Quick hello.

I weighed in at 193.4 yesterday and then up today to 194.5. Went to a bridal shower yesterday and ate cupcakes. Silly me. Smh.

Working from home today, or trying to anyway. Peanut is sick again. We have a doctor appointment at 4pm. I'm sure it's just a common cold virus, but I'd rather have the doctor check him out. He's been congested for a few days now, but yesterday and today all he wants to do is sleep. Little bodies are building immune systems. I suppose it goes with the territory of the first year in daycare. Sigh.

Kukkie cupcakes :drool: Sorry to hear Peanut isn't feeling well. And it is definitely the daycare. They need to constantly clean and disinfect. Hope he feels better soon. :hug:

I'm confused. Why are there 2 June daily weigh-in threads???

Hello everyone! I am a newbie and this is my first day!

I hope to loose 30 pounds and learn how to live a healthier life.

While i type this everything inside me wants a damn cookie haha! But i have to stick to plan to reach my goal!

Starting Weight: 155

Mandy don't be confused :D there are different people on each of them, groups of people with bonds formed. I've started one since I came back, didn't want to join the other one (I think in April there were 3) ... just subscribe to the thread you'd like to join, makes it easier to find :D

sunshine :wel3fc: and the thread :) What are you doing to reach your goal? Good job on saying no to the cookie :high: Check in often, the support on the threads is pretty OP (OnPoint). Good luck to you on your journey :)

Love2b, I do use MFP but I don't use it very religiously. I do use it occasionally to look up calories, sometimes. But yes, definitely, baby steps :)

New here
 

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and not sure how everything works, but I'll try to figure it out as I go. I love the idea of a daily post so I'm starting here. I've lost weight enough times to know what to do, but I am glad to have found a place to get the support of others.

My plan for right now is to eat better and exercise more...brilliant huh? :)

This week and next week are going to be busy weeks in my life so I will start with a small goal of at least 20 minutes of exercise 5 out of the next 7 days. I put stars by those days below so I have a plan and a place to be accountable. I will note afterwards if I accomplished my goal. I'm not going to count calories yet. I'd rather see if I can just make better choices and lose weight. It's worked before.

I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Good Morning, Ladies ;)

No change in weight today. My goal is to maintain this weight loss during my move. I can do it! :D 173.75 lbs and HAPPY!!

Morning everyone!

I'm back down a bit to 193.8. I'm setting a small goal for myself, but it's one I'm determined to achieve. I absolutely must see the 180s by the end of the month. It's been entirely too long since I've seen that number. However, something is happening, I fit into a summer blazer today that I haven't been able to wear in about 4 years. I was so surprised.

Anyway, on the Peanut front. He has slight redness in both ears and throat, start of an infection; caught it at a good time apparently. Antibiotics were prescribed. No fever through the night or this morning, so back to daycare he went. Hubby is at home painting and doing some small fixes, shelving and such. Too hectic over there. So Peanut and I are going to go stay at my mom's for a few days. She's out of town, but my brother is still around for company.

LadyPetite, I use to use it at leisure but I get into trouble that way. It really helps me put things into perspective. Like the one Reese's cup I ate this morning, so not worth the 12 carbs but oh well, I ate it. :)

Sarah glad to have you join us :wel3fc: and to the thread :) I'm glad you have a plan. I wish I could get through my head to do 20-30 minutes of moment a day. I know it will help. I just always think one hour plus on the treadmill or nothing. And that's why I always get stumped. I'm sure you'll have great results on your journey. :)

Olivia, I'm confident you will maintain during your move, have fun :)

Kukkie yay on the blazer, Nice NSV :high: I so see you in the new decade by months end, you can do it :) Well glad to hear Peanut doesn't have a fever, hope the antibiotics kick in soon :hug: You have a great husband. How will Peanut sleep at your Mom's place? Will he sleep with you? Is that gonna make for sleepless nights when you go back home? Just a thought ... I did this five times, but only 2 didn't care if they slept with me or in their own crib/bed or not :)

Mandy I hope you are gonna continue here. I like the smaller threads also, another reason why I start my own thread, small and more personable IMO :)

I'm up .6 to 159.2. I hate these ups and downs but it is what it is. Hopefully I'll get some movement in today and get things moving in the right direction again :)

Thanks Rennie I've received quite a few compliments on the blazer today. It's a nice feeling. Peanut will probably sleep with me; he does have a playpen there as well that he could sleep in, but he's sick. And he typically doesn't do well on his own when he's sick - looks for extra comfort, so he sleeps with me at home during those times anyway. He's usually pretty good about adjusting back quickly, the odd time it takes longer.

Kukkie I sometimes miss those days :) Rissa will sleep with us now if allowed but she is a wiggle worm. Oh my goodness she's every where :) Hope Peanut feels better soon :hug:

Pre-trip weigh in (early, I usually do Fridays) showed 317.6, so down 2 from Friday (that includes 2 restaurant eats!) and a total of 12.4 so far... So, I'm doing something right, I think. :)

Rennie - I'll continue to pop in here occasionally to check in... I just don't think daily weighing is right for me at the moment. :)

Kukkie - Sorry to hear about your kiddo, hope he feels better soon!

Olivia - Congrats on maintaining!

Mandy way to go :high: that means your weekend was OP and you have the upper hand and do well at restaurants. :congrat: on the 12.4 GONE you are definitely doing something right :) It doesn't matter when you weigh in, I think just checking in is what helps the most. And I'm glad to have you here :hug:

Rennie Thanks for the welcome. Just knowing I was going to check back in here gave me the impetus to get my butt outside to mow part of the lawn (exercise AND to do list activity all in one!).

I hope your day was good!
