Okay don't fall off you seats. Yes it is me. I am still around. I have been lurking lately and just haven't posted much.
Those 7 lbs that I lost the last time I was here, well they all came back. I am again trying this journey. Have new exercise tapes (Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds) and alternating that and my treadmill, so hopefully I will see something move.
All my kids are getting big and still having fun staying at home with them. Some days though I wish I was working.
I hope some of the oldies (like me) are still around.
Well I should get off this dang computer and get my exercise video in before the kiddies wake up.
I have been sick all week, double ear infection and most likely strep throat the docs said. On meds and resting, but feeling just horrible. BUT the good news is, for the 1st time in most likely my life, I have not used the excuse of being ill to eat. I have stayed OP all week. AND..I peeked at the scale a day early this morning, and am down 2 lbs!!! I was so estatic!!
28 more lbs to get back to where I was and 51 lbs to my ultimate goal. I really feel confident and determined again.
Not much else going on in my life right now. Getting excited about my trip to California. I have to go shopping this weekend to find a dress for my niece for her baptism. Maybe I'll find something cute for me too.
I just thought I would pop in. I am doing good. I am getting so anxious to have this baby. 2 weeks and 4 days till the due date. I am starting to dialate and am having a baby shower on March 9th. I am doing great now that all the infections are gone. I get really tired fast though. I guess soon I will be holding a beautiful baby. Well everyone I must get back to work. I will try and post more later in the day at home.
It's so great to be here, to share in the successes of others, and to be able to help others out of holes.. I know I too will need that help at some point!
Jenniffer- Thanks so much for the info! I looked everywhere for how to do it, but missed it somehow!!!
Sam- Welcome back! I'm new here, but glad to meet you!!
Icewoman = Wow its almost time!! I'll be praying that you and your baby are healthy!! Good luck to you!!
Hello!! Happy Thursday. Well it's happy for me. Today is my 4th day OP. I've been following my points, drinking my water AND exercising. I haven't been this on track or this clear headed in months!! Hopefully I will report an awesome loss on Monday. I peeked this morning, but I won't tell!
Sam - Welcome Back!!! I have heard great things about those tapes!! Your kids are adorable!! Don't feel bad about the 7 lbs., I gained 12 over the holidays. Sounds like your back on your way!!
Jennifer - When are you going to California? Congratulations on doing doing so well this week. Feel better soon!!
Tamara - Ohhhhh, your sooo close. How exciting!! Hang in there, your almost done!!
Beth Anne - Haven't had a chance to welcome you yet! WELCOME!!
It's been a few days since I last posted, but things are going well right now with my weight loss efforts. I've lost 10 pounds since starting Slim Fast so things are going in the right direction.
Jenniffer - glad to hear you are back on track and getting results. It feels great to get positive results. Sorry you've been sick - I've managed to avoid it, even though everyone around me has had some kind of crud. I better knock on wood.
We have had such a great winter and my tulips and daffodils starting coming up a couple weeks ago. There are about 4 inches of leaves sticking up out of the dirt and now we are getting cold temps and snow. I wonder if they will still bloom or if they are "done for" for this year.
Everyone keep up your efforts and shed those pounds! We can all do it.
Happy Friday! Still sick as a dog but happy the week is over, and I managed to lose 2 lbs! Woohoo!!
DNR..10 lbs..that is wonderful!!
JacobsMommy..Hi!! I am going to Cali on March 13th and returning a week later. I am very excited. Think the get away will do me some good and I get to see my lil sister and neice. I can't wait, she's getting so big already!
Well it's Friday and I am looking froward to the weekend. Not doing too much, I have a baby shower on Sunday, but that's it.
I am on day 5 OP. Pretty exciting for me! I can't wait to weigh in on Monday. I am hoping that the weigh in will keep the evil weekend monster at bay!! Weekends are always my toughest time!

Happy Monday everyone! Yeah right! Monday already, but had a nice weekend and found out I lost an additonal 3 lbs..making a total of 5 lbs for last week! Woohoo!!!! Lost 7 lbs of my regained lbs so far and feeling ver confident.
Won't be at my 199 goal for California next week but still feeling really good. Still battling this really bad sinus infection, but starting to feel a little better.
I had a perfect OP weekend!! Today is my 8th day OP. This is truely amazing for me. I even had a baby shower on Sunday and I just planned accordingly and I managed to stay within my points. Thanks goodness for oatmeal (only 2 points!!!) I have been drinking 126 oz of water and exercising every day. Who is this woman who has invaded my body????
