welcome
 

PJ - Thanks. You are so sweet. Sounds like you had one too. So sorry. It's the worst. Did your family understand? Mt husband was so sweet. Everyone else couldn't understand why I was so depressed and heartbroken. Time heals - but I will never ever forget my Caid.

Hello to all. Especially our new additions! So happy to have all here. Shana - What is it about men? They can lose weight so fast! My wonderful hubby can loose ten pounds about as fast as I can eat a twinkie!!! Keep smiling! We all can do this.

take care

Hi!! New here and a SAHM Mommy to two gorgeous girls, Anna and Jillian. I stay home with them all day but do have a small part time job at night when my hubbs is home!! I am ready to make the commitment to exercising more and eating less. I am from AZ and its finally starting to coll off enough that I can take my girlies out on walks during the day!!

Carafre: I missed your intro post earlier! I don't know why my post is time-stamped before yours but is two posts later (at least on my computer), so I never went back to see what I missed. I know I've said this before, but good luck with all your goals, you deserve it, you're a wonderful person. And what do you mean you have no friends? What are we? ha-ha But I know what you mean. Now that I'm older I really don't have that many friends either. Definitely none here where I live, but we're moving back to Atlanta soon where I do have a few friends. I've moved around so much over the years, I always lose touch with people. But I do have a best friend that I take with me wherever I go... my hubby!

Welcome, Shana! Good luck with your weight loss, you'll find a lot of support here. I love your avatar!

Welcome Jenny! Oooh, Arizona. I know Tennessee isn't as hot as your state normally, but I'll bet we gave you a run for your money this summer. Because of the heat, I only walk my son in the evenings. Isn't it a great way to get exercise (walking with the kids, that is)?

Thanks, everyone, for the snack ideas. I think I'll try the pretzels with mustard, and the cheese and even the smoothie (although I'm not sure what flax is and whatever it is, I KNOW I can't find it in this one-horse town!).

PJ: About the cat allergies, when we got up to 6 cats my hubby found out he was allergic. He just dealt with it, took meds once in awhile, and kept the cats out of the bedroom. I think in some cases, you get immune, because he hasn't had a problem in years (and at one point we had 13). Of course, that isn't the case with severe allergies. I'm so glad my son doesn't appear to be allergic, although how could he be? He probably was ingesting cat hair in the womb!

Take care today, ladies!

Cindy

Thank you for the welcome Cynthia!! Yes it is definantly alot easier to walk in the evening. Unfortunantly I work from 5 to midnight, at a pizza resturaunt (I swear it will be the death of me!!) So its hard to walk at night. The hottest it was here was about 115*f. I am originally from Fl so the heat didnt get to me too much!!

oops-
 

everytime i want to post, my litttle one wakes up! everyone is doing such a great job! I'll check in later!
carafre :dizzy:

I did "some" yoga, I haven't really done it before so I started with some easy poses. I hope to get better and better at it. I also did some light exercise got my heart rate up for a little while. I will be taking my wee ones for a walk when they get up from their nap!!

Hi Ladies....just a quickie, do we want to keep posting here and add pages or should we re start a thread every 3 pages or so?? Just let me know or someone else feel free to start a new one. Have a great night ladies! {{HUGS}} PJ

Hello ladies!!

I had my WI today and I must say the Tae-Bo really helped me 2.8 ibs loss!! you all post alot I'm tring to keep up! Thanks to all for the great welcome and support! I amy one wants to join me on my Thanksgiving challange they are more than welcome! I say challange because I'm sure it will be! I'm not sure if I can lose all 20 but i'm going to do my best!

Any watch the season opener of The Biggest Loser? It really made me think, if the can do all that exercise weighing almost 400 lbs. than so can I! And I did my Tae-Bo for 1 hour after watching it! It is very inspiring!!

WELCOME TO EVERYONE WHO HAS JOINED US!!

I vote for just posting here for a while

Hello everyone! Wow, there are a lot of posts which is GREAT! Welcome to the new ladies. I am glad we are a growing group. I had my weigh in today and gained 0.2 but I am glad it was that small of a weigh in.

Lara--you did clomid, too? that's how I got my twins. My hubby and I are thinking about more but it's looking like we would have to do clomid again and can we risk it?? I would totally do twins again but it would be nice to have one. It's hard because everyone around me is pregnant right now and it is a constant reminder that I can't just get pregnant like that!! Sorry it's a little touchy today because I took a pg test earlier. Negative, of course, which is good, right? I really don't want to be pregnant at this weight (just 15 lbs away from my highest preg weight!).

Well, sorry to go on and on with that subject. I am ready for this new week (my weeks start on Tues because that's my WW meeting night). I have a goal sheet made and groceries bought and recipes ready!!

Good job on everyone else's successes. Later..Rikki

Good Evening
 

Good Evening Ladies! I just wanted to drop a couple of lines to share some good news. I have dropped another two pounds, which means i am up to 11 pounds lost. I am so EXCITED! And i have also managed to complete my goal for this week so far which was to excercise more. I have been doing about 30 min of Taebo each day! "How i am finding time" i have no idea. But i have come to find out that my 3 year old likes to kick and punch with me, and then it gets really hard when i am trying to do moves and he is playing going back and forth under my legs...oh well i guess it just means i have to work harder not to fall down on top of him *lol* Well i hope everyone continues to have an AWESOME week! Have a good night all!

Alisha

Since I over hauled my diet, (not easy) and pounded water and cut out caffine (ugg) I have managed to lose 3 pounds!! It makes me feel good!!!

Hope everyone has a good day!!
