I was lucky to be skinny from a great metabolism, but thanks to getting older, having hypothyroidism and IF treatments I have gained too much weight and have many of the same goals that you do. These sound great. GOOD LUCk!

I went into this pregnancy OUT of shape and trying to lose weight but I got pregnant before that happened. I've gained five pounds already and it's freaking me out. I DON'T want to be obsessed with the scale my entire pregnancy so I vowed to myself to just eat healthier (cut WAY back on Cheetos, pizza and m-n-m's in the process, LOL!) and I *hope* to not go gain-crazy (this is my first pregnancy). I give you credit for making this change! Skinny, overweight, whatever, it is great for all of us to eat RIGHT. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620726426762951650.post-85807269694374477072009-01-29T10:32:00.000-08:002009-01-29T10:32:00.000-08:00I giggle at how much we're parallel with each othe...I giggle at how much we're parallel with each other right now, I have a plan of going to the health food store and buying healthy junk food, hey, it's a start, right?<BR/>I've committed to doing Yoga stretches every night before bed (and Keegls) which helps me sleep better, and to go work out at the gym at least once a week, I'll stretch, walk for 10-20 min, lift a couple weights, and I'm done.<BR/>I'm also marking all my food I eat on Babyfit.com. It helps keep things in perspective for me, I over do everything, if I eat - I over eat, if I don’t eat, I don’t eat anything, I'm either a 400 or 4000 cal dieter. So it helps me eat more or less when needed. I don’t want to gain the 57lb I gained with Dylan either.Birdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12587791461051428059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620726426762951650.post-48910099418596396332009-01-28T22:42:00.000-08:002009-01-28T22:42:00.000-08:00I knew without you even saying anything that you w...I knew without you even saying anything that you were a skinny bitch.

That's really all that matters.<BR/><BR/>I was always thin in adolescence and into my 20s. Then I discovered good food and fine wine, and gained a few pounds. Too much work, no working out. Not a good combo.<BR/><BR/>I ended up losing weight during my first pg during the 1st and 2nd trimesters because of the all-day sickness and food aversions. It was NOT my goal, but even that and BF left me still overweight. All the losses and IF treatments added another 25 lbs. before #2. I lost 60+ lbs. after my son was born, and LOVED IT.<BR/><BR/>I've managed to keep right around the weight I was at when I got married until this month. December and January have been MUCH too stressful, and I've eaten too much crap. I see what is happening, and I don't want to go back to being overweight again.<BR/><BR/>I hope, like you, that I can stop the slide and get back to my happier place. (Not that you really need to worry about it during pg, I know you know that). Thanks for putting the thought in my mind to start small. It is good food for thought.tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833358728527455795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620726426762951650.post-75597655264536011652009-01-28T18:00:00.000-08:002009-01-28T18:00:00.000-08:00I was never athletic, really.

I am kind of naturally long and lean, so I can kind of get away with being out of shape for a while - but I think that ultimately I'm in the same boat you're in now, anyway.<BR/><BR/>I need to just try not to lose too much ground during this pregnancy - I like your small promises, because keeping them will probably be fairly easy. So, you've inspired me - maybe I'll be able to stick to it if I don't try to be Fitness Preggo all at once...Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180034761243431694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620726426762951650.post-86823093040123930122009-01-28T17:48:00.000-08:002009-01-28T17:48:00.000-08:00I gained so much from eating badly with my 1st 2 p...I gained so much from eating badly with my 1st 2 pregnancies. This time, however, was a breeze. I still gained 21 lbs, but that's a far cry from the 50 I gained with the girls. So good for you for thinking about eating better this time. You'll be happy.nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479202205264710056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620726426762951650.post-76610336141703996762009-01-28T13:11:00.000-08:002009-01-28T13:11:00.000-08:00Love, love, love the title!

I wish I exercised like I used to. I blame my long days at work and commute (rightfully), but there is still time if I made it a priority. Eating healthy is a challenge. It takes discipline and effort. Loads of luck to you!Mermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624058637518241020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620726426762951650.post-353630396598811562009-01-28T11:18:00.000-08:002009-01-28T11:18:00.000-08:00I, too, was super into working out about ten years...I, too, was super into working out about ten years ago.

No, we all have goals and things we'd like to personally achieve. No one else gets to decide that for us. Screw anyone who is going to try to tell YOU what YOU should already be happy with. Only YOU get to decide that.<BR/><BR/>I support you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
