WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O? I was 101 lbs (BMI of 17.1) -- my lowest adult weight, down from 108 when I started.
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments? I did not intend to get this low--I think got carried away running, and even loosening my dietary restrictions I had trouble gaining any weight back or stopping my weight loss. Exercise-wise, I started out running for an hour daily in July, but delayed my cycle in October and November, and so had to cut back to just walking for an hour daily. But I was very faithful about walking each day, and it became a really nice part of my routine!

Things that make me feel great about my sway: I was really good about the exercise and was my lowest adult weight.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I ate more meat and fat than I'd intended to, and I would've preferred to get pregnant with one attempt and jump and dump. I'm also just a bit of a pessimist and sure that it'll be a boy!
