Hey welcome to the group. I started off doing a lot of fitnessblender low impact videos, now that my belly is getting bigger I am doing pilates, and walking, and walking workout videos, all on youtube. Congrats on your first pregnancy!

Hi everyone! I am currently 21 weeks pregnant, weighing in at about 167 at 5' 6". About 3 weeks ago, I was 164, my pre pregnancy weight was around 155 lbs, but my first trimester I had terrible morning sickness and my first weigh in at the docs was actually 143. If I base my weight gain on my original pre pregnancy weight…

About 6 years ago I tried phentermine, but I didn't use it long because my mouth would be so dry, if I can remember, I got headaches and was dizzy, and it really curbed my hunger. I once didn't eat for like 3 days, lost 10 lbs really fast and i got really sick and didn't want to take them any more. Obviously I wasn't being…

I love Fitnessblender, with their videos, and the insanity program, I lost over 60 lbs in a reasonable amount of time. I was addicted to Fitnessblender because they have tons of different workouts and I love the calorie burn bar. I am now pregnant for the third time and I am still using their workouts. I am doing more of…

I used to do fitnessblender 1000 calorie workouts at least one of my 5 workout days. I often burned more than that though, about 1200, I used a wrist hr monitor/calorie tracker, it was on the wrist so I constantly checked my hr since it doesn't constantly track it like a chest strap. I read somewhere that you get a more…

Very fun, and breath, don't hold your breath with each hit. Thumb on the outside of fist not the inside lol...hey some do...

When I was overweight at 180 and more I was in a C I believe. When I got down to 145 to 150 I was in a B, borderline A! I didn't like it but I'd rather not be overweight. Everyone's different but I can assure a loss of 100 lbs would Def effect the boobs...at least I think

After reading your post, I went back about a year and a half into my food diary where I was sometimes eating, 1100-1600 calories a day and burning over 600 calories a day too. Sometimes doing fitnessblender 1000 calorie workouts or 800 CALORIE Insanity workouts. Now that I look back I'm like how did I do that! I really had…

I have 2 kids 6 and 4, and one on the way. I can understand how it may be a little difficult working full time and losing like you want, but it's Def possible. I give alot of credit to the fact that I became a stay at home mom to my weight loss because my I didn't have to worry about when I can fit in a workout, work,…

I took spirulina back when I was losing weight, I took it in capsule form to avoid tasting it. If you read on it there are many benefits to it, but some think you can get the same benefits by food as well, which is true also.

Just eat what you want but you still have to watch calories if you are trying to maintain or lose. I don't torture myself by not eating stuff I like. Moderation/portion control is key, they say. Not to say you won't go over every now and then, it won't be the end of the world.

Wow that's alot. Starting today, I was aiming for a gallon a day but I'm having trouble with just that. I am at 3.5 pints. Almost halfway. Sometimes I really crave water and drink a whole lot without thinking twice but it has to be ice cold , and sometimes it seems like a chore. I had no idea you can overdose on water,…

Squats Def help. Fitnessblender has a lot of lower body and booty routines.

Lol, See if your parents will hide it for you till your ready.

I must join you lol. I'm kicking out juice and coffees (these 500 calorie mocha frappes are killing me) but if my caffiene headaches kick in I may have to cheat with unsweetened ice tea

Feeling that way seems to be the norm. I know I did no matter how many compliments I recieved, I just couldn't believe it. With time and a new well fitting wardrobe my confidence was restored.

Running on the treadmill and accidentally passed gas! I didn't know how loud it was because I had on headphones, I had people on both sides of me too, no reactions so couldn't have been too loud...smh FAIL

Lol I can relate, I use to have a hard time doing modified push ups, then I noticed during and after the INSANITY program I was able to not only do modified push ups but regular ones too and more advanced type push ups further on. Not saying to do Insanity but slowly but surely if you continue to work on your upper body…

I like to do my cardio first, but either way doesn't matter. It's just my personal preference.

My kids love snacks too but sometimes I just have to say no. I feed them breakfast yet they still want a snack right after, lunch, then they want another snack, dinner than another snack. They want snacks even when not hungry lol Don't get me wrong I let them have a fruit roll up and like 2 cookies at most in one day but…

Mine like to workout with me, but when they are over it, I ask them to go in their playroom till I'm done, luckily we have multiple living areas. Sometimes they listen, sometimes they don't lol...they are 6 and 4.

at 150 lbs 5 foot 6 I mostly wore a size 6/8. Medium shirts

I totally agree. sorry to those who were offended by my statement of "A lot of MFP members Who are not pregnant or have never had kids don't seem to understand The concerns of pregnant women And are quick to judge so having the support of other pregnant MFP members would be great." I was looking for other mfp pregnant…

Just saying, you 3 happen to find all my post and completely shut them down and respond negatively. I call that purposely seeking my posts, ESPECIALLY, if these posts are directed to pregnant women and none of you are.

Why do you seek all my posts to say something negative? I purposely looked for pregnancy posts to have members who can relate to my concerns why is this such an issue with you?

E Exactly what I meant by judgemental. ..hard to post anything about anything on mfp when your pregnant...not sure what you think is dangerous about gaining the recommended 1 lb a week and eating a 2520 calorie diet, but to each their own I can't keep letting people like you make me feel a certain type of way. But concern…

Hi there. I'm 18 weeks pregnant, third baby. I am using MFP to ensure I don't gain too much weight this pregnancy like I did before. my first trimester I had my calorie goal set to maintain my weight. I am now in my second trimester and changed it to .5 pounds a week but was still hungry at this setting and I would tend to…

Ok everyone let's let the thread die like it did years ago. sorry that it bothered some so bad...guess it's not worth talking bout...
