checking in---miss you guys!

Hi All,

So happy all my detox buddies are still going strong. I really miss
you all and miss detoxing too. I can't wait until I can do it again.

I think I must be the only genius who decided to go off birth control
for the detox. So I'm about 5 1/2 months pregnant now, but thankfully
I still weigh less than I did pre-detox. One nice benefit is that I
still had all my chubby clothes and can still wear them, so I haven't
had to buy too many maternity clothes. I also am so much healthier
than I was before. I'm sure I could not have survived the first
trimester and planned a rush wedding (my fiance--now husband-- and I
moved it up to December for obvious reasons) without detoxing first.
What a whirlwind the last few months have been!

I don't even want to tell you how bad my diet's been. For the first
trimester all I could do was eat bread and butter all day to survive
my morning sickness. I know its awful--such poor nutrition for the
little one--but what can you do?

I can't wait to detox afterward to lose any weight gain and feel great
again. Not sure how long that will be--I nursed my son for almost two
years, and would never detox while nursing, so it could be a while. I
hope you're all still around when the time comes.

Congrats Wendy and Lisa on all your weight loss!

Love and blessings to all!

Ps. I miss my chi machine. Not safe for pregnancy and so I've adopted
her out to remove the temptation. :(

Hi all! SoCalGal, you are not the only one. I got pregnant just
shortly after my detox. Actually, I was doing a short 7-day detox
about a month after my detox and couldn't figure out why I was craving
protein so much. I only made it 3 days! I guess my body really
needed the protein for the little one! I am 21 weeks right now and
much healthier than I was with my first pregnancy. Also, I still
weigh more than 10 pounds less than I did pre-detox and have not been
gaining weight nearly as rapidly as I did with my first.

I'm also looking forward to doing another detox. But, like you, it
will most likely be awhile since I nursed Ashleigh for about a year.

Oh, and I am having a boy!!! I hope all is well with everyone here
that helped me in the past.
Hugs, Heather
