Thanks guys, it's just so freakin' frustrating that I've been doing so well, then I gain 2 lbs because of poor choices I made

Karen, she's 3! She definitely had a great day, made out like a bandit (a Dora bandit )

Karen, it's Sarah not Susan

Sarah, I had ear infections quite frequently when I was younger as well and just recently a nutritionist told me those were due to lactose intolerance. You may want to check that out, just to see??

Opps!! Thanks Haley for letting me know. Maybe I need to eat more sugar? LOL

My son is lactose intolerant. We've actually known that since he was about 5 weeks old. (Oh god, those first five weeks of him screaming almost all the time he was awake, the gas, the screaming, the pooping, the screaming....)

I also used to get ear infections often, and they think it was due to allergies. My son also has allergies and mild asthma. Any time the pollen count gets high, his sinuses go crazy, and there's another ear infection. He's on a prophylactic dose of antibiotics right now, another month to go. I'd still bet money he's going to end up with tubes, though. He's still got a double ear infection, and minor (reversible) hearing loss.

It could be SO much worse though. I am very thankful that ear infections, allergy annoyances, and mild asthma are all we have to deal with.

Karen - My birthday is August 29th. I will be the ripe old age of 23. My sister was freaking out yesterday because she just turned twenty. It's all a matter of perspective, although I feel like I'm 30 because I've got a son, a husband, and a career.

Too... much... talk... about... kids...! LOL Just kidding. I just feel bad because I can't help out! LOL Mabye some day, right? Some day... far away.. but some day...

Anyways, Haley we are at the same weight right now! LOL 203.5. That's cool.

Hey Celeste, do you have any before/after pics? I mean you have come a long way!

Melanie I hope your son gets better FAST!

Ok sorry. I don't have much else to add... I have to go move my car from the garage because my boyfriend is gonna put together a ping pong table! LOL

Why, yes I do!

This is before--this is an old picture..I was about 10-15 lbs bigger when I started WW's this past Jan:


This is me, 53 lbs down! I still have 15 lbs to go..It's going to take FOREVERRRRR




Have fun with the ping pong table!

Celeste you look awesome!!!!!! I still do not have the courage to take a before pic. I hate having pictures of me at this weight! Celeste WAY TO GO GIRL!

WOW Celeste! You look SO AWESOME! Thanks for sharing those! Such an inspiration! You look really great. You have great legs, too. Especially your calves!

Hey Ladies - Thanks for wishing my son well - he seems to be feeling a bit better, but he's just really low energy w/ a fever still (it's gone down w/ motrin). I just hate to see the poor little guy suffer......it's pretty heart wrenching for us mom's to see them like that. Looking forward to my bright eyed busy little guy again! Needless to say, I am not going to get in my exercise today - that's the way it goes with a baby though!

Karen - My little one is a year and a half - how old are yours??

Celeste - I second what Nicki said about your legs - so cute and strong You are really doing wonderfully, thanks for being such an example to look up to.

Nicki and Haley - That's great you gals are almost to "onederland" - keep it up girlies!

Haley - If I could I would gladly share some of my excess w/ you - LOL! You are too funny girl - you crack me up, I love it!

Sarah - That alfredo sauce sounds delicious - pasta with cream sauce is my weakness by far - LOL! Maybe if you get a chance you could post the cooking light recipe?

Oh yeah - it's about due time for another picture sharing session! I will start w/ family pics we just got taken about a week ago.


Me & my little man


Sweet Cody


My hubby & baby

Thanks ladies, that really means a lot

Mel, OMG, he's such a sweet boy!!! Can I just say that I'm SO jealous that Cody sat still and took that adorable picture in the chair? Kalynn will NOT sit still for nuttin' And OMG, yeah, I hear ya, it is SO heartwrenching when your poor baby is suffering and we can't stop it.

I have to say that your husband is very good looking!

What a CUTE family Melanie! Your son is ADORABLE!

Celeste - Oh man, those pictures of Cody were capturing seconds or milliseconds of him sitting still -LOL! I think the photographer did the fastest flash speed he had I will have to tell my husband that he got a nice compliment from you - he'll love it

Mel, love the pics what a cute little boy! My little girl is almost 3 in dec. and I have a little boy who will be 8 months soon. Tell me, is there an easy way to post the pic. I would love to show some pics also. How do you do that?

Karen, I use either photobucket, or shutterfly.

With photobucket, you upload the picture and then copy where it says "img"

With Shutterfly, you upload the picture and then I right click, click on copy and then paste on here.

Mel, the recipe has been posted here .
What an adorable family!!!

Celeste - thanks for being an inspiration!

My before pics are all from my wedding. It's totally depressing to me. I can't post them, because they're protected on the site, but you can see them here. Just log in as [email protected]. The worst part is, I was 5-10 pounds thinner THEN! But I am down another pound. Woohoo!
