I seem to have developed a wee glitch in my plan to get to my Weight Watcher's Goal weight. Last week I took a pregnancy test and it came up positive.

We haven't told any family yet. I have been tracking the past week, but now I don't want to lose anymore. But when I don't track I feel lost. I would like to gain the recommended amount of weight and not get out of control. And I am going to miss the friendly people at my meetings.

Congrats!!! That's wonderful news. Don't they have WW for pregnant people?

OMG, Nancy that is the best Christmas gift ever!!! Congrats, I can't believe we are one of the first to know!!! I am so happy for you!!! And a little jealous. I wish I had more kids. I love my two but at almost 11 an 13 I miss all the little kid stuff. Again, Congrats! Oh and I have no advise on WW and pregnancy but I'm sure they have a plan for that.
We're having a WW baby, oh I mean you're having a baby .

Thank you for the congratulations. I can't find any information on the Weight Watchers website.

Thank you I really want to tell my Mom, but I thought it would be nice to tell her on Christmas day! I don't know if I can wait much longer than that. We are really happy but with me being 38 a little worried. I need to find an OB and get checked out. I have wanted to have another one for a long time now. I had a miscarriage in 2006 so I am a little scared that it could happen again.

I dont believe you can be an active WW member if you're pregnant.

Ever considered foster parenting, Stephanie?? We did it for almost 10 years. We were a baby home.

Try not to worry, I'm sorry about your miscarriage, I will pray for you and your little one to be healthy. You should totally do something unique on christmas if that is when You are going to tell your mom. Like maybe make shirts like New mom to be, Big sister and Big brother too be oh and one for your husband too . Unless, you will be with other family of course and only going to tell mom under the QT.

Jessie, believe or not you are not the first to tell me that. It is something to consider. I briefly went back to work co-teaching kindergarten and it was my dream job. Unfortunatly, the state of Nc is hurting like so many other states and they cut education unfortunatly it was last hired first fired and that was me. I only went back for a year (I have a teaching back round) would love to get back into the school but it's been hard with all the cuts. Fortunatly, I don't have to work but, I absolutely LOVED working in kindergarten with the kids.

Congratulations! The same thing happened to me 10 years ago. I lost weight on WW and I too got pregnant. My sage advice for you is don't wait 10 years after the birth to get back on track!

Hello ladies! I'm excited to report that at weigh in this morning I hit my 25lbs goal and I lost a little over 2lbs this past week. Needless to say I was in complete shock when I saw that! Of course we went out shopping today which led to some not so good food choices but honestly not to worried about it. This time of the year with the holidays and weather is a challenge so as long as I try and eat healthy most of the week and just keep focused on the long term goal I'm sure I'll make it to lifetime member status before summer. Which is only another 10-15lbs. I have come to far not to go all the way! I'm just hoping this time I actually keep it off!

Well I hope everyone is doing great! And I hope everyone has/have had a wonderful holiday season! I for one can't wait for the holiday season to be over so I can get back on track better.

Great job and Congrats on the 25lb goal. I feel the same way I've come to far not to go all the way. And not to sound like a scrooge I too want it to be January in a way to get back on track 100%. It's been tough the last few days for me. I've made a ton of christmas cookies and DH keeps bringing goodies home he's getting as gifts from work. So, needless to say I start out good and the cookies and goodies call my name. Oh, well I am not stressing about it. It's Christmas and I will not pig out I'll just enjoy and it is what it is. The rule is Monday, January 3 what's still here goes in the trash!!!!

Congrats on such happy news! Sending many prayers, positive thoughts and pixie dust for everything to go well

There is a preggie member at my meetings - she doesn't weigh in, but goes for the weekly mag and the friendship of the meetings. I don't think she was at goal when she got pg, but she says attending the meetings really helps her make good choices and not eat things just because she's pg.

Good luck with everything - I bet you're mom will love that Christmas announcement

I had a miscarriage in 2006 so I am a little scared that it could happen again.

My daughter has had several miscarriages and thinks she might be pregnant again. Keeping my fingers crossed for both of you.

Just got back from my weigh in and I'm down 1.2lbs. I went back to the old program and like it a LOT better. (I actually found the old slide to figure points for foods online, printed it out and made myself one) I feel like it works better for me. So in 3 weeks I am down 6.6lbs. AND my jeans are getting a LOT looser![/QUOTE

Congratulations! I also preferred the old plan. I think there is too much "wiggle room" in the new plan. I need clear limits on most things!


I also wanted to say Congratulations to Dreamer & Wisher! I had a miscarriage before I had my first son, and I was also nervous to go through it again. At the time, I read that miscarriage is not uncommon in a woman's first pregnancy, and that most of the time it does not repeat itself. I'm wishing for a healthy, happy pregancy for you!

And I know that WW doesn't let you weigh in during pregnancy, but I do think that if I were to go through another pregnancy, I would still want to track what I was eating - it is too easy for me to say "Well, I'm supposed to be gaining weight, so it is OK to have another DQ Blizzard this week. I am sure you'll find a great balance!

That's exciting news. Congratulations. I will keep you in my thoughts.

How much does everyone exercise, how many days and for generally how long. I know everyone is different however, I feel I have to exercise with a good 40 minutes of get my heart rate up 7 days a week. And personally I hate it. The last few weeks I've only been exercising for 5 days and I feel that it's not enough but I just want a break some days.

I'm really enjoying the exercise now -- it's much easier to do 25 pounds less than where I was in April. On Mondays, I take a Zumba toning class. Two weekdays I walk -- either outside or on my treadmill. It is too hard to run in the dark --which comes at 5:00 -- trying to avoid ice patches. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, I get to do my running. 40 minutes yesterday with 20 minutes walking; 50 minutes running and 10 minutes walking today. It took weeks to get to this point and it's cool.

My Sister, daughter and I have committed to each other that we are going to do Disney World's Princess half marathon in 2012. Yup, we're really going to do it!

Good for you on the PHM 2012. I've committed it to memory so I'll be cheering your training on the next year, . Hey isn't that usually in March? I actually may even be there to cheer you on in person! As for exercise, I know this is probably not the same, but the Wii released zumba. I really want to try it, may rent it first to see if I like it on the Wii. Still loving my elliptical. I feel I get a great work out on it but, feel I have to work out every day on it. I got to be too much of a wimp going out in this cold weather to walk or run. And I'm in NC not even Michigan!!! You would think I'd be with the cold being a Yankee and all .

In 2011, PHM is on 2/27. They haven't set the 2012 date yet, but we're hopeful it will be about the same time. I haven't seen the Wii Zumba yet. My Zumba instructor is such a great gal; she is tiny and so full of energy. She really keeps us motivated and moving. I'm glad your elliptical is working for you. DD16 wants to get one. I like getting outside -- even when it's 20 degrees and snowing. It just feels refreshing. I think I would like NC weather a bit better.

Hey Girls!! Hope everyone is having a great Monday. I've been running around all day today. Christmas came early for DD today, whe went for her eye exam and her opthomologist agreed to let her have contacts. She was smiling from ear to ear. She's been wearing glasses since she was 5 and she is almost 13. I'm really trying to stay on track today too, ended up stopping at McDonalds for lunch, I got a hamburger and apples. So think that wasn't too bad. Hope everyone else is doing ok today.

That's great for your DD. It will be a change for her, but she sounds like she is ready.

I think your lunch sounds perfect. I just love that you can get apple slices at places like McDonald's and Subway. It really helps you stick to the plan.
