    Hi Everyone!

    I just joined this morning. I'm hoping and praying that 2009 will finally be my year of success in losing weight and KEEPING it off! My husband is on board this time, so that should help! I can't "be good" on my own...he's the heaviest he's ever been and he's ready to get it off for good also.
    I stay at home with Kindyl (4) and Kade (2)...I just started watching my best friends' kids, Avary (4) and Sloan (1)...so, I'm really busy! I'm hoping that connecting with some people like me will help me to stay motivated :wink:

    I turn 29 on Leap Year and will be the big 3-0 in 2010!! So, I REALLY am motivated to be foxy by 30!!!
    Wish me luck!

    ~Amy

    I don't personally have it but it is a work out dvd with Jillian Michaels, I hear the ladies talk about it and it sounds really good but I can't convince my husband to let me get it when I just bought the BL carido max with bob and the sculpting dvd with Jillian so I am stuck with those for now.

    Tanya by the way how are the roads doing? Are they getting any better? Ours are getting worse actually cause the sun is melting what is on top and then when it gets cooler in the afternoon it makes it icy again:grumble: Very glad to see the sun out toady though.:happy:

    30 day shred is a workout dvd with Jillian from the biggest loser. it's a 20 minute workout in circuit form. It's a good workout. I got mine for Christmas but I'm pretty sure you can get them at Walmart or Target or online.

    Welcome Amy.

    The main roads are fine.... they finally sanded our alley. Usually we dont get that because it is not a "city" street...but when the garbage truck is a big roller skate they finally do something... LOL

    I might have to check out that 30 day shred... how hard is it does anyone know??? I am a wuss... :blushing:

    I am a wuss too! I haven't been able to do my dvds because I don't have the muscle strength yet. I went to walmart to get the 30 day shred but they didn't have so I bought other ones so far I can't do the one, so tomorrow I will try the next one. If its easy I am all over it

    Oh my dear mrsbuzz, I hear you loud and clear on the NIGHT TIME!!! I can do so great all day b/c I'm busy going here and there. But at night I put baby Mack down and then I feel like a little kid ready to munch away!

    Mack had his 4 month doctor appt today and they did another round of shots. It's the WORST. Mack did awesome. He cried super hard, but only for a short time and then he was fine. I gave him tylenol before we went in and maybe that helped. The doctor said he's in the 90th percentile for weight! HA HA! I laughed so hard because he was only 5 pound when he was born. I'm on the thinner side but my husband is a really big guy (played college football), so it was awesome to hear that he's such a big boy. My father in law is 6'5" and he's the shortest of 4 boys! Mack is just shy of 18 pounds at 4 months and he was 5 weeks early! I'm only breast feeding him and my girlfriend who is a midwife said that most of the time breast fed babies gain a lot of weight early on. I just feel so blessed that he's doing great! The doctor kept saying "my he's so strong! He's so sturdy for only 4 months!" I was just as proud as a girl could be!

    Anyway, just bragging about my little man. Everything with me is good. We went to Montana for Christmas. It was COLD! We had a great time, though. My mom was all over Mack and the only time I got to hold him was to nurse him, I swear! It was kind of nice, though, because my husband and I got to go out and about each day without worrying about anything. We live in FL, so it's a long ways from Montana... it sure was great hanging out with family. Mack did awesome on the plane, too. He slept the entire time! I was worried about it, but he was just a champ.

    Happy 2009 everyone! It's going to be a great year!!!

    Katie-Hooray for fat babies!!! My DD will go in for her 6 month appt next week. I know she has gained a ton since her 4 month appt because we have gone from 0-3 month clothes to 6-9 month clothes in just 2 months!!!! I love chubby cheeked babies they are so dang cute. Glad that Mack did good on the plane and that you had a great time with your family. I love going to grandma's cuz I don't have to do anything...grandma takes care of the kids and grandpa supervises :smile:

    Going to watch BL!!! I'm an addict! Hooray for the new season!!

    I am not sure how old your children are, but you need a jogger stroller! when you get up in the morning before you do anything else, get dressed for a run/walk. THEN take care of the kids get the oldest off to school and HIT THE ROAD! you will be more energized for the rest of the day! I have 3 kids ages 4, 2 and 6 months and they won't let me sit for too long so, I have found that a morning workout routine is best to get me going!

    Here I am! Thanks Fitness Chick!

    Stay at home mom of 4, ages 8, 6, 4, and 2. Have lost 10 lbs after baby and need to lose 20 more. I love running and listening to my ipod! Maniac from Flashdance has become a good friend during rough parts of a run! I got a new treadmill from Santa and I love it! I can stay home and workout now instead of going to the gym. No makeup and no dragging kids with me! woo hoo!
