Hi Lushes. Massive amount of wine and some rum this week but at least I'm tracking and not going super high over cals. I think the hardest thing for me is tracking and being good on the weekends. I do great during the week even if I'm drinking but then the weekends just get me so far off track I've gained 4 pounds in like…

Happy Anniversary!! Sorry your stuck at work! :( Hi Lushes! Happy May! I've been very lushy per my usual this weekend but yesterday a lot of drinks equalled a bad decision... pasta! Oh well it was sooooo good. Going to be very good this week with logging and try to get back to where I was.
-
Very lushy this weekend and lots of carby foods yesterday from a meeting that was catered and then 3 cocktails when I got home. I have to knock it off this week, feeling very bloated and sure I've gained. :(

Way to go, Yvonne! No drinks AND the gym on the weekend, you're my hero! It's so true, once I don't have a drink one night I can just keep going indefinitely... ok only til' Friday. LOL! I would drink too if I had Jury Duty! Been stressed out this week so I had some rum drinks Monday and 2 glasses of wine last night. Today…

Hi Lushes! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Fun weekend, ate out a lot some of it healthy some of it not so much and lots to drink Friday night Saturday night and pretty much from brunch til 2 am yesterday. Time to try to repair that damage.

OMG! I take that back, I guess it's working, I lost two pounds since last week!! I'm doing a freakin happy dance right now! I had no idea, wasn't weighing myself because I didn't want to feel disappointed since I don't feel any thinner. Ok, now I have to not blow it this weekend! :smiley:

Thanks guys for the welcome, I'm glad to have found you! Totally need a judgement free zone because here I am frustrated about not losing weight so I have a drink to feel better. Oops! All week even though I've had a drink or two each night I've actually been close to or under calories... not that it seems to have helped!…

Oh that yoga sounds fun!! I've had a couple drinks each night this week but last week I didn't have any during the week! Pretty proud of that. Guess this week hasn't been so great. Lots of vet oncologist appts for my pup and a sick kiddo and hubs working late every night. Just gotta unwind.

Hello! I'm new to this group. Hope I'm putting this in the right area... I'm from Southern Cali and I'm a mom to a two year old boy. I work full time from home and the weekends were made for drinking. Also the weeknights. So how the hell do we lose weight and still indulge?? I'm so stuck.

I'm breastfeeding my 2 year old and could use some people to help motivate me!

I'm still nursing my almost 2 year old and I did the same thing, had only about 7 lbs to lose to be at my pre-pregnancy weight (and another 10 to my goal weight) and then instead of working on that I gained another 20 lbs. Ugh, so mad at myself. And finding time to exercise and making time to eat right is a whole new…

That's great Wallyb! I love grains too Witty! I hope I can get to a good place so I can indulge now and then. Today I made banana pancakes with egg and banana. My 1 year old son loooooved them and so did my husband and I. And I even went to a party and had a little cheese and a little chicken even though there was soooooo…

Day 4 and I've dropped 3 pounds without counting a single calorie! :D

Hi I'm Heather, 30 (ugh, so weird to say) and I love to game. I mostly play online games I get bored playing alone. It all started with Ultima Online back in the day, then Evercrack and many years of WoW. I have since started playing more Xbox games, mostly MW3 and L4D2 but I just got Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012…

Just throwing in my 2 cents... Hollywood Beach in Oxnard. Partly cause I live on it so I'm partial but also because it's clean, wide, dog friendly and never crowded, I usually have it mostly to myself and a few locals.

Hi, I have a friend that does Isagenix and was thinking about giving it a try to kick start some weight loss and lose the cravings. Add me, I've love to see your progress and chat. :)

Perfectly said!

I hope you do not think I was telling everyone to run out and get Raspberry Leaf Tea and that's what this is about. I was just sharing what I read about it and a link to what others have said about it because I was considering trying it. Or maybe because I've been sharing my experiences with Eastern Medicine (acupuncture,…

Oh wow. My friend has done cupping on me but it was just with the glass, not the cuts. Ok, cuts scare me, haha! Cupping was fun though, felt like a crazy *kitten* massage and then I looked like I was attacked by an octopus from the bruises on my back. That was my fav part, haha! Don't be so hard on yourself, it's just…

Omg your Aunt! Does she know what you're going through? Sounds like she's sweet but totally misguided. Hopefully you'll get that BFP soon though and you'll have a ton of baby furniture out of the way. You should totally give acupuncture a try, it sounds scary but honestly it's not. I'm a needle phobe (I mentioned this in…

mrsjenfrank - I totally did, gained 2lbs. How is that possible?!!?! Arg. That support group sounds awesome! So glad you get a chance to try it. thedestar - Isn't it the worst, sometimes I feel like I'll never get anywhere. One "bad" day and I can undo the progress of the last 2 weeks! Ya I can see that a blog can be time…

Congrats Alisa and Smores!!!!!!!!! A hardy welcome to the newcomers as well! You've found a great group here. AFM - FINALLY lost a couple pounds but then sabotaged myself when my friend came over. She was really bummed and I wanted to cheer her up but I went to far, ate crap and drank too much so now I'm pissed at myself.…
-
YAY, be brave!! Why yes I have heard of FertiliTEA, it's actually on my list of stuff to try. How are you liking it? Oh and FertileCM I want to try too when the time comes... I think if anything that would be where any *issues* would lie for me. Good job getting back on the eating good/exercise wagon!!!

Hi Jalara - no worries, I'm not TTC yet, just preparing to. So true about natural remedies and "Western" ones. Luckily at this time I don't take any prescriptions but it's good to be careful, I'm going to check with my acupuncturist (she's basically my doctor, I only go to an MD when she makes me, lol) before I start…
-
Oh found out some good stuff about Raspberry Tea here: http://www.birthingnaturally.net/cn/natural/raspberry.html
-
Woohoo jalara! Julia - fingers crossed for you!!! Baby Dust!! I read about Raspberry Leaf Tea recently and I'm thinking about giving it a try... it's supposed to help regulate periods and also help with cramps and other symptoms as well as being great for pregnant women, just uterine health in general. Read some of the…

Hi Honey, so sorry to hear about the miscarriage, glad you're getting back up on the horse! Happy anniversary and BABY DUST! It's such a good book isn't it?! Yes I just started acupuncture but I've had a treatment before. My best friend practices Traditional Chinese Medicine so it's so easy to talk to her about everything.…
-
Hello ladies!! So much happening in here I can't keep up! Baby Dust for you ladies in your 2WW, I think I saw a couple of those. I finished Taking Charge of Your Fertility, SO GOOD. It's weird right now to really get what's going on, every twinge, cramp, all of it is making sense in terms of where I'm at in my cycle. So…

Haha, that's good to hear because I may just go into debt for it. At this point I am just going to do what I can with what I have and not worry too hard about what *may* happen. Money sucks! LOL
-
Haha, I know I need to so bad! And I need to do it soon otherwise I'll be too busy at work soon to take time off. Stupid wisdom teeth!!!
