Sounds like I need to get a digital scale. Maybe when I am a little more comfortable with what the difference could be. Haha.
Holly- Bummer about your sick little one. We have been battling illness all winter. I am so ready for spring but of course we have a winter weather advisory today! I hope your house gets better soon.
AJ- I feel you on the house. I have been gone all week during the day and will be gone again today volunteering at my older daughter's classroom. Those are cute shoes! I feel you on the huge feet, I'm 5'9 so I try to justify it and pregnancy growth.
Barb- Maybe try going up a level to see if you enjoy level 2 more. Maybe that will keep you motivated. I did 10 days on each level and had great results.
Welcome everyone new. Hope everyone has a great day!0 -
Wildcat, I'm right there with you on being out of shape. And you're right, not getting enough sleep has SO much to do with it. I hope baby feels better soon.
Amy, get back on the train today! You can do it!
I saw a cool blog on here (of course now I can't remember whose it was) about quick ways to burn 100 calories. It involved things like marching in place, taking a brisk 15-minute walk, etc. You don't have to have a ton of time to get a good burn. That's essential for us mommies! We don't have a lot of time!
Ellen, if I'm legitimately hungry, growling tummy and all, I eat. That's probably not what most MFPers will tell you to do, but it's what I do. If I'm having a starving day, I try to make sure I'm eating healthy, lower-cal stuff instead of noshing on chips or whatever, but I eat. Try to get some extra fiber (and drink extra water with that fiber!) and good lean protein and maybe it will help.
Barb, I would try something different. Sometimes when we get out of a routine it's hard to get back in it without changing things up. It's like after a break it suddenly seems boring. Try something new!
Swtchrypie, your screenname is hard for me to type. I'm gonna call you Switch.
I hope your day goes relatively smoothly. Do what you have to do to keep your sanity! Hopefully the kids will settle down soon.
Today we have a playdate, but the appliance guy is also maybe coming to fix our washer. It broke yesterday mid-load, of course. And now I have no pajamas. I hope he comes today. But I also hope he comes either before or after our playdate. They didn't call me to tell me the appointment (always happens that way -- I have to call the landlord to get the appointment, and she never remembers to call me back and let me know) so I'm not canceling plans. We're going. If they show up and we're not here, maybe they'll complain to the landlord and then she'll start calling me and letting me know these things! Argh!0 -
Hello ladies!! Mind if I join in a bit late? Do you start a new thread each week or just change the dates on this one?
I'm Nicole and I have two kids-DD is almost 4 and DS just turned 2. I try to get them involved in the exercises by using the Wii Fit with them in the mornings. When the weather is above freezing we usually go outside and walk around our (very hilly) neighborhood. I either push both of them in the stroller (they weigh 81 pounds combined!) or I wear DS on my back and push DD. This week I've been trying to work out a bit more with the Wii after they go to bed too, like doing free run or free step for 20 minutes. I also play indoor volleyball on Tuesday nights for two hours. I've been following a vegan diet since the end of November and that's really what has helped me lose so much weight. I have pacreatic issues so I do need to limit my diet quite a bit, but I don't deny myself a few things-in moderation. I really do get sick if I eat too much sugar or fat so that's good motivation to eat well. 0 -
Okay I squeezed in a 20min. Zumba DVD this morning..feeling very marshmallow like since I've only been at the gym once this week. Lucy has a doctor appt. this morning so hopefully we'll figure out what is going on with her. Day 3 of constant fever and sore throat.
I gotta run, check back soon.

Morning Ladies
One more day until the weekend!! Sunday is going to be a girls day out for me, yippie!! I have to fit in a girls day of shopping/lunch/whatever before hubby leaves. Of course the baby will be with me but until they are mostly on solids they don't really count, haha! I have no time in my day to pump so I rarely even leave the house without him unless it's like a quick trip to the store & I know he's not going to want to nurse while I am gone. I really don't mind because they all seem to be growing so fast & that is one one thing that only mommy can still do so they stick with me. Speaking of baby he has his first cold, a bit of a cough & runny nose but luckily no fevers or anything worse. It made for a fussy day yesterday, he just wanted to be held so my workout was cut quiet short. I have been actually fighting a sore throat for a couple of days & last night the sinus stuff hit hard out of no where with a headache & pressure. Other than that I feel okay but it will probably make me less than motivated for my workout today. Only today & tomorrow & I will be done with the Slim in 6. I am excited to see if I can actually see any real results when I do my final pictures. It hasn't been the best 6 weeks cause I missed a week in there but we will see. I did go back down to my last check in weight after jumping up for a day or two for some reason, so I'm happy about that. Now if it just keeps going down that will make me even happier!
Barb~if you decided to stick with the 30DS I am thinking of starting it for the first time on Monday maybe we can keep each other motivated through it! I haven't looked at it yet really is it suppose to be 30 days straight or do you get a break day each week? Cause I think I need that one day each weekend to relax or just to run around & not have to worry about when I will get my workout in.
Well speaking of workout since they baby nursed & fell back to sleep, my oldest is out the door to school & the other two are just in veg mode watching Curious George maybe I will try to get that workout in now! Hope everyone has a nice day.0 -
not all caught up....but have enjoyed what i read.
barb--you just have to move forward. as tony of p90x fame says--Just :Press Play. Do your best and forget the rest.
And that is how i got out of bed before 6am today and did Core from p90x. hard b/c my abs are definitely WEAK. but disappointed that the cal burn wasn't higher. oh well....
plan for today--drink water, get stretch in?
plan for rest of week--exercise everyday, eat protein, drink water to flush out that fat. NO weighing till Tuesday.
what will you do to end the week strong??0 -
Wildcat ~ Don't let it scare you, it's so so fun! You're getting back on track and you will be back to running 4-5 miles again!
Amy ~ LOL! I work out way too hard to eat like a bird ;P
Ellen ~ Yes! On days I feel like that, I have an entire glass of water before everything I eat, and after. Helps keep the hunger away. Just try to eat healthy and you'll get through!
Barb ~ I think you are more than ready for level 2!
Swtchrypie ~ Good luck keeping the kids entertained today...I know how trying days like today are.
AJ ~ Swtchrypie was hard to type for me until I sounded it out...Sweet Cherry Pie LOL And now I hear Poison every time I type it Hope you had fun with your playdate!
Welcome Nicole! We start a new thread every week and we are just a laid back group that talks about everything. Congrats on your loss so far and becoming a vegan, I'm sure it was hard to do!
Holly ~ love the new pic! cute workout outfit!
Stacey ~ Hmmm...I might just be crazy and do Zumba tonight, even though I've already did strength training and turbokick. I'm going to eat healthy as I can tomorrow, Saturday I am going to eat well all day, then I am headed to a wine and cheese tasting party where I will be very very bad, but back in the saddle Sunday!
BTW, I am seeing an endocrinologist on the 19th and talk about possibly having mild hypothyroidism...I have symptoms that I didn't even know were symptoms other than not being able to drop weight even for as hard as I work and healthy as I eat...I should weigh 120! LOL Anyway, other symptoms are irregular periods (every 3 weeks, lasts 6-8 days), irritability, tired ( I get 8-10 hours of sleep a night and could still take naps)...so we'll see. I've had a nodule on my thyroid for at least 8 years, it has grown 1cm over the years (1.1cm-2.3cm) but it hasn't made my THS levels off at all. But there are other tests that have never been run on me that I'm hoping they will now!0 -
Well, my normal day has been not so normal of a day.............Woke up to a very sick 9yr old.. Emailed with his teacher and she had 5 out of class yesterday..So I am thinking something is going around....lol I have been spraying lysol around here like crzy, I can't afford to be down and out, nor do I want my 4yr old getting it ...But why does it seem all the cleaning in the world won't stop a bug from working its way through the family.....lol
I wasn't able to get to the gym this morning, and its been a week since my procedures ......So my week has been out of routine for me...I am hoping by Monday, I can get back at it ..... Plus having my mom visiting for the week, that always kind of throws my routine off a bit....lol She loves coming to visit and loves to order Cream Of Crab soup.....so yummy..She's killing me....lol
Well, I hope mom's you've had a great Thursday.....YAY for Friday.......Stay Strong and keep moving0 -
Wow, this one is burning up today! Everyone is on. What a nice read. Today was my first day back at getting a "normal" workout in and it felt good. Everyone still has a chunky nose and the kids have a lingering cough, but we are all on the mend. It's snowing....again, so bonus workout for shoveling later. If it stops long enough for me to get out there.
aj: shoes look great, my feet always swell when I exercise
So I wish you luck on the size.
4love: I'm with you, I'd actually like to keep my "heavy" sized buns, but thats the first thing to go one me:( No butt or hips.....kinda sad actually :laugh:
kata: you are my hero! Your back looks AMAZING!
ellen: me! me! I normally have those days after eating REALLY good for a couple, only I normally do eat everything that's not nailed down. I end up going over cals, but not crazy. I eat 1/2 portions or really low calorie snacks. I don't go by a box of ho ho's or anything. My main cheating is mini marshmellows. There so not the best thing in the world, but who can eat more than a cup of them 150cals.
blue: Yah for crawling babies!!
bina: Great weight loss!
PNC: welcome!! Pretty new here too. We do start a new thread on Mondays...nicolee516 does that (Thank you nicolee!) Normally late morning. She'll post the thread on this one.
holly: Great pic

Welcome, PNCTink! We do start a new week, but Nicole always links at the end of the old thread. Some of us (namely me) always forget and keep posting in the old thread, so you might have to go back a couple of posts. But it'll be there. My kids love doing the Wii Fit too! It's fun for us. I let them choose some of the activities, so they always go for the silly ones, and then I'll pick strength exercises in between their fun ones. We all get the movement we need, and it's fun.
Holly, so sorry to hear she's still sick! Keep us posted.
Christi, I never pumped either. It was a waste of time. Took forever, and then my babies always refused a bottle anyway. I just took 'em along in the wrap carrier and like you said, it wasn't a big deal. Hope you and baby both feel better soon. Take care of yourself.
Stacey, GO YOU for getting up so early to work out! That's awesome!
Katie, I never would have figured that out. I feel dumb. :laugh: That makes more sense. Glad you're seeing the specialist. Hopefully you can get some answers!
clcole, I hope the rest of your family doesn't get sick. Take care.
DJ, glad everyone's on the mend and you were able to get your workout in. It snowed here, but we just caught the tail end of the storm so it was just a dusting. I'm so over snow!
After wearing them around the house for two days, I've decided that I'm not going to exchange my shoes. My feet feel really good with them on. I even did my workout today with them, and I have no foot pain! I usually do have a little pain after a barefoot workout. So, I'm keeping them. I was also happy with my workout today. I did a custom workout with my EA instead of doing one of the programs, and I just avoided the exercises that usually hurt the fronts of my thighs. I got a good burn, worked up a nice sweat, was able to maintain a good heart rate for a longer time. And now that I'm done, I don't feel weak and my legs aren't twitchy. I think I was right, I just have to go easy on that particular muscle group. So that's the new plan. We'll see how it goes for the future.0 -
Aj-glad your new shoes are working out well!
Sick kids are the pits! Come to find out Lucy has a virus, 5-7 day recovery time and highly contagious. This may very well put off her birthday party for Sunday afternoon. It also means no gym for me until it's gone. Knowing my luck she'll get over it just in time for Julia to get it!
I did get a Zumba work out in so at least I've done something today. In other news it's snowing here again, darn it! We are due for 2-5 inches..yuck!0 -
Swtch-It's very exciting!
Binabodu-Thanks, I'll have to try that!
AJ-I'll try that too, if the other idea doesn't work for me.
Stacey-Thanks, I'll have to remember that and keep it in my mind for the next bummer day!
Kat-Thanks for the motivation!! I could really use a push right about now!
Now, on to the bad news. The car we just bought is going through a spell like it wants have issues and we can't really afford car repairs unless the place will allow us to do payments to them. My inlaws have a place they go to that does that with them, and they said if we can't find anyone else, they will take us to their people. I have one friend who might be able to help...I hate cars!! :mad: We have only had it for 1 1/2 weeks and its already giving us grief!
What do you all think of my new pic? I have a few others, not sure if I will put them up or not, they are from a boudoir session my sister in law did for me, which was part of hubby's vday gift. Now to make some dinner. BBL ladies. Hope your Thursday was better than mine!0 -
Welcome PNCTink!
Aj~glad the shoes fit good.
Barb~LOVE the new pic! Good luck with the car problems.
Katie~Good luck with the check up at Dr. Hope all goes well.
Don't remember anything else that was posted sorry. I got my work done early again today. I am hoping that I can make it through tomorrow and also get it done early again. I am taking my sup's hours (5 hrs) so I will be working a total of 7 hrs. Why do kids have to give such a hard time with doing chores? Seriously my 7 yo is driving me crazy! She refuses to do her chores this week. :grumble: A couple of weeks back it was a dream to get her to do hers it was my 9 yo that gave me problems with doing his chores. Okay enough rant got to go get dinner finished so we can eat.0 -

I love the new pic Barb!!!!0 -
Holly & Barb - Beautiful pics, we sure do have some hot mamas on here!! Barb, when I looked at your pic I saw that you are from South Bend. That's where my parents grew up, we still have family there, I love it.
Stacey - Great job doing P90X today!!
Katie - Good luck at the doctor, I hope you get some answers and solutions to help you feel better.
AJ - Glad you're keeping your new kicks, I was jealous of all the post of new shoes so I asked my parents to get me some for my birthday. :happy:
Raining cats and dogs today, looks like my hike might be canceled. At least they offer it weekly so I can always shoot for next week if the weather doesn't get better. Also planned on a ride with my dad tomorrow but I won't ride on wet roads, we always go on a very hilly route and although he's a pro at riding, I'm not.
Got some great deals today!! LOL, I love to bargin shop and use coupons. Today I got 2 packs huggies, 1 big box of huggie wipes, 3 12 packs of diet coke (for hubby), 5 bottles of J&J baby shampoo/wash. Total spend was $16 and I earned coupons for $6 off my next purchase, YAHOO!
Is anyone else itching to start buying new clothes. I literally think about it all the time. I'm so ready to be in a smaller size. Planning on hitting the w/o hard this weekend since I have more eyes around to watch the kiddos. Tomorrow I'm making homemade pizza for my parents but I'm also making a huge salad and some steamed veggies. Thinking I might make one pizza a veggie one also.
I think I just lost brain cells watching the Jersey Shore. LOL, I needed to watch some mindless TV and that sure did the trick.0 -

Thanks, Amy. I don't live here by choice. I'm actually trying to figure out how we can move out of the area. I've lived here my whole life and I'm getting to the point, where I hate this town, I hate the people who live here (simply bc of ND (as you can tell I'm not a ND fan, sorry!)), and I hate cold and snow (never have liked it before either)......but right now, we're stuck here.0 -
Barb - Def a hard place to live if you don't like ND or snow!! I like both so that's partially why I like it. Also, I have good memories w/my grandparents there. I felt the same way when we lived in OK and I am so happy we left, it just didn't feel like "home" anymore.0
-
Amy-The ND group here, living here, just seem to get more rude by the year....each year we get all sorts of people around here, and they just don't have the same respect as they did when I was a kid. I'm so sick of the ND college kids thinking they rule this area....which is why I can't stand it, I need to find a town that is warm with no snow and no college I'm not asking for much, am I? 0
-
BlueRose- i LOVE the pic!!
4love- awesome job saving, i love coupons they are like crack i swear!!!! it poured here all last night as well. Sorry about not getting out on a hike. I wish we had good hikes out here but I haven't found any.
Thank God its Friday!!! I am ready for the weekend. My baby girl is teething and NOTHING is calming her. TOday was a lot better then yesterday though so I am happy about that!
We have company coming over tonight so I spent the day cooking and cleaning ensuring the house looked good. I kinda got in a groove and when I was done my body wasn't ready to be finished and sitting so I gave my son a mohawk. I am wondering what my husband will do when he sees it tonight haha! I am not too worried about it, its hair it will grow back! Now that I am finally sitting I still feel like I need to be doing something. So I am trying not to do anything too crazy I don't want WIll to come home and not recognize anything I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!!!!!! 0 -
DJ ~ Thanks!!
AJ ~ glad the shoes are working for you!!
Barb ~ Love the pictures!! And all of the ones on FB too. Gorgeous!
Amy ~ I bought a couple pairs of pants, but I don't expect to get any smaller, so that's good! LOL You can go to a thrift store and find pretty decent cheap stuff!
Swtchrypie ~ Mohawks are so cute!! I want to give my son one, but he doesn't like messy hair and gets mad at me when I do something different to it! LOL
Here's what I've been busy doing all day:
I painted them and made little wine charms for the bottom. This is for my friends bachelorette wine and cheese tasting party. Only about 20-30 more to go! LOL After I bake them, you can wash them in the dishwasher without harming the paint, how cool is that?! I love being crafy! 0 -
BTW no workout for me today...my legs are very sore from strength training, and turbokick, and zumba...I went a little crazy! Today is a rest day, hope to burn it up tomorrow though!0
-
Thank you ladies.
Kat-those are so cool! I really like those! Good luck getting them all done. Being crafty can be fun but also tiring, esp when you have that many yet to do.
This post will be short, bc its been a long day.
Will check in tomorrow. Night ladies!0 -
KAT~ SOOOO adorable!!!!! I am not crafty what so ever! So I love being inspired by others lol!
Blue rose~ Your pic is soooo adorable you look so pretty!!!
Hubby and I just got back from a two day marriage seminar at our church and it was amazing! We laughed so much our cheeks hurts!!! I am just starting pilates to help tone up so if any of you ladies have a suggestion/comment i would love to hear it!
Here's to a GREAT weekend ladies!
Headed to the beach tomorrow morning with the fam for the first time since LO was born! 0 -
Got my 3 little boys in bed, hubby took the oldest to the movies so I thought I'd sit down with a glass of wine & try to catch up on some reading here!
There has been so much activity it's great! I love that there are so many of us mommys out there supporting each other on our weight loss journeys. We all come from different places, have different number of children, are different ages, have different goals in our weight loss & heck in our lives but we can all come together here to support one another in becoming the healthy hot mamas we know that we can be! I just want to thank all of you for giving me the motivation that I need each and every day. I know that I can log on here and type whatever is going on and that everyone will understand and have some advice for me, it's great!
I shoveled snow today then did about half of my workout video because the kiddos were being stinkers & playing instead of napping so after stopping & restarting the dvd about 3 times I decided with the shoveling I had burned enough for the day. Then with my exercise I was at like over 2400 calories for my goal, seriously that is never going to happen. I have a hard enough time getting in my calories, yes I know that drives some people crazy to hear but I just don't eat that much. It has probably been part of my problem trying to lose weight before. Right now MFP has my goal set at 1550 a day and I can usually get to almost 1200 or a little over, there is no way that I can eat the 1550 plus my exercise on top of that. Up to this last week I had been loosing about 2lbs a week but then I started going back up in pounds. I am not sure if maybe it's muscle weight since I feel like I could be getting more toned. I went back down a little but only to about what my weigh in was at the beginning of the week. I have come to the end of the Slim in 6 series so tomorrow I will weigh, measure & do my ending pictures to try to see my progress but I am afraid I will be disappointed. I feel like the last couple of days I have been so bloated so that will ruin the progress I thought I had been seeing. It's not TOM cause I just had that but since baby is only almost 5 months old & is still exclusivley breastfeeding I am still having spotting inbetween those cycles so maybe that has something to do with it since I have been spotting the last couple of days. I don't really know what my body will do since the last two times after I had my baby I got pregnant by the time they were 8 months I'm not sure how the weight loss will go from this point. It will be all new to me again to go a whole year without being pregnant, haha! I guess I will just have to see what happen as the next week or so goes on. I am trying to decide if I want to start the next dvd I picked on Monday or take a week and maybe just try to go to the gym in the evenings to change up the normal day to day before starting a new dvd.
Okay I have totally rambled on long enough, haha guess that is what you get when I drink a glass of wine while typing since I only have one once in awhile it doesn't take much!! I so better head off to bed, good night all. Have a nice weekend!0 -
Thanks everyone! Thankfully the party is not until April 30th, so I have plenty of time. We are only making for those that RSVP and we are giving them until April 15th so I have time to make them all. I will make a few blank ones for anyone who comes without an RSVP But if everyone comes this project will only cost $45. Not bad for everyone to bring home a custom wine glass and charm!
Eli ~ How fun about the marriage seminar! I've always wanted to do one
Christie ~ I took a look at your diary, and it looks great food wise, other than being really low especially on the days you work out. Maybe instead of trying to fit more meals in, try increasing some of the portion sizes. Like a full cup of milk instead of half when you eat cereal. Or add a little more meat to your sandwiches/wraps. Have a cup of dry cereal with your banana. Little things like that will help increase the calories, and give you a little more energy on workout days!
Going to get ready for strength training (arms) and Zumba at the gym! Going to eat good today so I can eat guilt free tonight at the wine and cheese tasting party Have a great Saturday ladies! 0 -
Hey everyone! I haven't been able to get on the thread lately....so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting the weekly thread each week. Maybe someone on the east coast? I will still be around, but just not the leader. It is great to start the thread each week so that other SAHM's that didn't know about us will see the thread. Let me know if you are interested.0
-
Kat~ When he was one we gave him his first one then let it grow out after a few months. I will tell you this now that he is pretty much 3 it is SO hard to keep it up he plays with it and he jumps on the couch so by the middle of the night it was a BIG fluff! AND way too cute wine glasses! How long do you bake them for? What kinda paint did you use?
So last night we ate with some friends and they made enchiladas. UM yea I only had a half of one but I should of had half of that! It was SO good. Then my hubby came home from the store with coke, reeces, and doughnuts. He said he had a surprise for me. UM thanks! haha I told him no more bad stuff. AH MEN! SO needless to say I gained 1.6.lbs from yesterday. So today is going to be a def pump the jams day! woowhoo!!!!!0 -
Okay ladies after my six weeks of "Slim in 6" this is what my results were.
weight loss: 13.6lbs
measurements loss-
chest: 2" (only one I'm not trilled about, haha)
waist (at belly button): 5"
belly (about three inches below belly buton "baby belly"): 4"
hips: 2 1/2"
thighs: about 2" on both
arms: about 1/2" on both (lost about 1" but then put on muscle & it went back up 1/2" )
Not to bad! And as of this morning I am about 1lb away from my 1st goal weight!
I took my after pics this morning but haven't put them on the computer yet. Not sure if I'm brave enough to post them on here but I will let you know how they look.0 -
I'm not going to do well on the food front today. But I don't really care either. Is that horrible of me? Probably. Not that I don't care about losing weight -- I do. But I care more about not wasting the rest of my dinner from last night, so I'm eating it for lunch. I haven't even put tonight's dinner in my diary yet because I haven't planned it, but I know I'm goign to have a piece of birthday cake. So... definitely over on my cals today. I'm going to work out at least once to combat it, and drink lots of water, and otherwise not worry about it. I feel kind of awful and I feel like I'm making excuses. Actually, I KNOW I'm making excuses. But I'm going to do it anyway. I'm not throwing away my leftovers from yesterday. And I'm not going to just skip a meal to stay under cals. So I guess if I'm going into it with my eyes wide open, knowing that it might slow down my weight loss this week, I can live with that.
In another thread some people were talking about weight training to help burn fat rather than *just* losing weight. I want to do that. I can't get abs if I lose muscle weight, you know? So I'm gonna talk to my hubby and see if we can afford for me to buy some light dumbbells or something so I can try to do a little lifting at home. It's not as good as going to the gym, but since the gym isn't a real option right now, it's something. Any thoughts?
Nicole, I was wondering what happened to you. I'm usually on pretty early in the mornings, so if I can remember I'll start it for you.
Katie, those glasses are so cute!
I know there was a lot more in the thread, but I really have to go get moving. Talk to you all later!0 -
hi ladies! no computer yesterday so just read thru some of the posts. i was soooo sore from core that yesterday was a forced rest day. every muscle twitch hurt. hehe
it's better today and i did my leslie pilates walk.
ugh---i am listening to my son scream (for 30min now) about eating his cereal at the coffee table by the tv....such a bad habit we got him into. we have about 1 more month before we move to new house. so we are trying to establish new habits. you know how that goes....
alright, time to shower and get a move on later girls.
oh!! it's very easy to start the thread each week. it's just a couple of steps of a cut and paste job. i hope someone can step up and take over for nicole (she took over for me 0
