Hi girls!!! The inlaws have me running......just popping in. Is it rude to be on here more than 5 times a day?....hahaha...

Angie....My heart goes out to you!!! Getting pg can be sooo difficult and so much of an emotional roller coaster. When we made the decision to try, it was so easy. BAM!! we were pregnant. After he was 2.5yo.....dh didn't really want another but I persisited. Then I was pg, but also miscarried but it was very very early (6 wks). Then we started trying again for (ds#2) and it took forever. It got to be very mechanical and very surreal (if you know what I mean) .....we didn't see a specialist or anything, but I was charting my temps and obsessing about it all. THEN....we stopped trying so hard and took a holiday......AND BAM!!! we got pg again. (I love hotel sex I guess....haha) Just know that you are doing so well with your weight and your doctor(s) have faith in you and dh. Hunter is such a loved little boy!!!

Well my visit with the in-laws is going well....onto Day 2 today. And we haven't had any food issues yet. Yesterday we went to Whole Foods, a smancy fancy organic food store and she bought all sorts, then last night we ate out. Tonight for dinner is going to be rack of lamb. Of course, I'll have to do hers in a seperate pan and start it much earlier as she likes it ultra cooked well done but thats okay. I went to the gym yesterday for a 3.5 mile run.... hehe...still can't believe I can do that. When they arrived, my FIL (I was shocked) noticed my weight loss almost immediately (and he went on and on)....to which my MIL only said, 'good job dear'. hmmp, apparently its not as a 'big deal' as when her daughter lost 30 lbs and she couldn't shut up about it ......okay angel.....DEEP CLEANSING BREATHS!!!!

Last night I went off plan and had one to many choc. covered cookies.....WHY OH WHY DO I DO THIS? Today is another day...."nono" no cookies!!! Everyone hang in there!!! In case I don't get back on the puter.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

cryket i just wanted to tell you that you are doing great keep it up girl

angel eyes thanks for the kind words about trying for another baby my dilema is dh is fine his swimmers are great I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome and then to top it off my uterus is deformed i have a cross between a bicornate and a septate uterus so its like i have a divider in the center of my uterus so babies dont have alot of room to grow with alot of bed rest and having my cervix stitched is how my son got here and he was still 2 weeks early which was alot better than what i would of had him at which was 26 weeks. I wish wish wish it was a matter of relaxing and getting pg but, i have a few things stacked against me its so hard but, hopefully with this weight loss the pcos will be better and then if i get pg i can get the progesterone quick enough. I'm sorry for your loss also i know how painful and devistating that is.

well since this post is supposed to be about our great goals of weight loss i'm not going to mention anything else about pg stuff well unless i get a bfp so girls lets make our new years resolutions and stick to them

I am going to lose this last 35 pounds that is my goal drink my water and make sure i write everything down that goes in my mouth.

Heres to hoping this year will be a better year i have my weigh in on tuesday i know i didnt do the greatest fell off the track the other night and for me i screw up once and i really pay on the scale have always been like that if i go off the beaten path just a little bit my weight really shows it rather quickly part of that pcos crap.

so happy new years girls hope you all had a very wonderful holiday with your families

angie

Last night was a blast!!....literally!!!....we bought a whole bunch of fireworks and set them off around 10pm. My inlaws are visiting and we thought rather than do what we do every year....(sit around and watch tv, they fall asleep and be bored all night) I cooked a wonderful rack of lamb dinner, did the fireworks and then lit a huge bonfire in the backyard. The boys roasted marshmallows and we had a great time. They still fell asleep mind you, but it was okay.(they woke up at 11:50, just in time for the ball to fall in NYork) I did much better NOT snacking on sweets and also for today. Can't wait to get all this stuff out of the house!!!

We've been shopping shopping and more shopping. Popped into Old Navy and couldn't believe the deals. I got 5 pr of jeans for the boys and only spent $38 !!!! Then I bought another winter jacket (a cool one since my ds won't wear the other one cause it isn't cool) and thought at $24 I was getting a great bargain from $60 but it rung up at $16. !!!! I LOVE SHOPPING SALES!!!! So I spent less money and now there will be NO FIGHTING him to wear his jacket. Puffy jackets aren't cool....who knew? lol Hope everyone is doing well or as well as can be......HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

PS....It must take her a few days to warm up.....she was gushing today about how great I look for losing almost 30 lbs!!! So unlike her, but GUSHING IS GOOD!!!! I take back what I said earlier.

glad you are enjoying the visit sounds like you guys had a great time last night. doesnt it feel so great when someone notices your weight loss your doing great we are on our way to be great looking chics for 2006 well we are already great looking just going to be even better dh told me the other night we were cuddled up asked me when i grew a tail bone. lol not as much padding there as there used to be i remember his first compliment and if you knew my hubby you would know this is a compliment he said atleast your head doesnt look like a balloon anymore nice huh but, that is his way. well i need to start some dinner. y'all have a great night

angel eyes that was such a great deal at old navy i love hitting good bargains like that

Angie I know what you mean. I feel like a big balloon. Im up 5 more lbs this week. I just cant get into it. I dont know what is wrong with me. I dont enjoy being fat, so why cant I quit making poor decisions. I just feel so depressed today because I am so mad at myself. After seeing a 5lb gain you would think that would keep you into gear, Oh no, I came home and ate. I think I have some soul searching to do tonight to figure out why I keep doing this to myself.

Hello Everyone~ I weighed in tonight~ I lost 1/2 pound so now my total is 14 pounds lost. I am still doing my treadmill and have also started walking downtown every other night for 30 mins.

I wish everyone good luck and thank you for the support

The gym opened back up today and I was there bright eyed and bushy tailed!! YEAH!!! Although I didn't do my weight training, I did run for 40 min on the treadmill and did almost 200 situps!!! BOOYAAAA We were heading out earllier than usual to see some museums and city sites. Food choices have been good so no worry there. Hope everyone had a great New Years celebration.

Akiss.....Hang in there GF!! Just start!! Get one good meal under your belt and then hope for another OP meal. Before you know it, day #1 will be put to bed and then work on day #2. Slow and steady baby steps.....you can do this but the key to stopping a slide is to stop it before it snowballs into a major slide. COME ON!!!

Cryket.....WTG!!! Losing 1/2 lb during the holidays is awesome!!! What a great way to kick off the new year!!

Thanks Angel, I did end last night with a good meal. I had a 4oz grilled steak a huge salad and 1/2 a potato w/1/4c ff sour cream. I didnt get all of my water in, but there's always today. Im feeling much better and I know the only way to see a loss is by staying on plan. I dont know if there was a glitch in my scale or if it was water weight, because when I weighed myself again this morning it was 211. 2lbs is a lot better than 5lbs. Any ideas on that one? Im not changing my ticker though until Monday on my next weigh in.

So here's to an OP day for everyone including myself!!!!!!!!!

angel-eyes and huntersmommy thank you for the kind words.

I wish everyone luck ~ We can do this girls

anna girl big hugs to you. I know how frustrating it is I also know how hard it is to pick yourself up and keep going after you have had somthing you really shouldnt of had. just keep going girl you can do this we are here for you.
