SAHM 2/21 to 2/27

Amy~you seriously crack me up! Love the comment....We must, we must, we must decrease our buns!?!?! For me I am mostly happy with my buns size but would LOVE to have a smaller bust size. At one point I was a DD now just a D looking to get to a B or C. :laugh: My friend does not eat anything cooked. She says that when she has slipped (going to family/friends) it has given her a big fat stomach ache so she stays away from it. She took baby steps to where she is at. Just loved the results that it gave so she went all in.

Aj~Love the new shoes. I am 5'3" and my shoe size is 7 to 7.5 depending on the shoe sometimes even 8. Isn't pregnancy just so much fun? Oh what it does to our bodies.

So proud of myself I got my work done in 1hr and 45 min tonight.

4loveofkids ............Might of been...It was a NFL and American Heart run, Washington Redskin cheerleaders were there, the band and even the head coaches wife, along with some other wives, which I'm not sure who they were....lol But it was awesome, everyone wore there favorite team shirt or jersey...It was so much fun!! Would love to meet there next year....

Aj..............LOVE the new kicks!!!

KatieM, good for you for getting your work done so fast!

Katie, Capital L's Unite! hahaha... my husband is 5'7". His feet aren't huge, but he's so short. And then I'm short. So... our kids are destined to be munchkins. :laugh: Poor kiddos. Good for you for finding a different race to do instead of just giving up on it altogether. That's good drive. And that bagel sounds yummo!

AJ - Girl, my feet grew after both kids, I started out an 8 1/2 sometimes 9. Now it's always a 9 1/2 or, I don't buy the shoe, LOL.

KatieM - DD, D, the good old days, I miss my perky little DD boobies. This is sooooo embarassing but my nursing bra w/ the little man is a 34 H, yep H as in HELP, I'm drowning in boobies. Worst part, I had to go in for an emergency C-section and hadn't bought my bra yet. My hubby and brother stopped to pick it up for me. Note to self: NEVER let two grown men with the combined maturity of a 13 yo boy p/u a nursing bra for you. Let's just say I was privy to many a joke. Man, your friend is killer, I just don't know if I could do it full time. I like me a little bacon every once in a while and I'm thinin that wouldn't go down too well raw. (Hey, why no barfing smiley??) I have heard of people that do eat raw meat, even chicken. Gag me with a spoon!!!!!

Cat - I'll have to ask her if that's the one she did. I know she did a big one in the fall in DC. I heart her, she is in amazing shape and takes such good care of herself.

Katie - OK, you can't go showing off your bod and talking about a 1/2 marathon and then tell me about your yummy bagel you're going to eat. I need to believe that you live on bird food and workout 20 hours a day. :brokenheart: I do think it's awesome that you are doing another race, way to keep movin forward. No mom jeans for you!!

Wildcatmom - Oh yes, stalk us while you're at work. It's nice to see so many moms coming together to better ourselves and support eachother. Hope your baby sleeps better tonight.

I think everyone is snoring so I better get to bed. Hoping I can do a longer w/o tomorrow, I've been slacking and sooo hungry. TOM ended yesterday so I don't have any excuses left. The only butterball I want to see is on Thanksgiving!!

Woo hoo, my lil guy finally crawled last night!!! Now, once he gets better, it'll be time to put on those running shoes and start the chase, lol.

Man, a lot of posting going on this week, I can't keep up, so sorry this is general again, but:

Welcome all newcomers! :flowerforyou:

Congrats on all who had weight losses!

Now, that I've been off the train, I can't seem to get back on, I did 30DS the one day, well 1/2 of it, since lil one was being cranky that day bc he wasn't feeling well....I just can't seem to get the motivation back on. Hm, do I need a different workout? I do like doing the 30DS......or should I try a different level? I had done 18 of 30 days on level one before I had to stop.

Sorry this is short, need to get cleaned up for the day, pack Jeremey's diaper bag, and then go pay a few bills, and then meet hubby for lunch at Flat Top Grill

Sounds like I need to get a digital scale. Maybe when I am a little more comfortable with what the difference could be. Haha.

Holly- Bummer about your sick little one. We have been battling illness all winter. I am so ready for spring but of course we have a winter weather advisory today! I hope your house gets better soon.

AJ- I feel you on the house. I have been gone all week during the day and will be gone again today volunteering at my older daughter's classroom. Those are cute shoes! I feel you on the huge feet, I'm 5'9 so I try to justify it and pregnancy growth.

Barb- Maybe try going up a level to see if you enjoy level 2 more. Maybe that will keep you motivated. I did 10 days on each level and had great results.

Welcome everyone new. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hello ladies!! Mind if I join in a bit late? Do you start a new thread each week or just change the dates on this one?

I'm Nicole and I have two kids-DD is almost 4 and DS just turned 2. I try to get them involved in the exercises by using the Wii Fit with them in the mornings. When the weather is above freezing we usually go outside and walk around our (very hilly) neighborhood. I either push both of them in the stroller (they weigh 81 pounds combined!) or I wear DS on my back and push DD. This week I've been trying to work out a bit more with the Wii after they go to bed too, like doing free run or free step for 20 minutes. I also play indoor volleyball on Tuesday nights for two hours. I've been following a vegan diet since the end of November and that's really what has helped me lose so much weight. I have pacreatic issues so I do need to limit my diet quite a bit, but I don't deny myself a few things-in moderation. I really do get sick if I eat too much sugar or fat so that's good motivation to eat well.

Morning Ladies
One more day until the weekend!! Sunday is going to be a girls day out for me, yippie!! I have to fit in a girls day of shopping/lunch/whatever before hubby leaves. Of course the baby will be with me but until they are mostly on solids they don't really count, haha! I have no time in my day to pump so I rarely even leave the house without him unless it's like a quick trip to the store & I know he's not going to want to nurse while I am gone. I really don't mind because they all seem to be growing so fast & that is one one thing that only mommy can still do so they stick with me. Speaking of baby he has his first cold, a bit of a cough & runny nose but luckily no fevers or anything worse. It made for a fussy day yesterday, he just wanted to be held so my workout was cut quiet short. I have been actually fighting a sore throat for a couple of days & last night the sinus stuff hit hard out of no where with a headache & pressure. Other than that I feel okay but it will probably make me less than motivated for my workout today. Only today & tomorrow & I will be done with the Slim in 6. I am excited to see if I can actually see any real results when I do my final pictures. It hasn't been the best 6 weeks cause I missed a week in there but we will see. I did go back down to my last check in weight after jumping up for a day or two for some reason, so I'm happy about that. Now if it just keeps going down that will make me even happier!

Barb~if you decided to stick with the 30DS I am thinking of starting it for the first time on Monday maybe we can keep each other motivated through it! I haven't looked at it yet really is it suppose to be 30 days straight or do you get a break day each week? Cause I think I need that one day each weekend to relax or just to run around & not have to worry about when I will get my workout in.

Well speaking of workout since they baby nursed & fell back to sleep, my oldest is out the door to school & the other two are just in veg mode watching Curious George maybe I will try to get that workout in now! Hope everyone has a nice day.

Wildcat ~ Don't let it scare you, it's so so fun! You're getting back on track and you will be back to running 4-5 miles again!

Amy ~ LOL! I work out way too hard to eat like a bird ;P

Ellen ~ Yes! On days I feel like that, I have an entire glass of water before everything I eat, and after. Helps keep the hunger away. Just try to eat healthy and you'll get through!

Barb ~ I think you are more than ready for level 2!

Swtchrypie ~ Good luck keeping the kids entertained today...I know how trying days like today are.

AJ ~ Swtchrypie was hard to type for me until I sounded it out...Sweet Cherry Pie LOL And now I hear Poison every time I type it Hope you had fun with your playdate!

Welcome Nicole! We start a new thread every week and we are just a laid back group that talks about everything. Congrats on your loss so far and becoming a vegan, I'm sure it was hard to do!

Holly ~ love the new pic! cute workout outfit!

Stacey ~ Hmmm...I might just be crazy and do Zumba tonight, even though I've already did strength training and turbokick. I'm going to eat healthy as I can tomorrow, Saturday I am going to eat well all day, then I am headed to a wine and cheese tasting party where I will be very very bad, but back in the saddle Sunday!

BTW, I am seeing an endocrinologist on the 19th and talk about possibly having mild hypothyroidism...I have symptoms that I didn't even know were symptoms other than not being able to drop weight even for as hard as I work and healthy as I eat...I should weigh 120! LOL Anyway, other symptoms are irregular periods (every 3 weeks, lasts 6-8 days), irritability, tired ( I get 8-10 hours of sleep a night and could still take naps)...so we'll see. I've had a nodule on my thyroid for at least 8 years, it has grown 1cm over the years (1.1cm-2.3cm) but it hasn't made my THS levels off at all. But there are other tests that have never been run on me that I'm hoping they will now!

Wow, this one is burning up today! Everyone is on. What a nice read. Today was my first day back at getting a "normal" workout in and it felt good. Everyone still has a chunky nose and the kids have a lingering cough, but we are all on the mend. It's snowing....again, so bonus workout for shoveling later. If it stops long enough for me to get out there.

aj: shoes look great, my feet always swell when I exercise So I wish you luck on the size.

4love: I'm with you, I'd actually like to keep my "heavy" sized buns, but thats the first thing to go one me:( No butt or hips.....kinda sad actually :laugh:

kata: you are my hero! Your back looks AMAZING!

ellen: me! me! I normally have those days after eating REALLY good for a couple, only I normally do eat everything that's not nailed down. I end up going over cals, but not crazy. I eat 1/2 portions or really low calorie snacks. I don't go by a box of ho ho's or anything. My main cheating is mini marshmellows. There so not the best thing in the world, but who can eat more than a cup of them 150cals.

blue: Yah for crawling babies!!

bina: Great weight loss!

PNC: welcome!! Pretty new here too. We do start a new thread on Mondays...nicolee516 does that (Thank you nicolee!) Normally late morning. She'll post the thread on this one.

holly: Great pic
