Avesha I was just about to post to give you lots of weight lose vibes but then I read the next post and Holly crap you made it to the 2-0's.Are you still on your monthly's now are you still carrying water weight or have you lost it.If you havent then you will get another surprise in a few days you rock girl! Also thanks for the encouragment that really does lift my self esteam. chippertoo you will get past that plateau.I will tell you what my husband just read about plateaus he just told me aboutl,what they said was to go way over on your daily calories one day then the next go way under while still working out and then go back to normal calorie consumption and that is suppose to kick start your body and move past that plateau. Worth a try. Tinav time with hubby is very important just stay strong girl! Well as for me i am obsessive when it comes to weighing myself. I do it every day,iI know not a good idea i know our weight fluctuates daily but I cant help it.Haha! today I weighed in at 207.4lbs. I can't weight till I hit 199lbs I hope everyone has a great weight loss weekend. ~Amanda~

Weight Loss	? For the Ladies...	Jan 23 2007 17:34 (UTC)	17
I am in that boat right now I should be done with my period in a day or 2 so I am looking forward to the 3 or 4 lb weight loss that I put on during that time,and forget about losing anything during that week.It can be very discouraging but dont worry because there is nothing you can do about it besides wait it out.Believe me I feel your pain. ~Amanda~

Well the party went well I was sooooo busy tryin to organize everything I didnt have to worry about eating more then a needed.I had a peice of chicken,peice of canadian bacon and pinnapple pizza and a salad. Oh and a vinilla cupcake(insert a blushing smiley)but hey it was my daughters birthday right! We relly do need so smilies though to spice up our posts.Dont ya think! Welcome Berdie and Sarah cant wait to get to know you better and offer support to you. Tina congrats on the weight loss girl you are perfect! raspberrydelight so not sure what your real name is,great job on the 2 lbs over the weekend weekends are the hardest for me.Way to go! Avesha awesome workout now I need to go drag my bahind into the gym today a good workout is definatly in order today.I totally agree it is about being healthy not just the numbers.i need to keep that in mind.I also think that a huge modivation is that my husband and i but esspecially myself are the biggest role models in our daughters lives they are 4 and 14 months,I dont want my daughter to have a negative body image my first daughter is built just like me big thighs big butt just a curvy body which there is absolutly nothing wrong with and looks very sexy and beautiful if you take care of it being your body. Anyhow I am rambling now. Take care everyone I am off to the gym as soon as I can get some more water down me! Amanda

Good almost afternoon everyone! Please everyone send me healthy none pigging out vibes.Today is my daughters 4th birthday.It is going to be at a local pizza Ranch BUFFET,that is the only place we could fit my large extended family they have a party room.Anyhow there ofcourse will also be cake which i havent had in a while. I think I will be able to do ok but buffets are scary;) I am getting some exercise today too we are about to take the girls sledding near by,plus i will be wearing my 14 month old daughter in my wrap so that will be an extra 20 lbs I will be carrying. Plus I am a little discouraged though I know i shouldnt be but I am because I am in the middle of my cycle and I never lose weight during my cycle.However it will be nice to see the scale move after the bloating and stuff goes away.I should lose about 2 lbs. when aunt flo leaves....;0) Amanada ;)

Avesha congrats on 210lbs. I think it is so cool the you and I and i think someone else are almost exactly the same height and weight.I am 5'7" and 211 however I wont be losing any weight atlest for the next couple of day as my cycle started a couple of days ago and I am bloated and I always weigh 2-3 lbs. more when aunt flo is visiting.I too cant wait till I get 2-0-something especially since I was 205 when hubby and I met.He has never seen me weigh less that will be exciting! I wish i had a visual of what you all look like it seems like all my like I have been the only one I know that weigh what I weigh and are the same height. Anyways i agree lets just drop the whole Amazon thing agree to disagree....I like "Goddesses over 200". Amanda

Very cool thread! I would love to join. Hear is my story I am 25 years and 5'7" and I started out at my top 270 lbs. incidently the very weight I was when I was 9 months pregnant with my first daughter,talk about depressing.At that time my husband and I were trying very hard to have another baby without luck we had been trying for almost a year at that point.Anyhow I got mad and decieded to do something i could control Lose Weight.So I did I started in Nov. of 2004 and by Feb 2005 I was down to 234 lbs. Then the first time since losing wieght we tryed to get pregnant and surprise got pregnant the very first time I really think that I didnt get preggers because my body was too unhealthy to get pregnant.Anyways since I was already eating healthy and working out before I got pregnant I managed to gain only 16 lbs while pregnant,i lost that about 2 weeks after madison was born.I nursed Madison for a year and in Nov. 2006 when I was done nursing her I decided to start up my weight loss were i left off were I start before I got pregnant. Now as of today I am 211 lbs. so all together I have lost 59 lbs. My next goal is to get under 200 I really want to be in the 100's again! My ultimate goal is 175 lbs. Man I am long winded!Haha.
