Thanks, Karl. I've been feeling very lazy and nauseous lately. I haven't gained any weight but I can feel the difference in they way some of clothes are fitting me. I'm tired most of the day and I've been getting alot of heart palpitations lately. My next doctor appt is on the 30th. All is well though. Thanks again.

How awful to hear about the palpitations. Those are scary! I used to smoke cigarettes and I would get those so often I thought I was going to die. I didn't make the connection that the smoking was causing it until after I quit. Now they are gone.


I hope you find the cause of your palpitations and get back to feeling better soon.

Thanks. They really do suck. I know it's the hormones that are causing them because right before I started my period I used to get them and then they would go away after. I'm seeing my doctor Thurs.
 
Hi fellow pregnant lady! I miss you! I've been tired, lazy, nauseous, and not eating well too. At first the bad eating was like, okay, just a little bit. And now it's a full blown habit. We can do it though. We were doing so well before! Good for you, for at least walking everyday. I am going to try to stay committed to food journaling again and throwing away all the junk food should help! We have to do this for ourselves and our little ones. We all deserve it! How did your Dr. appt. go? Did you get to mention the heart palpitations? Have you had an ultra-sound yet? I'm getting one on the 11th. I can't wait! I think I'll feel more connected once I can actually see the baby and hear the heart beat. Talk to you soon!

Hey you. I miss you too. They had to reschedule my appt so I haven't had a chance to talk to the doctor yet. I have another appt on Wed so I'll be having my first ultrasound then. I think I'll feel more connected also once I see the baby. I just can't seem to get there yet. It's weird. Take care and thanks for dropping by.

How did your apt. go on Wednesday? I went and had an ultrasound last week and got to see little bean. It was really emotional. As is eeeverything lately! I changed doctors, so my first apt. isn't until Dec. 5th. Hope everything's going well :)
 
Hellooooo...

Hey girlie, I see that you haven't been here for a while. I haven't either. I just wanted to see how the pregnancy was going and see how you're doing. I'd love to hear an update on you and play a little catch up. Hope all is well. :seeya:

Hi there. I'm doing well and things are going great with the pregnancy. I found out that I'm having a baby boy! I have two girls and they are very happy to have a brother. Thanks for stopping in. How are things with you?
 
YaY!!!

I'm so happy for you and your family... a baby boy, WOW!!! I bet your girls are very excited. Congratulations!!! I'm doing okay. Just trying to get back into the groove of things. My husband is helping me this time. He has no weight to lose, but is actually going to work out with me since he knows how important this is to me. Lets see, hmmmm... I left the old job that was driving me insane, I'm now living in thornton, co. It's been a really nice change! I do miss my mama though... I really miss you guys. I can't wait to see you back in here in a few more months. I'm sure you can't wait to welcome your beautiful little boy into this world also huh? Keep us posted girlie and let us know how everything is going. And again, can't wait till you're back for good!!! Sent this message with lots of hugs and lots of love...:waving:

Thank you so much. I can't wait to get back either but you're right. I'm pretty anxious about spending time with the baby before I get back into anything. Good luck with you and God-willing I will be here real soon. Take care.
 
Hey Girlie... Is he here yet? How are you doing? Haven't heard from you in quite some time... Just wanting to check in on you and let you know that you aren't forgotten and you are missed :) I hope all is going well and hope to see your smiling face back in here again sometime soon:)

Thanks for checking in. Hope all is well with you. Me and baby are great.
 
I'm Back Baby!!

I'm back on track again. I just gave birth on June 1st to a beautiful 9 pound baby boy! I gained a whopping 53 pounds with him. I went from 220 to 273. I had been doing really when when I had gotten down to 220 when I got pregnant. It was a wonderful surprise and I am truly blessed to have finally gotten my baby boy. I have two beautiful girls. My son was born on his four year old sister's birthday so that was really cool too. We name my son Ryan Mathias but we call him Mathias.

I've at least lost some of the weight I gained when I was pregnant. I haven't really been doing much but watching how much I eat. Right now I'm just eating smaller portions and drinking lots of water. I haven't avoided any foods but I don't eat very much of them when I do eat them. I can't exercise just yet. The doctor says I can walk but I can't do any heavy lifting since I had a c-section. I should get the okay by about July 13th which would be six weeks. So far what I've been doing has been working. Once the weight stops coming off I may have to go another route but for now I feel great and it feels good to lose weight again instead of gaining it.

Hey beautiful! Glad to see you back in here and motivated! A nine lb baby boy huh? Good for you, sounds like a nice healthy son too. :hug2:

I don't get quite as much tim ein here as I'd like to these days, but yeah, I missed you too! Hope to keep catching up with you as this goes along.
 
Back to Square One

I tried eating what I wanted and controlling my portions but that obviously isn't going to work for me. I ended up gaining 2 pounds so now I'm back to square one and today I began with a change in my eating habits. I am going to have to count my calories. I can't do any exercise except for walking right now. I have a doctor's appt in a couple of weeks and he will hopefully release me to be able to do other exercises. It's been four and a half weeks since my c-section and I feel great. I still have a little soreness inside of my belly but it's not pain. I created another account on fitday to keep track of my food intake, exercise, journals, measurements and moods. I hope to keep myself on track this time. I'm looking forward to the next season of the Biggest Loser to give me motivation. I'm giving myself a year this time to lose 74 pounds. I hope I can do it this time. I'm so sick of playing these games with myself. It needs to end now.

My food intake for the day:
_______________________

2 slices of turkey bacon
1 egg, 2 eggwhites scrambled
1 cup of cantaloupe
----------------------------
Turkey Sandwich (2 slices wheat breat, 2 oz deli turkey, 1 oz muenster cheese, 1 tbsp light mayo, 4 slices tomato, .25 avocado)
1 small apple
-----------------------------
4 oz tilapia filet
1/2 cup brown rice
1 cup of mixed vegetables

Serving of frosted mini wheats with 1/2 cup of 2% milk

Total Calories: 1550
 
Goal #1

I started making smaller goals for myself to help with the weight loss. I figure if I could make it to each goal within a specific amount of time, it won't feel so bad because I have so much to lose. I'll feel better getting to each goal and I'll be less likely to give up. My first goal is to lose 4 pounds by July 16. I'm trying to stay under 1500 calories and I'm drinking lots of water. I'll hopefully get to start walking real soon if I have some time. Having three kids and a husband doesn't give me very much time for myself. We'll see what happens....wish me luck. :driving:
 
On Sundays, after church, my family and I always go out to eat. We went to our usual restaurant. I ate the way I would have normally eaten and thought I was doing okay until I got home and counted all my calories. I ate a whopping 1800+ in one sitting. It was a huge eye-opener. I couldn't believe my eyes. I won't be making that mistake again. I went way over my 1500 calories today but at least I still have about 10 days before the date of my first mini goal. I've lost 2 and have 2 more to go. Why didn't I think of doing this before? It alleviates so much stress in my life and make this so easier for me. I hope it stays this way.
 
I'm one pound away from my first mini-goal of 236. I feel great and I'm starting to walk about 15 to 20 minutes a day. It's getting easier and it makes me feel like I'm working towards my goal instead of just sitting there waiting like I was before when I couldn't exercise. I have 9 more days to lose this pound. I'm pretty sure I can do it. I'm looking forward to making it to my next goal. :cheers2:
 
Restaurants can be a real eye opener can't they?

Sounds like despite that, you are doing really well and heading nicely to your mini goal. I used to hate tracking calories. I'm a convert now though, because it seems that no matter how well I think I may be doing, when I don't track, i don't seem to lose. When I do track, the weight drops. It's a pain, but I do it anyway.

Sorry to hear that Texas is so hot right now, I wish we could split it up a bit, you take some of our rain, We'll take a little of your sun & heat, everyone is happy.
