How are you doing? How was your holiday weekend? I never did get any of my past typed up yet, maybe it's not the right time for me to share anyways. I am having a some what rough time staying focused and on "the wagon" so to say, so I'm pretty sure bringing up emotional baggage is not the best idea for me right now. How is…

:flowerforyou: I have noticed similar side effects when I went from eating like crap, to cutting out the processed foods, to going back to eating like crap. How can it be worth it for us to eat like this? I too had lots of stuff I shouldn't have today and I can definitely see how sluggish and irritable I am. I think it's…

Congrats Tami! He is adorable! :happy: :flowerforyou:

I also have PCOS (it's pretty severe actually) and I've gained over 40 pounds in the past few years. I have had a very difficult time losing weight (although I can, I just have to be very diligent about my eating and workouts) and it comes back pretty easily if I go back to old habits. I had a very bad experience with Yaz,…

Here's a link to the group I've started. It's a great group of ladies and very supportive. We keep each other motivated, we are currently doing a challenge for the month of September (committing to working 21 out of 30 days this month) and we have weekly weigh-in on Wednesday.…

Good luck with your c-section tomorrow! I wanted to say that I think you are truly inspiring that you hit your goal weight and you maintained a healthy weight throughout your pregnancy! You are super cute and I think all the weight will fly off when you have the baby. Congrats on your new addition! :happy: :flowerforyou:

*Hugs* I wanted you to know that I've read your entry, but I need some time to write my response (I have a lot to tell you too) I wish we would have come into each other's lives a lot sooner. We both had lots of trauma in the last 5+ years. But we're here now, right? How are you doing today? When are you going to have the…

*Hugs* :heart: *Hugs* :heart: *Hugs* :heart: I think you needed some extra hugs today! I'm glad to hear that MFP is helping to make you think twice before grabbing the comfort food. ANY step in the healthy direction is WONDERFUL! Keep moving forward taking it one day at a time and try and make the best choices that you can…

Megan - I know I'll get there, it's just going to take time (and it depends on my mood too) Silver- what's this? Are you competing with me? Bring it on girl....lol :happy: :laugh: Keep talking like that and I will keep trucking right along (you know I'm competitive, right....lol) On a serious note, I think you should do…

Welcome Tina! You are going to love this wonderful group of girls! Our weigh-in is on Wednesday. Megan - :laugh: I was wondering how you were already to BIU...I guess you weren't :wink: Kim - if I were you, I would talk to your boyfriend and tell him your goals and what YOU want to achieve and you need to enforce that you…

:flowerforyou: Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You are truly inspiring! :heart:

Megan - you are moving to BIU already? When did you start RIU? Silver - I hear ya girl! I can do the legs (for the most part, except all the darn leg lifts) but my arms will start killing me. We just gotta keep going and we'll be so proud the day we can say that we can do the DVD's without our arms killing us! Actually, on…

I forgot to ask you Megan - have you wanted to yell at Debbie yet? I was within 2-3 workouts...lol

Kathy - those ice creams do sound good. I'll have to see how I do with the cake...I can have a bit of an ice cream addiction at time - I do best not having any in the house. If I really am craving it I can go get A cone at our local ice cream stand. That's my safest bet of not binging (and I know it...lol) :laugh: Okay, I…

Great idea! You have hit the RESET button and it's time to take action for yourself! You go girl! You can do this! :flowerforyou:

Kathy - that's wonderful! I know that we all seem to focus a little too much on the NUMBER that the scale shows us instead of looking at the results that we are getting! Great job! :flowerforyou: Kim - do not give up on yourself. You know what you want and what you are going to do. I look at food as an addiction (I really…

Well they are awesome pictures! I'm glad to hear that your divorce made you happy, you just never know what happened or why so you hate to ask! I'm all ears for anything that you want to share! So, I'm on my own for the workout tonight. Josh is going over to a friend's house for guys night. Ok, I'm going to do this - I…

lol - did you take the dolphin pictures that you have up yourself? I think that is so awesome! Your nails sound beautiful! I love it when I have a french manicure done, it always looks so pretty and classic. Do you have natural or acrylic nails? I wanted to ask (but I don't want to pry), how long has it been since your…

Woohoo - how was it? Did you get anything fun done? I was just laughing, I just realized that my toe nails match my shirt today...:happy:

Silver- I used to feel that way too, and around other people I can be self conscious. But I joined the gym at work in March and it's all guys down there (and they do stare....men) So I got over my fear pretty quick. I figure that I'm not the biggest person in the world and I am trying to do something about it, so who cares…

Roxie - thank you for the compliments! I wish that we could get pregnant the good ol' fashioned way, but that's not going to happen. We'll keep practicing though. :wink: :love: Silver & Jill - Great job with the weightloss! Christine - I hope your sister gets to feeling better soon. I agree with Kathy, that's a great…

Good Morning everyone! Judy and Kathy - let me know if you get the Biggest Loser cookbook and what you guys think. Megan, I'm glad to hear that you like the food and you're a picky eater (that is so me...lol) I am in an aggrevated mood today. My co-worker called off work today and had decided yesterday to leave two trays…

Bri - in case you see this I wanted to say congrats on the weightloss! I'm sorry to hear that you are so stressed, but I'm glad that you are still making progress. :flowerforyou:

Okay, I'm having a totally blonde day. I see the calories now - must have been completely blind earlier! :laugh:

I am starting my 3rd week of Slim in 6 and I am down 9 pounds so far. I think that this is a wonderful program and I'm excited for you to get started with it! :flowerforyou:

Megan - lol - we all have those days/times...lol I may have to get that cookbook. How many calories was your lunch today?

What's your schedule with your daughter? Do you have shared parenting? I have to laugh at how much I am posting today....I think it's more than I posted almost the entire week last week. I guess I was pre-occupied with more interesting things last week! :smooched:

Good for you Silver! I gave up smoking back in March and I've never looked back. :flowerforyou: :smokin:

Nevermind, I remembered and I found it - it was for the Indian Chicken Pita. I had a question though, I don't do spicy - what could I substitute for the curry paste?

Megan - where do you get all these recipes? What's the recipe for the turkey nachos? What was the other recipe that I asked you for? I remember you posting it, but I have no idea of where I'd find at in all our pages...lol
