Lyndsay, Im the same way. I tried eating below my points and I would not lose anything, also if I dont eat at the high end of the point range when I exercise I dont lose anything. That's why I was asking cryket so many questions to see if that's what she's doing so she can modify it and lose weight again. That's too funny. I thought it was just my body that was like that.

Angie my Christmas tree is coming down tonight. I have the same problem as you not enough room with all 3 kids new toys everywhere. My honey was off of work today and cleaned and rearranged all of there rooms today to make room for the new stuff, so now I can get it all out of my living room.

Hey? come to think of it...the only pile of gifts left to put away is MINE!!! hehe....The boys are pretty good about putting their things away, eldest ds put his stocking and gifts up in his room about 1 hr after opening them all!!! I'm in the process of highlighting my hair.....doing ds also. His is so easy, nice and short but mine has alot of wave to it. We'll see. I wanted a fresh new look .....almost 30 lbs lost.....inlaws coming and they haven't seen me for 1 yr......new clothes and a NEW YEAR!!! Wait till dh comes home...hehe .....who knows what will happen then!!!

[Bobaloola]

Okay Angel-eyes... your turn to hide! LOL I'm lurking... not much to report... still just preparing for the post-new years re-start. Yet, this is the first time I've KNOWN I'm going to start a weight loss plan and I haven't just gorged myself till I'm sick. That's a plus right?? LOL

[akiss2you]

Hey everyone. Hppe everyone is having a great OP day. I had a hectic morning so this is the first time i've been able to get on. Doing good today already at 20 points for the day, so I have to figure out a low point dinner. I have some boneless, skinless chicken thighs... any suggestions?????

[huntersmommy]

not sure if i already mentioned this but, we have started ttc#2 but, on our own so i'm really scared my first pg was on my own but, i lost the baby at 13 weeks my son we went to a fertility specialist and were monitored for the first 7 weeks after she helped us get pg which took us 16 months to get pg and now here we are trying on our own the base dr told me yesterday that the more weight i lose the easier time i'll have getting pg and the easier pregnancy i will have i hope it happens dh has agreed for us to try and put it in Gods hands for 3 months which means i have till april 1st and thats it he is to afraid to go through the fertility dr again so im still working on my weight and still here for you girls

[akiss2you]

Angie yes the tree is and decorations are all packed away until next year. The house looks kinda boring now since everything is gone, but it's nice to have all the extra room again. Im wishing you good luck on trying for another baby. I have had several friends who tried for several months to a year to have a baby, I know it can be frustrating, so just remember you were succesful before and you will be again!

Was really bad today. I ate backyard burger for lunch. It was so yummy, but I know it was so bad. Im just taking this week easy, which I know I shouldnt be. We have plans to go out this weekend to for New Years Eve, so I know I wont be good. So Sunday, Jan 1st is going to be my fresh start being OP and exercising.

Angie, did you order your walk away the pounds & firming up videos or can you get them at Target or Walmart? Did yours come with the bands or ab thing or do you just do your own hand weights. Im considering getting it for the days I can push myself to do my elliptical I can just pop in the dvd's and do them.

[huntersmommy]

anna my watp i bought off of ebay i just use my own hand weights found that ebay can be pretty cheap depending on what you are looking for in exercise videos may also try like overstock.com they have super cheap shipping i really love my workout videos.

yeah i know i was pg before only difference this time the first pg i lost the 2nd pg was my son that i saw a reproductive speicalist and was on fertility drugs this time its only 3 months of trying is all dh is willing to do hes afraid to go through fertility drugs again so now I just sit and pray that it will happen and that i can get progesterone to help keep me pg and anything else quick enough. uggghhh so scared but, excited at the possibility of expanding the family this will be our last baby God willing that I'm able to get pg. thanks for the support

Just popping in to say hello and good luck to everyone.

I am still doing treadmill- kind of getting use to it now~ I feel guilty if I dont do it every morning. Eventually I will work my time up and I also want to do some type exercise in the evening too.

I am still writing down and drinking my water. Since I started drinking water i cant drink pop anymore dont like the taste.

I wish everyone good luck ~ we can do this girls.
