Hi Everyone! I was just up getting Nicholas a bottle. It is 1:34 am this time sherri......... LOL LOL I just wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone! My hubby and I went for a jog last night. We would jog so far and then walk then jog and walk. I love doing that and haven't done it in a long time. It felt great. He pushed me to jog farther and farther. We ended up doing 1.5 miles so it was pretty good. My weigh in is in one more day. If I am down it will be only a small amount. I am on my monthly cycle and the scale is staying the same. I just hope I dont gain and I will be ok. Well I am going back to bed. Everyone have a great op plan. Good luck to all the Wednesday weighers and stay on plan to you and all the thursday weighers. May the scales be good to you....... Penny

Good morning all it's 5:33 a.m. and I'm up. Our 2 year old has been sleeping in until 9:00, not taking a nap, and then being really difficult. So my husband has asked that I get him up at 7. In order to have a little bit of free time, well here I am. My son and I went for a walk yesterday. Found out last night it was 1.2 miles. Poor little guy. He walked it though. He was having fun. Only one time did he asked to be picked up. I didn't realize it was that far. Today I will push him in the stroller. I wrote everything down yesterday. I did alot better, but that low fat ice cream at night just gets me. It's like a topper for the day. I weighed and messured yesterday also. Made sure I had my veggies in, I still lacked a fruit, and probably should of opted for that instead of the ice cream. But i will be ok. I'm proud of myself for measuring.
I hope everything goes well for everybody the rest of the week. I hope everyone has a loss this week.
Take care.
Wendy
Ok, ps i finally found information on the smile,

Hey Wendy! I am glad to hear you are doing so great. How often do you measure yourself?? I measure once a month but I have lost my measurements . I don't think I have your email address. I guess I will have to look. I wanted to email you, so here is mine just incase i don't have yours.... [email protected] Have a great day on plan. Talk to you later Bye Penny

Good morning!

Wednesdays are the most boring days. Today I got up at 6a and did two loads of laundry then ran my 2 miles around the lake. I always feel so great in the morning when it's sunny and warm. I'm so affected by the weather!! It's going to be 90 here in Boston today. I'll enjoy every second of it!

Ladies with the young'uns...is this what I get to look forward to?? Hee hee...My husband and I are going to try to get pregnant in September. I come from a very fertile family. I'm one of 6!! I've been taking my temperature for a few weeks to track my ovul cycle. I'm excited but terrified of weight gain. OK terrified is putting it mild. it keeps me awake at night.

I'm trying right now to lose as much as I can. Wish me luck!

Talk to you later!

Hi Guys,

I haven't been posting much but I am sad and I wanted to pop in. I will keep it brief. My friend who I walk with at lunch time lost her baby last night. It was her second baby and she was so excited about having another one. It is going to be a tough month for her because her mom died a year ago on May 7 and she was dreading that day.

I am doing okay otherwise. I have my weigh in tonight but may not go. I have been feeling sick yesterday and especially today. I won't stay for the meeting but will try and weigh in. I have to start staying for the meetings again.

Better go. Take care.

Marie

Hey All,

Penny Keep up the great work. You are doing great this week. I am sure you will have a loss this week. I know I better.LOL Maybe your hubby will want to jog again tonight. I am glad that it is working out for you. It is nice to have a partner when walking isn't it? I know I enjoy walking every morning now with my sister. It is great. It is a great time also 8am. That way I get it in and don't miss it. I love the weather we are having here also. It is in the 80's here also.

Wendy,

You are doing great with all your measuring of things. I know I measure everything I eat. It really helps with the portion control. I have been measuring my food for over a year now and still if I don't measure it I take too much. Go figure.LOL I am glad to see you have pulled in the reigns and gotten a fresh start. Don't worry we will both get pretty close to our goals in the next 4 weeks. I have faith and a lot of hard work and we can do it. I know we can.

Marie,

That is terrible to hear about your friend. I am sure she isn't doing to well. Good thing she has friends like you to help her through. How is the house selling going? Anymore open houses or anyone interested yet? Are you looking for a house yet yourself? Keep up the great work and get your butt back to those meetings. We all need them. Especially if we had a gain. I hope you are feeling better. It isn't the flu is it? Take care of you and then get back to your meeting and back on track.

Amy,

Yes you have to look forward to getting up early with a little one. I know I had the life of leisure at first. My daughter would go to bed (when first born) at around 11pm and sleep until 5 am. Get up have her bottle and then go back to sleep until 10am. It was great. Now that she is older she gets up around 7am now no matter what time she gets to bed at night. She also takes a nap most days. Unless we get home way too late and then I just put her to bed early. But they do need the naps and you need the R&R.LOL I love nap time. It gives me some peace for the day that you are not demanded to do this or that because they can't do everything for themselves.LOL But it is a great thing also.
As far as the weight goes I wouldn't stress about it. Try to lose as much as you can now. And once you get pregnant just keep eating as you are now so that you don't gain extra weight. You will gain weight because they say that when pregnant in the end you have to gain at least 25 lbs but that is what everything together for the baby weighs. Like the baby itself, the water the blood everything. So if you eat healthy during your pregnancy and stay away from the junk food then after the baby is born you will lose most of the weight. You won't be the same size. But you will have a head start so that you can start to lose it again. Just think if you eat way too much and junk and actually gain weight other than what is for the baby then it will be harder to take off. But the time goes by fast and it is wonderful. It is such a miracle if you think about it. So I wouldn't let the weight bother you. I know it is easy to say and I would let it bother me to. But it is only for 9 months then you can work hard at losing it after the baby is born.

I hope everyone has a great day.

I am doing great on plan again today. I hope to have a great loss tomorrow at weigh in.

Sherri

hello all.I am already ready to go to bed.Today was so so. I had a wonderful surprise when I got home.Thank you Sherri.You really shouldn't have but I do appreciate it.
I think I did a little better with my eating together but did no exercises.I really do not want to go to TOPS tomorrow as I have gained so much.I am the weight recorder so I have to go.Will really be embarrassing.
It has been many years since my gang was little but I still remember.They can wear you out.
Penny I think it's great your hubby went jogging with you.. I don't think scales will like me on them.But it will be better next week
Wendy-Sounds like you have a tough little fellow to keep up with you.My grand-daughter walks with me on occasion but she is older.Ice cream is a downfall for many of us.I keep popsycles in freezer but sometimes they just aren't enough
Amy Elizabeth--I am very impressed that you know exactly when you plan on getting pregnant.I wasn't that smart.It seemed like I was pregnant al the time for a 10 year span.Friends used to tease me about having one in the belly and one on the hip for years.Now I just enjoy grandchildren.It is great you got a run in early
Marie--I am so sorry to hear about your friend.She is lucky to have a caring friend like you.Sometimes it is hard to stay for meetings but they do help.
Sherri You are doing great.You are soooo close to goal.I know you will make it this year
Summer and Christie I know you are both checking the messages-Take care and know we are thinking about you.
Summer,I sent you a private message
Well it is almost 8 pm and about time for this old lady to get ready for bed.
Those of you that are doing good.Keep it up
For those of you like myself who are not doing good.Hang in there we will get ourselves going in right direction
