First of all, Angi, you are welcome to post here. We'd love to have another member. You sound like your doing great with your weight loss so far. Congratulations on that. Ahh..you'd be in the hearts of my Sister in law forever with your pugs. She has two fawn pugs and one black one. They are such characters. I think pugs have wonderful, almost human personalities.

Ellen-Hopefully you feel better soon. I actually have a hard time not eating the sweet stuff if its around. I feel bad too, if I dump perfectly good food in the garbage just so I won't eat it. I did get the guts up enough to do it at Christmas..I just knew the cookies would call me, so I threw them away. I'm sure that little move saved me a few pounds. When do you get relief from the kids? Isn't your mom coming back soon?

Carly-I think we all inspire eachother. I don't know how I can keep up with all this either. I'll tell ya though...tonight I am wiped. I didn't get to bed until midnight last night, and then I worked, and shuttled all the kids from dance class, basketball, drive thrus...and home....then I've been working on my homework for 2 hours. I'm wiped. I need a rest and I am so looking forward to a quick soak in the tub to finish the book I'm reading and then to bed.

I'll see you all tomorrow...I'm looking forward to hearing more from you, Angie! I'm like the polar opposite of you...I have 3 girls! :D

Carly

Chris~Ny mom gets back on tues the 31st!! Yay!! THEy are going home tonight, buit they come back saturday night, because my dad agreed to watch them all so dh and I could go out for my b-day. so I will probably get them for good SUnday night,but then I only have them until tues night. SO I can make it through this. Just a couple of days!

Carly~DH and I leave for the cruise Feb 6th. So there are only a couple of days in between when mom gets back and I leave. We are looking forward to it so much!!

You both are doing great, I don't know how you both do it. I have my hand full with just patr-time (very) job and being mommy. Have a great Friday!!!

Angie~hope to hear from you soon~~

Just a quick one for me. I'm gonna try and get most of my assignments turned in today.

Carly-Yep, I'm still going to the weight loss clinic. Since I've started the weight loss journey, I've lost 29 lbs, but since I've joined the clinic...I've lost 10. It seems to help me out, even if it costs some money. I think spending money is making me more accountable.

Ellen-Did I miss something with the cruise? I swear, my brain must be elsewhere. Can I just sneak myself into your luggage? :D I don't know how you do it with all those little people around. I'm going nuts with just my 3.

Angie-Morning! What's on your adgenda for the day? HOping to see some more posts from you today. Check in as much as you want or need. I'm in and out all day, because of school and my little people but I tried to check in a couple times a day at least.

So far this morning...I started out with a bowl of cereal. My tummy was growling and so I made it kind of big, and then got about halfway through and it just was too much. I had to dump it and my cat got some of the milk.

Warning! Tomorrow, I won't be here until later. I have to be at the school warehouse at 7:45 am and then I help with the auction until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Then to my dad's house to take care of his cats. So it'll be in the evening sometime.

Keep up the good work ladies! Let's do a little challenge today to drink at least 64 oz. of water.

~chris

Good morning
 

Hello Ladies,

I Hope everyone has been having a nice weekend.. mine has been ok... my eating and drinking my water went out the window... the weekends that always happens... I need to get past that... so I am going to exercise this morning and make sure i get my water in...

so how was everyone yesterday?? I bet you all stayed on plan.. because you are just awesome that way... well have a wonderful sunday.. try to get some rest you guys are always so busy... I will check back later..

God Bless

Carly

very busy weekend, I did good even with going out last night. I thought I was going to stay the same at weigh in, but i lost all the extra weight. I am now offically back to pre-christmas weight. I am really motivated. You ladies have a great week end, I have to go get my water, I am really behind. ((hugs))

My weekend went by in a blur. I can't really say I ate bad, but I didn't exactly eat the best either.

Congrats on losing all the extra pounds, Ellen. Great job!

Carly-sorry, I didn't stick to my program. :( It was just one of those weekends. Nothing bad happened, just got a little lax on everything.

Tomorrow is Monday and a new day. I'm gonna get right back on the wagon, and forget the mishaps of the weekend.

I'll check back tomorrow. I did lose some extra weight, I had gained a few pounds in just a couple days, which I thought was really odd. I drank extra water and nixed the soda for a few days, and it came back off. Must have been retaining alot of water.

Okay..night. As soon as Tiana gets done with her shower, the bath tub is mine, mine....MINE! (Evil sinister laugh.....)

~chris

Good morning
 

Good Morning Ladies,

Well so far... yesterday... I did not do so well... ate brownies and junk food.. I did do my exercising though... I did not drink enough water... and let me tell ya my body is telling me all about it...well today is a new day... so i will start again... I surely need to get some fruits and veggies in this house... when i go shopping next time...

well I am going to start setting daily challanges for myself.. I think today will be drinking my eight to ten glasses of water... sounds like a plan to me.. I will let you know... now what to do tomorrow....:o

well I hope you ladies have a great day and if you can think of any daily challanges please let me know... i need all the help I can get....

Thank you,


God Bless
Carly

Hey Carly, Hey Ellen...Maybe I should have a daily goal too. My goal for the day is to drink 8-10 glasses of water too...and NO POP! I think I need to make sure I move and do some sort of aerobic activity on the days I don't go to the gym. I went last night after not going for 4 nights. Gosh, it felt good. I worked up a sweat...:D

Not much going on today. I'm babysitting my niece and nephew because my sister switched to days on her job. I'll work on my homework later. Kelly has the day off too. He got flexed off for the day. They only had six service calls for the day and 7 technicians scheduled. So they flexed off 5 and kept 2 techs on. We're gonna work on getting our trailer ready for the camping season so that we can get it out of the driveway so I can quit parking in the street. I'll check back later.

Carly, don't fret. Just jump right back into your groove. You can do it!

~chris

Good morning ladies!!! My mom and sisiter made it home safely last night, so I now only have my three little ones. I am not sure what to do with myself.

I think I am still fighting off this cold, so I think I will lay low. I have to get DS on the bus, but after that I do not have anything planned for today.

Food wise I have been good, we will see if I get achance/feel better to exercise. but on the up side, I have stayed the same, so at leaset I am not gaining. You ladies have a great day!!

Good morning
 

Hello Ladies,

so i beat my challange of drinking my 8-10 glasses of water... yippppyyyy.. does make you feel real good when you accomplish something.. I notice i do feel so much better when i drink my water... my body does not seem so sore all the time.. exercising is still going wonderfully... that really helps me through out the day because i get so tense at my job the exercising has been helping keep me calm.. the eating well .. to day i challange myself to try to make the best choices possible...again not much in the food department in this house.. but hey I should be able to find better choices..I can do this.

I know you ladies are doing wonderful....

Ellen I do hope you are feeling better today.

Chris did you make your challange of 8-10 glasses of water>?? I bet you did.. you are so motivated...

well have a wonderful day... i will try and check back later...

God Bless
Carly

Hey girls...sorry for not posting yesterday. I had to work and shuttle the girls around to all their stuff last night. Now today, lucky me, I have a tummy bug. I feel like crap. Achy body, runny nose, headache from H*ll, etc. You name it, I think I have all the symptoms of a flu. So needless to say, I'm staying within my calories really great today.

I get up and work on my homework a bit, fold some clothes, get dizzy and go lay down. I would love to be sleeping right now, but as is the way of things, when I don't feel good, Nicole feels better than normal and is getting into everything. Of course...right? :D

Gonna check on my classes and go lay down. My head is starting to pound again.

~chris

ladies! I am off for my cruise tomorrow morning very early. :woo: I am looking forward to this so much. Now it will snow and the plane will not be able to fly out. :P We are all ready for our little get together today for the Superbowl, then off to mom's to drop off the kids. I will not be on until I get back, so I hope you three stay OP nad positive. Have a great week. :grouphug:

Couldn't post because I've been a little sickie. I can't say I really feel much better. I feel fine, and then when I eat..super nausea hits.

ANyhow, dinner is cooking and I'll check back when I get a few more minutes. Later tonight hopefully.

Hey Ellen, Have fun on your cruise! Still wish I could pack myself up in your suitcase. :D

~chris

Good morning

I will try and check back later..

Challange to day... Drink my water.....

God Bless,
Carly

Man, I just feel so disorganized this week. I'm not sleeping very good and this is going to sound so anal retentive, but I usually get on the computer Saturday night or Sunday morning to go through my courses and print out my assignments for the following week. I didn't do it until last night and I just feel so out of sorts now.

I'm feeling better. Occasionally my stomach feels yuck again, but I guess I'll live with it. I keep waking up short of breath a few times a night, so I'm assuming that something is causing my allergies to act up. Gonna have to knock myself out at night with my allergy pills....:D

I went to the gym last night with my sister and did 25 min on the treadmill and 2 sets of reps on the Life Circuit. Wednesday, we are going during the day, so that Wed. night I can go to church with my other sister and my mom. They are doing a "ladies only' church service. Usually its about things you have to deal with raising girls and such. I need all the help I can get with raising mine.

Drink drink drink that water. I've been drinking a ton of water lately. I haven't noticed the numbers changing much on the scale but my clothes are looser so I'm assuming my muscles are getting all toned up. Such a long frustrating road. I wish I had more patience, because losing weight seems to take so long. I am so desperately wanting to buy my skinny clothes and ditch the 'fat girl' clothes, non of which are very flattering. Well let me know how your day goes. I'm sorry I"m slacking on my posts. I'll try to at least keep up with it this week.

~chris

single mom of 4, 2 R overweight
 

Hello,
I post in other threads here on 3 fatchicks, I just need general support today. Getting some harsh news from the Dr. today, 2 kids are overweight and she is concerned about them having/getting type 2 diabetes. I am overweight and working on losing (9lbs so far Yippie!) weight and I'm working on my kids and the whole family now. I just went into a sadness that I can't describe. See I go to college 2 nights a week so on those days I have 12-16 hour days and I don't see my little ones( the overweight ones) until the afternoon of the 3rd day. Money is hard to stretch and I have to shop and cook the other days since we did manage to cut out fast food. I have a delimna thought. I'm really considering dropping out of school this semester. I only have about 90 days to go but my kids eating when I'm not here is way out of control. Well my 7 year olds eating is. There is a very long story involved there but suffice it to say that she is eating like crazy when she is home. I really don't send them to the park across the street alone b/c there are some serious bullies there. I can't go with them every day b/c of the 2 days at school the other days are consumed with all the "other" stuff that needs to be done. I really need some support or suggestions. I really feel like I need to take the doctor seriously and this weight issue with me and my kids seriously and I really want to have the time to focus on that. Of course my friends discourage me from quitting school but most of them are overweight too. They don't plan on losing weight. At any rate thanks for reading.

Ruthie..Hey hon, I know what your going through is VERY hard. Don't quit school though. I'm also an overweight mother. I have 3 daughters. I have rheumatoid arthritis and am also going to school. I'm a full-time student, work part time for my dad and am a stay at home mom for the rest. If the doctor is concerned about your children's weight, I would take him seriously. One thing you can do for you and your kids is only buy healthy food. They'll throw a fit for a bit, but then they'll calm down. Apples, oranges, bananas, etc. Find some healthier options for all of you. I make this dessert out of fat-free cottage cheese, fat-free frozen whipped topping, and any flavor of sugar-free jello. Mix it all together and you have a tasty little treat. There is alot of web sites that feature kid-friendly healthy food. I know its hard to tackle everything when you're going to school. I still have days where I feel like its me against the world, but it passes. Who watches your kids when you're in school? Sit down and let them know (babysitter, father, kids, etc) and what you are going to do so there is no surprises. I don't know what else to tell ya. It takes a lot of courage to lose weight and alot to go to school....Just go for it!!!!

~chris

Thanks so much Chris. This is a really difficult decision for me. I really don't have any family support in that sense. I work full time, and all I really hav eis my kids. My oldest daughter just started working so there will be one less person home with them in the evenings, she also runs track so when she's not working she's running track. She's healthy as the doctor told me yesterday it's the little ones that are out of control. It appears that I don't have a choice other than dropping out this semester. There is on one to watch them while I attend school and even worse thier eating habits will be out ot control if I continue this way. I figure I can go back when they are older but for right now we have to start a physical activity program for them. And yes thank you I but all that healthy stuff and they try to eat it all in one day. My son has gotten a little better and is actually starting to lose weight, but the baby is way out of control. I really don't mind dropping this semester, my family is more important. Thanks so much for your comments.

Ruth,
Does your school offer online classes? Or evening classes? That might be an option. You might have said already, but I'm going to ask again. How old are your kids? I assume the one is in high school. Mine are 12, 6 and 3. I know its hard...esp. when there isn't much support. Wish I lived closer and then I'd be able to help you out. I know that desperate, I don't know what to do feeling. That has to be one of the worst. If you need anything...or just someone to listen, you can find us back here or you can PM me anytime. K? I'm on a few times a day usually.

~chris

You are so sweet Chris. I think I've just about decided that it's not worth it right now to stress myself out. Anyway my kids are 16, 9 and 7. The 9 and 7 year cannot be trusted to be here while I go to class. And no they don't offer Internet classes at my level. The classes I am taking are a night so.... Anyway I don't really feel bad about it. I feel a little sad b/c I thought I would be able to just go all the way through, but I've dropped semesters for much less in the past. We will be okay I'm sure things will work out.

Goodmorning
 

Good Morning Ladies,

Ruthie...hello nice to see you here.. I am sorry to hear your difficulties... is there any way you can set up your house so your childrens daily intake of food is already set up and when that is gone that is it.... I know my kids always liked running back in forth to the fridge anytime they wanted... and grab whatever they wanted etc.etc.. but sometimes you just have to stop them from doing that.. we had to do that.. because they we just being gluttons.. and if i bought a bag of apples... one child would eat the hole bag in a day... I mean apples are good for ya... but hey lets not go over board.. so i had to start setting it up so things were prepared a head of time.. and when they where done that was it until tomorrow... its hard at first because if you kids are like mine they are hungry twenty four seven... but if you talk with you dr.. they should help you with how many calories a day and all that stuff.. it is hard and you do feel so bad because face it who wants thier children saying there hungry but sometimes its just boredom... or nothing better to do ya know what i mean.. anyways... I hope this helps a little..

hey Chris, sorry I havent been around for a couple days.. I was not feeling so great.. but I am feeling a bit better.. around here has been crazy.. but i have been exercising and drinking my water like i should be.. my eating is still not where i want it to be but i am working on that.. even as an adult portion control is so hard.... at least its feb and the nice weather is not to far away.. nothing has been happening with the house but not giving up hope.. spring is a coming... well have a great day.. keep up the great work.. stay on plan.

God Bless
Carly

I'm sick of this updating the server stuff. I can't get on..I can...I can't...I can. :dizzy: Going crazy.

I'm taking a break from my homework. I went up to the hospital to give my sister a little break from her son. They put him in last night with a very bad breathing problem from yet another virus. I think she is getting the worst of it this year with her kids. So I didn't get to the gym last night and I might not be able to get in today. I have some assignments due. I've really been out of sorts this week with my eating and I'm totally frustrated by that. I don't know why eating is such a problem for me. I know I want to be thinner and healthier but I sabotage myself in so many ways...so many days.

Gotta get back to the ol homework grind. I'll check back and hopefully you'll be feeling better too, Carly. Hummm...wonder how Ellen's cruise is going????

Hey Ruthie! Checkin up on ya too. How's things in your homefront???

~chris

I'm Back!!! Yay we had such a great time! I did weigh in today(no scale on board) and I did gain 5lbs, but we exercised everyday and controled our eating, but I was not able to get my water in at all, and the food had some sodium in it. I am giving myself a week to get back down. I am pretty sure gettting my water in will help. We came in second place in a twisting contest!! yay they gave us t-shirts, but only a large(DH and I both wear 2x) so we gave the t-shirts to my brother and sisiter.

Welcome Ruthie!!! I am sorry to hear that you are having a rough time. I know it is hard, but I really think you should take carly's suggestion. it will help. But most of all do not drop out. I know it is hard, but it will be better for your whole family if you cvan finish school. I still have to go back, and it took DH 10 yrs to finish his degree. If you need to vent we are always here!! I have to run, but I hope you ladies have a great day!!!

Geez, Ellen, you sound too peppy for me right now. While you've been relaxing yourself in the sun, I've been slamming my head off the table trying to figure out my homework. ;) Sounds like you had an awesome time. Someday I would love to take a cruise.

Welcome back!!

~chris

Good morning
 

Good Morning Ladies,

Ellen,,, I am so glad you had such a good time... I so would love to go on a vacation.. but oh well... I am taking a mini trip to maine this weekend so that will be nice... I decided i needed to get my mind back into the Maine move thing.. I have been kinda bummed out lately because of craziness around here and the house not selling you know how it goes... so i decide we are going to go and look at houses in maine next weekend... let me tell ya I cant wait.. I know i cant buy yet until my house sells but i think if we go and do this it will make it feel more tangable to us... anyways,,, the eating this weekend went right out the window... not to much water either.. the weekends are so hard for me... but hey i just keep plugging along... it will stick one of these days..

Chris... I am sorry about your sisters child.. I hope things get better soon..
dont beat yourself up because you slacked a tiny bit... you will get right back on the right track you always do.. I think we all get into these slumps and just need to do whatever we do.. but at least we know enough not to stay there.. so I know today you will get all your water intake and you will be eating every healthy thing you can get your hands on...

Ruth.. I hope all is well with you...


well have a great on track day ladies,,, remember we are all doing this together so lets kick some butt... :D


God Bless
Carly

Doing pretty good this morning. I had peanut butter toast and I have started my water. I am down 1/2 lb, so I know it will all just melt away. I plan on taking it easier today, still kinda worn out from the trip, but i have to take the kids to the eye dr and I am cleaning up a bit. I still have to unpack, but I am slowly going through everything. I will aim to do 1hr with the hula hoop today, and get my exercise tape back in the routine by Wednesday.

Chris~I am sorry to hear about your sister's kids. I know that there are some pretty nasty bugs going around right now.

Carly~I kmow weekends are hard, but sometimes you just need them. I am looking forward to hear how your "house hunting" went. Just don't wear yourself down.

Ruthie~Looking forward to getting to know you post soon!!!

I am so ashamed...I snuck some candy today. But I went to the gym tonight and workout for an hour or so. I didn't overdo it at dinner either. I think that will offset some of my candy blunder today.

Conner is feeling better. Still wheezing and labored breathing but alot more lively than he was before. I think my sister would like to nail his little feet down to the floor but he has to make up for all that lost time ya know...:D On the downside of it, my oldest daughter is in his boat now. She's had asthma since she was 6 and now she's got the sam virus and she is looking awful. She's running a fever, is dizzy, can't eat, and is wheezing a bit. Not as bad as him, but she's been taking an inhaler with steriods for a couple months now, so she won't get it nearly as bad as him. I'm watching her though.

Carly, we all have our bad weekends. I know I do. That's when I seem to screw up alot too. It's like all the control we have over our lives goes out the window and things just get to hectic and chaotic on the weekends. Just
jump right back on that healthy lifestyle track. I'm struggling right along with you. We can do this, sunshine!!!!

Ellen, see I bet you were just retaining some water. I bet that weight slides right back off. BTW, do ya have any snow around your house? We're supposed to get hit with some. Woo Hoo! I like snow.

OKay...bathtime. I got my sister's kids tomorrow and so I'm going to decompress before tomorrow. Check back in the am.

~chris

Good morning
 

Goodmorning Ladies,

well let me tell ya... yesterday i was doing so good.. until supper time.. and i think i ate just about every thing in this house.. not sure what that was all about but hey i will get there.. I did drink my water so that was a good thing..

Chris.. sorry to hear your daughter is ill... I hope it doesnt last long.. I hate it when the kids are ill.. we got the snow sunday...I dont mind the snow... my hubby loves the stuff... I am not that excited about it... :D
my daughter was happy they cancelled school... but today is getting things back to normal..

Ellen... that 5 lbs will be history before you know it.. just keep on doing what ever it is you are doing...

well i need to go... have to get motivated .... have a wonderful day and stay on plan..

God Bless
Carly

Chris~There is no snow here yet, but it has been coming down occasionally for the last three days. But it has been too warm for the last 2months that none of it is sticking. I really don't like having to be out in it, but if I dan't have to go anywhere, than I don't mind it. I hope your daughter feels better soon.

Carly~I lost it yesterday at dinner too, but I mainly binged on veggies, so I don't think that will hurt too bad. I did get some twizzlers for the kids, and of course I had to have some. But I did get my water in, so that is a start.

Ladies I have to run DS has to get on the bus.

Goodmorning
 

Morning Ladies,

I hope everyone had a great day yesterday... mine was ok.. but I didnt drink all my water and hubby bought me chocolates and of course i couldnt say no..

so we begin again... well keep your fingers crossed that today will be a good day... I really could use one...

have great day ladies,... stay on track... and drink all your water....

God Bless
Carly

Did pretty well yesterday until dinner. I ened up eating two(small) plates of spagetti and then finished DD's plate as well. ANd DH brought home turtles, so I had a couple of those too. BUt I did get my water in, not I have to figure out a way to get my exercise back in. I am having a hard time with my mattress, so I wake up feeling worse than when I went to bed. We will see what can be done.

Well ladies have a great day and don't forget your water!!

hey there, can i join this thread ?
I'm a 21 year old mom to 2 boys, 3.5 and 12 weeks :D

:welcome2: Losingitin06

Hey welcome Losingitin06. Glad to have ya. My name is Chris. Sahm of 3 daughters....12, 6, and 3.


Yah, yah, yah...we are having a great week here. Now Nicole is wheezing, running a fever, etc. Tiana is still home, running a fever, and not doing anything but laying down. Poor honeys. We're all treking over to my sister's house later today. Her little boy still needs the nebulizer and now Nicole needs it too, so we're all gonna sit around her house and pass around the albuterol, instead of driving back and forth. Her middle son is sick now too. He's got the same symptoms as Tiana and Nicole. Lovely isn't it.

I did manage to get to the gym last night. We did 25 min. on the treadmill and 45 of weights. Jen needed a break and the gym was so quiet with everyone doing something for Valentine's day. My sweetie got me a dozen pink roses....and a card. He got the girls each a Valentine and then gave them $5 with it. Hmmm...where's my money??? J/k

Gotta go pick up my house and do some homework and then pack up the sickies and lounge at my sister's house. Check back in a while.

~chris

thank you for the welcome,
was able to get to the gym today, did 30 mins of cardio and my circut.
Hubby is taking me and the boys out shopping tonight and to montana's for dinner... eeeek, must order something good!

Hey Losin it... I like your idea for banking money for a new wardrobe. I'm gonna have to do that, and give myself some inspiration and motivation for getting thin.

Ontario...You threw me off with the eating at Montana's. I'm live in the state of Montana. Too funny.

I usually try to get to the gym too. My sister and I do about 30 min of cardio and the Life Circuit machines. I love working out..didn't think I would because of all those skinny intimidating bodies you see in most gyms. Thank God the one we joined is small and the cliental is not soo small. I don't feel self conscious at all.

Great job on getting in that workout!

~chris

Good morning
 

Good Morning Ladies,

Welcome Loseingitino6... I also like the Idea of saving for a new wardrobe.. might just have to start doing that.. maybe that is the motivation I need to stay on track... I have been exercising ... but slacking on the water intake... and eating well having way to many problems in that area the last few weeks what is up with that.. I will get there...

chris sorry about the kiddos I hope everyone feels better soon... great job at the gym though you are doing excellent... but i didnt expect anything less from you..

Ellen... Maybe its time for a new Mattress.... your rest is very important to good health...

well have a great day I will check back later...

God Bless
Carly

good morning ladies!!! I am off to a better start. I am still a little sore, but DH and I talked about getting a new matterss. WE can't aford the one I really want(tempurpedic) but we may have to buy one to get us through for the time being. A friend owns a wholsale shop and we bought the kid's matresses from him, so we will probably go get one from him. I hope that will help. I am so tired of waking up with horrible lowback/hip pain.

On the up side I am down a little bit more. I don't usually report all my weights during the week, but I am pretty happy that it is coming off so smothly. I am trying to eat less-to reshrink my stomache. I definitley ate too much on the cruise, but we still had a blast. I did get some sit ups and push ups done in the morning, and I did a collective hour and a half with the hula hoop. I had it broken up during the day, but dh and I watched the end of American Idol and I was able to hula to that. Eating was ok at best, but I Did get my water in.

Ladies have great OP day~I have to get DS on the bus again, running a tad late. ((hugs))

aw man, bad weather here today.. really icy roads and everything.
won't be able to go to the gym this morning, will have to wait till hubby get's off work, hopefully the roads will be better just before dinner time.
