| hey - me again. scale is down two pounds in two days - and I'm not depriving myself either! I know some of it is water, but I also know I can as of this morning get into my old jeans that I had put away before Thanksgiving! I had actually lost about 5 pounds before joining this week, so it is actually 7 pounds gone. And I think I'm losing right around my belly which is good for me! It's where I carry the most weight and keeps my clothes from fitting well.
Anyway, the exercise thing with three toddlers is very hard. If I get down on the floor to do anything, they use that as an invitation to climb all over me! Good for them, but not so good for the exercise plan! It's hard to do crunches with three kids all over you! We joined a gym with childcare but finding time to go is still the problem - we have preschool for the oldest one two days a week and all three are in gymnastics (in two different classes) and so on and so forth...I guess I just need to put myself on the schedule and make it a priority! anyway, thanks for the encouragement and a chance to vent. I stay at home with three toddlers and until my husband comes home, I have very little interaction with adults. This really helps!! Also, lots of willpower will be needed today - it's my baby's 2nd birthday and there will be cake and icecream tonight!!! more later....Lisa |

| Hi there! I'm a 43 year old stay at home mom with three children - a 4 year old son, a daughter that will be three at the end of april and a daughter that will be two on wednesday (before you get out the calendars, the middle child is adopted! the girls are exactly 8 1/2 months apart! so much for believing doctors who tell you that you can't get pregnant again!!!) Anyway, I'm 5'3" and weigh 270 pounds. I've always been heavy - weighed about 180 even in high school - but was always pretty shapely until going through two pregnancies. I didn't gain but a few pounds with each one but the saggy skin on my belly that has now been filled with more fat has gotten just horrible! I can't hide the rolls anymore. So I am going to try to lose the weight and exercise and if I reach my goal weight of 140 pounds, I am going to have plastic surgery to remove the excess skin! So, away we go....
those who are believers, please pray for me as I go through this - I find that prayer helps everything go a little easier! I will put all of you in my prayers also! Thanks for the support - I know I will need it as I go through this and I hope to be of support to all of you too! Lisa |
