Halfway - and Prediabetes Results
We'll see if I'm techy enough to post pix. :) I'm also halfway to my goal and have lost right around 40 lbs by eating mostly veggies and lean proteins. My main motivation for losing weight was that I was prediabetic and was told in no uncertain terms what life would be like if I continued down my path. My excuse for…

Overweight Children
I have a 12 year old son who is very overweight. While he has what I would think is a normal sweet tooth for a kid, he plays sports and is probably the most active of all my children. So when he kept gaining at an alarming rate, I took him to the doctor and found out that he has a thyroid problem. Now, however, he has a…

Any Obese Moms?
I see a bunch of skinny moms on the "How Much Weight Have You Gained" thread. Just curious if I'm the ONLY fat pregnant person in the world??

I'm a fat mom too ;)
I am on another pregnancy group, and realized that I was one of the VERY few on there who actually had a weight issue. You know how it goes. The third trimester "baby bump" photos look like a bit of PMS bloating to me. How do people do that?? I'm 43 (yes, older than dirt to be giving birth) and on my 8th pregnancy. #4…

Breastfeeding Calories
I'm nursing a 7 month old baby almost exclusively (she has about 1/2 jar of baby food per day). I know that I'm supposed to add some calories on for that, but not sure how many, and if it should decrease as she starts to eat more solids. Does anyone out there know? This is my 5th baby, and I have never been able to lose…
