Cooking light cook books list nutritional value and are usually low calorie.

aprilytom@hotmail.com anybody can add me too, all my fitbir friends quit on me :(

A lot. U drink a lot too. But tend to crave salt and suger before period. I usualy cant weigh myself till period ends or itas all wonky.

Eat at manintnace. Your body wont need the extra 300 cal because of the extra weight your already carrying. Enjoy your pregnancy!

If you were eating vegetables you were getting calcium, lots of greens like broccoli are high in calcium.

I had a small separation after my second child, it does go back together but takes time, the only ab work I was able to do was planks, no sit up/crunches as that can make the separation worse. You can Google exercises that can help with the healing.

I'm 5ft2 20weeks and I average around 2300 a day for maintenance calories. I started pregnancy overweight so I'm only supposed to gain between 15 and 25 lbs. My weight is right on track at the moment. Your maintenance sounds about right to me. ( I also walk daily for about 1.33 miles.

I actually just looked up their website and they have a create a meal option so you can know what you are eating. :)

Can you look on their website? Quite a few restaurants have nutrition information on their sites now, that way you can pick what you want ahead of time and now the information on it.

Do you know of any low calorie high protein foods? All I have here are peanut butter, eggs, I do put meat on my sandwich, and always have meat for dinner.

I newest addition is a year, and I just started using this again Add me I also need some motivation!

it kinda looks like diastasis reci of the upper abdominal. I got it after i had given birth to my babies both times. Lay down with your back on the floor and slightly lift your head. then feel your abdomen to see if there is a separation.

I'm 5' 2" 3/4 and currently weigh 151 my goal for right now is 137 but that could change the more i loose. I don't actually know how low of a weight i can get to. my measurements right now are 39 -35 -38.5

Talk to your doctor, but you shouldn't count calories while pregnant. Eat healthy foods in frequent small amounts and drink a lot of water. Your not going to be able to maintain your weight while pregnant you are going to gain, but that is what your body is supposed to do.

Honestly it could be the breastfeeding, try increasing your calories 200-300 to eat back what you would burn breastfeeding. According to MFP and other calculators i need to eat 1500-1600 a day to lose weight but i wasn't losing being so low because I'm breastfeeding, once i increased my calories to 1800 I started loosing…

... Vegetables? Haha sorry I had to but seriously carrots, or celery with peanut butter are good snacks both are pretty low cal you could also substitute peanut butter for another type of nut butter or humus. Snap peas are yummy too.

Hmm neither one is over done, the other isn't done enough :( But like others if i had to i would pic number 2

I didn't think about that, its a good idea though. I don't know if I could have done that though, my son takes a long time to eat and if I didn't throw it away I probably would have been taking bites here and there :( will power I have little of, but I'm working on it.

Well if you measured your chest, waist, and hips. your didn't lose anything in your chest, you probably lost some in your tummy which is below the waist measurement and you didn't loose anything in your hips. Your probably lost the weight in your thighs and tush.

Thanks for the suggestion you guys, I do know why I'm stress eating, I'm going threw a tough time right now, but that does not excuse it. Thankfully I have noticed the problem and I will continue to keep track of what I eat, and try and get rid of the unhelpful foods although its hard right now because its the holidays and…

I normally only have healthy food and snacks in my house and I usually end up eating those, its still unneeded but it isn't as bad as right now, I baked some cookies with my son the other day and I only have 3 left, my son only ate 2.

I wish I could go to bed earlier but unfortunately I'm mom of a three year old and 9 month old. They go to bed at 8 and I go to bed at 10.

I dont know what erithrytol is but xylitol is a natural sweetener that is good for your teeth and helps protect against cavities.

your goal is too high, its healthy to aim for .5 to1 pound a week lost.
