Dixiejo, I'm so sorry! I really know your pain as I recently went through this myself. Going to send you a pm

Sorry I haven't checked in recently. I have my NT ultrasound tomorrow and I'm nervous. Everyone is doing so great, I have been reading everyday. I hope to spend a good half of the next year with this group. Happy holidays!

Hmmm I read daily but don't post daily. Maybe this needs to change? Batgirlrox - how exciting you might be feeling the baby move! Sas/Sarah - your binges sound lovely! It is hard to control the eating, especially with DH egging you on Elizabeth - thinking happy baby thoughts for you! Nicole - hoping your little one comes…

AFM - so far, so good. Time is still crawling by till my NT ultrasound on the 29th but I snuck a peak at work and the baby was MOVING! It was too neat! :happy: Also finally getting the home doppler I bought to pick up the heartbeat, which I am going to rely on for reassurance until the 29th. I will probably not get away…

Catching up here! andreamichell, that’s exciting you were able to get pregnant on your own! Congrats! :happy: breezy, ho coordinated do you have to be for that salsa cd? I took a salsa class once and had to drop it! jaimesco – that’s amazing that you lost so much and ran a marathon! Congrats! Ashley, what a beautiful pic…

stellcorb, how did things go with your boss? And one pound? You are NOT allowed to complain! welcome and congrats to kellyrorie! rayna, you are positively glowing! Crocheting seems like a perfect way to bond with the MIL jchecca- sorry to hear about the gas but at least you didn’t get it so bad until this late, I already…

Babeed/Denise, the hair is looking good! Seems like an easy style for a new mamma too! I do not, as a policy, wear heels. LOL BB/Ashley – congrats on the successful shower, that’s scary about the fall though. Gotta be careful at your stage. No more socks without grips! Kristy_estes, so glad to hear you are coping as well…

Taldie, I'm sorry about the weight gain but at least that was the most upsetting thing that happened. Maybe your weight will balance out and/or you are retaining lots of water. Just keep up the exercise and healthy eating as best you can. Batgirlfox, I can't believe you get so much time off, I'm jealous! When was your…

Here's my bio thing: Name: Melissa Hubby/Partner: Rory How many kids do you have: None Due Date: July 10, 2012 How far along are you: 8 weeks 3 days by US Do you know the gender: Nope Babies Name: Waiting until we know gender Where do you live (if you want to share): N. Cali Workouts you are doing while pregnant: strength…

BB/Ashley, where does 1800 cals put you as opposed to what you normally eat? With exercise it's still under maintenance for me per my body media. Just wondering if you can gain on that amount. That's a great story about you and your hubby! Kristin sounds like you are doing great with staying active! Enjoy your decorating!…

boy am I behind! Thanks to all for the welcome nkster, good luck on your glucose test. Loving the bump! kristy, I sent you a private message. Hope you are managing! :brokenheart: babeed, I hope things are getting better for you. You are doing great! bmfrazie, how scary! lunarokra, I'm sure your gain was water weight over…

Ladies - I'd like to go ahead a re-join the group. Some of you that are 20+ weeks may remember you passed me by when I miscarried in September. :frown: But I'm fortunate enough to have gotten pregnant again and I am 8 weeks along! I am getting serial hcgs each week and so far so good, I am going to have an ultrasound on…

I'm totally stalking you ladies. I remember a lot of you from when I was in the group before, you are all doing well and look great! Can't wait to see a picture of Charlee! Hope to have a success story myself next year. :smile:

Sorry I disappeared, I was afraid to say I got a BFP, as if that would jinx it. But it's been more and more positive each time, so I'm fessing up. :happy: Hubby and I are trying not to get our hopes up until after the 1st trimester, but I'm grateful I was able to conceive again so quickly. I do want to weigh in on the…

ooh, definitely take it easy and go to the doctor. Are you on antibiotics already? blood streaking usually means damage to the lungs from bronchitis or pneumonia, no more exercise for you for a while! Dexter's, how did you find the willpower to wait a week after your period was due to test? It looks positive to me I have…

Omg congratulations! I hope this baby sticks for you and we on see you around these parts for a while! (meant that in the nicest way :laugh: )

It seems like so of you eat 2000+ because of your lifestyle/high metabolism, and everyone else is putting in crazy burns to get to a certain calorie burns of 1000+. This generates a few questions I hope some of you will answer: Do you think there is a difference between being metabolically blessed and working out a ton…

I just finished a killer buns and thighs challenge. The DVD is tough but effective! I can't seem to get not jogging but I will expand my elliptical time... What are you supposed to do each month while awaiting AF? Just pretend like nothing is happening until you miss your period? Or avoid alcohol and sushi and chug…

My thighs are so sore! They hurt when I walk! But I am going to push and do it again tomorrow cause I am going away for the weekend. I am swollen from muscle soreness so I am going to stick to cardio while away and take official measurements on Sunday. Probably not much difference number wise but I feel and look stronger.…

Kaitlin, one thing that may help your periods and fertility is a little weight gain. you look like you are pretty lean, since your body is dependent on fat for estrogen production once you hit a certain level your periods get irregular and ovulation ceases to occur most cycles. I would actually try gaining at least 5lbs…

I have a hate love relationship with level 3. It hurts and I am drenched in sweat, but I like how the 4th circuit focuses on strength while taking advantage of the afterburn. I'm another softee that loves her speeches, I had tears during the ripped in 30 finale. My butt is looking lifted, hubby is impressed! My pants fit…

I used to have an iron stomach, never got nauseated until the pregnancy. Now even after I miscarried my stomach is still upset half the time. It's not fair! :sad:

I love steak and salad, to split the difference with the low gi camp I say a baked sweet potato and large salad or grilled veggies. Not a big peas fan....

Ok, I gotta jump in somewhere and start commenting, so here I go: Leyla, thanks! It does feel like I'm hounded by babies in N. Cali too! I miscarried during a quick trip to Canada and the whole flight back there was a baby just cooing and laughing the whole time, strangers probably thought I was bizarre to cry to no reason…

That's awesome, i never heard of anyone else! They wanted to do a d and c to restart her periods (?), but she insisted on an ultrasound and there I was. And she had pseudocyesis on her chart. I now tell my colleagues to be careful before they make that diagnosis!

Just don't mention it! If you think you're ovulating just seduce him, most men will respond to hints or prancing around half naked. Mine will use any excuse, so it doesn't matter for me :tongue: I think we should all be focused on fun sex and the big O, it increases your chances of pregnancy!

Bump - so can I get a roll call of what workouts we are all doing this week? I'm doing Killer Buns n Thighs

Grays girl, I really appreciate your way of looking at things. This week got busy and I got sick so I fell behind on this thread. Been doing pretty well with exercise and eating, though I'm not sure about honey and I need it with lemon for my throat right now. Where did everyone else go?

Lets not fall behind! I need you girls!!!! Fit for Fall - 10-10/ 10-15 Copy and paste the following into your reply: Last Week's Weight: about 132 This Week's Weight: about 132 Weight lost last week: about 0 1. Overall how do you feel about your progress last week? Can't freaking lose weight! But getting stronger, made…

Ok, I think I'm ready to join now. I miscarried at 10 weeks the 1st of September and tried to join this group the next week but just trying to fill out the info I started crying hysterically. I am finally calm about it, but really want to be pregnant again Age: 33 Where you live: northern Cali Job: ER doctor Length of time…
