I love your blog! And a similar thing happened to me Andrea. I started training for a half marathon, getting my big butt back in shape. I started feeling so sluggish and suspected I was pregnant. We have been preventing so I thought “nah, there’s no way.” Except for me, it was a positive. So my getting buff is on hold but I’ll still root you on to lose your last ten!!

It’s been weeks. Too many weeks. I couldn’t even admit to my weight gain. Hoping to turn it around soon and start working towards my goal again…instead of where I last left off.

I can only imagine what hubs was thinking. Probably something like “if she thinks I’m gettin’ snipped again, she can forget it”

You are hilarious!!! I totally have the same “find out your pregnant suddenly look 3 months!” That made my morning…I needed a good story :) p.s. maybe you gained 4 lbs in muscle…If you ran 12 miles this week it could have happened :)

Hi Andrea,

you know I’ve been following you a while on this and first I just want to say that you can do it — keep it up! I would have just about cried if I stepped on the scale and saw it go up 4 pounds. But I am sure you will stay positive — your energy and enthusiasm just exudes from your blog. :) I mentioned this before, but wanted to ask you again: have you done any sort of body fat tests? Because your weight may have gone up, but your body fat may have decreased which would help explain the weight gain. Also, I know you use SP, and I have as well. But, I was just not losing and it was very discouraging. So, I did the FREE 1 week trial to WW online to see if I was eating enough. Super easy to sign up, super easy to cancel. And I had not been eating enough overall. I might have lost some weight here and there but overall it was not good. But with WW, I have been much more successful. Anyway, it’s just a thought — might help you reevaluate what you need for intake. Keep up the great work!
