Dawn - thanks. Most people wouldn't have ever even known - I was only 3 weeks and hadn't even missed yet. I'm just very attuned, I guess. At this point, I just want to get on with my weight loss/health goals and get myself super healthy so that if we decided to actually TRY for one, particularly at my age (over 35), I'll have a healthier 9 months & easier recovery (C-sect) after wards.
My pills basically did what they were supposed to - made me an unviable host so to speak. Unfortunately, I just happened to know what was going on in there prior to that so the loss was probably more eventful than it should have been (emotionally). But I'm over it now.
Funny thing - been saying for more than 7 years "no more, no way, no how". Oh the irony.0 -
Day late on the info, sorry!!

Topic: lose 10-20 pounds by thanksgiving support group Wed 08/25/10 11:36 AM I'm 2 days new to this website and loving it! Since my father passed away 9 months ago I've given up on dieting and quit exercising. I look for comfort foods to make it better, I miss him daily I need to get motivated and live life for him!

Hi everyone (hi Dawn and Stormy!) :flowerforyou: I'm a little late, but I'd like to join the challenge!
I'm Mande -- newly a stay-at-home wife (not newly a wife, just new to the at-home part) and wanna-be novelist. My husband just finished law school this past spring and took the bar exam in July. He recently returned to work, and so life has finally returned to normal.
I don't have any children yet, but I'm hoping to start trying within the next year as I get healthier and drop some more of the excess weight.
I got off track this summer and gained back 5 of the nearly 40 lbs I'd lost earlier this year. Now that fall is nearly here, and I am finally back on a regular schedule, I am ready to get back in the saddle! I've recently switched to a vegan diet, focusing mainly on veggies, minimally processed grains, fruits, nuts and beans, and I need to commit to 30-60 minutes of exercise daily.
For this challenge, I'm looking to lose 1 lb per week (obviously, more than that is great -- but I don't want to set my sights too high).
See you all on Wednesday!

A little bit of fluctuation this week but I guess I expected it. Hopefully that means next week I'll see some actual progress. Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress! Keep up the hard work!!!0 -

No loss, but I worked out out so hard last week that it's bound to pay off soon!0 -
Okay I'm back from my cruise. It was a lot of fun but I didnt care one bit about what I ate the week before I left or the week of the cruise and when I weighed in on Monday after I got home I was at 156.4! Yikes! I'm down today. I just started that EatStopEat thing where you fast for 24 hours twice a week. I actually really think its cool. Anyway, now that vacation is over I'm ready to focus.

i fall into the not-so-great category. my husband's grandpa died of acute leukemia so we are attending another funeral. this is my third funeral in the last four months and i am at the end of my rope. my dad died in late may from cancer, my grandma (dad's mom) died in august and now this. the other two times, i stress-starved and then binged. i am trying really hard this time to not do that so i am forcing myself to eat. however, i am making poor, poor food choices and just feel like crap.
i did the weekend challenge and donated money to 'memory walk' this weekend to support alzheimer's research. did anyone else find a cause they wanted to give to?
i am glad we can all be here to support each other. have a great week everyone.0 -
Sorry to hear about your husband's grandpa (and all of the other stuff you've had to go through recently)...
