Thanks so much, you guys. :) It means alot. I try to just tell myself they all won't be little forever and to enjoy it. I could have gotten healthy before they came along and I didn't. Now they need me and I chose them and owe it to them to give them what they need first. I know the saying about taking care of me first to have me to give to them, but in truth, they must come first when they are little and you have several, at least I feel that way for the moment, and although my husband works for the State in law enforcement we also have our business which makes it possible for me to stay here with them and raise them like we are determined to do. I will definitely make a better grocery list and try to stay on a healthy track. I will always come read, I promise. And will try to post. I am hoping that when TBL starts in Sept, I think?, it will help me too. I love watching people transform. :cp:

Thank you for all your thoughts and kind words. I'm analyzing myself but the truth is, these are the few years that I have small children, they need help with everything they do. And soon I'll have two more. Then in four years all but one will be in school. My husband works from 8am to midnite several days a week so I am the only one with them until the weekend usually. It is hard but worth it and I am going to be happy to maintain for right now and lose slower if at all. My husband has little trips planned all summer, we end up eating out all the time. Grilled chicken cooked 8 different ways and salads can get old. But I promise to try for the best choices there is at a given place.

Have a great weekend and you all take care. :) Going to post my weight now. So sorry for the gain I've found myself to have. (of course I'm not completely surprised but still frustrating. grrrr.) :(

Hugs, Selina :hug:

Hi Blue Team. Wow, there's so much going on in everyone's lives. It takes the keenest kind of concentration to lose weight and I'm not surprised that some of us are not losing or are gaining. Maintaining is great when there's so much on the go. I gained a few pounds over the last few weeks with DS's wedding and all the preparations that go into making a wedding. Sometimes just knowing why the weight isn't coming off is the best we can do. Selina, my hat's off to you. You are truly a dedicated mother to your little brood and good fortune has smiled on two more babies that will soon come into your life. And everyone remember this is Summer Camp where things are laid back and summery. Just being able to post keeps me reminded where I'm at and what I should be doing. So I'm going in the right direction even if I fall off the path now and then I can always crawl back on. (Who wants to stay in the ditch, anyway?) Ha, ha, I've wandered about with my words. Catch you all in the new thread.

Yeah! I finally had a good loss. I had to get very sick to get it but hey, at least there's some benefit to the ick I have. Now I've just got to try and keep from rebounding up when I feel 'normal' again.

Binder - your quote, originally to Selina , so hits home. I think I do it because it feels better to help others. Working on me is work. Its distraction instead of action. I suffer from it too. Congrats on your good loss though!

Yes mam. That can do it. And it took me up about 10 lbs before it came back down to a gain of about 5. (of course I have since added 60 to that, but dropping BC was for sure a gain issue for me.)


Amen sister!

Thanks for the reminder!!! I really needed it to get back here!

I posted a whopping 3 lb gain. No surprize though. Next week will a loss for sure. I have regrouped. am back on track, and going to lose 1lb at a time.

Talk to you all soon.
