    Ok I just have to share this. My daughter is 18 months old and she is a very stubborn 18 month old. She can talk and will talk but only if/when she feels like it. So I'm throwing my fiance a surprise birthday party this weekend and I'm trying to teach her to say "surprise". Now, like I said she can talk perfect sentances when she wants. In fact I asked her if she wanted to give grandma a hug last week and she told us she was "much too busy" :grumble: :laugh: :huh:

    So yesterday, I'm setting my SO up by telling him we've got too much going on this month with the wedding and pictures we want to do, he'll have to settle for a movie and we'll do something better next month. My daughter climbs onto the couch with us and screams: "Surprise daddy, Surprise!!" :huh: :noway: :noway: :sad:

    Well, now he's onto us! lol I told him I have no clue why she said it but I know he knows. *shrug

    It was still really cool to hear her talk so well as she just doen't flaunt her ability yet. :laugh:

    OMG ... Kids crack me up :laugh:

    Hi all!

    I hope everyone is having a good Wednesday. :flowerforyou:

    busymom74: That is so adorable. Kids really do say the darndest things...lol.

    I did C25K, Week 1, Day 2 last night and my 11 year old daughter even came with me and we both did awesome. She has decided she wants to do it too so she can try out for the track team in the spring. I rejoined the gym this weekend and I am hoping to go tonight depending on whether the kids have homework.

    Now that I am working out more, my weight will probably plateau for awhile since I find that generally happens to me even if I am increasing my calories to match my body's needs. I am not worried though because in the long run I will lose plenty and be much healthier.

    Well keep working hard everyone and have faith in yourself.

    Take care,
    Tammy

    Hey everyone! Weighed in this morning and wasn't too happy...but I had a slight binge last night so I'm hoping it's leftover from that. Had soup for dinner and by 9:30 it wasn't enough so I raided the fridge. Did about 200 calories in damage, possibly more because I didn't want to log it all :angry:

    Anyway, lost 1/2 pound so at least it's a loss!

    TW: 165.5

    On a more positive note, my family FINALLY noticed that I had been losing weight. I am only down about 7 more pounds from when I last saw them, but this time they asked me what my secret was and how much I had lost. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I think I may have recruited one of my family members to MFP as well....we will see!

    Well, I haven't been exercising at all but I've managed to lose 1/2 pound. For those of you who are keeping up with me, the hubby and I started trying to conceive in August but I got my TOM today so I guess August wasn't our month :frown: Oh well, I'm feeling good about September!

    Mags - YEAH for the 170's!:flowerforyou:

    Schlieffen - Yeah for the 150's :flowerforyou:

    Derocco - You are rockin' it! :drinker:

    ilike2moveit - a lb on vacation is awesome! :flowerforyou: I will keep Jake in prayers. My 4 year old son had cleft lip surgery at 4months and nothing is worse then seeing them as they wake up...poor babies. My son is actually having oral surgery on Friday:cry:
    Thank you! When I left the hosptial he was finally sleeping and I will be heading back to the hospital soon. Does your son need more than one surgery to correct the cleft lip? Is the oral surgery related? I'll be praying for you all as well.
    Glad to hear he's doing well!!! It's so scary when they put little ones "under".:flowerforyou:
    My son has a "tumor" on the roof of his mouth (Dr's word not mine!) We think the "mass" (my word, I like it better) is filled with teeth parts (it's been there since birth and he had a pre-tooth at age 2 days)..It had been planned to come out after age 5 but we went in a few weeks ago and the Dr. said I want it out now (that'll send a mom into freak out mode). Anyways I think I'm in shock they are actually removing it. 4.5 years of fighting with Dr's and dentists about it!! It's not a huge deal, just a huge deal to his mom! I've seen him "put under" and I'm not looking forward to it again. His lip looks awesome so hopefully no more surgery, maybe a little plastic surgery on his nose when he grows up if it gets uneven as he gets big...but most people don't even know he has a cleft! Thank you so much for asking.:flowerforyou:
    Bless his heart! Hopefully, no more surgeries after this! I'll pray for you guys. :heart:

    I hate you guys! Just kidding ofcourse, but I'm quite envious of everyone. I just started the last week of August, so I still have until end of October to see my result.

    But again everyone CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE ALL MY INSPIRATION TO KEEP GOING! Sorry for the caps, but I'm so excited for everyone. :flowerforyou:

    Went camping at the weekend and ate loads of rubbish. It is hard when you can't find out the calories in advance. That and being on my TOM.
    Anyway didn't lose anything this week but did manage not to gain so being positive for the next week.

    Well done to everyone who has lost this week. :laugh:

    I can't remember if I weighed in or not...

    Bouncing the same two pounds around....for a couple weeks now. Good news is I packed away a bunch of clothes that no longer fit me...yay!
  • Just wanted to stop in and say hi to my fellow june starters! :flowerforyou: I haven't weighed in in two weeks! I'm back up to 159.

    I've been really off-track lately. I quit my job to take a month off before i start nursing school and I have completely fallen out of my exercise routine and eating routine. It is soooo hard to lose weight and SO EASY to put it back on :grumble:

    I know I have no one to "blame" but myself, but i am desperately trying to accept my body and i find that calorie counting and all this stuff, while it works tremendously in terms of actually losing pounds, it makes me so consumed with food that I just get obsessed and I'm not sure if that's healthy either. Any advice?

    I also had switched to a 1200 calorie diet and now I switched back to a 1500 calorie diet (1 lb per week). I am 5'7" too so I'm not a small, tiny thing and I think I need to accept that I never will be! :laugh:

    Well, I'm glad to see so many familiar faces still sticking with it- you guys are inspiration for me. xxx

    Hi everyone ... How are you all doing? I just got back from shopping ... my husband and I were out looking for a nice gift for his parents 50th anniversary ... we went around the mall for a couple of hours and I think we found something nice ... but of course we have to please all five siblings since we all put in together. Hopefully they agree since the party is in a week and a half ... in my opinion ... we're cutting it kind of close. Anyway ... my eating and exercise today went well ... made good choices. I'm really pooped after the stressful work day and shopping so I think I'll have a nice cup of herbal tea and then head off to bed. Talk to you all again soon.

    Happy Friday Everyone!

    Last night I did Week 1, Day 3 of the C25K and wow I can't believe how well I am doing. I thought I would have to do each week twice since I am so out of shape and have severely sedentery lifestyle (I work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week in front of a PC) but I am raring to go for week 2 which I do the first day of tomorrow.

    I started going back to the gym a couple of days ago and am really enjoying it this time. I have always quit the gym because I always hated exercise with a passion but this time I am pretty into it.

    The flip side to working out though is that everytime I start, I hit a plateau in the weight loss for at least a the first month so my amazing success rate is most likely going to slow down for awhile. But that doesn't matter because even if I am not losing lbs, I will be losing inches. yay!

    Well, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and take the time to eat well.

    Tammy

    Better late than never...

    I am only down 0.3 this week, so I consider that the same.

    Positives are I treated my self to a bunch of new tops and sweaters for fall last night. All in medium!! I am going jean shopping tonight since both my fav's I can slip on and off without undoing them.

    Negatives are that i am exhausted, but I know I need to power through and things will get better.

    Hope everyone else is doing well! :smile:

    kandyjo - You've always been so supportive of me and all of us June Starters. You are right about needing to make the time to get back to your routine. You ARE worth it! I know you WILL do it!!!

    Hi my friends ... today has been a very stress filled day with family junk. Sometimes I just want to run away. Anyway ... as my mom always use to say ... this too shall pass. It's funny that when things like this happen you just want to eat the fridge ... but I won't let that happen ... not when I've been feeling so good with the new eating habits. It's just not worth it to pig out now. I hope you're all doing well. Thanks for letting me vent a bit.
