Thank you!!!

I go to the gym about 3 to 4 days a week and still do my hour on the elliptical (random setting, level 19)....I had worked up to that by the end. I am careful and don't move quite as fast as I used to....but it's good and get's my HR up....and keeps me strong. I don't do a lot of weights right now so I don't strain myself in any way..since I am coming up on being 6 months along.

Awesome! I just have to remember that I CAN exercise through pregnancy. Thanks so much for your response.

Tam, Wow, you look absolutely stunning!!!

And you are a way better person than me! I lost 40lbs before I got pregnant....and here I am, my youngest is 1-1/2 yrs old and I'm 60 lbs overweight! A prime example of the "eating for two" syndrome.

You are truly amazing and such an inspiration to us all. Not only are you beautiful on the outside, but you are a beautiful person inside, too (and probably one of the nicest people on the forums).

COngratulation's you look so amazing and happy!!!!

This is today. Ignore my baggy sweats! Will be 24 weeks on Friday..so about 6 months, I guess! My body is starting to look strange! The weird angles!! ;)

Tam you look great!!!

Thanks Chrissy!!

you're pregnant?

Tam! I look more pregnant than you do!

Japs and hopgadlng!! You two make me feel good!!

You look great Tami! You totally rock a cute little pregnant belly!

Congratz honey. i wish u the best of luck with your new baby... you look great!

My official 24 week "bump" pic. Taken today..at 24 weeks exactly!

I can't believe you're at 6 months!!! Here is my picture at SIX AND A HALF months:


Please, please, please... feel fabulous about yourself!!!! I hope I can be more like you when we get pregnant with our next one. It's partly why my goal is by the time my hubby comes home from his deployment! Thanks for being an inspiration!

NOW you look pregnant!
Super cute!

Thanks! I feel huge sometimes...but was told today at a playdate that I was tiny!! Sounds good to me!

It's weird how you picture yourself different than what you are!!

Yeah, I thought I wasn't that big until I got the picture back!

Seriously, though. You have every right to be proud of yourself and all your hard work. And you really need to accept that you actually ARE tiny when people you tell you so. You deserve it!

You are sooooo beeeeeeeaaaaaaa uuuuuuu ttttt iiiiiiiii ffffff uuuuuuullllllll tooooo meeeeeeee
Can't you seeeeeeeeee


You look gorgeous dahling

Thanks woman!!

You look wonderful!!!

You look good - And it shows you don't have to stop everything because you are pregnant- Especially since you are working out instead of acting like pregnancy is a sickness.
Keep up the great work and you will be back to your pre-pregnancy body/goal body within your 8 weeks post partum- All the mom's will be jealous of you.

Keep it up

Thank you! I am going to try for sure!!!!! 3 months to go!!

Tam---you look FABULOUS!!!!! I am so glad you are keeping up with the exercise while you are pregnant---by your six week check up you will be back to your prepregnant weight.---I've seen that happen a lot with women who really take care of themselves while they are pregnant. Your baby is getting lots of good food!

I am actually enjoying YOUR pregnancy----great job!!!

Thank you! You give me hope!!

I am exercising and eating well and just staying active over all, so I feel pretty good that my recovery and post-baby weight-loss will be pretty good!! *fingers crossed!!*

Glad you are enjoying my pregnancy too!!

I'm a personal trainer with pre/post natal designation. Just wanted to chime in here If you have a normally progressing, healthy pregnancy and you were involved in an active lifestyle consistently for a solid 3 months or more before pregnancy you can continue your regular routine without interruption unless some kind of actual physical discomfort dictates otherwise. I've had clients (myself included!) who were dancers and danced right up until the end. Ligaments loosen and centre of gravity is changing but if you listen to your comfort zone you can confidently lift weights, do cardio and so on.
Sometimes women just go for a couple of sessions with a pre/post-natal trainer to get some routines then go from there on their own. Great investment if you want to make the most of an active pregnancy or if you want to modify your routine in the second half once you get bigger and feel a little more awkward

Tami, you look AMAZING and are SUCH an inspiration!
