Hi guys. I'm new. Finally joined after the scales revealed a 4lb gain this week. *sniff*

Started a gym competition 2 weeks ago and I have done maybe a day a week of exercise and ate like crap!! I don't know whats wrong with me. I sleep CONSTANTLY but I don't feel depressed (well only right before my period everything goes to pot) But normally I am just tired and unmotivated!!
I had blood work done almost a week ago and it still hasn't came back yet...welcome to the west..I swear everything is done the long hard way out here!! GRR...

Anyways I REALLY need to find some motivation and discipline or something soon cause I am down to 2 pairs of jeans that fit THATS IT!!

Ok well just wanted to touch base with everyone!!

Vermont-hope you are doing well!!!

Hey Mom it is good to see you!! :)

I hear ya about the lack of motivation and choices of jeans getting lower, that is not fun is it, grrr.

Hey everyone!

I've been all pouty and down from gaining over the holidays, and I've had enough! time to break out of my funk and get back into happy land. I get it - it's cold, no sunlight, and I want to eat everything in sight - but it's time to focus on the positive. Even if I have to make myself smile.

Since my holiday splurge, which grew into a 3-month hiatus from anything healthy, I've been eating later at night. So, tonight I'm going to compromise with my stubborn body and schedule my after-dinner snack for 8pm, rather than immediately after dinner as I've been doing.

Wish me luck! Happy Tuesday (I wish it were Friday, lol)!

Mom you've got 4 kids under 5?? Wowsa!! I'm not surprised you're tired!

Question: Do you feel that having lots of kids helps or hinders your weight loss? (i.e. does it make you more active or do you end up eating junk because it's quick and easy?)

I've got 2 under 3 and I'm knackered lol.

Hey Mom, I think your tired from the 4 under 5. lol I have a 13 year old and 5 year old, and I am exhausted with them. LOL
Well daughter got over her flu and the 13 year old son got it. Got him over it and last night daughter calls for mommy at 3 am. 102.4 fever and we were up for 2 hours. Then she wakes up with caked on snot face. REALLY?

Girls I had the most horrendous day Friday, and actually kind of kept my cool. First a bolt found its way in my tire and it blew while driving. Then we couldn't find the spare, its in the middle under my van. I come home and make some bread and new container of eggs all over my kitchen floor. So my mom and dad were taking the kids that night and my mom says to go back to bed she doesn't want me driving. lol She came down and got the kids.
So then I go grocery shopping...I walk in the store and the power goes out. Really? All I could do then was laugh.

Oi!! what a day you had!! I'm glad you could only laugh, lol, that's great :carrot:

I called Canadadrugs.com today to renew my generic Wellbutrin prescription. They told me they no longer sell the generic version, due to 'higher standards of purity" or something like that. O-kay..... I just know that it will cost more now :devil: but heck $140 for 3 months' worth of sanity is WORTH IT! :devil:

Just about anything is worth sanity.
