Re: What is making you gain?
I don't know but I think it has something to do with me eating too much bad stuff, not exercising at all, combined with drinking too much as well. I really am a mess and at this point, it is more about my lack of discipline.

Re: What is making you gain?
I think it was us finding ways of getting a 'quick dinner.' We both come in late after work, so we would resort to getting chinese take out, pizza, chicken parm heros... A moment on the lips...But those chicken parm heros are soo good!

This would be me too - I have NO discipline, and I went from being SO good for the 6 months prior to the wedding to totally falling off the wagon
Honestly give the fact that I eat like a slob and haven't exercised in quite awhile, I'm not SHOCKED at all that I've gained so much

Re: What is making you gain?
Even though I'm supposed to be gaining because I'm pregnant, I just went to Dr last night and I'm gaining more than I should so I can attribute it to:
1 - DH's new found fondness for Cold Stone Creamery, which I introduced him to (big mistake)
2 - Remodeling in the house - our kitchen is inaccessible at the moment so it's take out/fast food every night
3 - No exercise since the middle of my 2nd trimester
4 - My job has changed slightly since getting PG: getting alot of desk work only assignments (as a courtesy) where as I used to do alot of running around.

It's definitely portion size. We eat fairly healthily, but when DH cooks, he tends to just half everything and put equal portions on both our plates - it took me a while to realize that I can't eat as much as DH and not expect to look like him

Cooking for him. I used to do very simple dinners during the week, soup, salads, sandwiches, veggie burgers, omelettes, etc. Now, those meals are not substantial enough for DH, so I cook larger meals and end up eating more. Also, he is a big dessert eater, which I didn't usually eat when I lived alone and now I am going right along with it.

I think that is also my problem too. I have no problem calling cereal dinner, he needs steak and rice. Lunch use to be my main meal, now I am cooking and eating big dinners

We're both in school at night (besides working FT) so we eat really late. And I hardly have any time to go to the gym, now that its so close to finals!

I can relate to that. My DH is 6'3' and can eat whatever he wants
For me it's been:
1) Taking seconds at dinner time combined with making rich/fatty dinners;
2) My love of dessert (ice cream in particular);
3) Snacking at work;
4) Going on a cruise for the HM and then heading right into the holiday season.
