A little about myself - I consider myself a lifelong runner and have been running since high school. I recently completed my 2nd marathon back in December right before becoming pregnant. Also before finding out I was pregnant (end of December) I signed up and paid for a half marathon that is happening this Sunday -March…

Thanks! This really helps to put me at ease. My next appt is March 20th, so I will mention it to my physician and see what she says!

Hi all, I had also posted in the other September thread, but since this does seem more active I will post here too! I am 14 weeks pregnant with my husband's and my first child :) we are very excited and our EDD is 9/9/14. My first trimester was exhausting! I had nausea, food aversions, and fatigue. Now that my second is…

A couple months into my pregnancy my normal 34 Cs were no longer fitting, I went to the maternity store and after she measured me she told me I was a DD... The look of shock on my face must have been apparent because she looked back and asked if I was ok... Though not quite as hard to find as the larger cup sizes you are…

Great idea! I also want to do cloth diapers as well. I have a friend who keeps a thermos of warm water and a paper towel-like cloth near the changing station and just uses that for baby wipes when she is at home.

Hi all! I'm due early September (9th). I am in the middle of my 10th week and have had morning sickness (mostly in the form of nausea and only a little vomiting), Exhaustion (whoo am I tired all the time!) and headaches :( I have actually lost about 3 lbs since finding out I am pregnant, mostly do to the nausea and the…

I'm due early September (sorry to crash the thread! but no one has started a September one). I am just really happy to be reading all your experiences! I am in the middle of my 10th week and have had morning sickness (mostly in the form of nausea and only a little vomiting), Exhaustion (whoo am I tired all the time!) and…

New goals for this month... gain 1 - 2 lbs. I found out last month that I am pregnant :) So far I have been able to maintain my current weight for the first two months, but today I was down 2 lbs. So by the end of this month (and the end of my 1st trimester) I would like to get back up at least a pound. Goal: Eat healthy,…

Thanks for all the support! Since I am fairly early in my pregnancy I have not yet had the chance to talk to a doctor yet. I went yesterday to get my OBGYN referral and confirm the pregnancy. Got the call today to schedule my first appt and am excited to say it will be next Thursday :) Oh and while I was originally…

Thanks! Glad to hear I am not the only one! and awesome job to you both for losing weight from your last pregnancies!

It is a little hard to find the easiest way I found it was to go to the groups tab, search for "a goal a month" and refine your search to most active (default is most members) here is our group image:

For those of you who are also looking for the group on MFP the easiest way to find it is to go to the groups tab, search for "a goal a month" and refine your search to most active (default is most members) here is our group image:

Yes! just add your info in each week.. also feel free to join the group "A goal a month" where we can motivate each other and share exercises and recipes!

Excited to see everyone so motivated!

Awesome! Glad to see all the new faces!

Yay! glad to have you on board! Just add your name and weight and goals to the sheet!

Hi Liz! Eating on a budget can be difficult! I feel that it is that much harder to stay on track when buying fresh healthy ingredients can cost $10+ just for one person and buying a McChicken or McDouble is only $1 from McDonald! For me I've found that when I've had the best success is when I have had a plan and or…

↑ this! A friend of mine once got really sick and lost a lot of weight and appetite because of it... her doctor told her to eat two big spoonfuls a day! Also nutella or Justins nut butters are a tasty treat too that will do the trick with similar protein ratios as PB! I also agree with all the avocado votes too!

If you can do it go for it! Personally I hate tracking water and I suck at doing it ... even when it is part of a challenge. I just try to drink when I am thirsty and I pretty much stick to water for my fluids

This year: work on speed in general: Sub 25 5k (would ideally like to get closer to my high school race day pace of 7 min miles) Sub 2 hour half (signed up for one in March)

Congrats! and feel free to add me! I just got married this last September and was able to use MFP to lose 28 lbs by the wedding. Unfortunately after the wedding, and honeymoon and now holidays I gained about 12 back .. so I want to start losing again too! Feel free to add!

fell behind last week as life took hold :/

Add 6 for 8/18

a little behind in logging my total is about 45 miles so far- August 9- 3 August 10-5 August 11-11 August 14-6 August 15-3

I'd like to sign up for 125 miles in August So far done 17

Not so much mantras... but I do hear my old high school coaches in my head - usually when coming up to a hill I can hear them say "Drive with the knees" "Pump with your arms" "Keep your eyes on the target" "Breath"

I only have 136 miles planned for August... but as I get closer to my Marathon date 200 will be more like it!

I do run with a lot of gear... but for good reason - the phone is on my arm and its for safety and for tracking milage via runtastic. I also run with a water belt - this is not just for me but my dogs too I have a bottle for me and one for them :). The only other thing I run with is the leashes for the dogs - if I could…

My goal is to run 130 miles this month and to lose 8 lbs... would like to be below the 130s for my wedding in september

Finished July with a 5 mile run leaving me at 75 completed miles, 5 miles short of my July goal
