Reasons You May Be Gaining Weight
You're on Medication
If you’ve started a new medication and feel as though your weight is creeping up, you could be right. Some medications can slow your body’s metabolism and/or stimulate appetite. These include some antidepressants and mood stabilizers, antihistamines, insulin and anti-inflammatory drugs. Check with your doctor to determine whether you can consider switching medication to avoid the side effect of unwanted weight gain.
What to Wear When You're Expecting?
Raid Others' Closets and DepartmentsTrying to keep a record of some of my favorite outfits during this pregnancy. Here are five...
Tuxedo Jacket at Macy's juniors department -- not maternity. Tee by H&M. Tie by Brooks Brothers (via Ben Blair's closet). Pants by Nine Times Three (more on them later, they are my fave pants). Shoes by Guess. Tuxedo Jacket at Macy's juniors department and Wear When You're Expecting.
You're Confusing Healthy with Low-Calorie
While a first step for healthy eating is to stick with heart-healthy plant fats (like olive oil), all fats -- healthy or not -- still have the same amount of calories: about 120 per tablespoon. Heart-healthy nuts can be a great snack, but choose portion controlled servings since just a small handful has 100 calories.

In fact, she says, every woman needs a killer cocktail dress, no matter her size or shape.
Tip: For dressy styles that flatter the figure, look for empire waistlines, wrap styles and a-line shapes with eye-catching details like sweetheart or scalloped necklines, ruching or asymmetrical hemlines.
