Thanks guys. Feel free to use any "Jillian" type response, like QUIT CRYING LIKE A BABY AND MOVE IT! I know I'm going, just felt the need to get yelled at today, haha.

Oh yeah, and i've got a headache and a bad attitude!

Whaaaat?? I want your job!

I don't have experience with this personally, so I can't really give advice. You are an incredible mom. I can't imagine what you are going through. Follow your instincts-I have found as a mother, they are usually right.

I'm far from perfect, but I'm making this plan work. I'll be happy to shout things at you as needed for motivation :) It's good that you have real expectations of what getting healthy takes. It's tough, and I have to kick myself in the *kitten* on a daily basis. Some days you eff up, but you just move on. Good luck!

I feel ya. I"ve had a dozen eatn park smiley cookies staring at me in the next cube all week. NO I am not eating you! At least they weren't freshly baked chocolate chip cookies-that smell will kill even the strongest willpower! Watch for bacon to go on sale and stock up! Center cut bacon 3 slices is 70 calories :)

YAAAAAYYY!!!! Congrats! What a roller coaster for the past few weeks! Best of luck for a healthy happy pregnancy. Enjoy every minute of it. Feeling the baby kick is the coolest thing ever. Keep us updated on how you are doing.

That's great you are trying to keep your health on track! I'm a college graduate, and exercise will be a great way to fend off a lot of the stress. Add me for support if you like :smile:

Sure! I'm looking to lose 85 to 100 lbs too. Lost about 30 already on MFP. I see people on this site all the time who've lost over 100 lbs and they're people just like us. It CAN be done! Feel free to add me.

Here are some snacks I find filling and enjoy: 1/2 a whole wheat bagel with light cream cheese Hardboiled egg Thomas light english muffin - with egg, or peanut butter Almonds Vita top chocolate muffins (freezer section) Banana with 1 tbsp peanut butter Kashi waffle and turkey sausage Apple and string cheese

I think gay people should be allowed to get married. They should be able to be as miserable as the rest of us-LOL. Just a silly joke. Seriously, I think it's ridiculous that gay marriage isn't legal everywhere. The lady i work with is strongly against it and this is what she said (I'm not kidding) "Well then, if they can…

From the inside of a fortune cookie...."Don't panic." This was hilarious to me bc I am always freaking out and stressing.

I completely understand. Depression and anxiety for me also. What a nightmare. To make sure it's not something other than depression and meds, I would ask your dr for a checkup (have bloodwork done). They can see if there's anything else going on-thyroid issues, vitamin deficiencies, etc. As PP said, it could also be sleep…

Maybe you can meet some new people through your kids? Do they play sports or other activities? I know what you mean, it's hard to keep up friendships after you get married and have kids. I have 2 good friends that I speak to about every 2 weeks by email and get together about once a month.

:flowerforyou: Welcome! Don't be afraid to search the message boards and ask questions. And as the PP said, take one day at a time.

This thread never gets old! Love it!!!!

Thanks guys! I get a little panicky about restaurant food that has no nutrition info. You never know how many actual calories are going into it. And I normally wouldn't stress so much, but I had a really terrible food week last week and I'm trying to stay on track better this week (2 lb gain-eek!).

Well, go ahead and eat the whole thing. Then reflect on how you feel afterwards. It'll be a good learning experience for you. Then next time you think of doing this, you will remember how terrible you felt and that'll be the end of it.

Welcome! If you are looking for friends, just add me. Happy to help.

I think a kick in the n u t s would be appropriate for him at this time. Then maybe he'll get some kind of clue. Thank goodness you are a great mom and thought ahead to bring him an extra costume. He would've ruined his halloween! Ugh. I'm sorry you are dealing with this. Good thing your child has one great parent who he…

I'm planning on letting her keep a few pieces of candy and then giving her a scooby doo movie in exchange for the rest of the candy. She's 3, so hopefully she'll cooperate for me. Then the candy will be sent to my husband's work or tossed in the trash.

Have you tried testing again at home? I had TOM cramps and was super cranky and thought for sure I wasn't pregnant, but I was! Just had cramps that never turned into anything. Hope it works out for you!

You have fabulous taste! I loooove Common.

OOH I know! Mos Def. But I think he goes by his real name now-he's in Black Star with Talib Kweli. Yummy!

You look beautiful! Great job!

This happened to me in a quiet dr's office waiting room. My baby tooted on my lap and everyone looked at me!

That's how I feel too. I want to run around going "guess who lost 2 lbs this week? This girl!" but I realize not everybody really gives hoot. Good for you! You are on your way!

That's an incredible accomplishment! You should be proud.

Aww thanks guys! :blushing:

Omg this actually happened to me! I got into the drivers seat of a car that looked like mine when dropping my kid off at day are. People tend to leave their doors unlocked. I didn't figure it out until I couldn't get the car to start with my key. Thank god no one saw me!
