Where are you gaining weight?
Other than our expanding bellies and fun bags, where else are you putting on extra pounds? I've noticed my legs feel a lot bigger. They also feel pretty solid, just... bigger, and my pants (which miraculously still fit at 18 weeks) are tighter in the thighs and calves. Also my back and bra line. My arms however, feel the…

Vegans/Veggies
Newly pregnant (very newly!) and looking for some vegan and vegetarian friends. Anyone out there? I am vegetarian but the majority of my meals are vegan. I would ideally like to keep this up during my pregnancy and am looking for support. Thanks!

Heart Rate
I'm only 6 weeks along and haven't had the chance to meet with a doctor yet so I'm putting this question out to you ladies. Any recommendations for a target heart rate while preggers? A girlfriend of mine got the advice from her doc not to bring it up above 140. Is that true for most people? I feel like that's low. 140 is…

Anyone still here?

I said things will happen to her in the next few days and life will continue as normal, but people may be kinder if they knew what you were…

C25K on Vacation
I'm going for a week long vacation in Florida next week (yea!) and I'm in the middle of C25K, doing week 5. Do I tackle week 6 while on vacation? OR do I just repeat week 5 when I come back? I will be in a very safe area and the temp should be warm but not too bad. What do you think? I think I'm physically capable of it, I…

Its not happening for me
No weight loss! My diary is open and I've been on the right track for about 3 weeks now. I'm vegetarian and feel that I eat pretty healthy. I know my sodium levels are sometimes too high. I drink plenty of water and sleep well. I eat back my exercise calories (I feel I have to, feel very sick otherwise and can tell I'm not…

food weight vs volume
Food weight vs volume is something I've alwasy struggled to understand. I weigh all of my food for proper logging. So lets say I'm eating black beans. Am I measuring 4 oz by weight or volume for the most accurate logging? Thanks in advance.
