wow.  okay, this sucks.  i just stepped on the scale and i'm back to 150.  150!!  i don't think it's very accurate, because i spent two out of the last three days in the car, plus i'm VERY PMS-y, so i'm definitely retaining water.  but still, it SUCKS.  so if my goal weight seems out of line, it's because my start weight is out of line.  okay?  no lectures ;)

I really hope that I break the 190 barrier. I over ate and aover drank this weekend. I feel like I have been losing and regaining the same 6-8 lbs for a year.

I started at 176 in 2006 so I should be happy at current stage but want more loss. This month's goal is a little more realistic to what my body is doing.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks for doing this again not sure if I will actually lose weight since we found out last Friday that we are pregnant, but this may help me maintain better.

 Congratulations on the pregnancy!! Im on CC to lose weight for a wedding and then after that, I want to try to get pregnant. I plan to use CC during my pregnancy to make sure that Im eating enough calories for the babies development but not so much that I gain ALL the weight I lost. I think your suppose to gain between 30-40 lbs with a pregnancy (of which most is the baby and you lose quickly after the birth), but I have some friends that gained 80 lbs!! Of course, they were super skinny pre-baby and lost it really easily. But I know how hard it is lose 35 lbs so I dont want to gain 80 with a baby!! I also heard that breast feeding boosts your mestabolism, so its great for both your and your babies health!

GOOD LUCK!!

 Hi! I just had a baby... well she is 4 months old now! The amount of weight you gain varies on your beginning weight. The average amount to gain while pregnant is 25-35 lbs. An over weight person can gain as little as 5 lbs. and often will lose at the beginning of your pregnancy due to hormones! I was overweight when I became pregnant and gained 21 lbs. throughout my pregnancy and I lost it all 12 days postpartum! But really you shouldn't be too concerned with the weight you gain during pregnancy just try to eat healthy and when you are hungry make sure you eat! Your baby needs all the nourishment he/she can get!

Anyway a great website I found while I was pregnant is i-am-pregnant.com. It is great and it also has a spot in there that you can actually calculate how much weight you should gain based on your height and weight!
