I went to the dr this week I was up 2 lbs by my 15 week appointment. I'm up 13lbs total at week 20. I was definitely eating sweets a ton. Wake up call to cut that out. I'm ok with healthy weight gain but not excessive gains from poor eating choices.

At 15 weeks I was up 2 lbs. I'm trying not to weigh at home, so I'm going to see on Thursday what I am now at my drs appointment. My guess is I'm up 7lbs total. I'll be 20 weeks on Tuesday

Hi there. I'm about 20 weeks along. I started out about 5 lbs overweight (had been on a 7 month weight loss journey before getting pregnant) I'm trying to gain a healthy amount of weight. I wasn't logging at first because I was so sick it was all carbs and honestly I wasn't eating much. Now that I'm back to feeling better…

Hi there!! Feel free to add me. I am currently almost 20 weeks pregnant. I'm trying to stay moving and eat healthy. I know at 15 weeks I was only up 2 lbs. I go this coming Thursday I think I'll be up at least 5 more but we will see. I'm trying to not weigh in at home

Yes! Grotto falls! I wish we lived closer. It's about a 10 hour drive from our house there. But id love to get there again to hike more!

I'm a dental hygienist.

Mine does. It's just significantly lower than when doing cardio. That being said. Depending on which piyo workout I'm doing. I burn anywhere from 80-250 calories in the 20-40 minutes.

I have it. I don't follow it daily, just add it in 1-2 days a week to my gym schedule. I'm not very flexible and I do notice a difference in my flexibility when I do it.

I use my heart rate monitor. I got an inexpensive polar. It makes tracking exercise so much easier

Get outside!!! It's hot right now (I live in Chicagoland as well- and ran the Chicago marathon in the past) the race has a history of having very hot days! If you're in Chicago hit up the lake front path, if you're in the suburbs try the prairie path. But I would transition your run to completely outside ASAP.

You're either 1) eating too little or 2) are you measuring your food/weighing it? If you're guessing you may be eating a lot more than you think. Maybe try for 1400-1500 calories a day and see what happens. Under 1200 calories is not recommended bc it's not enough

My punctuation was off. It meant to say most people eat a piece of fruit. NOT take a bite, wait, take a bite, wait. Where as drinking (not for everyone but for many people) they sip over an extended period of time.

Did you misunderstand me? I said most people don't eat like that. Which is why fruit doesn't typically cause issues.

If you were snacking on them constantly and keeping your mouth in an acidic state then yes it could cause issues. Most people just eat a piece of fruit though and not take a bite. Wait 5 or so min take another bite. Most people sip on their soda

It's not the artificial sugar with diet soda but the overall pH. Sugar is bad for your teeth bc the bacteria in our mouth consume that sugar and the byproduct is acid. Acid is what creates holes in your teeth. That being said. You can cause the problem with sugar. Or acid. Constant exposure to Gatorade, pop, etc. anything…

Its not great for you. But it's your life. As a dental hygienist I can only tell you what awful damage you are doing to your teeth. It takes your mouth 20 minutes to buffer the pH back to neutral. so every time you take a sip it's bringing the pH down. And the amount you are having a day is quite a bit. If you were my…

My work week lunches. I typically pre make half sandwhichs. I use a sprouted wheat or whole grain bread. And turkey lunch meat. I put them in sandwhich bags and into a freezer ziplock and into the freezer. Then in the morning before work I just grab it (plus I buy preservative free lunch meat from Costco- I couldn't finish…

I've heard about intermittent fasting from Dr Mercola. If the plan in the book I got doesn't work I may try that.

My progress. Start 178 middle 156 still want to lose about 20 more

I am going to be doing it! Starting tomorrow! Im a little nervous about it actually

I am in a similar boat- I did a big WLJ a few years back loosing 50 lbs. I now have 20 of those lbs back on and am looking to loose them. I am 28 as well- and I too do not like what is looking back at me in the mirror. I am also going on vacation in a few months and dont want to be down in the dumps about being in a…

I am looking to lose about 20 lbs myself and would love to know more people on here! Feel free to add me!

Bad idea to run in them. Im sure you've already gotten that message from everyone else's posts. There was actually a class action lawsuit with those shoes. I had a pair just for wearing at work- and I ended up getting a bruise on the top of my foot from those shoes- I think the tongue hit my foot funny, so I stopped…
