Ha ok, thanks. Is the water rentention going to be ongoing, or is it just random?

Ok, logging this for the first time...here we go. Height: 5' 11" Age: 34 First Pregnancy Goal to Gain: 25-30lb Starting weight: 169 lb Week 14: 05/04: 172.8 (+3.8, +3.8) Week 15: 05/11: 176.0 (+3.2, +7) So...should I be concerned that I've already gained 7 lbs, 3.2 in just the last week?? It seems like a lot. This is my…

I'm due November 2, am just a few days past 11 weeks right now.

I've been into smoothies and oatmeal lately. I'm in love with the pumpkin praline instant oatmeal from Trader Joe's. I like to add 1/2 an apple, cut up into tiny pieces, into the bowl before I cook the oatmeal. The apples soften and sweeten while the oatmeal cooks. For smoothies, I usually do something like: Plain fat free…

I'm in - would love to get at least 10 down before the end of the year.

Oh great, thanks for sharing! I'll give it a go.

Love Hot Power Fusion!

Sounds good, just sent a request!

Checking in - today's weight is 161.4. No change. I really need to be more dilligent with my tracking - I do well during the day but then it goes downhill at night once I get home from work.

Can anyone recommend a good way to cut spaghetti squash in half (lengthwise)? I attempted to do it with a chef's night tonight, and it literally took 20 minutes and was rather scary. Wrong knife?

This is fantastic advice - I had never considered looking at things from this perspective. It will help me avoid things like what happened last night, wherein I ate a bunch of things I didn't need after dinner, for no real reason. Not the best way to start off this week's challenge, but I guess I can only go up from here!

Todays weight - 161.4

Thank you for the tips and words of encouragement. I really love this group! I am going to try your suggestions. I think a lot of the eating is out of habit and having a boyfriend with a big sweet tooth. It's hard to resist when he's eating sweets in front of me! I think I just need to remember my goals and the way I'll…

Thanks - I am really struggling with it! I think I also eat too much at dinner - not so great with the portion sizes for recipes that I make up. I'll let you know if I come up with anything that helps. Sometimes I nibble on frozen grapes and that works to an extent.

Hmm I just posted a blank quote post, so sorry. Still learning how to use the forums. Thank you for your words of encouragement. ziesergirl. I usually do pretty well with eating and logging during the day but then it kind of goes downhill when I get home at night and that is probably why the scale isn't moving. Does anyone…

Today's weight - 161.4. I didn't lose anything :( I think I need some help...

Does tea count as water?

Are you still accepting group members? This is my first group, and I could really use the motivation! SW 162 GW 150

I am newish and could also use some support. We can do it!

I love Trader Joe's All Natural Crunchy PB, especially on a brown rice cake - 1 tbsp goes a long way

Thanks for the ideas! I am trying to keep frozen red grapes on hand - they are sweet and take a while to eat. Tea is a good idea, I'm going to try it.

I've been doing the same thing and think having some buddies to help me be more consistent would be great - I'm in!
