Michellej, we are all in this together girl. I don't know. We were all on a roll and then 2005 came along and put a wrench in it. We'll get back to it. .....I hope.......ok, no we WILL!

I noticed my clothes are fitting tighter even though my weight hasn't changed. I don't know if it's a PMS thing, or if I just lost what little bit of tone I'd attained through exercise. Since I refuse to buy a larger size of clothes again now that I've packed up my old ones and donated them to charity, I really have no choice but to get on track, right? :)

Hey Mel and Chelle,
My clothes are all tight too and I already gave away my bigger stuff. I also refuse to buy bigger clothes. I'm either going to be stuffed in my jeans like a sausage or make the effort and lose the weight AGAIN and feel comfortable. My sisters' are both doing pilates now. I tried it and I'm not sure how much I can do with it. My back has problems all its own. Maybe pilates would help. WHo knows. I did get the new Walk away the pounds: Walk and Jog dvd. I'm going to try that out tomorrow...hopefully.

~chris

I've bought a couple of pilates DVDs, but I haven't tried them yet. I haven't done much working out at all lately, for that matter :(

newbie here
 

Hi-

I'm new here and would love to join your group...I was invited by Chrily. I'm a SAHM too and could definitely use all the support there is (as well as give).

I'm doing WW and I really like it (compared to other "diets"). But, this is my second time around with WW. I explained to Chrily that I did it before and then hit a dry spell (after losing 35 pounds). I basically gave up, returned to my old ways and pretty much my old weight. So, I've promised myself to lose the weight this year. I am on my 4th week now and have lost 5 lbs.

As far as the family goes, I have 3 children (12, 4 and 1). I love being home with them and usually have no problem with eating at home, it's just when we eat out which is usually 2 times a week.

Well, I better go now...getting time for bed. The little one has been getting up quite early lately.

Hello everyone,
Sorry I have been away Hubby has been on vaction and I havent been on that much. Bad news is I have gained some weight. I am back at it again though. It is hard to eat healthy when you have cook outs and stuff. Food to tempting..
I got a pool so i am getting allot of exercise in it and I love that. Seems like everyone is doing very well.
Hello to all the new ones here. Nice place here.
Well I am off to bed have a good night.

Hi, everyone... been doing lots of work for my business and not much working out. On the plus side, I've been so busy that I haven't been snacking so I'm at the bottom end of the 2-3 pounds I keep fluctuating. :lol:

Oh, welcome, Bridget. I swear I'm not normally rude enough to ignore people. I just have a 7 year old talking in my ear while I post who is distracting me :)

Hello everyone! Sorry for being MIA but I have been busy with the kids since they are home from school since June 6th! My oldest made her confirmation on May 15th, then 2 weeks later she turned 14, 5 days later she graduated 8th grade and on Tuesday my baby will be 3!! I have been eating alot but still loosing.....thank goodness...If I know I'm gonna have a few beers I play in the pool with the kids for a few hours each afternoon.....therefore I have had lots of beers! LOL

I hope everyone is doing well, I'll check in again soon.

Afternoon all.

Hi Bridget, glad to see you made it to this thread. My girls are almost the same ages. I have one almost 12, a 6 yr old, and a 2 1/2 yr old. I told ya we could be almost twins.

Hey Chrissy-Glad to see a post from you too. I've been busy with the kids too and helping prepare for a garage sale next weekend. We did make it to the park today.

Hey Chelle-Don't you just hate working? :s: Are you making jewlery or is work from one of your other many millions of things you do? You are one busy gal!

Jessica-Glad to see you back too. How's that pool treating ya? We had one and sold it because or previous yard was so unlevel. Now we have our own house with a fairly level yard, and I'm wishing we still had it. It would feel so good around here today.

Well to all of you. It's been a busy but fun day. My sister and I took our kids to the wading pool at the park and a picnic. I didn't even get anything fattening. I ate the fruit bowl from McD's. I didn't even get the yogurt part of it. My littlest stole it from me and dunked her french fries in it. :?: What's up with that? But I guess on the plus side , I still have 11.5 pts to use up for the rest of the day and I haven't even excercised yet. Anyhow, Then we came home and I've been working on laundry and basking in the sun outside for the last little bit (no, not in bathing suit). I'm not quite that brave yet. It's one thing to be heavy in a swimsuit and quite another when your as white as white can get and heavy in a swimsuit. What a visual huh?

Gotta play a game of literati before dh gets home and he tells me that all I do is play on the computer all day. Check back this evening.

~chris

I'm just doing a quick drive by since I need to do a serious hunt through the boxes I haven't unpacked yet. I need to find my Beetle restoration manual since a replacement copy is $100+ :o

Chris- I'm doing a website redesign for my jewelry site. Well, I came up with the idea, and then my husband just disregards what I say and changes it. :lol: Hopefully that will be up and running in a week or so.

Chelle-Men! ;) They're always changing something. Mine is just disorganized and forgetful and doesn't like to hear my ideas...then when he comes up with the very same idea, he tells me it sounds better coming form him. :lol:

Oh well...I did a bad thing today. I ate at Arby's for lunch. The Wrap was an okay choice. It was the darn fries I should have said no to.

~chris

Whenever my hubby tells me the same idea I mentioned to him before, I just say "hmmm... that sounds familiar." :) The thing that cracks me up the most is when I suggest something, he always asks other people who tell him the same thing I did, and then he comes back to me to tell me that "oh so and so said we should get this." I always tell him that person is obviously smart since they agreed with what I already said :D

Morning all!

I'm getting ready to go to my sister's again to set up some more stuff for our garage sale. We have too much crap! After my little "mistake" with Arby's yesterday, I am on track so far today. I've had my cereal and I've been drinking water like crazy. Of course I've been busy since 6:30 this a.m. My brother was out a babysitter this week since his wife is out of town for some required seminars she has to attend for being a teacher. He doesn't have to do them this year I guess. Anyhow, he works in the summer for a landscaping business and they start EARLY!

Not much happening today. I"m going to get my walking in tonight at the college while Kayla takes her swim lessons. I'm going to finish her lessons up at the end of June and then have her go back after school resumes. That pool is too hot and humid and miserable in the summer. It's indoors and the humidity level is outrageous.

Hope to see some more postings soon....
