First of all...HI!!
I missed you guys and gals! I've been checking in periodically, and trying to stay caught up, but I feel like I've missed so much. I felt like a sham posting since I wasn't even trying to loose ( or maintain, or exercise...or anything else really.) I did maintain my loss though, for the most part, maybe I've gained a couple of pounds. Which to me, seems not too shabby, considering how long its been since I've actually lost anything. I think its been about 9 or 10 months since I lost any, and several months since I participated here.
But.. all that changes tomorrow. Tomorrow is what Im calling D-Day.
Several things are happening tomorrow:
Why am I trying to kill myself tomorrow? Well, I really just want to get it all over with in one fell swoop. Even if I don't loose alot of weight , right now thats OK, because in August, we are going to start trying for baby #2. I want to get my body prepared for pregnancy...a healthy one this time. I'm going to get my prenatal vits from the OB/GYN this week. I'll weigh in the morning and adjust my siggy accordingly.
I really did miss all of you! I'm glad there are so many new "faces" here as well!
Welcome back my dear!!! Glad to see you!!! Good luck with tomorrow!!!
Don't ever feel like you can't post just because you may not be "on plan" right now. We are all here together..good or bad!!! Sometimes when we aren't on plan is when we need to be here the most.
So glad to see you back, Amy Jo ~ always hate to think we may have lost someone! Of course, if you're serious about having a baby, this IS the place to be. I'm very happy to know you're quitting smoking, too! You go girl!!
Hey, welcome back! Gaining, losing, maintaining, and pregnant--you can still post here. And, as Jillegal says, this is the place to be if you want to get pregnant.
Amy Jo, girly girl -- you're back!!! I'm freshly returned myself, after my 6-month visit to Planet Cancer. I'm really glad to see you around these parts -- I've missed you, girl!
Great job on maintaining....I'm sure you'll do beautifully at jumping right back on plan. As for quitting smoking, my partner Lorraine will be on Day 7 of not smoking come Monday. This is after 28 years (she started at 12) of up to 1 1/2 packs a day of Marlboros. If she can do it, anybody can. Smoking is so much a part of how she defines herself and how she relates to people and just behaves in her life, dealing with stress, etc.... She's doing Wellbutrin and the patch. It helps that she learned from a cardiologist that the smoking could kill her -- and it helps also that she learned from my oncologist that her smoking will almost certainly give me lung cancer.
With you planning a pregnancy, you've got a head start on the not smoking thing -- you know it's not going to be a possibility going forward -- so you're already set up for success! Just make sure you don't start up again when the baby's born, ok?
I'm just SO, SO, SOOOOOO happy you're back, Amy Jo!! I was wondering about you -- how you were doing, etc. I just love that you're here.
Its great to have you back....and it sounds like you are ready to hit the road to even more healthiness! I am sure you will make great progress with quitting the ciggies and dropping some more pounds.....and the baby-to-be will thank you for it!
It doesn't sound to me like you will be killing yourself tomorrow - it sounds like it will be the first day of the rest of your life! Planning for a baby in August is such a motivator to make all these positive changes now - I know you can do it!
Amy Jo, it is great to see you back! You did well in maintaining without trying to maintain! How exciting re: baby!! You can quit smoking. I actually lost weight when I quit smoking - replaced smoking with exercise. It was great for the lungs and the heart!
Hi everybody...Im back!
I want to get my body prepared for pregnancy...a healthy one this time. I'm going to get my prenatal vits from the OB/GYN this week. I'll weigh in the morning and adjust my siggy accordingly. 
Of course, if you're serious about having a baby, this IS the place to be. 
I'm very happy to know you're quitting smoking, too! You go girl!!
