Feeling soooo tired today. I felt like I hadn't slept all night. Much to do, however, so on with the day, tired and slightly nauseous. I have a bit of a cold so the post nasal drip is not helping the nausea. I have to say, however, that I am comforted by the feeling, knowing everything is going according to plan. Heather-…

Hi Everyone, I'm Melissa, newly pregnant with my 4th baby! I am a homeschooling mom for my 9, 7 and 6 year olds (and 3 of their friends). This was a bit of surprise for us but we are all sooooo excited. In the last year I had lost about 35 lbs. I was 5 lbs from my first goal weight and I hit a plateau for about 6 months.…

Hi, I'm Melissa, I haven't been on here in awhile and see that there are lots of new faces so I will reintroduce myself. I am a stay at home and homeschooling mom. I have a 9 year old daugther, 7 year old son and almost 6 year old son. I also homeschool 3 of their friends. We recently found out that we are expecting #4 in…

Thanks so much AJ! I'll give that a try. Our workout definitely helped today!!!

Look at you ladies and your exercise goals!!! Great encouragement for me! My goals are to workout at least 5 days this week. I did 5 days last week if I counted shoveling! Just wanted to share my triumph before I head to the gym...I BOUGHT SIZE 10 JEANS!!!!! :love: I haven't bought size 10 jeans since I was 20! I'm 32 now…

not sure I will be able to squeeze in a workout today between homeschool (I have mine and my 3 extras today plus 4 more coming for book club in 45 minutes) and a trip to my moms (1.5 hrs away). Maybe I can get on her treadmill this evening after the kids go to bed, So hungry today!!! My calves are killing me from my step…

Hello Everyone, Great job to all you ladies who are keeping your goals this week! Stacey and Katie you have inspired me to try to get 5 workouts in this week. 3 down, 2 to go (but i had to count shoveling lol). I'm doing good with my goal to get more water in this week and eat less chocolate! Still some, but less :laugh:…

Hello Ladies, I have been unsuccessfully trying to get on her and post more consistently. I certainly need the accountability and more friends! I've been hitting the workouts hard when I can make it but the food hasn't been great. So chocolate addicted. It has been 1 year today since I joined mfp. I am still 5 (ok, 7 but…

KatieM- I have two that were intolerant to milk. I have found that chewable probiotics on a daily basis really helped. I am especially fond of Acidophikidz. I usually order from Vitamin Shoppe. My youngest will be going gluten free after the holidays b/c he is having so many skin issues. He has always had Keratosis Pilaris…

Kat I'll give it to you if you give me one back lol! Get on out there girl and get movin' I've been feeling very similar to you. My weight stayed about the same since April at 170ish and I have 5 lbs to go to hit my goal of 165. I can run 5 miles on a regular basis now which is a miracle and at my cousin's christmas party…

Hello Ladies, I haven't been on here in quite awhile but definitely needing some extra accountability! I've been getting back on track with my workouts. 3-4 times a week for 3 weeks now but I am not back on track w/ my eating. I have had some good days but they aren't going to make up for the bad days! Sweets abound around…
-
Hello Ladies, You 've all been so busy! Canning, bread making, AND working out and watching what you eat. You all have much to be proud of (and make me look like a slacker lol.) I have made it to the gym a few times a week for the past two weeks and I'm pleased with that. Now I must curb the sugar. That is easier said than…

Nicole- I used to stamp a lot, the key is good stamps and good ink. I never really had much luck with craft store stamps only the expensive kind from Stampin Up that my sister used to sell lol. Good luck!

Hello Ladies, Homeschooling started back up today and I should be diligently getting back to my workout and calorie counting routine now...but I am still up at 11:25 pickling beets and making pesto and posting lol:laugh: It's going to be a little challenging to get out of summer mode this year. I haven't counted or logged…

Hi Ladies, So many new faces, welcome!! I'm Melissa and I am a homeschooling SAHM of 3. My daughter is 9, and my sons are 6 and 5. I also homeschool 3 other kids during the school year. I have been enjoying having the summer "off" with just my kids. I have been a slacker lately. I still stay under cals most days but I'm…

Trish- pix are amazing! Katie- Congrats on the offer on the house Katiem- good luck getting back on track w/ the food logging. I'm trying to do that too. Nicole- Yay! 1/2 way to the goal. Have you been able to run or is your Achilles still bothering you? Kim- So glad the cortizone has helped. I have heard great things…

Hi Ladies, Just checkin in real quick. I'm having a rather slow week. I couldn't drag myself out of bed yesterday or today to hit the gym or run before dh left for work. I ended up doing Taebo extreme b/c I can do it at home although I hate being watched by the kiddies so I banish them to any room but the living room. I…

Hello everyone, I love this cleaning topic as I am sitting here posting instead of doing the cleaning I should be doing. I am not a maintenance cleaner. I mean I do some maintaining but mostly big bulk cleaning. My reasoning is that cleaning makes me so grumpy it is better to be grumpy for a whole day every now and then…
-
Hello Ladies, I hope you all had a great holiday weekend and stayed good on the calories. I did OK, I have put my calories up to a 1 lb loss a week so I feel like I am overeating when I eat them all and my workout cals too. I overall just feel like a slacker lately but then I log in all my calories and most days I still…

Hi everyone, Welcome to you new fabulous SAHM's! Nicole - I hope your jam comes out better than mine. It is like strawberry sauce :grumble: I don't know what happened. This is my 3rd year making jams and I've only gotten one batch right. I try to make it w/o sugar and use honey and juice concentrate to sweeten instead so…

Hello Ladies, How are you all doing on the goals you set for yourself this week? Stacey-seems like you're keeping up w/ yours wtg. KatieM- wtg on the laundry...I can't imagine how much you must have. I only have 3 kids and I can't keep up! I have kept up w/ logging in calories and have stayed under everyday so far! It's…
-
Hello Ladies, It's been quiet around here! Stacey- wtg setting goals. I need to do that too. My goal is to work out Mon-Fri this week b/c I was a SLACKER last week. TOM arrived and I used it as an excuse to be lazy. I did OK on cals but didn't track diligently either so my other goal is to log all my calories. Thanks for…

Hello Everyone Welcome to all you new ladies! Stacey- So sorry to hear about the school :frown: Isn't that why you had moved? I'm sure God has a different and more perfect plan for you daughter and the rest of your family. I pray He'll reveal it soon and put all of your minds at ease. I have a cousin in Vegas looking to…

Hello ladies, Princess- so glad it was just an infection. Hope your daughters finger is OK! Sounds like a rough week! Prayers going up :smile: KatieM- yay on the inches! Trish - yay on the tankini! Stacey - yay on the move lol! Katie - good luck on the painting. I'm stuck again. I can't seem to stay away from sugar lately.…

Hi Everyone! For all the newbies that I haven't introduced myself to, I am Melissa, a homeschooling SAHM of 3 (but I homeschool 2 extras). Mine daughter is almost 9 and my sons are 6 and 5. My extras are 8 and 10 yo girls and I have another extra 6 yo boy coming in the fall! I am so glad we are almost done w/ school for…

princessleia - if you can't run, walk on an steep incline. That is easiest if you can use a treadmill but if not, find some steep hills if possible. If I walked 1 hour on the treadmill at an incline of 15 (that is the highest my TM would go) I could burn almost 1000 calories! (according to the TM calorie counter). My…

Hello everyone! What a week! Hubby was gone for 1st half so I barely worked out at all this week b/c I couldn't get to the gym. I did pretty well for cals, got better as the week went on. Went for a good run this morning and helped a friend paint her new house. She "paid" us w/ barbecue chicken pizza and it was soo yummy.…

Hi Ladies, Trish- I am so sorry about the snow. :noway: I can't think of many things worse than snow at this time of year. I just can't imagine what I would do if it snowed here again. Praying it changes quickly. If it's anything like spring in New England it will. Here they say, if you don't like the weather, wait a…
