Chunky & pregnant
So... I just found out I'm pregnant. Just about 10 weeks to be more specific.

What are you doing for exercise right now? How far along are you?…

Put down the damn Twinkie!!
My new idea for gauging hunger seems to help and I thought I'd pass it along! Start with a 10 scale. Gauge your how hungry you are on that scale. I don't want to get above a 4.
