T- How did the day go? You can do 10 lbs you just have to buckle down!! We are going to do this!!

[bgbrwnys101]

Hey T
TOM arrived this morning and I am having wicked cramps!! I can't handle this!! Last month was my first period after 18 months (preganancy and nursing) I didn't have any cramps or weight gain but today I was up on the scale and I have the cramps!! Will the weight go back down? I am freaked out and afraid to eat anything!! This is awful!! TOM is not good for morale!!

You sound like you had anactive day yesterday!! I barely moved my butt off the couch!!! Today I will work out when the cramps stop!!

Good for you stayinmg on plan!! I hope to get to 198 by march 1st!

[bgbrwnys101]

2b2 you just stopped nursing? yes, I think I remember the cramps were pretty bad the first couple of months. try milk, it helps.
198 is totally doable!!!
today I am making it to the gym, talked to dh and he will come straight home, gym closes at 4 on sundays!
I am on vacation this week and have a plan to get my 2nd floor cleaned(its horrible up there) by doing some every day tue, wed, thur and those days I will spend extra time at the gym and some time at the college getting homework done.
Friday is my day to drop my son off at school, hit the gym and relaz for a couple hours of uninterupted reading!!!!!

Hi ladies!

Weekend went okay...today not so good. Didn't track. Thats my down fall after the weekend...getting back into the habit of tracking everything again.

T~have fun while on vacation. Dd had a school day off so we went to see a movie. Good luck getting upstairs cleaned...I have an extra room thats supposed to be the computer room but it's more the dump everything so we don't have to look at it room

B~ How are the cramps? I hope they are better. Are you in onederland yet?

[2beautiful2Bfat]

I haven't stopped nursing but I am on a bit of a reduced schedule about 1 or 2 times a day. I hate milk so forget that idea!! But yesterday the cramps were okay. Just day 1 was really bad.
Tara Sounds like you have a good week ahead!! I also plan to get some major cleaning done this week. I'm cleaning out my dump room today...I hope everytime I say that it doesn't get done!! (I have the exact same room as you Lorra!! Maybe we should put our scales int here and close the door forever!!

Okay this week I am totally dpressed. I got my period on sunday and seemed to gain 3 lbs with it!!! yesterday I was still up and today I am down a lb but do you think this is from my period or did I somehow gian? I am so scared!! So at this point I am not near onderland and I am wondering if this is going to happen to me every month because if so I will lose a week of weight loss each month!!!

L- I also haven't been tracking as much as I should. I really want to start using my fitday for everything. I think I will start today and will do it religously until I hit onderland. I have to see what is going on!

[Losing4another]

B~ It's from your period. If you haven't had one in that long that has to be what it's from. I wouldn't worry about gaining that much each time since you will get them closer together next time. Best thing to do is TRY to put the scale away during that time of the month. It's hard I know but it's mostly from the extra fluid in your body so don't believe that scale until miss period has packed her bags and gone

great idea...everything else in there never gets used again. The Monday and tuesday following the weekend Dh is home is when I have the most to clean. Since Dh has been living in a hotel room hes lost his manners and just throws everything everywhere waiting for the maid to pick it up I guess You know how long it's going to take me to get him back to how I've trained himv I don't want to think about it

You know what our goal should be instead of pounds gone....we should make a goal of tracking ...No days off of tracking until we hit ____ amount of pounds. Yea good idea No days off from tracking until I'm out of the 230's.....We can do this

[2beautiful2Bfat]

I had a period 30 days ago and that was my first after 18 months and this one is my second. Are you sure the weight is from my period? 3 lbs!!!!! Is that possible? will it go away? Will I lose this week or just maintain?

L- I think with DH you have to keep him in lin when he coems home otherwse you are going to have abig job on your hands when this contract is over!! Men are so strange!! Recently DH started leaving his dishes on the counter on top of the dishwasher instead of just putting them in!!! I nipped that in the bud and now he is back to normal but those few days drove me crazy!!

I'm in for the tracking challenge!! I'm going to track until I get to onderland!

[Losing4another]

If it's water weight it will go away when your period does. It's not unheard of for women to gain sometimes 5 pounds or more with that time of the month. I wouldn't worry unless it's still there when it's over.

I tracked yesterday and glad I did cause when I looked up a sandwich that I THOUGHT would be low in points turned out to be 19 points If I wouldn't have tracked that right I would have gained and been mad since I thought it was a good choice. Good thing I gave half to my daughter or I would of had a gain for sure. I just made up for it by eating a low point dinner.

As for Dh as soon as he gets home he flops all his dirty clothes from the week right in front of the front door All his bags and stuff go a few feet from that. At first I didn't mind as much... I would just pick it up as with anything else that lands on the floor around here but now it's pissing me off ... it's not just that anymore now he leaves everything all over the house. Cans of soda on the night stand dirty clothes from while hes here on the bathroom or bedroom floor. I slack on cleaning during the weekend to spend more time with Dh and DD but come Monday morning this house is just awful. I spend most of Monday and some of tuesday getting caught back up on everything that was thrown about...It never used to take that long when Dh knew how to clean up after himself....I will have a talk with him this weekend... if that doesn't work i will just have to be on guard duty on the weekends too. Will just have to nag nag nag....See men bring that on themselves if we don't nag nothing gets done

[2beautiful2Bfat]

L- I was so depressed yesterday and this morning...I still feel bloated. i wasn't even going to come online today1! But then I weighed myself and it said 200!!!!! I am so excited!! I am back on track now!! I hope I can drop a lb today!!

sorry about the sandwich!! That has happened to me a few times usually in both directions!! Like my portobello mushrooms only have 50 calories!! And I eat them as a lunch!!

good luck with DH. I definitely think you have to nip this in the bud!!

[bgbrwnys101]

2b2 glad you are down!!!!!!
Lorra I used to do that all the time on WW it drove me crazy!! Can you use your flex for the extra points???
212.1 this am!!!! I skipped the treadmill yesterday, did the sauna and the pool for 50 minutes, yesterdays head cold and fever are holding there own, today the sore throat came to join the party!! I feel less like my head will explode though so I may do the treadmill as well as the sauna and pool today!! 9 days to lose another 5 lbs for my March first goal!!!
Tara

[2beautiful2Bfat]

Me too!! I was really losing hope!! Now I am motivated again!1 I have already worked out and did my crunches and it's only 7:30!! Yay me!

T- Terrific loss!! You can do this by march first! I think I may do my leek diet again today to help with thisbloated feeling. Despite what the scale says I still feel bloated! Also I am hoping to lose that pound by tomorrow and hit wonderland early!! depending on my weight tomorrow I may readjust my goals.

[Losing4another]

Okay so I'm 234.4 this morning. Not sure if I will get to 231 by tuesday Might have to push that goal back and try for the 3rd (tuesday meeting) Can't give up though I just started tracking again daily.

[2beautiful2Bfat]

why tuesday? Aren't you going for March 1st? That is not tuesday...I don't have a claendar in front of me but I think tuesday is the 27th.

I am so desperate to hit wonderland I don't know what to do!!

I was going to do my leek thing again but when I went to the store they only had yucky looking ones and they were still expensive so I left them so I had my ornage for breakfast and I"m going to have tuna for lunch.
