Hi!
No way I am going to keep up with all the posts........hi to everyone!
Ginny

Hi, Crystal! Actually, a swap sounds like a good idea. I have a bunch of onesies and stuff that was wrong size/wrong season and stuff like that.

Hi, Ginny!

Hello again,
Spryng, I know we need to get together in Joplin one day.We also could talk more online since I have yahoo. I see you on there sometimes,and I don't want to interupt whatever it is your doing.
Geri, My brother and SIL were in Wisconsin over the holiday weekend. I am not sure where they went though.
Hi, Ginny,
Crystal, I think a swap sounds like a good idea.
Cindi, I did get in exercise today, and I am going bike riding after dh gets home. I always feel guilty if I don't do some sort of exercise.
My diet plan is called Michi's ladder, and there are four tiers to it. The top two are the best ones with all the fruit and veges, and the healthy stuff. The third tier is food to eat in moderation, and the bottom one is foods your suppossed to stay away from. Notice I said suppossed to. I hope it works. Maybe it will get me off my plateau. Have a good afternoon.

Just wanted to stop in and say hi once again..... LOL

I am off to karate and will definitely be back tonight......

Ya know me..... I'm addicted :) Have a great evening

Spryng, LMK if he will be 12months in fall. I believe I have some stuff for fall 12 and 18m
Penny, I have a few size 6 things. I will take a look and send you a pic.

Leigh, I have some summer stuff 18 month short alls, 2 shirts and 2 onesie shirts that are nice.

I am happy to give the stuff to anyone who needs it. Who ever wants, can just send me the shipping.

Hello again!

Dinner was leftovers tonight. I wanted to cook but I have so many leftovers that needed to be eaten before they go bad. So I had leftover lemon chicken with rice and had a big sweet potato to round it out. Very filling. The kids wanted cereal! LOL... I'm sure they will be snacking again soon. Cereal never fills anyone up.

Melissa, no Tanner probably won't be in 12 months come this fall, probably into 18 month stuff. He is small for his age but not too small.

Penny, how has day 2 been going for you? I hope you are enjoying your new plan. I'm enjoying hearing about it from you.

Ricci, if you ever see me online feel free to drop me a couple of lines, I'm never doing anything important, lol... I mean I don't work! LOL. And that is why I have yahoo so you all can "talk" to me whenever you see I'm here. Ok? And I hope we can make definite plans someday soon to meet in Joplin, it would be fun. We could meet for lunch or something and walk the mall or whatever. I'll even get rid of the kids for you! ;) What foods are you suppose to stay away from? I hope it breaks your plateau too... sometimes all we need is a change. I never told anyone how I actually broke my plateau... I guess I was afraid someone would talk me out of it or think it was awful. I bought a bottle of hydroxycut (the caffeine free one) and took it until it was gone, which was about 8 days and during that 8 days my stall broke and I lost weight and it's been coming off since again. I think my body just needed a little extra push for my metabolism just to jump start it. But I won't take it again unless I feel I need to but it was just for that week, I was experimenting. So there... it's out! LOL.

Ginny, I'm sorry these threads grow like wildfire and are hard to keep up with but don't feel discouraged! Just pop in and let us know how you are doing! Is your ww meeting tonight? If so I hope you have a great WI and I can't wait to hear what the meeting is about. :)

Leigh, what crystal said about the 8 oz glasses of water is right but on ww you can only count half the water you drink when it's crystal light or whatever... so keep that in mind. Some people will drink 64 oz of crystal light thinking they are getting all their water in but that isn't accepted on ww for some reason, you could only count 32oz of that in your daily amount.

Geri, how is potty training going? Just don't give up! Consistancy is the key. Are you training him standing up or sitting? I found it easier to train Bubba sitting down, he liked it better and then eventually learned how to do it standing up even though he still sits the majority of the time (which is fine with me because that means less mess, lol)

Well, I guess I'll hope off here and get something done. TTYL!

Good evening!

I escaped. Dh just got home from work and had something to eat. Tony just went to bed so I left the boys upstairs so I could be alone for awhile. They were pretty good all day until about 6ish then started getting on my nerves. According to the calendar, TOM is due this weekend so that figures :lol: . I sense that I'm getting short tempered.

Spryng, don't worry about the hydroxycut. I don't advocate those things, but hey...what ever works! I have read many times that the pills work for the short term but over the long haul become more like placebo's. If that's what it takes to get off of your plateau that's wonderful! I'll try it someday when it happens to me. My problem at this particular moment is not eating as healthy as I should be...but better than I have been lately. So glad you're getting to see Dh early :D . I have to remember to download yahoo messenger and then figure out how to use it! Maybe when I get off of here.
Sorry about your relationship with your folks. Maybe it can be resolved some day...maybe not. As long as you're at peace with yourself...that's what counts. ;)

Hi Mel! Hi Penny! Hi Ginny!

Crystal, I like the swap idea. You never know what you may want or need. Glad you're feeling better.

Leigh, congrats on the exercise!

Di...you out there?? Hope everything's going OK! Did you ever tell us when your trip with your sister would be?

Hope everyone else is good out there. I'm off to find something to do for me. :D TTYL!

Spryng, he sits facing the toilet...kind of funny looking. But he didn't go in the potty today. I told him we'd try again tomorrow morning. He liked pulling up his own pants though. That's the first part. :)

Ok, Spryng I will only put aside 12 mo summer aside and I'll split the Fall stuff 18m between you and Leigh.

Penny, 2 things: I made a stuffed crust pizza tonight. Not your receipe exactly. I make pizza all the time, but never stuffed. So, I stuffed it with Orange peppers, onions, a tiny bit of pepperoni, fresh tomato and some low fat mozzerella. I folded over like you said and immediatly put the sauce on. We all loved it!!! Also, I have 4 1/2EW Stride rite, 5.5M NIke and 6M Stride Rite and size 6 Childrens place.

Well, no exercise for me tonight and although I painfully stayed away from any junk food, I ate too much PIzza. That is my problem. I like it..I eat it. Any suggestions on how to stop that? I drink probably close to a gallon of water a day and used to drink more. I think it stretched my stomach and now I fill it with food.

BTW, I started telling how I gained a large portion of weight when my message went poof. In brief, after Bugs was born, I went through an anxiety/mild depression, the DR convinced me to go on PAXIL. This was a big mistake, not only did it put 37lbs on my in 3 months time, but when I weaned off this junk, It through me into a major depression for no reason. I have only felt better since mid April. So, all this nonesense took a year away from me. As if it wasn't hard enough trying to lose weight after having a baby now I have to lose that plus 37lbs. Ughhh!!!

Good night all. I just got back from taking abigial to the church for MOVIE night. She liked it, but I'm not sure she understood it. The movie was Brother Bear.

Ok Ladies I don't have much time. Hubby is waiting on me... LOL

But I did want to address Spryng with the hydrocut......

Well,
I never said anything to anyone but Michelle, because like Spryng I didn't want anyone to look down on me. I went to the dr. in May and got put on some prescription diet meds. Well I took them about three days and then forget them for a couple days and was still doing great on plan. I have only taken them a couple times since then when I didn't have any willpower. But I have decided that I have to do this on my own and I have been.

Ok Spryng ALL OUR GUILT IS GONE........ LOL

I know you had been struggling for a while with the plateau and I think what you did was fine! I am with you...... I think you might have needed an extra boost! And you did it! :)

Oh BTW,
Mel.......

I could really use the shoes.... Yay!

Please let me know how much you want for them and how much shipping is! I will be glad to buy them from you and send it through paypal :)

Thanks for the offer!

I will see what else I have for anyone else!

Gonna start a new thread!

SEE YA AT STAY AT HOME MOMS #210
