Hello ladies! Make sure and let me know when you need your info updated. I lost two more pounds! I still am having a hard time making exercise priority, but I am being so so careful about what I eat!
Do this-- eat fresh. Concentrate on natural foods like fresh vegetables and fruits. Also, try to choose food that is bright and colorful, such as strawberries, blueberries, red and yellow peppers, etc. There are plenty of these foods that you could fill up on and would never cause you to gain! I know, I know, they don't exactly taste like chocolate, but the more you eat them, the more you want to eat them.
Here's a trick I use to tame snacking...put your favorite grapes in the freezer, and when you need a snack, these are great! They retain all their flavor, and when frozen, taste much like a popsicle. Best of all, they are so cold, you have to eat them slowly!
Keep it up ladies! Brandy, thanks for all the cute videos- I love the exercising dogs, lol!!!!

Karen, I'm not a doctor but I would think if you're eating healthy and getting the proper amount of calories, watch your salt intake etc, and do what every exercise your doctor recommends, you may drop some weight and be healthier when the baby is born than you are now. I suggest speaking with your doctor and see what he has to say. He's better educated and you shouldn't start any kind of diet or exercise program without talking to him first anyway.
I hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy. Let us know what your Dr says.

Shannon, I don't know how true this is but I read that taking magnesium suppliments will help. Apparently we are low during that part of the cycle so we crave chocolate because it is loaded with magnesium.
I just try to eat healthier snacks. Eating nuts about 20 minutes before a meal makes you feel satisfied sooner so you won't pig out as much. About 12 almonds 20 mins, before a meal or if you are feeling like eating everything in site.

Just thought I would also add that anyone who wants to join us for support, but is worried about listing your personal data...Don't let that stop you! We are all in this together. This is all by choice, and if you choose to leave out a piece of info, such as your current weight, that is OK.
For me, I feel the need to make it public, because seeing it there where others are seeing it too makes me more accountable. But that is my personal choice.
Let's make it another great day!
