    Sorry ladies, I'm just here to vent.

    Things have been stressful (whose world isn't?) and I'm not sure if it's the new birth control pills or what, but I feel on the verge of tears constantly and "lonely" (while being surrounded by a houseful of people). Anyway, husband and I already got into something this morning while getting kids ready, finishing up work, and getting them off to school. So I sneaked an oatmeal cream pie (170 calories for like three bites). Didn't satisfy me so I grabbed two, no wait, THREE more packages and started heading down into my "dungeon" to work, telling myself that I don't care if I don't have self-control. Then I thought of all you wonderful gals and realized i DO care if I have self-control. I'm better than my stresses. So I went upstairs and threw them back in their box on top of the refrigerator and came down here to vent.

    The pain is still there in my side, still never got my period, and I'm emotional. The upside to the pills? Someone reinflated my deflated balloons. I wasn't even an A cup and the stretch marks and all literally made them look like were those sad balloons that the air leaked out of slowly and are all crumply (nice visual huh). Well, I went to put my bra on and actually filled out the cup (sad that I'm excited about being a full A). So someone finally filled my balloons back up.

    With that being said, that air must weigh like 4 lb or something according to the scale (or maybe it's the bad food choices I've made throughout the past week). So I think I'm going to forego the weigh-in this week and just focus on getting myself back together. I'll see what the scale says tonight. If it makes me cry, then it doesn't count, right?

    Anyway, sorry for not getting to personals. I'll work it in today or tomorrow morning.

    Have a great one ladies. Thanks for listening!

    Good morning gals!

    Emmie...You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Get back to us whenever you can!:heart::flowerforyou:

    Cathy, AmyLou, and Amy S...Congrats on the losses! Keep it up!

    Amy S...Way to go on the food choices!!! Doesn't it feel great to be successful!!!!!!

    Everyone else...HELLO!

    Well, yesterday I ended up going home early because Kadence was sick. Here's a bit of info if I haven't shared in the past: I breastfeed when at home and pump at work. And even though I usually pump about 10 ounces during the day, she still wants more and now we add some into her rice cereal, so we have been going through tons. We tried regular formula a while back and she couldn't keep it down so we though she had a lactose intolerance. So the doctor gave us lactose-free formula to try, but she couldn't keep that down either. So then we tried soy, which she didn't like at first, but was able to keep down. The past week and a half or so, my husband (who is home with her during the days right now) has been giving her about 2 ounces of soy formula mixed with 4-5 ounces of breastmilk and she's had no problems. She's even had a few full bottles of just soy formula when at my moms and my in-laws. But yesterday she threw up everything after her mid-morning feeding, just like she did with the regular and lactose-free formulas. SO...we took her to the doctor to see what was going on, maybe an ear infection or something, but all looked fine. So, could be a tummy bug or maybe she's developing an allergy to the soy. And if so, she can't have ANY formula! SO frustrating! Can anyone relate? I just can't believe she could be developing an allergy to the soy also...then we have NO backup if there's not enough breastmilk. I don't get it?!?! So, I'm also trying to up my milk production...drinking TONS of water and taking Fenugreek which is supposed to help. We will see. But she's doing fine now...we gave her pedialyte yesterday and she was nursing fine and acting normal again by evening. AND slept ALL night for the first time in weeks!!!! I'm hoping that starts back up again! Sorry to vent...just so frustrating!

    Well...gotta get started on some work! I'll check back later!

    Hello, I'm Alison and I joined MFP in September 2009 when one of my best friends was living with me for a month in a transitional time for him, and he was looking good! He had lost 70 lbs in about two years, and he really gave all of the credit to MFP. I had lost about 80 lbs previously, and put back 70 of them. I guess I found the 70 lbs my friend lost.

    I graduated from law school in May 2009, and the last two years of law school were super stressful and busy, and then when I finally thought I could be healthy again, I had to study for the bar exam, and put on the last 20 or so lbs of that gain. At my lowest, I was 174 and very healthy -- I ate a ton of fresh food and was working out in my apartment's workout room and going for 5-7 miles walk/jogs a few times a week. But then a bunch of stuff happened at once -- I started getting some attention about my body and it made me very uncomfortable (I've been in a serious relationship for over 5 years, so I'm really not looking for attention from anyone else), I got onto Law Review at my school and had to start waking up at 7am and going to bed at 1am and spent basically all of my time on school work (no time to cook or work out as much as I had been), and then I fractured my foot and had to put the brakes on the jogging. With all of that going on, I basically gave up. At that point, I was hovering around 185-190, and somehow seemingly overnight, I was done with the bar exam and weighed 245! I guess patching up my broken relationship with ole Krispy Kreme wasn't such a good idea after all. What I learned from all of this is that no matter how stressed out I am and no matter how slow the weight loss is at times, it's so much better than gaining another 20, or 50, or 70 lbs.

    Verda -- I didn't work out at home, but we were finally able to leave the house, so I got to walk around a few stores and being outside definitely made my winter blahs feel better. I am going to have to go back to doing the Walk Away the Pounds workouts though, because it really doesn't look like this snow is going to be off of the roads and sidewalks any time soon, and I don't need to break my neck just to get in a jog.

    Rhiannon -- Good to meet you! It's great that you're getting back on track, even with everything going on in your life. It sounds like your little girl is having a blast with all of those dance and singing and gymnastics classes. Adults would be so much healthier if we all wanted to take dance and gymnastics! Processed carbs get me off track too, and make me feel bloated. Funny that I still enjoy them, isn't it? When I'm being really good and want something sweet, I eat two Sunsweet Ones (yeah, they're prunes, but I call them dried plums to make myself feel better about being in love with prunes). If you haven't tried them, at least give them a try. They're like big juicy raisins. I love them, and I'm not even a big fan of raisins.

    Kristin -- I'm sorry your sweet girl can't just tell you what she'd like to be eating. I like that you want to teach fitness classes. Go for it! After college (before law school) I considered becoming a personal trainer so that I could really focus on health and fitness as a mandatory part of my life. I'm sure things would be much different now for me if I had done that. It probably would have been a really good decision.

    Em -- Congrats on the house and all! What are you in grad school for? I just got out of law school, so I know how that can make it hard to stay in shape. You're in the right place though!

    Amy (pdx) -- Ready to start work? I'm working more and more hours each week, and it's making me tired! I was almost starting to enjoy all of the freedom of unemployment, but the paycheck is nice too. :-)

    Amyls -- Great job staying on track in a social situation! That is my biggest challenge. I can go out and just drink diet coke, but if I have any alcohol or food, I'm out of control. Awesome will power!

    Emmie -- I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. Remember to take a little time for yourself if you can, even if it's just a few minutes to sit quietly and let your emotions settle down a little.

    Cathy and AmyLou -- Yay for the losses!

    Lula -- I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Great job limiting the oatmeal cream pies. Hopefully the effects of the pills will even out soon, but at least you got a free "inflation" out of them! :wink:

    Alright, I think that was my post for the day. Time to get to work!

  • I guess being able to post a small loss is better than heading in the other direction. I definitely fell off the wagon after last week's weigh-in and then struggled the second half of the week to get myself back on track. Sometimes, staying compliant is so much more of a frustrating struggle than I could ever imagine. Some people blame processed and fast food for overeating issues. I'd rather point fingers at my job, employer, life in general. If those were less stressful, staying away from extra snacks and overeating at meals would be that much easier.

    Good luck to everyone this coming week! Keep up the progress.

    Woohoo! The scale went down again since yesterday!

    Thanks for introducing yourselves, ladies!

    Kristin, you should also add Blessed Thistle to your fenugreek repertoire. It will definitely help milk supply :smile: There is also a goat milk-based formula that you can make with cooking barley, goat milk and some other ingredients. It has been used for babies as young as new born for literally hundreds of years. If you want, I can get the recipe from my aunt again who gave it to me when I had some early issues to resolve with Ava's breastfeeding. Let me know!!

    Alright, well I'm off to it! Excited because I got ahold of 2 BodyPump dvd's. There isn't a club here that offers them so I'm glad to be able to do them at home!

    TTYL!

    I gained this week, but it's TOM. I just need to drink more water and exercise. OK, and watch what I eat and how much I eat.

    Kristin - The fenugreek really works. I used it to help boost my milk production at the beginning with my son. I didn't need it for quite as long with my daughter. Between that and pumping, my body just started producing tons and I ended up with a few bottles that needed to be poured out because they sat in the refrigerator too long.

    Emmie - (((hugs))) I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather.

    Lula - (((hugs))) We're here for you whenever you feel the need to vent!

    Hey Sixers! I didn't realize it had been three days since I talked to you. I keep yall in my daily thoughts!!!

    Personals:

    Cathy!- That potato made me want one! Congrats on the loss! You are moving in the right direction!

    Kel- How was the tasting?

    amyls- Glad you and your husband are working together. YAY, Congrats on your Grandmas Bday Food. I wish my grandparents were alive. 70 yrs is such an accomplishment! P.S. You will lose more next week since TOM will be gone!

    Verda- Good idea with the create your own home workout! Tiff does that too. I've tried it a few times and it doesn't even feel like a workout, just like fun!!!

    Kristin- Great job!! You are giving me hope that BABY WEIGHT doesn't have to linger around! Congrats!!!! Proud of you!!!

    Rhiannon- I didn't want to seem selfish BUT IM SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK. We missed you!!!! YAY!!! Don't worry about the bread, I know you can gain the control again. Its so weird how when we allow ourselves slack room it MAKES us believe we can't go back to smaller servings. But we both know how to. I had that problem after Christmas bc I had too many goodies in 2009. LOL

    Emmie- Sorry to hear about your grandfather. You and your family will be in my prayers. I know you are a strong woman. :) We are here for you!

    Amy lou- Good job ... wow losing in the mist of studying! Great!!!

    Lulabelle- Good job on remembering the sixers and avoiding the Oatmeal pies. LISTEN- we ALL have those days, just take it one situation at a time. The people closest to us can make us sooooo upset or off key that we result to OLD habits, BUT you can do this. One meal at a time, and mistakes are okay as long as you learn from them! Hope youre having a better day now!

    Primal B- take it one day at a time!!!

    Nicolee- Glad you are still down a lb

    Em- being down 2.4 is still a great accomplishment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    About me: I'm (Tammara) a recently graduated dentist who found myself in a bodysuit I wasn't ready to see. After working hard to finish my last year of school, I thought I could avoid going to the gym classes and work on school and still maintain my weight. No, that didn't happen. I went from 200 to 248 in a years time. After graduation, I didn't feel accomplished I felt ashamed of my body and how I let myself go for a dream!!! So I took time off before I started working, to rest and regather myself. I removed 50 lbs since 2008. I have a long way to go until my ultimate goal of 140 BUT I'm working hard everyday to see the end of the tunnel. I won't stop until I reach my goal!!!

    About my sis: Tiffani!!!- She is currently in her 3rd year of Med school and constantly busy. However she has always been a fitness role model to me. Standing at barely 5 ft... She will laugh at this! At 13 she bought her first set of taebo tapes and she has kept her weight under control. I appreciated how she cared about her appearance and never settled for being out of shape, just because our family members are prone to it ... so to say! She has run marathons and is the wellness person for her M3 class. I'm proud of her. Though she is struggling to remove some pounds, I'm sure she will make it! Go TIFF!!!!

    Down another pound! Yahoo! But until I am down to 195 I am not going to be too excited. I have lost and gained the 195 to 200 over and over and over. Its a broken record. I WILL get over that hump!

    Also...anyone know how much Fenugreek I should take? Doesn't say on the bottle and I've been trying to get hold of a lactation consultant at my hospital and they've been busy. So...any idea?

    Kristin, I remember taking 2 pills, but I can't remember if that was 1 in the am & 1 in the pm or if that was 2 each time. My daughter is turning 6 a week from today, so my memory is a little fuzzy on the details.

    I do remember that at the time I was taking them with my son, I couldn't swallow pills, so I was given the advice from the lactation consultants to open the capsules & put them in pumpkin mix (since pumpkin is so good for you even w/ the extra sugar in the mix). One day dh was warming a bottle, tested the temp on his wrist & licked it off without thinking. I asked him how it tasted after he got this odd look on his face, and the told me it tastes like pumpkin! :laugh: You know, to this day my son still absolutely LOVES anything made from pumpkin!

    Starting Weight - Dec 1 was 215
    Current Weight - 203 lbs

    I believe that i am up from last week weigh in. Not enough exercise last week, not enough water, no idea on my calories. hubby was sick and i was taking care of him 24/7 for days. I do literally mean 24/7. he had to be given a pill every hour on the hour - alternating ones. very confusing. he had very severe virtigio and it is still not gone but does not require constant watching.

    Bought the EA Active game for Wii. Absolutely love it. i am so sore from the work outs but i can definitely feel a difference. I enjoy that it is constant moving from one exercise to another. I also love that it gives you calories burned. lots of different exercised daily. AI have only done medium and low intensity so far.

    Monday -
    Walk away the pounds dvd - 2 miles
    EA Active medium intensity - 1 hour
    Ea active low intensity - 30 minutes

    completed water.
    Over calories

    Tuesday
    Walk away the pounds dvd - 1 mile
    Ea Active medium intenstiy - 1 hour

    Working on water - 3 done already
    watching calories today
