Penny,

You will get there girl. You have so much on your plate I know. But you have to get your mind set back. You have time to eat girl just start making better choices. You can do this. I will keep calling you girl to give you the kick in the butt you need.LOL Take it one day at a time.

As for me I did great yesterday and my scale is down 3 lbs already. I got rid of a lot of water yesterday which helped. I ended up drinking 64 oz and 1 cup of green tea. I am ready for another day at it.

Lets keep the motivation going ladies. We just have to keep each other pumped up. We can do this together as a team.

I will check in later. Have a great on plan day.

Thanks for the encouragement Sherri!
I know I really need it! I am happy to say I have been on plan all day and I wanted to come here and post to make sure I stay on plan.
Believe me, I know how hard it is to do things for yourself but if I don't put myself first who will? My husband is already working two jobs so I can stay home with the children. It is helping us in the long run but I am home 24/7 with them.

I hope everyone has a great day on plan. Just remember you are one day closer to reaching your goal.

Hello all, I have really been missing in action. I have been lurking around and am never very far away. Some of you are doing so great. I am just bursting with pride. Some are struggling as I am.
This is just not an easy thing to do altho sometimes it seems easier for some. It isn’t easy for anyone
I see my heart doc tomorrow and hopefully he can make me feel better. Blood work came back good except for low count but that always happens.
Went to grandsons birthday party. The birthday party was nice. It is always good to see grandchildren in small doses.
Rebekah had her pregnant glow going on. She looked good.
Angel”s new boyfriend got broke in.
Bill took some pictures but I always take such ugly ones. But he decided we needed to take more pictures with me in them. If they are too bad I will cut me out. Problem solved.
I haven’t been exercising much but I have been practicing my piano better. Does that count? Maybe I will get skinny fingers.
We still have a few more months to see a yearly loss. I am hoping for the best.. Hope you have had a good day

Penny,

I can only imagine how hard it is to be home with that many kids. I give you a lot of credit because it is too many for me.LOL All I can say to help you is to TRY AND SLOW DOWN don't be like this all day. Each day is passing and the time just slips away from us so fast. If we don't force ourselves to slow down and breath and actually think about what we are doing (no matter what we are doing) we aren't enjoying it.
You have what it takes to make good decisions. That is great that you are cooking meals with your mom so that way you are getting a chance to eat healthy. I will be easier once you get done breast feeding then you will be able to eat more foods that you enjoy. Hang in there girl I think you are doing great. I am proud of you for staying on track so far today and for taking the time for you to get on here and post. I am here for you.

Eleni,

I hope the heart doctor will help you. Yes I think it is great that you are practicing more. Even though you aren't exercising you can keep your hands busy by playing the piano and not eating. don't be doing this to yourself.LOL I think you are doing great overall. You do have a lot of health issues that hold you back from your goals. But you will get through them eventually. The closer you get to goal the farther away your health problems will be hopefully. Remember to always just do what you can that is all we can expect of ourselves.
I agree with you that sometimes it seems so easy to stay on plan and then other times it is so HARD. I don't get it. Why does it have to be so hard on us? We are women and we can do whatever we set our minds on no matter what it is. Let just stick together and we will win this battle.

I had another good day on plan today. I am going to finish below pts again. I have to go get some popcorn from the store for a snack to get me up to my points plus I am hungry tonight. I came home and was soooo hungry I downed a can of french styled green beans. It was 0 points so I thought it was a great choice.LOL

Talk you you all later. Have a great night.

Eleni ~
You seem down lately. I hope everything is going ok. And I think you are a beautiful lady, MOM! You better not cut yourself out of any pictures! Keep your head up high and keep on moving!

Sherri~
Good job on the points today! I am proud of you! I know it is hard to eat a can of green beans when you are hungry. It is not as apealing as a hamburger but I am glad you did it. It is just getting you that much closer to goal.

Christie~
Way to go for staying on plan for so long now! I bet that scale is dropping left and right! You are doing wonderful!

Nita, CoCo, Wendy, Summer, and everyone else! Where are you! We need you to help us win this battle!

I did great today and am pumped about having another great day ON PLAN! See you lighter, Penny
