Hey! I'm about 5 weeks pregnant (just found out a week ago), first baby, and if I count back I've already gained more than 6 lbs!!! I'm walking and gardening for exercise, but if I do more than 1-2 hours of even that kind of activity I feel weak and dizzy so I'm just resting when I need to and going at my own pace. I hear…

Hey Ladies, Just found out about a week ago that I'm pregnant and I'd love to join your group. I'm a little more than 5 weeks by my calculations (I have my first appointment in mid-July). I'm basically at least a bit nauseous all the time, but it isn't bothering me too bad. Today was the first day I wound up eating…

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." Thomas A. Edison This quote is in honor of my falling off the wagon again... and getting back on... again. I let life get the better of me. The important thing is to keep trying! :flowerforyou: Rachel =D

"As I ramble through life, whatever be my goal, I will unfortunately always keep my eye upon the doughnut and not upon the whole." Wendy Wasserstein Hey guys.

Quote of the Day "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." Thomas A. Edison Quick update. Came down 1.4 lb today at wi!!

Yaaaay!!! Sounds great. You gave me a boost for today. =D Thank you!

Quote of the Day: We never repent of having eaten too little. ~Thomas Jefferson, 1825 If I can, I'm going to link my quote and my update... so basically I ate too much yesterday and I'm repenting, lol. Today is a new day. I have to work tonight, but having last night off really helped my frustrations. Called my colleague…

Quote of the day: If food is your best friend, it's also your worst enemy. ~Edward "Grandpa" Jones, 1978 I had a super duper crappy night at work last night... Ate everything in sight... Had to leave a patient who was in a semi-emergent situation to the next shift which made me feel like a total tool. I really hate being a…

Quote of the day: It would be far easier to lose weight permanently if replacement parts weren't so handy in the refrigerator. ~Hugh Allen Had a decent day yesterday. Worked (work night shift 7-7) and snacked (maybe a future goal to stop that) so I overdid it a little, but not too badly. Also overslept and didn't exercise…

Happy Monday!!! Here is our quote of the day: “Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.” - Anonymous Melissa – Super great run schedule. You continue to be a major beast (in the best way) =D KanCrav – Nice quote. =D Motivational ones were…

I feel like we've done that before, lol. Thanks for fixing it!! So I went hunting for new motivational quotes this morning and have just been cracking up reading all these quotes on food and dieting. It is inspiring me to see if you guys wouldn't mind me doing a quote of the day? I think it would be fun, and it would also…

Happy May!!

Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging words!!! I really needed to hear that stuff. I know I can get down to earth advice here, and I'm really thankful for that. @ Guam- I am the exact same way with sweets. If I eat one I want to throw the whole day away as if it were “ruined” and then I proceed to stuff my face.…

Hey everybody!!! Been gone awhile. Sorry. Life has been crazy between work and more work and church etc etc. I've done a very mixed job eating-wise.

Meag – Sounds like your non-logging weekend went well! Did you wind up resigning? Do you have another job lined up or are you in the process of looking?
