Thanks girls ! I feel like i am in a better place today.
This week has been horrible at work , i had a failed release on tuesday and now we are re-trying tomorrow and i am praying it goes good, i got a deadline on friday
Then my crazy *kitten* SIL is at again, she is soo mental i swear she is just ranting how we see my family and we are shunned from the rest of the family as we don't care about anybody and we love my family more than DH. She is crazy, my MIL was the same way before her brain injury accident. They are exactly the same. I am trying to re-atteriate to myself that my life has no room for her craziness, that my family, DH and my girls , are my family , they are my world. My mom and sister are always super supportive of everything in my life0 -
Nancy: So glad you had time to stop by! Hopefully you're here more often now. Hope all goes well with your dad's move back to his apartment.
I haven't seen any updates from Julie in the past few days, so I'm wondering if the little one has made an appearance yet....so suspenseful!
Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Over
Water: 10 glasses
Exercise: 3 hours walking at volunteering
Proud: I ordered a small blizzard at Dairy Queen. I swear, this time, the ice cream was the bf's request. He rarely eats ice cream, so I couldn't refuse to get him any on my way home....I also couldn't resist. BUT, I did get a backrub out of it, so it was worth the extra calories!

Hey everyone!
Blue and deb - it's great to see you both back here.
Heather - did you get the mini blizzard? I totally admit to indulging in those occasionally (at least, before our froyo bar opened).
Julie - CHECK IN! I've been thinking about you lately.
I've been in a bit of a funk the last few days. Busy with work, so minimal time to get online during the day, and just not feeling it at night. I've lost the 2 pounds I gained last week, but it looks like I won't be losing much more this week and I doubt I'll hit onederland by the end of July.
Decided to get myself a 90 minute hot rock massage tomorrow after work as a treat for me that doesn't involve weight, shopping, food, etc. Training is going well, we did some cool things yesterday that would have scared me a year ago.
Check ins for the last week or so - under all days, watching sodium, good with water, exercising most days. Just feeling PMSy. I feel more PMSy now than I did before I went on the Pill, which is irritating.0 -
Allison: I got the small, but I plan on getting the mini blizzard going forward. It just doesn't look like enough ice cream!
So, ladies, I'm sitting here at my desk smiling while I smell the super fragrant flowers my boyfriend sent to me at work today - just because he's awesome like that. Have I mentioned I love this guy? I'm so lucky.

Welcome back Nancy! Hope things are going well with your dad!
Can't wait to hear updates from Julie - anyone FB friends with her?
Heather - hooray for lovely flowers!
Allison - I feel you on the funk, well done on the non-food related happy. LOVE massages!
Deb - glad today is better!
Yesterday's check-in:
Cals - Over by 300....darn you klondike bar! :laugh:
Water - Not enough! 48 oz
Exercise - Mile walk
Proud - Kept my snacking down during the day, so that's a plus.0 -
I'm here on the baby watch ... I hope we hear news from Julie soon!
checking in for yesterday:
calories: went way over at dinner ... that has been a hard time of day for me all week
exercise: good - an hour of step
water: not sure0 -
Heather-Your flowers were beautiful!!
Nancy-So glad to see you back!! Hope your father is doing well!!
Allison-The hot rock massage sounds like absoulte HEAVEN!!
I'm friends with Julie on facebook. Looks like the doctors are giving her the option to induce and she doesn't know if she wants to or not prior to her due date. If I hear anything else I will let y'all know!
I'm starting attempt #2 of Insanity today...yes..a week before my trip!! My bf and I are going to do it together. Not the actual workouts but workout seperate but the schedule together. If that makes sense! I'm sure the scale will be up weight wise for a bit but it'll be worth it. I saw major results pretty quick last night. Maybe I'll still have a chance at winning my biggest loser competition after all!0 -
You know what they say -- no news is.... no news.
Doc offered me an elective induction again (breaking my water; they don't think I'll need chemical induction after that but it's a possibility). I've struggled with making a decision about it all day. Every single logical argument I can come up with is in favor of induction yet I can't get myself to commit to it so I haven't called the doctor to schedule one.0 -
Julie! I was just thinking about you and the baby
Sending good thoughts your way! She's probably just comfy (or waiting to make a grand entrance!)
Today I have managed to log every piece of food. I didn't do too badly (I broke down and had a cupcake)... only 200 calories over right now! And that's including dinner!
Given the recent stresses and er... challenges I've been dealing with, I will consider this a victory and continue to put on foot in front of the other!0 -
Julie - you would think if you already were starting to dialte (whic i believe you were) and they broke your water that "should" onset labor fairly soon?? But what do i know I was induced with serena ,actually started 8 yrs ago today I had to go in the night before for them to put this thing on my cervix and then the next morning they started inducing me but nada for like 6 or hrs so they broke my water and still nothing, my very stubborn girl just didn't want to come out...but she was real high too , but when the doc pulled her out she said if we waited till she was ready she would of been huge, as she was already almost 9 lbs .
But then my sister was induced and had my nephew like 2 hrs later.
Hopefully she will just come and you won't have to make a decision 0 -
I'll start us out this morning.
Allison...............-1.6...............weight previously lost
I'm down most of my 2 pound gain from last week, which is good, I suppose. I've met every other goal I've set for myself this month, so I need to focus on that.
Yoga on Tuesdays: check
Pushing myself in my runs: check
No night snacking: check
Tonight is hot rock massage night! This is going to relax me in preparation for hitting Nordstrom's sale tomorrow. I need fall/winter clothes because I don't have ANYTHING.0 -
Allison...............-1.6...............weight previously lost
Lauren..............-1.5...............weight previously lost
Good to know I lost that gain from last week (though I have NO idea how!).
Yesterday's check-in:
Cals - Over by 350 (and that was WITH Chipotle for dinner!)
Water - 88 oz (so close to 96!)
Exercise - Usual mile walk
Proud - Eh....got a bowl instead of a burrito to save those extra cals???
July 22 goals
Weight - Clearly still 6 lbs away from 165...oh well. I've been in a bit of a funk lately, so onward.
Exercise - AWFUL this week - nothing. See the funk above.
Water - 3/7 for 96 oz days0 -
Allison...............-1.6...............weight previously lost
Lauren..............-1.5...............weight previously lost
Meokk..............+12.8..............:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Hi ladies - just swinging by to see how you are all doing. I see the group is pretty slow moving these days - where is everyone!!!!!
I've got my work cut out for me replying to the pregnancy ladies - that board is nuts !!!! They often get through about 4 pages per DAY.
So I know all about Julie but I'm totally behind on you guys - any big news?? everyone doing well??
I'll be 26 weeks along tomorrow and all is well with the pregnancy - baby girl kicks me like crazy, my weight gain has been moderate - I'm trying for 20 lbs overall but will be happy if I can keep it under 25 to be honest. Hubby has been amazing throughout, and I can't ask for much more than that really.
So - how about a challenge ?!?!?
How about all of you pledge to lose the same amount that I will be gaining between now and Oct 22nd (ish). That should be somewhere between 8 and 13 lbs which makes it only 0.5 - 1 lb per week. I know you can do it :drinker: :drinker:
WHO'S IN ???????
I'll check in every Friday and post my gain and see what you all have lost :flowerforyou:0 -
Victoria -- I'M IN!! :drinker: I plan to lose that much by next Friday. :laugh: And I think you'll be able to keep your weight gain to 20 pounds. Even with me not exercising more than cleaning and walking, eating WHATEVER I want, and retaining a ton of water, I have only gained 8 pounds in 3rd tri. It's really too bad I gained so much the first 16-17 weeks but it was the holidays and my metabolism was so off from losing weight there's really no wonder why I gained what I did. I was up 2 pounds from last week at my appointment so according to my doc records I've gained 30 pounds. It's really 39.6 for the last 40 weeks though. After I put on so much at first, my goal was to keep the total under 40 and I've just barely done that. Way too much but I'm incredibly confident about my ability to lose it after baby's here.
On that note, I'm pretty sure I'm not making my July goal next Friday, ladies. Ah well.0 -
Allison...............-1.6...............weight previously lost
Lauren..............-1.5...............weight previously lost
Meokk..............+12.8.............. (hee hee ... all baby)
Lstpaul............-1.0.................
Meokk - I like your challenge, I'm in! Good to hear from you Lilspy, we were all wondering about your progress. I was induced with both my pregnancies, once with a cervical gel - (that took a long time to get things moving), and once with some sort of drip - I didn't much like that but it did work. Both times they broke my water (which isn't the funnest experience) and things really start moving after that. Good luck!
I was happy with the scale this morning to have lost my 1 pound gain from last week and another pound overall. I am .2 away from losing 30 pounds but I am going to round it up and say WOO HOO to 30 pounds gone! I am feeling great!
We are heading to a cabin on Leech Lake tomorrow in northern Minnesota, hopefully will be more fun and relaxing than our college tour vacation was last week. I think the food may be even more challenging though, I need to make a plan. I am going to make a few of the recipes from my nutrition class recipe book. I took another class this morning - just a 2 hour 'Jump start your metabolism' class. It mainly covered all the things my longer weightloss class did - but was a good reminder and motivator for me.0 -
Good afternoon!
I was running behind schedule this morning and completely forgot to weigh myself, so I'll have to use tomorrow morning's weight.
Julie: I'm betting you have your baby tonight since it's a full moon!
Jess: Yay for restarting Insanity and having the bf do it, too!
Lauren: I love Chipotle. I have a chicken fajita bol (no rice) every Wednesday.
Meokk: The challenge sounds good me me. Count me in!
lstpaul: Have fun at Leech Lake!
Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Over (but intentionally)
Water: 11 glasses
Exercise: 2 hours volunteering
Proud: That I have an awesome boyfriend.0 -
I realized I didn't check in on Friday. I apologize. I've kind of been off in la la land!
WHERE IS EVERYBODY!?
Meokk-Glad to hear your pregnancy is going so well! Thanks for stopping in and saying hello! :drinker: :flowerforyou:
Julie-I really hope that little girl shows soon. I know you are beyond ready. I love your posts on fb with all your projects though! Hang in there girl.
Heather-Are you ready for Saturday? This girl isn't! I'm so freaking sore from Insanity!!!
I now remember why I hate the begining of Insanity!! The last time I did it I gained before I lost. So yep...as of this morning I'm up almost 6 pounds. But I'm so sore I can hardly walk. EVERYTHING hurts!! But...no pain no gain right!? It'll come back off.
I leave Thursday for my road trip up to the north so I'll check in with my weight then. I wont be on much after that cause I wont have access to a computer. I wish I could get on the board through my app. We leave Thursday when I get off work and are driving straight through to Minnesota. Just me and my bestie!! I stocked up on energy drinks and we plan on packing stuff to make sammiches and and have other snacks. Keep the costs low and hopefully not gain weight. Can't wait to get some Wisconsin cheese though! Were in Minnesota Friday and Saturday for the Warrior Dash and then we head over to Wisconsin Saturday evening and are there till Tuesday morning. I can't wait!! I'm ready to get away!!
How was everybodies weekend!?0 -
Jess, I'll be seeing you THIS Friday!! I'm doing happy dances here! It's supposed to be 88 degrees and sunny on Saturday, but low humidity...so far. You know how weather forecasts can change quickly.
This weekend was lovely. I had the house to myself for part of Friday evening and almost all day Saturday. I spent the weekend being domestic (rare thing for me!). I made homemade iced coffee (AWESOME!), had all meals at home except Friday night when my sister brought Chipotle home for both of us, cleaned the kitchen and got all of my laundry home. It was so relaxing and a great way to stay out of the extreme heat and humidity (for Minnesota).
Checking in for the weekend:
Friday:
Calories: Over
Water: 9 glasses
Exercise: None
Proud: Got all my grocery shopping done for the next two weeks and made my homemade coffee.
Saturday:
Calories: Over
Water: 11 glasses
Exercise: 2k with my sister...it was her first race and she ran the whole thing! (1.2 miles). I barely broke a sweat and was able to talk the entire time. I've come a LONG way since the days of weighing 208 and being out of shape. It was a nice reminder of that fact. Also, the bf's sister and two nieces also ran and it was their first race, too!
Proud: Of the four ladies who ran their first race!
Sunday:
Calories: Over
Water: 12 glasses
Exercise: Walked the three blocks to the pet food store with my mom and carried the 18 lb. bag of cat food home instead of driving. It was 94 degrees and super humid!
Have a great day!0 -
So - how about a challenge ?!?!?
How about all of you pledge to lose the same amount that I will be gaining between now and Oct 22nd (ish). That should be somewhere between 8 and 13 lbs which makes it only 0.5 - 1 lb per week. I know you can do it :drinker: :drinker:
WHO'S IN ???????
I'll check in every Friday and post my gain and see what you all have lost :flowerforyou:
That is such a cute challenge. It's great that you are including everyone on here in your pregnancy. I imagine it will be extremely easy to get back in the swing of dropping the weight after pregnancy by keeping your connections on here so strong.0 -
Jess, I'll be seeing you THIS Friday!! I'm doing happy dances here! It's supposed to be 88 degrees and sunny on Saturday, but low humidity...so far. You know how weather forecasts can change quickly.
That's a cold front for me!! I'm gonna need sweats!! We've had over 100+ for I think like 20 days straight or something. I can't wait to get away. I read there was a small chance of rain. I don't even remember what rain is anymore.0 -
I never got a chance to check in on Friday. I was down 1 pound! Yay!! My goal for last week was to get moving, but I guess I'll make that my goal for this week also. I just can't seem to fit it in. My youngest is not sleeping through the night and still gets up 2-4 times a night. If not for that, I would try getting up before everyone else and exercise then. As things are right now, I just feel like I need that extra sleep to function. I'm starting not slack on tracking my calories also. I need to get back to that this week also.
How exciting that you guys are awaiting new babies!0 -
Where is everybody?0
-
I'm here... just busy not having a baby. :laugh:
Little miss Maisie Charlotte has 39 hours to make a move on her own. If she doesn't, she's being evicted on Wednesday!
I had an ultrasound today to check everything since I'm now past my due date & all is well. I'm very happy for that, but seriously, she needs to GET OUT!0 -
I'm here! Just busy with work - traipsing around outside in the heat to try out our new onsite game.
Will try and check in tonight.0 -
Hello Ladies, I am home!!! I had a wonderful week. I think I mostly maintained while I was gone. The food was higher calorie but I tried to walk after every meal and when I say walk I mean up a hill....Oh my was it hard.
Julie, I was hoping to return to a baby girl already arrived. Well, that is okay she will be here no later than Wed. so congrats for that
I am not sure I will have time to catch up so if someone who is in the *know* would like to leave me a summary I would so appreciate it. This week is very busy. Getting laundry done and getting physicals, dentist appointments, and college stuff ready before all 4 of my monkey's return to school....not to mention paying bills and going through mail.0 -
Welcome back Momma! Sounds like you had a wonderful vacation!
I'm really feeling like doo doo. I hope I perk up soon so I can workout when I get home. I have a date with Shaun T!0 -
Just a quick check in to say hello! My 30th birthday was yesterday and it was quite a lot of fun. Took a half day to see Harry Potter - so cool!
Over in cals and under in water this weekend. This week is going to be tough - it's so hot and we're so busy!0 -
Lauren: Glad you had a happy birthday!
Sherry: Welcome home! The thread has been a bit quiet, with most of us just anxiously awaiting the arrival of Julie's baby. Oh, and Jess and I being excited that we get to meet on Friday!
Jess: We've had a lot of rain here lately, so I'd be happy if there wasn't any on Saturday. We're supposed to have 100 degree weather today and tomorrow. We've been at over 90 degrees with high humidity for a few days now. We're not used to that up here! We plan on taking the boat out after work; I'm going to use my life jacket to float effortlessly in the water for a few hours to stay cool.
Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Over
Water: 12 glasses
Exercise: None, unless I can count meandering around the mall for an hour. But I didn't exert myself by any means, so I'm not counting it!
Proud: Although I spent more than I planned at the MAC counter, I didn't go hog wild like I would have liked to. I have too many trips coming up that I need to save for.0 -
Heather-I don't remember what rain is. I wouldn't mind seeing it!! LOL0
-
Welcome back Momma24! I was just checking in to see if lilspy had her baby ... no news yet I guess? We are vacationing up north this week - food is a challenge but I am trying to get in an hour walk/run every day to work off that coffee cake! My mom brought banana bread and coffee cake, and last night I just had to have some, but doing better so far today.0
