The fun's over! It's time for an Easter (Sunday, March 31) Challenge!

Well I have only told a couple of people at this point, but we are expecting baby #2. Baby is due August 24th. I've been sick the entire time. Haven't thrown up yet, but my stomach doesn't agree with me most of the day. I was sick with LO the entire pregnancy, so I'm not surprised. We will see what will happen to my weight during this pregnancy while teaching and chasing after our 2yr old son.

Please keep in mind that I am 5' 10" tall.
Sept 2011 - I weighed 199lbs (Dr. scale) at my wedding
Sept 2012 - I weighed 200lbs (Dr. scale) when I went into labour with LO
Dec 2014 - I weigh 178lbs on the Dr. scale - my home scale still says 173lbs.

You're 5'10" and you weigh 178lbs??!!
Your BMI is between 24-26...at 170 you're in the NORMAL range!!
In my dreams!!!

Congratulations on your lovely news! You're doing wonderfully!!

congrats for starting over on January first ladies, I have been placed on a vile new med just for one month..... ugh! and I know from past experience with this there will be no hope of reducing my girth while on that pill. I will of course continue to visit and lurk around in here if it is o.k. with you all. Let's call it couch surfing for now so it sounds sort of exercise-like!

Yes Lynn, at 173lbs and 5'10" I am finally in the healthy weight range again on a BMI chart.

We took LO swimming this afternoon. I was surprised to see just how winded I got while treading water with a friend. Dh and I take turns with LO in the shallow area so that we can both still get a bit of good exercise out of it. We unfortunately hadn't taken LO swimming since early fall, but he loved it once he was back in the water.

Oh, that's such fun! To this day, our 6-yr old grandson is a water-baby! He continues to take swimming lessons all winter and of course, in the summer, he's in their pool every second he can get into it! Enjoy, Hon!!

I think I did pretty well over Christmas not too much over eating, I tried to be careful but still enjoy myself.

Lately I have been feeling a lot of tension and some anxiety so I started working out a bit at home to try to make things better. Been having horrible tension headaches so I have been doing stretching and yoga to try to help my tension as well as some boxing and tennis on my WII. It isn't a lot but it something.

Now to see what I can lose before we leave on vacca in Feb.

[Angela273]

I had my 6wk prenatal appointment this morning. I have lost 1.8lbs since I saw him 6 days ago. I have all day sickness, like my other pregnancy. The doctor isn't concerned, he's only interested in the trends. Back on his scale again in 4wks time.

Thought I would pop in and say hello to my other trusty thread. Like Angela, I will welcoming a new babe in 2015 (July). Number 3 for us. I am already using BioOil - thank you Santa. I won't be trying to lose again until I am done breastfeeding. I have been maintaining my weight since I last checked in and am 10 lbs lighter than before my first pregnancy so I think that is something to celebrate.

I have been on hiatus from SC...going to try to check in a little more again!

Lol...Walks, our DD said that was one of the most depressing baby books she had! There's another series she enjoyed reading much more.....

Congrats on "our" new pregnancies! {{{jealous!!}}} Like Patty, I, too, will live vicariously...except for the morning/day sickness part.

Off to do groceries today....all the healthy stuff!!

I often do this, and then dh tries to share some food with me. He's a bad late night snacker.
