    Abetterme-did you try those pancakes? I made them for my parents this weekend and my dad loved them...I thought of you while making them, wondered what you and your family thought.

    Morning ladies!
    I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. Boy, life just comes at us so hard sometimes doesnt it?:grumble:
    Im in a bit of a "funk" today. I did my weigh in yesterday and after totally following my exercise routine ALL week and eating within my calories every day, drinking my water, just plain ole being good, I gained a sixth of a pound!:grumble: I know it isnt alot, and Im not really freaking out about it (ok maybe a little I am:blushing: ) but I just felt so ripped off! And I cant even blame it on hormones for TOM coming because it isnt yet:ohwell: I just dont understand these bodies of ours sometimes:frown: Ok, rant over:happy:
    Hope the rest of the week is good to everyone:flowerforyou:

    Hi Moms !!

    I miss a day of checking in here and there is soooo much to read!!
    Today I get to pick up my treadmill and I cannot wait!! Monday and tuesday I did workouts with Gilad on fittv and man yesterday my booty and legs hurt!! Its funny my baby Maeve she will be two in May now says "Booty" It is sooo cute. I sure hope the economy picks up and they let my hubby go back to working what he was working cause right now he is only working 40 instead of 57 and man those 17 hours of overtime pay are so missed. Then I am waiting on paper from the college so I can file taxes cause my tv is about to die.

    Is there anyone here who wants to like challange each other? Get some motavation going cause I seem to have no motivation...... But good news all the birthday cake is gone!!! YAY !!! No more temptation.

    Are the anyone from Michigan here? I love MI I grew up my whole life here! I love winter but dang this winter is freezing... I am ready for spring so I can get my pond going again and work in my yard!!

    Blah Blah Blah I guess since I am not saying much of anything I will check back in later!!

    Good Morning All:drinker: :flowerforyou:

    I have a busy day again today so won't be on again until later. I am really dragging this morning but if I don't get my butt moving I am going to be running late all day. I am taking my mother in law to a routine check to the Oncologist for Chronic Lymphacetic Lukemia and the doctor is a little over an hour away so I will be gone most of the day for that. I need to go get the van cleaned out before I leave to pick her up and I also need to get a workout in and I need to be out of here in 1 hour and 45 minutes :ohwell: Hubby has to do parent teacher conferences this afternoon without me so I pray he survives that. He always goes with me in the past but has never had to do those by himself, and he will have all 6 kids, thankfully they have a daycare system set up in the gym with middle school and high school kids so you can drop little ones off and not have to worry about them during your talk with teachers. Ok I hate to but I must get going.

    HUGS to all and I hope everyone that is sick gets to feeling better soon:flowerforyou:

    Wow where is everyone this morning?? I thought I was late checking in. Not much to do today. Eat, workout, file taxes, maybe clean house. I thought I would be really sore from working out so much yesterday but I feel great. I should do a little "last chance workout" today before I weigh in tomorrow but I probably wont since I pushed so hard yesterday. I plan on drinking a lot of water today. Last weekends weight is still clinging so I doubt I will have a loss this week..but that's okay I'm only 2 lbs from my month end goal so I'm staying positive, cuz I'm pretty sure I can get 2 lbs to come off in 8 days :happy:

    Hope everyone has a great day.

    Dana sorry you aren't feeling well
    Roni wishing you a big weight loss next week
    Supermom hope you have a good day
    Abetterme drive carefully!
    Crystal-Hello, these women are crazy. I find I have to check in at least twice a day or I fall WAY behind.

    I dont know what it is about today, but I'm in such a good mood! Maybe cuz I'm staying within my cals or that I had to go buy new clothes for work cuz Im skinnier! or because I'm going to see Kate Gosselin tonight at a "Girls Night Out" thing with Proverbs 31 Ministries here in Houston! IAnd my hubby n me have talked like 3 times today!!! They were released early to pack their gear because theyre heading to Fort McCall tomorrow. I hope everyones day is going as well as mine!!

    great job on the push ups! thats the only part of level 1 that I still cant do. I do 16 pushups and then I'm done. I dont do the second set!

    Welcome Jessica!
    Mrsbuzz glad you are feeling better
    Supermom glad you are having a good day
    Dana sorry you didn't get your nap in, but that's great that your friends can depend on you in times of need.

    Well I think DD is cutting her 2nd tooth cuz boy is she cranky today. She did take a good long nap this morning and I'm hoping she'll take another one this afternoon. I got my workout in and just ate some lunch. Have any of you tried Bordens Fat Free Cheese Singles? I don't like them at all, yuck yuck yuck!! I need to find another alternative for lower calorie cheese.
    I signed up for the Pound for Pound Challenge that they talk about on Biggest Loser. I pledged to lose 25 lbs (dec 15-may 5). Its totally reasonable.
    Where is Sara, Marla, Lori, and.... I kno I'm missing a bunch of other regulars???

    thanks! i signed up for the pound for pound challenge, too. i pledged 20 pounds by may. i think that's do-able. i miss those days when ds would take 2 naps:smile: he's 21/2 now and it's a major struggle to get him to take one! i think he just fell asleep after goofing around in his room for like an hour and a half..ugh.

    Hi everyone I am new here I have 3 children 1boy age 7 and 2 little princesses aged 3 and 2. I love being a stay at home mum its the best job in the world well worth the sacrifices that I have made now it is my turn to lose the weight and feel great 28 lbs to lose. Waiting for 30 day shred to arrive but the main part of my workout is on the crosstrainer and walking need to sort out diet and that a bit. Having a tough week though this week my 2 year old has cracked her shin bone and is now in a full leg cast (its purple and sparkly) will find out tom how long it needs to be on for. She isnt sleeping well and I have moved her to my bed so I can look after her (hubby is in the spare bed) may have to see if the docs can give her some better pain relief to get her through the night because she is tired and I have only had about 4 hours sleep in the last 2 days so really couldnt work out and today I just feel whacked and my throat is hurting I sure is lack of sleep hopefully she will sleep better soon. I need to sort my routine out getting the balance right is sometimes hard and it seems like theres allways something that doesnt get enough attention whether its the kids or the housework or the dogs it would be nice to get a routine going so that every box is ticked evenly at the end of the day.

    Nice to meet you all I have loved reading all the posts on here seems like a great support site nice to know that there are many people out there with similar issues etc.

    I'm sorry I've been MIA. Every time I get on here, by the time I log my food, log my exercise, check in with my black team, ramble something off to my TJ'ers group (aka - Lyn :laugh: )& start reading on here...someone needs something & I don't have time to reply! :grumble:

    Welcome to the group, Tazzy (and everyone else!)! I hope you have great success with this site! I hope you got some better sleep last night, too! Sleep deprivation makes everything worse than it has to be, kwim?

    Supermom - I'm glad things are looking up for you, dear. *hugs*

    Audry - My neighbor's all think I'm nuts, too. We have a privacy fence, but the screaming that comes out of our back yard when the kids are out playing is enough to make anyone nuts. LOL Glad you got to get out & enjoy the weather! Can I say that I'm jealous? Okay...I'm jealous! My kids can't play outside right now b/c the snow is so deep that their little legs can't walk through it!

    Beth - My 3 1/2yo still takes 1 nap/day, but my 2yo is starting to fight the 1 nap. I don't like it.:grumble: My 9month old has decided that she will also only take one nap per day...sometimes...sometimes she fights it & ends up not sleeping all day long. Insanity. I hope your 2 1/2 year old holds off a little while longer before he kicks the nap!

    Lyn - Kraft makes a 2% single that is pretty good. I'm not one for low fat cheese (except cottage cheese & cream cheese)...I like the fat filled calorie laden goodness. LOL I hope Adi isn't so cranky today. Tabitha's cutting somewhere between 2 & 4 teeth right now (she has NONE at the moment) and has been HORRIBLE...well...on top of the ear infection she still has. Poor babies. :frown: Is that pound for pound challenge weight that you can lose NOW or can you pledge the pounds that are already gone? Do you have a link?

    Dana - I hope your friend is feeling better! When do you find out for sure about the cervical cancer? *hugs* I will pray that your finances & insurance will work themselves out so you have less to worry about. Good luck, my dear! :flowerforyou:
