Julie- you are so cute! I wouldnt go buy the onesie though. I know exactly which one you are talking about and they have it out every halloween, so it may be in your best interest to have the baby THEN buy the onesie...trust me it will still be $3 and you can get the right size! Im just saying cause my son was a thanksgiving baby and I bought a bunch of cute thanksgiving stuff for him before he was born..and of course he is a monster and it didnt fit, even though he was only like 10 days old when thanksgiving rolled around. He skipped newborn size altogether, wore size 3months for maybe a month and then stayed at 6-9 months for awhile! So thats jsut my 2 cents..wait it out. If you really cant wait then I suggest buying 3-6 month...
Im so over the wedding bit now, lets move on to the next kid already!0 -

You're right Cris. I was going to get the 3-6 month size just in case I had a monster. Figured I can put a smaller baby in bigger clothes better than I can squeeze a baby into something too small. :laugh: Theoretically, the earliest I could have a (full term) baby would be July (correction -- June), so it would be 3.5 (correction: 4.5) months for Halloween at the oldest. Assuming I actually got pregnant in the next 4 months which of course I'm not counting on. I think I've thought about this onesie a little too much.
It's just that what if they DON'T have it next year? :laugh: I guess I'll live.

Julie: I heard once that October 5th is the most common birthday in the United States because New Year's is the most common conception time. So, if you want an October baby, you should practice a lot in January. Just saying. I love telling my boyfriend this fact considering his birthday is October 7th...hehe.
Cris: If you want to see previews of Insanity, the program Jess will be starting, you can view it for free at beachbody.com. I'm starting ChaLean Extreme next week and even though it's a Beachbody program as well, I had to go to youtube to view the infomerical in full. Oh, and thanks for the comment about being hotter...you and my bf are apparently on the same page there.
Jess: I have hear that increasing calcium helps with weight loss. I read the thread you posted about it and like one of those who have responded, I take a few Tums each day. However, I think I'll switch to Caltrate or a similar product with Vitamin D. I also take Flintstone chewable vitamins which have calcium and vitamin D, so I may actually be doing better than I thought. My nails have been growing like crazy lately, but I think part of that is the high amounts of ice cream I tend to consume, too. No matter what, added calcium can't hurt because we all want to prevent osteoporosis, after all!0 -
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I PROMISE THEY WILL HAVE IT NEXT YEAR!!!!
Im doing really well so far today...sticking to the meals I have planned, drank over 100oz in water already...now if I can make it through the rest of the day I should be able to stick to this again...the first day for me is always the hardest. Yesterday didnt count because I ate like 3,000 calories.
Im really sore from c25k...I know you are supposed to take days in between but my plan was to redo it using M-Tu and Fri as running days and Wed and Thur are my spin class nights (yes I am totally addicted)...we'll find out tonight how well I do with double run days!0 -
Jess - I have also heard about the calium thing... and even if it doesn't aid it weight loss, it's SUPER important to get all of your calcium. It'll save you possible bone issues later. (my mom the nurse would be so proud of me and my calicum PSA)
Julie - Your baby fever is contagious!
I just need to stick it out another year... my doc said to start prenatal vitamins now, keep up the weight loss and for me and the man to (direct quote coming) "enjoy each other". Haha! She also recommended lots of yoga... the less stressed you are the better your chances. Good luck! 0 -

Yoga is good, but Bed pilates is better0 -
julie - i agree with cris...i had a huge baby (she was 10 1/2 lbs 2 weeks early , expecting to be 13 lbs), doctor told me at about 6 months to NOT buy 0-3 stuff she won't ever fit into it
I concieved mid october and had a july baby
My sister in law has 2 october babys oct 13 and oct 31st ...how weird is that...so they definetly like to get it on in january 0 -
All this baby talk is cracking me up!! tstout I had no idea you had baby fever too! Maybe you should try bed pialates AND yoga! HAHA!!
Thank you all for the calcium info. I started taking the Citrical last night.
Heather-My Mom told me the same thing that a few others posted on the discussion about how you need vit d so that way the calcium basically doesn't go to "waste" or however they put it. And the citrical has it. I'm going to Sam's to stock up!
Deb-That is a big baby! I hope you didn't do a natural birth! When I was born I was preemie but was still only like 4 pounds. I could fit in the palm of my dads hand. What happened? I bloated up quick! LOL
Cris-Good job staying on track today. I'm proud of you! I think doubling up on your running days will be okay for awhile. Your body was use to running so I don't see it doing any damage. Just listen to your body.0 -

I am supposed to take vit D with teh calcium i am just bad about taking it , dr said i was deficent in vit d along with alot of the us due to not being outside as much...
Yes she was..when i was pregant people asked me all the time if i was having twins.....Serena was almost 9 , which i thought she was pretty big till i had abby...and both c-sections...!!!!0 -
Nov is apparently popular because of Valentine's day...which is most likely around the time I conceived :devil:0

Deb I thought Brayden was rough...8lbs 9 ounces....I had a vaginal delivery though! WITH LOTS OF DRUGS! Julie please take the drugs!!!0

:laugh:
I did have a very brief moment of insanity last week when I contemplated (for like 2 minutes) the idea of natural birth. :noway: I'm 99% sure I'll take the drugs. Though my mom has assured me it'll just "slide right on out" with the hips I have. :grumble:0 -

When I say stuff like this, it makes me feel bad because it's like I'm assuming I'll be able to get pregnant. Honestly, I already feel like it'll never happen because it's something I want so much (which is the reason I'm trying not to expect it to happen right away & to be calm about it). But fair warning, if it hasn't happened by this time next year I *will* indeed be a basket case. :laugh:0 -

Now may be a good time for you to start doing Yoga! Get all nice and relaxed! haha0 -
I agree with Cris. Bed pilates is WAY better than yoga. I actually hate yoga.
So, I'm trying to track down a copy of the guidebook that should have come with my ChaLean Extreme but Beachbody.com won't let me buy one because I didn't buy the program directly from them. I bought them used and they didn't come with the full guide, which I did not realize. How frustrating. Don't they realize if they keep me happy now, I'll buy one of the other programs at full price down the line?0 -

Yeah, I majorly suck at Yoga. Too high strung.
It's definitely something I need to work on. I bet Yoga would help. :laugh:0 -
I can't do a DVD of Yoga. I have to take it at a gym. But has to be a specific kind. I don't like it all fast paced. I can't move that quickly! That isn't relaxing for me. Nice slow movements are good for me.
Heahter-Try posting a discussion? Maybe someone can scan ya a copy of theirs maybe?0 -
Jess: I was thinking about posting a link. I have an email out to my Beachbody coach to see if she can get me a copy. If not, I'll see if someone can scan it. Did you see the blog someone posted today of her Pre-Insanity and Day 15 Insanity pics? They're amazing!0
-
Yes I did!! What's great is she weighed about what I do when she started and 15 days in she's at 201. I know I wont get the same exact results but if I could get CLOSE to that before the wedding I just might cry. If I saw 199 before the wedding there would be tears for sure!!! I watched the video on the website and I'm scared to death but I'm going for it! Go hard or go home. It's time for me to do something and stop making excuses! I'm pumped! haha...can ya tell!?Jess: I was thinking about posting a link. I have an email out to my Beachbody coach to see if she can get me a copy. If not, I'll see if someone can scan it.

Jess -- If I can get Insanity for free (ahem.... you didn't read that), I'M WITH YOU! I was considering P90X but I don't want to have to buy the extra equipment right now. What good is a chinup bar going to do me anyway when there is NO WAY in h*** I can do a chinup right now (or ever before in the history of me)?0

hahaha....I'm usually not very good at taking hints or beatin around the bush but I'll look into how I can get ya some Insanity if your interested. See if I can spread the insanity love to you asap if you want to start with me on Monday.0 -

Oh, I wasn't hinting! I actually meant if I can get it free through other means.

See I really suck at this game! LOL I can see what I can do about sending you a copy if you want.0 -
Julie: My bf has been considering P90X because an acquaintance of his can get it, but the workouts are 1-1.5 hours per day! ChaLean Extreme (weight lifting based workout) is 30-40 minutes per day, so way more doable for me. The bf has the chin up bar and I've been trying for months to get to the point where I can do just ONE chin up and I'm still a LONG way from it. I'm not sure I've ever done one in my life, either. Same goes for real pushups.
Jess: How long are the Insanity workouts? I guess I forgot to pay attention to that when I watched the preview. I'm really getting pumped up, too. I have emails out to a few people who may be able to get me a copy of the guide book that I'm missing. Boo! That would be the downside of being cheap, I guess! Live and learn, right?0 -
Okay, I am finally caught up. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: YAY, Cris is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Deb, good luck with the prequal.
Heather,Jess, you guys are amazing with these more advanced workouts. I am still doing Leslie Sansone walk fit.
Julie, TAKE THE DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first baby was premature she was due Oct. 16 conceived in January:blushing: Had her Sept. 17th and she was a whopping 6 pounds 9 ounces with another month to grow. Used drugs (from the hospital) Second baby came day before due date at 9 pounds 5 ounces and she was vaginal. Drugs again but they did me NO GOOD, 3rd baby also due in Oct. Oct 4th to be exact. ha! came 2 weeks early and she was 8.5 pounds Vaginally again. Then Ry came I decided I did the whole giving birth in pain because I am sorry those drugs they give in the iv don't do anything but make you HIGH and in pain. So I had the epideral. Ohhhhhh, that was bliss. I laid in bed and watched tv visited with my hubby took a nap. Oh so nice. but he was a 9 pounder and they took him c-section. So get an EPIDERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also don't stress, I know it is hard not to, But don't . My mom TRIED to get preg with me and after 3 years she said forget it. and bam she was preg with me then preg with my bro 6 months after my birth. Just a tad of advice from one momma to a soon to be momma. By the way doctors are liars. they call it 9 months but it is 9 completed months=40weeks! Start taking prenatal and folic acid. Look it up but it is suppose to be wise to get started on those things0 -
Just wanted to let everyone know that I will not be weighing in on Fridays. I do not plan to participate in the percentage of weight loss thing. I however will be posting my weight loss and percentage on Tues. The reason I have decided to change this is because weighing in on Friday's gives me a sense of I can over eat on the weekends. I think weighing in on Tuesday will make me a bit more accountable over the weekend. I hope this works so next tuesday I will begin posting my weight loss!!!!0

OMG, I am gone for an afternoon and ya start talking about conception, babies, vitamins, and workout videos.About the conception part, well I guilty of 3 late September/October babies all being 2/3 weeks early...and I was also an October (4th) baby...yuck, to think my parent were doing the naughty...
I didn't do Shred today. I was so tired from the beating I got yesterday. I might just do some walking later...
Jess, I am intrested in the Insanity videos..and I will try anything to see a decrease in the scale! I wanted to do P90x however, hubby down for all that sweating and, well, it's too mcuh money to be coughing for just me doing it. I will totally do it with you..all the motivation sista.
Be back tomorrow. Have a great evening girls!0 -
Hi sisters! I tried to post via my new Droid phone this afternoon but I got confused and somehow I clicked "report" on Heather's post. So sorry Heather if you get some sort of message about an inappropriate post. :ohwell: I tried to fix it, but as you can see, my post never arrived here.
I've been super depressed about work. I know things will get better, it's just trying to make it through the day. I love the kids! It's the adults!!!
I miss you all and promise to be here more often now that I am getting my life in order. I love you all!!!0 -
Yay Blue! I'm so happy to see you -- I worry. :flowerforyou:
Momma -- THANK YOU for the advice!! I appreciate all the advice I get, especially from someone who has been there 4 times! My mom also says take the drugs because she didn't get any. She likes to start out the story of not having the option of an epidural with the phrase "In those days" which makes me feel entirely too old. :laugh: I'm taking a multivitamin with 600mcg folic acid & a good bit of iron & calcium (& of course all the other standard multivitamin stuff) already but I think I may go ahead with researching & switching to an over-the-counter prenatal especially since I'm continuing to eat at a calorie deficit until (if) I get a positive hpt. It seems a little surreal to actually be planning a pregnancy when I've spent so many years desperately trying to prevent one. :laugh: :blushing: The pressure is on now because there's a long tradition of the women in my family having their first baby at 27 so I have 11 -12 cycles to get it right. I mean, a family tradition is at stake here!
09.21.10
Calories: 1624 (goal 1905). Deficit for today should be around 700-800 cals.
Exercise: 20 minutes elliptical, 17 minutes running 6-6.5mph intervals & then the gym closed so I had to leave. Challenge 50% complete.
Water: Working on cup #12 I think
Proud: I worked 8.30am-9pm and was super excited to get off work in time to make it to the gym before it closed. I'm really motivated this week. I'm doing this!0 -
Hi Ladies,
Mad day from hell over here ! Wedding planning drama & work overload = unhappy me !
I was so stressed and busy that I didn't have any time left to overeat though :bigsmile:
I was reading the recent posts - lilSpy !!!! exciting !!!!! - we will all be your baby's "weight loss aunties" !!!:laugh:
The other thing I noticed is how hard many of us are on ourselves. I watched an interesting show last night, Thintervention.
She had each of her weight loss clients bring in photos of themselves as children and asked them if they could ever say to that child the types of things they say to their adult selves. e.g. "you're a lazy, good for nothing fat slob" or something of that ilk.
Of course the answer was obvious, you would never scold a small child in the way that we internally scold ourselves all the time.
I
all of you and wanted to pass on this message. We all could be a little nicer to ourselves, I'm guessing, so give yourself a pep talk tomorrow about how wonderful you are. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: 0
