    Ok I've got one..........You know your a huge fan of Twilight if you consider naming your son Cullen.:happy: A friend of mine is really considering it and I have to say that I just love it. If I was to have any more babies that would definitely have to be a name to think about!!!!!!:laugh:

    acureese that is a good goal for the premiere! I just wish I could just get rid of that left over flab from two babies and two c-sections!:laugh: It doesn't seem to go away no matter how much I weigh. Might have to consider a tummy tuck at some point. :sad:

    Hey Kid! Welcome back!

    I bought Power 90 and it just got delivered today! I did my first workout. Hold off on the tummy tuck and I'll let you know how this Ab Ripper works! I've got major mushabelly goin on over here. I'm going to fight my *kitten* off to avoid surgery, but I've considered it too. I'm applying for jobs at all the plastic surgeons and medisapas around here to get me a discount if necessary:wink:

    BTW, I'm not counting it, but I seem to be down 5 more pounds. Hmmm. Maybe yesterday I didn't lose cuz it was the end of TOM??? Its prolly all water, I'll take an official weight next Monday.

    Happy Tuesday Twi-hards!

    Haha that's an awesome one for the list usmc! :laugh: I think Cullen's actually a great name, even if I wasn't a fan of twilight I'd consider it, too :smile: And if anyone teases them, they can say hey, it's waaay better than, oh I don't know, Nicholas Cage naming his son after superman? :tongue:
    Btw, is what you're trying to work on in the ab area weight or skin from the births and c-sections? 'Cause I agree on holding off on the surgery (Wannabeacullen let us know how the Power 90 is! :smile: ), if it's weight it just takes some hard work and time...at first I thought oh man losing weight takes forever, but with the fun I'm having talking to people on here and logging stuff in time seems to fly by! :happy: I always have worked out a lot, too and was getting a little frustrated, but now realize I was underestimating the amount I'd been consuming, journaling has really helped with that... I'm excited, I have some small signs of a two or four pack emerging, whoohoo! (haha, obviously it' s not emerging that much yet if I can't tell if it's two or four! :wink: I'm gonna be optimistic and lean towards four!)
    Kid I hear NC is gorgeous, I hope your move went well! :happy:

    I'd love to join this challenge! I know I'm coming in late, but there's still plenty of time right! I'd love to be 40 pounds lighter by then, but that may be a lofty goal, I'd settle for 35!

    My biggest issue is that I hate to exercise! Plus, I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old and I work, and I just feel pulled in so many directions, I'm usually too tired to invest any time in me!

    But, I love Twilight, and I'm on Team Edward all the way! And I can't wait for Eclipse!

    Welcome to the group rkascak and KatiePeca!:flowerforyou:

    As for the ab tummy problem it's more of skin then fat. I have to wait a while to get anything done any way so don't worry about the holding off. Once I get the rest of this weight off then I will be considering it.

    Yay! More people!!! Welcome rkascak and KatiePeca!

    I've decided to count my loss. Its stayed steady since yesterday morning, so its going in the record. Except its 3 .5 pounds not 5. Whatever, I'll take it!

    I finished day 2 of Power 90 this morning and I'm exhausted! But still loving it. I can totally see why it works.

    Wannabecullen, 3.5 is AWESOME, great job! :glasses: Don't worry that's it not 5, it's still 3.5, and there are so many factors that can affect weight loss, like sleep, stress, etc...as long as you're getting healthy and fit and feeling great, that's all that matters! :happy:
    Usmc, that sounds like a good idea :smile: Yayyy Team Twilight! ...wait I probably should call it Team Eclipse right?:smile:
    Welcome to the group rkascak and KatiePeca! :flowerforyou: I'm new too and so far I'm loving this group!:happy:

    Great Job wannabecullen 3.5lbs is great!!!! Sometimes it gets so frusterating when your only losing really small amounts but when it's a number like that, 3.5lbs it really makes the whole losing weight worth all the effort.:bigsmile:

    I'd like to join the challenge too. As for me, I know how the story goes (and who gets the girl in the end). But, I have to say that I find Jacob to be a much more relatable character. So I guess I'm on Team Jacob.

    My biggest problem with weight is motivation. I will do really well for a while, then my bf will order pizza and I'll eat half of that sucker. I don't think he's deliberately trying to sabotage my efforts. He's never had weight issues, so he doesn't know the emotional wreck I become when trying to struggle to make the healthy decision when temptation is (literally) right under my nose. Then I get in the mind set of "oh, well, I've already blown it, I might as well blow it big." Then I feel guilty and hide behind snacks and stop working out. Talk about all-or-nothing thinking! I'm the expert on it. Anyway, I'd really like to be able to go through this with other people who understand my struggles. I've lost weight before, and found that I was most successful with losing and maintaining that loss, when I had someone there to support me.

    Welcome to the challenge penash.:flowerforyou: Always great to see new people. I have been thinking about it and I don't think when I joined this challenge I made my claim to what team I was on. Now seeing all you Team Jacob fans I just have to throw it out there, so I am TEAM...................EDWARD ALL THE WAY!!!!!!:laugh::laugh: Sorry ladies I know Jacob's body is very nice to look at but I kind of have a Vampire fetish.:laugh: LOL I am a True Blood Fan as well!:bigsmile: Gotta love those Vampires.
