| Motivation | Why are you trying to drop the poundage? | Aug 22 2009 17:52 (UTC) |

I first lost a lot of weight to be as healthy as possible for when we start trying to have babies. Well when I finally convince DH to start trying I stopped worrying about the weight. After 6months of trying it has crept back on (20lbs of it). When that happens my cycles get all crazy and long making things even harder. So I really need to start loosing it again or my fertility may be out the window. If I gain much more I might stop ovulating all together, which is what happened when I was at my heaviest. (sorry guys if that is TMI but its my reason) |

Hey spacedreamer, I am going to try to join you for the whole month of April. I need to stay low key though so I am only going to try to track water, exercise, and weight. I'll e-mail you my weight this month. Now I need to hide that easter candy. |

If she had light bleeding on December 8th, that could be ovulation spotting. Sometime people will spot around their fertile times and it can sometimes be confused with their period. And women can get sore breast during ovulation, period, or as a first symptom of pregnancy. Since she is not totally sure it was even her period I would trust her right now. She probably needs it. If the ultrasound and things prove otherwise then maybe then would be the time to wonder. All women of different cycles and sometimes (many times) those cycles vary some from month to month. You can ovulate way early or later than normal from time to time and especially after a change in birth control. Also like someone said before, would it change everything if you found out that this was not your child? Would you still offer to take care of her and accept this child as your own? |

| Pregnancy & Parenting | Here we go...Vaccines! | Feb 08 2009 23:24 (UTC) |

Have you read the book "Evidence of Harm" by David Kirby. It deals with the link between vaccines and autism. It claims it is the amount of mercury in the vaccines that is the problem. By spacing them out you lower the doses of mercury injected into the child at one given time. http://www.evidenceofharm.com/introduction.ht m One of my husband's client's child was featured in the book. She gave my husband a copy. She had hair clipping before the two year shots and after that shows how much mercury was in her child's system. I have also read a lot of evidence to the claim that there is a link between vaccines and autism. I have also seen my own cousin who seemed like a normal toddler regress into mild autism and even stop talking after undergoing vaccines. We don't have children right now but I would like to read up the disadvantages and benefit of both sides. It doesn't make much sense to me that when you are pregnant you have to limit the amount of mercury you intake but once the child is born they inject him with such high doses. Can you list the books you have read and which ones you like the best? I will have to check them out since I hope to be heading down the road to parenthood soon. |

Shellbysmomma - Fiber will fill you up for little calories. Be sure to ask your doctor if a high fiber diet will effect the meds. There are alot of things that are high in fiber such as some cereals, whole grains, and fruit. Things wit 4 or more grams of fiber are great. Peanut butter might also work in filling you up but it can carry a lot of calories. Grateful - I am grateful that it is Friday!!! and I have the weekend to relax. I am also grateful that the temperature was so nice today that I really wanted to get outside and walk. |

| Pregnancy & Parenting | TTCing and Losing weight anyone else?? | Jan 20 2009 02:05 (UTC) |

I starting loosing a year and a half ago for this very reason. I don't think I was ovulating. We weren't ready to try yet but I wanted to be ready for when we do. I never did reach my goal and even gained some back. I would like to get back into the 130's before ttc which I am really hoping will be next month. I will continue to try to loose until I become pregnant or reach 130. |

Positive Challenge - Why I'm Here Well first off Spacedreamer e-mailed me and said that the minis were back so I am back but really I have been wanting and needing something to motivate me to get back into the healthy drinking my water and exercing routine. I have gained some of that weight I worked so hard to get rid of and lost track of my goal. I was really hoping to be healthy when I start to try for kids. I am in much better shape than I was almost 2 years ago but not where I want to be. Well I am really hoping that I will be under 140 next month possibly TTC. We'll see!! |

I'm another Christal but I have taken pride in that I haven't personally met anyone with the same spelling. I know there are others out there from googling but just haven't met any. I like the charm in old names that have made a comeback. I also seem to really like hispanic sounding names. They just sound so beautiful to me. We have a girls named picked out (even though we aren't yet preg.) Other names I like are Rosa, Alondra, Gabriella, Jordan, Ilana, Isidora, We are stuck on boy names - I do like names like Hunter, Jacob, Drew, Aiden, Mattias, Noah, Ethan, Elijah, and Logan |

I have been so busy back at school that I haven't been on here much. I did weigh in Monday though. I was 134. I actually got down to 133.6 (lowest I have been yet) on Saturday. |

| The Lounge | Anyone fascinated by dreams and want to discuss? | Aug 15 2008 03:39 (UTC) |

I've always had some really strange dreams. As a child I had several dreams of my friends dieing. I also had a dream that I died once. I am not really sure if I actually died but I was crushed between two buses and fell to the floor. Then the dream flashed to a very old man reading to a little girl, then to an out of body experience. I actually saw myself sleeping in bed. Then I woke up and I was lying in the exact position that I dreamt. It was really strange. Strange enough that I remember it 15- 20 years later. I believe that some dreams really mean something. Those are the ones you just can't shake and remember for a long time. God spoke to his people in the bible through dreams. I am sure he still does. I know I have had dreams that I am sure were messages from God. I was even able to interpret one in particular. I wrote the whole dream down with interpretations the minute I woke up. |

Sorry I skipped a week. It was the TOM and school just started. I haven't had time to get on line in the last few days. I have barely had time to eat. We just had our first day back today so I feel a little relieved that tomorrow is Friday. I should be up and ready for Monday's weigh-in. |

Give it a few days. When ever I eat a bunch of junk and weigh in my weight seems to jump up much higher than I thought possible. Then every day that I get back to my normal diet, the pounds melt off quickly. I am sure this is because my body is holding onto water or something from the change in diet. 4 lbs seems a little much. You probably gained a pound or two at most. The extra weight should come off quickly if you get back to your normal eating routine and diet. That is what I think. I hope that gives you a little bit more encouragement. |

It's not really a DVD but I enjoy Yourself Fitness. It is a PC or Xbox "game" that creates workouts based on your individual needs and goals. The workouts do many of the same moves while introducing new ones. Every workout is different but like I said she (your persoanl trainer) uses many of the same basic moves like side step, kicks, ect. to get you warmed up. It you are looking for something new I would check it out. I have the x-box version but I also have an xbox. I don't know much about the PC version but it is probably the same just on your computer. http://yourselffitness.com/default.aspx it also has yoga moves |

I am 5'1 and keep bouncing my weight around 134-139. I keep loosing and gaining the same few pounds. You really have to be committed to loose any weight at this height. I go out of town for a weekend and gain 2-3 lbs just by changing up my regular eating habits and exercise routine. I don't want to get very low in my weight since I am rather muscular and want to gain muscle but I can't seem to get down to 130. |

Thanks for your input. I was thinking March or April would be best but that would depend on how long I took off. I will have to ask some teacher at my school what seems to work best but I don't want everyone to know I'm thinking babies because it may be another year before we start trying if we are trying for March and April. I would really hate to wait that long. |

| Pregnancy & Parenting | Has anyone tried to lose weight before first pregnancy to prepare for baby weight gain? | Jul 05 2008 20:20 (UTC) |

daciakaiser sounds just like me but I knew I wanted to loose weight before trying to have kids so my doctor didn't have to tell me. 1 year later, I am 60 lbs lighter. It did feel great to go back to my gyn and be a whole new person. I am also eating much better and exercising. I feel confident (if I can control my cravings) I will maintain proper weight gain and be able to get it off after. I have also read that if you start a great exercise program with weights well before your pregnancy that you are more likely to loose the weight quicker after the baby comes. |

OKay so can I just not weigh- in this week? I am definitely bloated with water weight and on top of that it is also TTOM. I would rather not even see what my weight is. I know it wouldn't be a true reflection of my current weight and would only frustrate me. |
