CONGRATS femm!!!!!! Ya!! I am so happy for you and cannot wait to see pics!

Hi Girls! I am having a busy weekend but just wanted to pop in and say hi! Jess - when Sunny bites faces and pant legs, etc. smack her nose and firmly tell her no. Then give her a toy to play with and praise her for having the toy in her mouth. Whenever you play with her have a toy in hand; no gloves required :wink:…

Good Morning GIRLS!!!! I love that we have so many newcomers! WELCOME!!!! Steph - I used to do Thia Chi often and it is a great tool for relaxing, stretching, and also helps with balance. May not burn the cals of an aerobic workout but the benefits are certainly there! I am starting couch to 5k with a friend today for a…

Good Morning Girls!!! Liz - thank you for the encouragement!! Kristen - glad you are back; was getting worried about you! Had a good weekend with lots of exercise and stayed under my cals. I I was one workout short of last weeks mini goal but sure did come close! Still no weight loss but I am feeling a little more…

Good Morning Girls!! Jess, Michelle, & Rachel - CONGRATS on the weight loss! You girls are doing a great job! Keep up the good work! I feel depressed and discouraged today. I honestly feel like I will look like this forever. I hate days like this.:sad: Kristen - where are you?!! -Cris

Hi Girls! Just walked the dog for 40 minutes and headed off to the gym to get there and find I left my gym bag at home. UGH. So, I stopped and grabbed a bottle of wine on my way home to make myself feel better! Have to get in some more exercise though so I have enough calories to have a glass or two! Oh how I love the…

Found the following bit of info on the web MD and thought it was interesting: Different women lose different amounts of weight after childbirth: •Skinny moms who gain 30 to 35 pounds lose most of their pregnancy weight in the first three months. •Borderline overweight, older moms, third- or fourth-time moms who gain…

Hi Girls! Had a great day yesterday; stayed under my cals and did 1 hour of exercise. BUT, I weighed in and have not lost any for the week :ohwell: really discouraging!!! Last Saturday's junk food fest must have really harmed me, so this week I need to be perfect. I plan to get in at least the 30 day shred 1 today if not…

hi girls!! kristin you are doing great! jess - you can totally meet that goal; you drop weight so quickly! mina - i think renting the wolfman would be a better choice for me. i do not like horror either but can handle monster movies and tolerate them much better on my couch! babyfat - i did a 20 minute jillian micheals…

Mina - how was The Wolfman? We had planned to see that too but it didn't happen. Kristen - Love the cute new picture of Kadence!!!

Good Morning Girls!!! So I have decided to set a mini goal for myself this week to get back on track. The goal is as follows: drink 10 glasses of water a day do Iron Yoga 3 times go to gym for 60 minutes 4 times I hope I stick to it!! I have just been so tired and lazy and really need a fresh start. Sounds like Valentines…

Holy cow Jess; on top of all that crap I ate yesterday afternoon I finished it off w/ 2 pieces of pizza. Worst day I have had to date! I put your girl scout cookies to shame!!! Not sure what came over me but I felt horrible about it when I woke up this morning! I love that you sew! You must be good to be able to make your…

Jess - you crack me up!!!! I just ate a mess of cheesecake after having a burger and 3 beers. dammit! My parents came to town to babysit and my hubby and I went out for the first time in months. We had good intentions and went to the gym for an hour and then planned to see a movie but pulled into the theater parking lot…

Welcome Melissa!!! Hey Jess - how did you figure out how many cals you burned shoveling snow?

Hi Girls!! Had a crazy busy weekend out of town that then overflowed into a busy week! So tired! Ate horrible foods over the weekend and did not exercise but weighed in last night at still lost 2 more lbs! What a relief! Amelia slept through the night Sat-Mon but was up last night twice having a hard time sleeping. I will…

Jess - where do you live? if i had to guess i would say antarctica!:wink:

Stacey - Welcome!! My heart goes out to you for what you have been through. Look forward to having you in our group! -Cris

I have totally gone over my cals already today and have not even had dinner yet. UGH! I am starving today. STARVING! I do think it correlates with breastfeeding for sure and I am very thirsty all the time as well. How many cals are all you breastfeeding Mom's taking in? I have been eating around 1500 but am hungry :ohwell:…

Hi Girls!! Kristen - here I am! Sorry - have been so busy with baby and getting ready to leave for the weekend and then have people over upon our return on Sunday for Super Bowl! Babies make for crazy busy days when trying to clean and pack, etc.!! So glad to hear little Kadence isn't allergic to soy! What a relief!!! Jess…

Good Morning Girls! Kristen - how is Kadence doing? Still having stomach upset? If she is indeed allergic to soy, is there a rice alternative that can be used? I am so sorry to hear about what you have been through with her, I can imagine it is heart wrenching and frustrating at the same time. Keep us posted. I have only…

Hi Girls! Welcome newcomers!! I love how many girls we have on here!! Had a great weekend! Two of my closest friends came to visit and stayed over Saturday night. I am pretty sure I exceeded my cals on Sat with 4 glasses of wine and Thai food for dinner. I have learned that drinking 4 glasses of wine and getting up for…

Jess - congrats on the unemployment, i will be filing today and hope to be approved as well! good luck w/ the yoga, you can do it!! Kristen - i give Amelia 1oz prune juice cut with 1 oz water and it works like a charm. -c

Good Morning Girls!! Cris2 - how cool that we spell our names the same! I have never met another Cris! Welcome and congrats on the 11 lbs lost! Jess - our dog was the same as a pup; even ate my cell phone at one point! Just make sure you have lots of puppy chew toys around as a safe option lol! Kristen - I agree w/ Jess, I…

Hello Ladies!! michfitzhome - All I can say is wow. If I were you I would give myself a huge pat on the back everyday for accomplishing what you do!! Do you have a Wii? Not sure if the older kids could participate with you in that way maybe while the trips napped? Jess - happy to hear the puppy is doing well. I looked at…

Good Morning Girls! Thank you all for your encouraging words regarding my layoff; your comfort is appreciated! I have come to terms with it and am looking on the bright side and thinking maybe it is a blessing in disguise. Now I have lots of time to spend with Amelia and more time for exercise :happy: Jess - How did Sunny…

hey Jess- puppies are like babies and will sleep better alone at night with a womb sound or white noise. if you have a womb bear or similar item from the baby, put it in the crate at night. trying to pump and type and it just isn't working! :wink:

Hi Girls! Well, I am having a hellava time right now. Was laid off from my job, Amelia has been colicky, and hubby and I have had no alone time which is starting to wear on the relationship. Ugh... Anywho... Weighed in yesterday and the scale put be back to my original weight yet my clothes are lose and I can fit into a…

Hello Girls! Kristin - I missed my workout and had pizza yesterday too! haha! I will be hitting the gym tonight to try and make up as well :wink: Amelia is doing great sleeping in her pack n play and tonight we are moving her into the bedroom! I cannot wait to sleep in my bed; it has been almost 6 weeks! I am finding it…

Hi Girls!! Jess - to answer your Q's: Amelia is mostly breast fed but we do supplement her feeds with 1.5 oz of formula to make sure she is getting enough cals because she was small at birth 6lbs 10oz and wasn't gaining back the weight she lost after very quickly. She is now 8lbs 1.5 oz at 5 weeks so her growth is really…
