bump!

Gretchen - I read back through some of your old posts and you were so inspirational! (not to say that you're not inspirational now!) I'm looking forward to getting you back in on the weekly weigh-in posts so come on back!

Hi everybody! I am such a dork.. I realized that I pretty much made a mistake in my posting. I guess when you have so much stuff going on, you get confused. Here's what I mean by that. I am starting my journey Monday as in TOMORROW Monday.. 9/5, Labor Day etc. etc. etc. I only had my 6 week appt on Wed, so I don't know what I was thinking I could start 2 days before that. I had to talk to my doc about what I can and can't do, what I can and can't eat, how many calories, exercise etc. So NOW, I'm all ready to go. I went through the entire house, got rid of all the junk and replaced it with all my previous staples. I'll tell you though, its sad, I gained all of it back being pregnant. I totally let myself have whatever I wanted. The good news is, I am more excited and motivated than ever, and I know exactly what to do to get back to the bod I had before getting pregnant. It's going to be FUN, Great, Exciting!! I can't wait. First thing tomorrow morning, Jeremy and I weigh in and measure. I saved all my weekly measurements and weigh ins from the last time, It will be interesting to see how I stack up this time opposed to the last. The one thing that we are doing differently this time is we are taking progress pictures at each weigh with the same outfit each week. Jeremy and I carefully selected our clothing for the weekly photos. Not to pretty I'll tell ya, HOWEVER, after I lose is all, I'll post the starting pictures. It's pretty darn shocking. And if you think I am over exaggerating... Think again.. It's bad brothers and sisters! :) All I know is I am TOTALLY READY to go... WOOOOO HOOOOO :)

Oh, I have no doubt you'll do as well as before and I'm really looking forward to seeing those progress pics! ;) Yeah, its sad you gained it all back, but just think, if you'd gotten pregnant before you lost all that weight, can you imagine what you would weigh now? So, I figure you're already way ahead of the game! :D Welcome back!

Boy I've been missing some threads here. Did not see this until today. It is so good to have you back and posting Gretchen. You and Sarah were a big inspiration to me when I got started last year. You both have a lot to offer to people and it will be good to see that back.

I know the weight will start to melt off of you. I also know how hard it is to start over. So just clear your mind of all those mental games and take a deep breath and get back at what you know how to do.

What a cute little man!! I love the baby pictures where you have to prop them up in the corner of the chair or couch!! :lol: Those are my favorites. The one with him sleeping is irresistable!

After my daughter was in the NICU for 6 days - her days and nights were completely turned around! Ugh - it took us a couple of weeks but we got her straightened out. :)

Welcome Back! :)

Welcome back Gretchen. I know you can do this and you sound like you are ready to go.
