I've decided that the show "The Biggest Loser" just isn't for me--how about "The Biggest Gainer" instead??

Today I was at the birthing center and couldn't help jumping on the scale to see if I am at the point of moving the big dial--you know the one that doesn't jump single pound by single pound, but the one that jumps FIFTY POUNDS. Mouths drop.

At 4 mos and 1 week, I have gained a solid 20 pounds on a healthy diet with good exercise. Goodbye 125 small little waist days; hello 145 "where is my waist?" days. Originally my goal was to keep to the 25-35 lb gain recommended for women, but now I can see that I have 5 mos to go and only 5-15 lbs more seems unreasonable and unsafe.

This should be interesting.
