I get a burrito bowl with 1/2 the normal rice (brown) and load it up with the veggies. I get sour cream and guac on the side so I can control how much I use. DELICIOUS!

I would do both - swim cap and special shampoo. Your hair will still get a little wet in the cap, but nothing like dunking your hair in the pool to keep swimming. Also, after you remove your cap, don't go underwater :)

I always used ultraswim!
-
If there's no other option and I have to circle swim, I'll alter my workout plans so I'm doing shorter distances and not passing as many times. Typically most swimmers at my pool are considerate of each other and we can make it work just fine and I have NO PROBLEM - but when someone isn't considerate and pushes off right…

Is there any way anyone can video you swimming so you can watch yourself? People could tell me about a stroke flaw a trillion times, but until I could SEE it, then I didn't really realize how to fix it. Since you know what fly should look like (on youtube, etc), perhaps comparing that to a video of yourself may help you. I…

Glad you're giving swimming a try again :) Hopefully you find a pool near you where you can swim!
-
You're nicer than me, haha - I never ask (unless someone is sitting on the wall when I walk up). I make it clear I intend to get in that lane by putting my equipment bag down and standing at the end of the lane adjusting my cap and goggles. If that lady had the nerve to stop me and tell me to move, I would probably need…

So....I've reminded many of my pregnant friends here that initial weight gain is alot of hormones and water weight and a changing body. Somehow I can't remember my own advice when it comes to myself because I'm flipping out a bit...I'm up 9 pounds and I'm 9 weeks and my goal was a max of 25 for the entire pregnancy. I'm…

that's great louann! so glad everything went well :) I think seeing our little babies on the ultrasound makes it all seem more real! are you in your brother's wedding?!!? hopefully you don't have a dress you need to fit into :) what a great month for your family!
-
I'm so sorry this happened :( I know its scary, but ill be praying you are okay. I wish I had some words of comfort for you, but please let us know how you are doing.
-
I'm pregnant - I can help you with HCG :)

Brett for president!!!!! :)
-
This is awesome!!! I love it :) Congrats you two!
-
I can't lie...I just got tears in my eyes at my desk at work over this story!! Disclaimer: it could be my pregnancy hormones, hahaha, but what a sweet story!!! Edited to add my proposal story - I was in Europe for 2 weeks, and the night I returned my husband proposed because he said those two weeks made him realize he…
-
yeah - good call. my regular doctor used to take it at the beginning and end of the appointment for that very reason - always a HUGE difference!! it's just nerves :)
-
coco - I'm actually not sure why! They didn't mention any specific reason - I know they wanted me to come back to talk about the prenatal screenings and stuff, but I'm not sure what the reason for an ultrasound is. They said I should have them around 12 wks, 16 (gender, but we aren't doing that one), and 20, and then a few…
-
1985Freckle - I'm glad your doctor is working with you and not just believing what the test said!! I hope your next appointment will confirm what you've believed all along :) We had our first ultrasound today! I measured at 7 weeks on the dot...such a sweet little heart beat. Due date moved to Jan 24th now - I go back in 3…
-
What a relief! So thankful everything is okay :)
-
you look AMAZING!!!!! such great progress!!
-
I'm glad everything was okay for you yesterday at the doctor's office!!! And so exciting to hear the heartbeat :) I can't wait!! As for the forums - I think it's healthy for women to be able to post there about their loss and get support from others who have been in the same boat or may be sympathetic. So, I'm glad they…
-
I'm in the same boat as many of you - still can't believe it's real, but we have our first ultrasound tomorrow so that should make me feel better! I'm always worried something might go wrong - I think part of that is due to reading babycenter and wte forums...some posts make me a worry wart, so I'm having to stay away for…
-
ditto what mpederson said! I'm currently pregnant and am eating at mantenance in the first trimester, around 2400 for me. I plan to bump it up to 2700 in the second trimester. are you currently doing any exercise? I find that helps keep my body a bit happier during all of this transitioning! congrats on your pregnancy :)
-
YUM!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I never thought of this before....sounds great!
-
because I already have issues with shame and food, so having someone call me out (which has happened before) doesn't help that AT ALL. currently my diary is open, but it was close for awhile before that bc I wasn't comfortable.
-
I think you've gotten some great responses here on the hair loss and it appears to be directly related. I just want to say I think it's very brave of you to be open and honest here, and I think that's a great step. Being willing to talk to your doctor is another step in the right direction towards recovery. My best friend…
-
I had NO idea your name is rebecca!!!! too funny :) and YES full recovery is possible!!!!
-
I am hot 24/7 in summer and winter so I will prob be wearing short sleeves even in winter, haha...
-
You're welcome! I think I ordered 5 shirts and 2 pair of lazy pants...oops! Haha, but I'll need them, right?!?!? and if they're on sale...even better!
-
Will ask the fam tonight :) Keep in mind, though, that they had theirs done 10+ years ago so recovery may be different now, but I'll ask!!
-
my sister in law is the same way - she's 22 and has huge boobs that cause her alot of back pain. she's been going through the motions to do everything to get insurance to pay for her surgery - seeing a chiropractor who documents that a breast reduction would help, etc. she wants to finish up her master's before doing the…
