Thank you!

We're doing Belize, Mexico and Guatemala...and I just splurged and upgraded us to the penthouse suite. I wanted the butler and the jacuzzi overlooking the ocean! :)

Where are you going?

I'm a reading specialist, so I get the scheduling issue. I already found a bunch of kids that were put with me...I have no idea how some of these kids got there when they read on grade level!

I gain about 5 pounds from pills...and got preggo on Yaz. lol...so I guess it makes me gain weight. (And my pregnancy was not user error, I'm one of the statistics where the pills failed)

I just got Mirena, but it coincided with my calorie counting. I'm down about 7 pounds in the last month.

Well this says I'm burning 1840, being sedentary. I don't log anything in, but I'm a full-time teacher and have a 19 month/3 month old. I drive about 45-60 minutes a day and do some housework. Think I should switch to light activity?

And soon I'll be waitressing part time too! :)

Thanks. I just wish it would go away already...especially because we dont need our parents thinking we're having number 3....which will be eventually, not now!

Personal experience...had the weird cramps in the middle of my cycle. I had had a baby before, so I immediately throught I was preggo. (never get cramps in the middle of my cycle)...Went to the doctors, tested negative via blood. A couple days later, boom, "Pregnant" on a digital. The same day I got no line on a regular test. (And I was preggo, my doct then did a pee test a few days later and was like "I can barely see it, but you are!)

Try ClearBlue Digital, the one that tests 5 days before your missed period. I did not get a positive until a few days AFTER I was due, but I got a positive quicker on that brand than any other!

And from experience, I never had frequent urination until later in my pregnancy. (Kids are 18 months and 2 months) I did have some weird brown spotting after I got preggo with my first, but thought it was just my period starting or something...later I was told it was implantation bleeding. Didn't have it with my second.

Besides cramps, I also had some headaches before I found out too...

If that was your period 2 weeks ago, the chances are unlikely you are pregnant...but I do understand the anxiety...Hope some of my insight helps.

I bought one of the Ab videos...some segments are fine, others I simply can't do because it hurts. I was cleared by the doctor, but to "take it easy". My incision had a hard time healing on the outside, but it's good now...

I just hate the little belly and the "line". Not the incision line itself, but what having it makes my stomach look like! Ugh! If I continue to lose weight will it get better or is it one of those things that take time?

I drink it daily, but I use one tub (instead of 2) when I make a pitcher. I figure it's better than all the soda I was drinking...and I hate water

I agree. My two are close, but I had a couple months with one...my oldest is sooo much easier now and the baby is harder. Two babies and I'd lose my mind!

It's weird, cause I have changed my weight at all...I just started yesterday!

I'm with you...have a newborn and a cruise planned in Feb, so I'm all for droppin 10 pounds!

Thanks for that fiber tip, I'll have to try it.

This morning I had a bowl of Cheerios with 2% milk, with a banana...yummy. How is that Special K cereal? I have the Special K 90 calories bars that are new...chocolate/raspberry and chocolate/orange...they are awesome!

I'm on it now, but just started counting the calories. I lost a few pounds off the bat, now I'm at a plateau....so we'll see what following the diet does too!
