300 extra calories...my butt :)

I am only 7 weeks along and feel like I am STARVING. No morning sickness yet, but I want to eat everything in site. If I don't eat for 2 hrs, I feel my stomach rumbling. Dammit, hope this feeling goes away or I will end up gaining 50 lbs. I think so far, I gained 3. My favorite snack is apple cinnamon cheerios, right out of the box. Mmmm, anyone feel like a total pig?

 Dido!  I used to be able to go 4 hours between meals.  Now, forget it.  I have to eat something every 2 hours or so.   My Dr. told me I should still be able to lose weight until my 7th month, that's going to be tuff.  I guess now we really have to be careful with the "type" of foods we eat.  Well godda go eat some breakfast lol.............

yup i was STARVING every two hours too! Thankfully it didnt take much (quantity) to satisfy the cravings, but boy did i feel like an oinker lol I actually felt like people were staring at me, because it really did seem like i constantly was shoving some food in my mouth lol
Dont worry it will level out =)

Mark a BIG fat check for this one for ME!!! Ahhhhh!!! Today I took the girls shopping and wouldn't you know- I started to feel domesticated! I bought a Halloween cake and then some pumpkin bread that we turned into muffins, and couldn't leave out the banana nut muffins. Oh my word why do I want to eat allof this bs and not to mention NON stop??? I'm lucky if I make it 2 hours between meals or snacking, but I am constantly ALWAYS starving it seems. In the mornings, I'm not hungry normally to start the day, but once I do eat it's like ok whats next?? It's annoying. The only thing I can say is somehow through all this junk and garbage food I've managed to consumed, my scale has bounced around and I'm only at around 5-7lbs gained...dont ask me how cus I EAT!!! There are days when I feel like I don't stop eating...like yesterday for example...and I wake up the next morning dreading the scale and I get things like today where I was back down to 191 versus the 193 the day before...UGH!!!

Oh yeah, I was STARVING in the beginning of my pregnancy. By the end it felt like there was no room to eat anything though. But I will say that, now that I'm breastfeeding, I am WAY more hungry!

Every two hours?...huh...When I was in my first trimester I was hungry every hour on the hour. Boy I felt like I could never get full and I definitely felt like a pig. Chelle, I guess we're normal..LOL..I wanted carbs so bad....I just had to have crunchy, salty all the time. Now I'm leveling out to a normal every two hours, but for a second I thought is there a hole in my pouch cause I can't get full...LOL.. Now I'm back to eating right...proteins and good carbs...but I was mega naughty for a while, but I haven't gained but 1 pound so far and I'm 19 weeks.

You're fine sweetie and enjoy eating something naughty ever now and then...we won't tell (wink)

I gained 50lbs... ughhh lol.  My body totally sucks, before I even knew I was pregnant I gained 10 lbs.  My body loves to cling

I don't get starving, but i do notice when my blood sugar starts to get low and lately that feels like every couple of hours. It seems like I'm eating non-stop these days!

I still haven't gained any weight with this pregnancy and the baby is measuring on the large size of normal for his gestational age. I really doubt I'll gain much at this rate.

I laughed at the OB when they said only 300 more calories are needed, so I said.... 900 calories is enough for me and the baby? I ate every 2 hours, now I don't feel like eating at all. Could be the fact that I still have food poisoning (been a week now).

oh yeah, I am remember that feeling. Still hungry all the time but not that incredible need food now feeling.
I just hope this goes away after the baby... will definitely have a truckload of weight to loose.
