I personally made the mistake stopping work too early with my first.  He was due May 15th and April 16th the doctors told me I was 2 centimeters dilated.  I stopped working and he came May 29, induction and then a c. 

However I believe if you are tired of aorking you should stop and get rested up for the new baby.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks guys!!! I think I'll do the same.  I have hit a plateau and I heard this might help.  We shall see!

I don't know where everyone is from, but in NY the bagels are outrageous and I can't live with out them.  I work a bagel into my "diet" at least twice a week.  They are about 360 just for the bagel and I usually put egg whites on them but I can't live out them!!!!!

That's what I love about CC you just fit it in.  I don't feel like I am on a diet at all.  I'll have a slim fast or kashi bar as a mini meal on a day I have  a bagel. 

Good Luck everyone!

We are taking our first trip to Disneyworld in one month! That's how I found this site - I wanted to be ready for that bikini

That's great! You'll love it.  My bother lives in Florida and we always go to Disney when we visit.  This time most of my family is going, we are staying at Disney and it should be awesome!  Can't wait. 

Realistic me wants to lose 10-15 more pounds by then, the dreamer in me wants more. lol.

2 months!

This is definitely a life style change and not a "diet"  I've lost almost 12 pounds since December 29th and although its been slow, I am happy for the bigger picture.  I love this site and the journals.  I wish everyone the best and hope to give as much support and I've gotten.  Thanks!!! You are great.

I am hung over because I fell off the wagon last night.  I had 8 lite beers and I haven't had a drink in 5 weeks so it kinda went right to my head.  

I think being light hearted about indulging and falling off the wagon is good for us and in no means is anyone trying to be disrepectful.  I understand people might have serious problems but they should really be getting help for those problems.  People here should not feel this is a safe place for them to recover from such serious conditions.  This could be a good tool to keep people on track.  And having light hearted discussions should not offend or discourage anyone.  If anything it should be helpful fun. 

Was your original post edited because I can't even tell how and why you offended?

Y'all know that was a joke about eating groundhog, right? I really don't know anyone who eats groundhog. Now, 'possum is another story. 

Thank god! LOL

You eat groundhogs? :-s

Never heard of that, seems a bit odd to eat them when you're 'celebrating' 'groundhog day'.

btw Jolanda we have it here in Canada too, ours is Wiarton Willie :P

Don't worry about people staring.  They probably stare now.  People stare for all sorts of reasons and when we are in our own worlds, living our lives, we don't even notice it.  It's only when we are self conscious about it that we notice it. 

People stare if they see something pretty, fat, cute, ugly, bright, different, etc!!! Let them stare and don't even notice them.

Be who you are and enjoy your precious baby that is about to rock your world!!!

Seriously, enjoy every moment.

Well you bring up a very valid point.  My mother-in-law is obsessed with weight.  Too much, too little, too anything.......

I love her dearly but she has made me have set backs before and I don't want to deal with if I have a set back or deal with just her advice in general when it pertains to weight.  I am going through a rough time personally and this has been the best 4 and 1/2 weeks I've had in a while and I want to keep positive. 

Her last comment to me was that I was the heaviest she's ever seen me......Like I don't know that!!!! She does mean well and that's why I would just rather not tell her anything when it comes to watching or not watching my weight.

So in other words you hit the nail on the button and I am very self conscious...LOL

Thanks!!!!

More like how short am I, I am 5'4".  I would say a med to large frame. 

That is sad about your dad, my dad had a terrible battle with cancer.
