Well, I gained 2.5 lbs, but I know why and that is what matters, right? Anywho, I am back on track already. I have exercised and had yogurt w/strawberries. I have a really busy day today. We had a 4 day weekend, so I have 2 days worth of work to do, plus today's. Plus they are planning on moving our office, so busy, busy, busy.

Well, gotta get my Avon ready to take to work and get the kiddos going. Talk to ya'll later and have a wonderful day.:flowerforyou:

Good morning gals! I'm up this week!:bigsmile: Baby is getting bigger! I'm a full 19 weeks now! :bigsmile: I do have pictures at home that I need to upload. I will try and do that tonight. I've been taking pictures each week and it's AMAZING how that belly grows! If anyone has Facebook, I have them all on there and would be happy to add you as a friend!

ANYways...Shanell and Cathy...keep at it girls! :flowerforyou: And the rest of you...good luck for weigh in!:flowerforyou:

Have a good morning!

hang tight shanell....sit w/donny and go over the package (if offered again) and see if you could do it. you wouldn't have daycare. maybe work part time. talk to mark. but, just make sure your finances are in order before you take the package.
are you handling it better today having done exerceses this morning?

kistin....great job on the slow gains. baby does grow fast. even fast after they are born....

i had a great workout at the gym today.

off to get some things done around here. i didn't clean house yestereday , so really need to get that done.

later

Up +1.6... but it is most likely water weight (TOM) and I usually see a 3-5 lb gain so less than 2 means that I probably lost "real weight" so next tuesday should be exciting!!!!! :drinker: I will catch up with you girls later... :flowerforyou: em

Sorry I haven't been around, personal stuff... Can tell by the gain that I've been self medicating with food again.. I did make it to the gym today, for the first time in two or three weeks, so hopefully I can get back on track. DH received an email from Disney about a cruise special, with two paid adults, up to 3 kids under 17 (I think) can go free. We have to call and see what we can wrangle, since we have 4 kids, maybe one adult and two kids per room, or something.... It'll be more expensive, but still cheaper than if we had to pay for each of the kids! I need to be cruise ready by summer... AAAAACK!

:sad: I feel like I'm going to cry! I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I'm staying within my cals with good foods, I'm working out... I'm hovering at 10lbs over what I was just before Christmas and I can't seem to move it! I've tried MORE calories, I've tried FEWER calories... honestly. I'm just feeling so defeated. I've taken 100 cals off my daily to go down to 1500 so we'll see what happens there and I know that one sure way of NOT losing any more weight and even adding to it is to slump down and quit, but I'm just not willing to do that. I have said it a few times but today I think I'm actually going to go get my thyroid checked. I don't think that's the culprit, but if it's not at least it will get me into my Dr's office to get the results and I can ask her if something else might be up.
Congrats to those of you who have lost and take heart, those who have gained :frown:

One of the coolest things... When I went to the doctor, I printed off two weeks worth of my food diary. It was nice, because he could look and see what was average, and told me I was doing good. (And I was, at the time, lol). It has a lot of info, and it showed him my average sodium intake, fiber, fat, etc. It was probably the most comprehensive thing I could have done. I also hand wrote in my exercise type and calories burned, and how much water I was drinking. (That was when I went for the thirst issue). It gives a good overall look.

Rhiannon, just remember that even if you aren't losing weight, you are doing WONDERS for your heart and body overall, improving your health and keeping your body ready for a long life to see your babies' babies' babies. :flowerforyou: I have to keep that perspective when I feel ready to give up. This is for my HEALTH even if I don't see the weight loss.

ohhhhh, that's it. we (gainers) didn't want kistin to feel left out. so we are gaining sympathy pregnancy weight with her. (sounds good to me, anyone else?)

hey go steph. you just blowing us out of the water. lets see drtam & b should be cruising by to splash us again with losses. next week ladies watch out. us gainers are going to gain on you :bigsmile: whos with me..... LOL...

LOVE IT!!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh:
Next week I am going to kick some A** :bigsmile: Come on girls we CAN DO THIS!!!!! My mini challenge for the week is to drop the gain and atleast get back to 146... 145 would be nice though!!!! :drinker:

You know I was thinking about all of the other diets out there. So many diets tell what you can or cannot eat or drink. I thought about it, and realized that I like this site better, because it does teach you how to stay where you need to to lose, without deprevation. I love Myfitnesspal and I love ya'll. I'm going to do this and feel healthy and wonderful. I am so in the spirit right now.

Well gotta make dinner. We're having Jenny o turkey loaf w/ mashed potatoes and corn on the cob, YUM!!!!

Later's!:drinker:

cheer up rose look at that 11#s gone, never to return right? don't let the food get control.

we are all stronger than that food calling our names.
the number on the scale is just for information.
life's a gift. live everyday as a thank you card.

hope this helps get people back at it. i know for me i am tired of struggling to lose this weight. i want it gone.

gonna do a little more packing
later

Cathy - you always know exactly what to say!! "live your life like a thank you card" LOVE IT!!!!!

just did Shred level 1 to kick myself out of a writers block/boys are stupid slump and am going to grab a quick bite before getting back to writing papers.

SOOOOOO excited for My Boys tonight as always. Tiff you will have to watch!!!

back later for sure,

Hey ladies. Just wanted to drop in and say hello!

For those losing weight....way to go!
For those not.....I understand your frustration!

I saw the doc today. Was given the ok to return to normal life and activity! Said to beware of the changes in my digestive system. Right now I am ok but it could change. Gave some more blood. He thought I looked super pale still. Wanted to check my blood count. Yikes. He also scared me. Said if we cant figure out this anemia thing then the next step is a bone marrow biopsy. Nothing good can come of that. I hope my GYN has an answer for me. I really dont want to travel down the other road!

Miss you all!

Hi Sixers.
I gained back 2.5 of the 3lbs I lost last week. :laugh: Oh well!

Things have been going downhill, on and off, for about the past 7 years of my marriage (8 years married this June, 11.5 years together), and everything has finally come to a head. I am moving out tomorrow. Told the husband I was going to stay with my mom, just neglected to mention I never intend to return and I'm taking (much less than) half the furniture with me. Really, I'm only taking a couple small items and he can keep the rest. I just want out. I'm sick of the years of emotional neglect and torturous unhappiness that has invaded my soul. I'm ready to be happy... and for me that means I have to move out. I am ready to live life to the fullest.

Also means I'm eating my fears. Change is scary. All change, good or bad. Ugh... trying to control this eating. Doing okay today... 55 cals still available and I intend not to eat a single one.

I was going to do personals but I can't focus. I'm very self centered right now; I'm sorry. :frown: Maybe another day I can focus better on others. Today isn't my day. I'm too nervous.

xo,
Lauryn
