XTina - CONGRATS! That's totally awesome! :drinker: :flowerforyou: (Except that I think I've found it - but oh well!) :grumble:

Jackeh - I tottally agree with Becky! :laugh:



Quick update: My SIL gave birth at 3:09 PM yesterday to baby Amanda Elyse. :drinker: She's 3 lbs 7 oz and 17 1/4 inches long at only 30 weeks! She's very stable and only on 20% oxygen. She's DEFINITELY a fighter and SO beautiful! I'm such a proud first time Aunt! Thank you all SOOOOO much for your continued support and prayers.:smooched: :blushing: :smooched: It'll be a tough road at the beginning but I know both mom and baby will be just fine! :bigsmile:


As for me...stepped on the scale this morning just to SEE where I was - unfortunately, I've apparently GAINED 4.2lbs this week. :sad: I'm sure most of it is water weight from going WAY over on my sodium yesterday, but it still really sucks to see that number. Well - here's to hoping that doubling my water and some good cardio the next few days can help reverse it.

Wishing everyone a WONDERFUL Friday. :flowerforyou: SOOOOO GLAD THE WEEKEND IS HERE!!

Congrats on the weight milestone! That is AWESOME!!

I'm starting a new cardio workout today, so I'm really hoping it goes well!

Have a great Friday everyone!!

Congratulatulations xtina. WTG!!!!!!!!!!! I know the feeling after stepping on he scale this morning, I had a 1.5 pound loss - maybe there is something to drinking the water. lol I have also put in 3.08 miles on he treadmill. Good luck to everyone today - hope you all have a wonderful and successful day.

Congrats to your SIL!! I'm sure little Amanda will do amazing! 3lbs7oz is an awesome weight for that gestation too! Preemies are little fighters, I know because I have 2!

nancyl3

thats great good for you. I can't wait to get to that point.

xtina11179

Yes jackeh, I will definitely have to agree that running after 7 kids is a workout in itself!!

Opera, that is WONDERFUL to hear about your SIL and Niece. Congratulations on being a first timer! I have yet have nieces or nephews. My older brother who is 34 just isn't interested, and my sister is only 19 and my younger brother is 14 so I guess there's no chance in that anytime soon! My sister is a very responsible girl so I imagine she will the type to wait until she's married, like a good girl...tee hee!

Everyone is doing so GREAT!! I think this will be the best challenge yet!!

jackeh

yes opera 3 pounds 7 oz is a great size for a preemie!!!! im sure she will do wonderfully

megancolleen

So far.. nothing.. but we did just start!! I ran this morning and 30 day shred tonight!

keep up the good work everyone!

Good Morning All!

Xtina-woohoo - I am doing a happy dance for you!

Jackeh-you are a saint - 7 kids - that makes me sweat just thinking about it

Opera-congrats on your precious neice!

I did level 2 and 3 of BL Sculpt and level 1 BL cardio yesterday -sothat was my day 1 of 17 for exercise. Not doing good with water, staying within my calories.

Happy Friday!!

plussizemommy

Doing okay here! I don't weigh-in until Monday so I'll know if I've lost or not then! Doing good with calories and water intake, but need to do better with exercising. I'm going golfing with my hubby on Saturday though so that should be fun!!

Opera- congrats on the new addition!! That is a great weight and only on 20% oxygen!! That is awesome!!

WTG everyone!!!

shannahrose

Opera congratulations on being an auntie! i bet she's beautiful

Last night I had a great pilates class, and stayed w/in calories- so that was good! I'm on about week 2 of being serious about drinking water- i think it's finally helping. it might be just what i need to break through that plateau!!

I'm not sure if i'll get the chance to exercise today or not- better eat carefully just to make sure i don't go overboard!!

HAPPY FRIDAY! :drinker:

Just wanted to post as well that I have seen my very first benefit since I joined MFP a few weeks ago!! I was shocked when I saw the scale this morning! Hopefully it wasn't a fluke...

I had a great day yesterday, felt like I ate alot but it was all healthy and still came in under my calories. I ran farther that I've run before (not a lot but I'm beginning) and I just felt GOOD about myself for the first time in a while.

I've still got a ways to go before my wedding in July but I am so on track for losing 5 pounds before Easter!!! Which is good because just after Easter I'm getting my wedding dress altered.

Thank yall for the support and motivation! I wouldn't be able to do this if it were all just counting calories and logging exercise. Reading everyone's posts everyday really keep me motivated.

What a happy day!:happy:

I did SUPER well with my exercise yesterday...but didn't make the greatest food choices. I know it was dumb. Today is a new day, I am going to make the food choices and get a good work out in today and this weekend. Have a wonderful Friday everyone!

Aeilm

Opera - CONGRATS on the new little bundle of pink!!! She is doing awesome for 30 weeks!!! I bet she will amaze everyone.

CONGRATS to everyone on doing so well! Keep up the good work ladies.

I will be getting weighed wednesday at the Dr., so I weighed myself this past wednesday and the scale said 195. I weighed myself this morning b/c Friday is my usual weigh in day and the scale said 190! Maybe I was holding a lot of water weight. Last friday I was 193, so should I use that as my starting weight for this challenge? I am not weighing in again until wednesday, then I will resume my fridays.

Congrats to everyone on their weigh tloss. I don't weigh in until Monday, so we will find out then if I went up or down. I am getting ready to drive 7 hrs to NY, which means no gym today, but tomorrow we are moving my parents into their new home, so I think I will get a big enough workout tomorrow lifting dressers, beds, boxes etc, to cover for today. Happy Friday everyone

Congrats Opera on being a first time aunt. I ma glad to hear that the delivery went well and baby and mom are doing well.

Congrats to everyone on your losses. I am actually up 4 lbs. I know that I have consumed to much salt and haven't gotten my water in the last 3-4 days. So I am pushing really hard to get a few extra cups in today. And hopefully show another loss.

Tahmed, where in NY? I live in Upstate, NY - about 20 minutes North of Albany, or 20 minutes South of Saratoga....however you want to look at it. I will have to say that moving furniture will be a great workout for you.

I usually take Fridays off but since our hometown heroes the Siena Saints are going to be in Ohio tonight playing Ohio State in the NCAA Tourney we are going out with some friends. I am thinking I might want to do a little power-walk on my lunch just to burn a few extra calories before hand. I will try my best to make good choices (although I'm sure there will be a few cocktails involved, but shhhhhh.....) and get my heiny up bright and early to hit the gym again.

Binghamton. I actually lived there until I was 8, then moved to MN, and I now live in Ohio. My parents just moved back to NY once they retired. Should be a good game tonight hunh?

Good morning all

There a lot of congrats to hand out this morning:happy: :happy: I'm am happy and pround of everyone's accomplishments.

I forgot who said it but for the person who is struggling with water, try the trick of treating yourself like a child and saying you can't have anything or do anything until you drink at least 2 cups of water it kind helps. or how ever many you need.

I have not exercised beyond dance practice My work schedule and ruined me this week. Water is good, and food but I have dance practice tonight which is 3 hours of sweating and I will get back on my regimen of exercising daily Sat when I walk my 2.5 miles.

Keep up the good work everyone

I had a great day yesterday... walked 1.5 miles and ran only 1/2 because of my achilles tendon. Made great food choices and drank my water!!!

Today another great day minus any workout because I worked 12 hours and we are leaving to go to our friends house, although we might play some WII so that will be activity, plus I ran all day at work!
