Thanks, yea, I am 5'2 and it is telling me to eat 1403 or something like that to lose a half pound a week. I was at 1600 but I recently moved and now am not going to the gym every day like I was before. So, I am trying to incorporate some simple exercises into my day, in between taking of my 19 month old troublemaker. I am one of those people who LOVES to exercise but have no idea what to do when not at the gym. I go to the beach alot now, so that's something;)

1200 is what the CC calculator is telling me to eat. I have been getting 20-25 g of fiber per day, just want to make sure that is enough. As for fat, I was getting 50 or so when I was eating 1600 cals, but wasn't sure now how many grams are ideal for a 1200 cal diet. Thanks!

Are you seeing results, Ginger? Because I also have started that dvd, and I wasn't that challenged. Maybe I should go straight to Level 2? Ummm, does anyone know where I can get a good sports bra that would help me be able to do the jumping jacks more efficiently?(you know what I mean.....)

And to answer your question, MCS, I actually am way more challenged with the Biggest Loser2 workout dvd with Bob and Kim than with Jillian, which is kind of disappointing to me because I was thinking I was going to be whipped into shape by the bada$$ Jillian who got all those results on the show.

Anyone know when the season premiere is?

I think you should enjoy this time. You didn't mention if your BF is happy about this new baby. If so, then yeah, enjoy the pregnancy and each other. Things change between you when you have a baby together. Not a bad thing, though. I was only with my BF for a few months and also was told I couldn't have children and then OOps, I was pregnant. We didn't worry too much about what other people would think. When I was born my mom was already married to a different guy than the one who got her pregnant(and she was 17), so I was not worried at all what she would say(btw, she was ecstatic). I was 25 when I got pregnant, and I am with the father and we are super in love with each other and our child. You will have to let people know eventually so just get it over with. They will probably be super happy for you. My mom bought me so much baby crap when I got pregnant that I haven't really had to buy anything but formula and diapers(my son is 5 months old). Congratulations, this should be the happiest time in your life! If someday you guys decide to get married, so be it, it will not be for the wrong reasons. We decided that very thing about our relationship and didn't hesitate to share it with anyone who asked us if we are going to be married just cause we have a kid together. There is nothing wrong with you or your child or your relationship. Sorry if I'm rambling...

It breaks my heart every time I see an overweight parent with little kids who are starting to pack on the pounds and the cart is full of things like frozen pizza, chips, ice cream, cookies, etc. with absolutely zero healthy items. But then I realize that's how most people eat. Frown

 Oh, my goodness! That just reminded me of this woman I know...nice girl, we get along, but okay, she is really overweight and has 2 little girls, 10 and 5. Both overweight. She told me recently that her 10 year old weighs 150 and needs to see a nutritionist! The thing is, every time I've gone over there I've watched her feed her kids 2 double cheeseburgers and fries from McDonald's for dinner and these kids get NO exercise! They are told to SIT in a chair and watch tv ALL day! I am appalled at this but feel like it is not my place to suggest things to her. I would not want to criticize someone's parenting style, but these kids are unhealthy! Its just sad.

Yeah ignore them. My own father (biologically, anyway) told me when my son was 9 weeks old that I had quite the gut and needed to do some crunches! People are appalling...don't let it ruin your good mood.

It was my time of the month, 7th grade, it went through my jeans. I got it all over the light blue seat that I was sitting on. The teacher must have known it was me. I was horrified and my friend noticed it on the seat when I got up, I tried to play it off like it must have been the person who sat in that seat the class before. Worst day of my life.

 That happened to me in 9th grade. The worst part is, I knew it was happening(although I didn't think it was going to be that bad) but the teacher(a guy of course, sorry guys)wouldn't let me go to the bathroom. Of course I was scared of detention at that age, so I didn't just walk out, and after class my best friend was kind enough to loan me her gym shorts for the rest of the day. To this day I keep a stash of tamps in my purse for emergencies at ALL times.

I thought the only way to tell if you were over weight was if your thighs touched...

haha. even though i know this is sarcastic i used to really think that. i guess even nowadays i'd probably hate if mine did. but that definitely does not make you overweight by any means.

 That's funny. It also reminds me of something someone told me in high school. They said as long as your stomach does not stick out past your boobs, your'e not overweight("fat", as they put it). I really believed it at the time, now I realize how stupid that is...

I use the information provided on food labels or look up the individual ingredients if I am making something from scratch. Most days I don't see a grade. I just know how many calories, fat, fiber, etc. I am getting. That is enough for me, I don't like being graded. So I avoid it. That's just me though. But yea, be careful, because the exercise you do might not equal the calories you ingested. Other than that, do what works for you.

When I was pregnant I loved pasta, went an entire month eating it every night for dinner. And ham rolls with cream cheese. Once (still pregnant) I ate 2 cheesy gordita crunches in the car driving home from class. Needless to say, I'm still trying to lose my baby weight.

I like the Biggest Loser dvds...I just got them like 3 weeks ago...here's the problem:I am doing the workouts 5 days a week and really busting my butt, but I am not losing weight. I am staying within my calories as well, so wtf? I dunno, maybe my body is just not programmed normally...

Can someone tell me the story of Brittany and Bernie.  I came in to the show past mid-season and never quite found out what the story was there.  I gathered last night that they didn't come to the ranch together and was wondering how they got "paired up".  Thanks!

2 lbs. down, 7 to go!

 Brit and Bernie were members of the Biggest Loser online club who had never met each other, thrown together by fate...
