Okay--year end challenge! Something to keep us motivated as these holidays start piling up! My first mini goal is to lose 5 more lbs--and then keep it off during the holidays. I'm trying to be realistic here. Haha.

Just a quick note before I head out so you all know I haven't fallen off the face of the planet- mrsjenfrank--like shannon said, this is a journey--there will be bumps and setbacks, but even the fact that you are keeping a log and are willing to write down the truth and share it with someone else is a BIG step forward, and…

Heh heh. Well, my expereince was different than when I was on Clomid, but you remember my commentaries on that phase of my life. Prometrium affected me too. Made me hungry, and to be quite honest, it depressed me--zapped my coping mechanisms. As if the 2WW wasn't hard enough, I couldn't figure out why I was so depressed…

Hey all! I weighted in today. No loss, but no gain. Considering that I lost 2 lbs last week (unheard of), and have AF on the horizon, I'm still feeling okay about how the past week went. And I'm having pizza tonight. :-) Don't have much time to type. I'm enjoying all our new faces---sorry I'm not much help "talking" on the…

I had pizza too--and looked forward to it all day! Not horrible at all.....

Hi all--I feel like I've just been lurking rather than engaging, but that's just how life goes sometimes! I have read everyone's posts, but I'm not going to reply to all of them...don't have the time. BUT--Yay to our board's BFP!! :-) I hit my "5 lbs lost" mark on WW this morning when I weighed in. A little star with a 5…

Day one is the first day of full flow. That's what the drs have me going by. Spotting doesn't count. Might double-check with them if you are concerned about it, but that's what they told me....full flow=CD1.

Morning all. Good news--I am back down to my pre-vacation weight from the first week in September--minus another .2 lbs. I'll take it. Now just gotta keep going in the right direction. I've changed my WW weigh-in day to Friday--I keep having all these points left over for the weekend, and then I think I undo much of the…

Back from the retreat--calculating just how good/bad I did food-wise. Weigh-in tomorrow morning....ugh. :-)

Smores--I'm so sorry. I wish there was something else we could do than be cyber-supportive. Hugs. Thanks for the book recommendations--keep em coming. (Those of you too busy to read anything other than textbooks at this juncture are excused. I remember those days in grad school well. If it wasn't a journal or a textbook it…

You sound like me on progesterone! Hang in there everyone waiting for AF--I hope it doesn't come! AFM: Felt kinda cruddy today. Didn't work and stayed home with little boy today. Of course tonight would be the night hubby has a meeting, so little boy and I are watching more TV than recommended by all parenting authorities.…

Don't have much time to type, but wanted to jump in-- YAY for our BFPs!!! Pam--I liked the pics--but when I saw the one of you all holding the plant, the first thing I thought was "OMG--I HOPE THATS NOT POISON IVY!!" I'm sure it wasn't. Do you even have that up there? AFM: Birthday was great. Relaxed, and hubby took over…

Hi all! Wow--some of us are really down in the dumpies, aren't we? I know I've been feeling that way lately. Maybe it's the weather...or just the CRAPPY CURVEBALLS LIFE THROWS AT US. (Oooo, where did that come from? Breathe in, and out, in and out....). Haha. Jalara--I'm not doing meetings--just WW online. I just don't…

Wow--I can hardly keep up with you all! CONGRATS TO OUR BFPs!!! YAYAYYYYYY! I couldn't have survived my pregnancy without my Neti-Pot. I TOTALLY RECCOMMEND IT (even if I can't spell.) It takes a little bit to get used to, but no drugs, no side effects, and it works! Welcome to the new people! May your stay be short and…

Down three pounds in a week at my weigh-in this morning! Wahoo! Not expecting that much next week, but it felt like a good jump start, and I just feel more in control having a "structure" to work within. And, I'm a saver, so I like having points to "save" for times when I just know I can't do it with my daily points.…

Hey all! WHEW this board is rockin. Not much to report here. Day 5 of Weight watchers--doing pretty good so far. My first "test" will be today and tomorrow--hubby has been away for the week at a trade show in Baltimore. Little guy and I are driving up there to meet him tonight, stay in the hotel, and then we are all going…

Yeah--when we started IUI, they asked if we wanted to be tested. We already have one kid who doesn't have it, so we decided not to do the testing. The rest of the rationale was purely financial. A friend did do the testing, and she came back positive for the gene, so they wouldn't continue treatment until he got tested…

Hey all--so, full disclosure--I DID gain 4 lbs on vacation. OY! And then I signed myself up for Weight Watchers Online yesterday morning. (Coincidence? I think NOT!) Don't worry--I'm not leaving the forum, but the vacay kicked my (slightly bigger) *kitten* into doing it. I've paid for 4 months, which should get me to the…

Edit--this turned into a doozy long one, but I"m posting it anyways: Hi all--sheesh--I go on vacation and when I come back, I need another vacation just to catch up with you all!! Missed you all, but obviously not enough to log on during my vacation. Heehee... Just got back from a week in the OBX (beach)--it was great.…

Hey all--i worked out today, and then promptly negated it by eating pancakes. Oh well! It has started raining here...it's the leading edge of Hurricane Irene. The worst is supposed to hit tonight or early tomorrow, or so that's what they are saying right now. I expect the power to go out, so we'll see how long it lasts.…

Pam--May you have the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, the courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom... to hide the bodies when you get really ticked off!! :wink: Sorry you are having family drama--that stinks. And it is tough when hubby just isn't on the same page with it. Grrrr. Just…

Jalara--so glad the trip was fun--i was thinking about you lots! I really had never thought about what life would be like without JCPenny...love that place too! They are closing the JCPenny Outlet near my house soon...I'm so sad. Alisa--SO EXCITED FOR YOU!! Yay! And yay for gallbladder surgery so he gets to stay home! (I…

Pantera--sorry about the teeth. I had them completely knock me out when I got mine out, and I was on percocet for almost a week. (My family said I was very funny on Percocet.) But, other than not sleeping for 2 days after stopping the percocet, I was fine after that. I hope it just gets better for you! Yesterday I logged…

Hi all--just got back from a family reunion at a State Park. My little extrovert of a son was in heaven the whole time. He had about 30 cousins and various relatives just smitten with him and playing and talking with him. So much more fun than just staying at home with mommy. And it was a lot of fun for hubby and I too,…

I did that for a while. Don't set yourself up though--it's not chocolate. Or a great substitute. Also, just remember, they are like, 30 calories or something each, so you gotta log it. So I tried them, and then decided that I'd rather have the 30 calories to eat some other way and went back to a pill. I still have some and…

So I had one little progesterone suppository left from my prescription. I took it out side and smashed it with a hammer. Necessary? No. Cathartic? Totally. :smile: Today I'm reminded of a quote that I picked up from a client of mine once upon a time. "It's not how fast you run or how high you jump, it's how well you…

Hey all-- BFN. Totally. Gambled and the house won. Back to square one. I don't think we will fit a treatment cycle in this month--because of vacation times we might not be able to get to all the "appointments". I go back and forth between feeling numb, feeling okay, and feeling like I have a 50 lb weight sitting on my…

Alisa--so glad you got to "talk" with your hubby. Having it all out in the open and on the table makes everything better, I think. And hubby friends are the best. Jalara-I'm not officially joining the shred group, but maybe informally I'll try to keep up. That thing kicks my butt. I guess I need some new motivation. AFM:…

I'm supposed to go in on Monday for my beta test, so I gotta make it through the weekend, and if I haven't started my period by then, then we'll see! I'm so glad the weekend is here--so much easier to be distracted with my hubby and little boy both around. Jalara--way to go on the turbojam stuffs! That's awesome! I thought…

Hi all--I was up .6 this week, but I should consider that a win, the way I've been feeling and eating. This progesterone is driving me nutsies. Literally. I had a breakthrough yesterday when I realized that one of the side effects can be depression. I was like "AHA!! I'm not going crazy!" I've just been feeling so down.…
