 18 weeks with my first; due date October 28th or so. Have a doctor's appointment in just over a week to find out if it's a boy or girl, so that's definitely exciting. :D Like many of you, hoping to use MFP to make sure I'm eating healthily and…

been using the fitbit for a few weeks, but just now trying to get some friends and motivation on there. I don't think I'll ever stop with MFP, so it makes sense to get friends who use both too. :) https://www.fitbit.com/user/36DK9Z

I would love to help; this challenge has been awesome! I'm working on a last few pounds, and entering into maintenance, so I've been wondering whether or not I should enroll next term - perhaps I've graduated into working there! ;)

that's amazing!!!! good job!

I'll play for Gryffindor! :D (or whichever house still has room...if any of them.. :/)

I joined in...january? december? I think it was after the holidays, so probably January. I like MFP a lot - it's easy to use, but it does put the emphasis on what you're putting in your body and how active you are, which is where I know the emphasis should be for getting in shape. I notice that I've been more mindful of…

I really like fitnessblender.com - they don't have a workout plan for free, but they do have TONS of workout videos, and you can search through them by type (cardio, strength training, etc.), and difficulty, so you could put together a workout plan that would work for you.

Hi! I work up in Harrison; my husband and I have been living here for just slightly over a year.

Most of the time I play now, it's just in a circle or something. I think I'd prefer playing on the sand though - it's a little more informal, and, as you said, it's a great workout!

I played volleyball throughout middle and high school, but not so much anymore. In middle school, we were doing good to get it over the net, so I didn't really have a position. Then in high school, I kinda got run through the gamut -- freshman year, I was a setter; sophomore year, I was a hitter (i think right side), and…

Today I did a standing abs workout - cardio and core. Unfortunately though, I got interrupted and didn't quite get to finish. still better than nothing though. :)

Hello, everyone. I don't remember how exactly I found fitness blender, but it was probably through just a youtube search for a good at home workout. I love their workout videos - very challenging, but also encouraging - as well as their focus on getting fit/in shape (rather than just losing weight/getting skinny). I've…
