Welcome to all the newbies! it is great to have you join in the fun! Last Wiegh in: 151.2 Today: 150 Loss: 1.2 Total loss: 35 lbs At least this is going in the right direction again! Just 5 more lbs to my goal weight! I was ALMOST there before the Cruise and Denver and and and LOL. Now I am heading to Atlanta this weekend. I PROMISE to do better this time. At least it is only a few days. But it is soo hard being stuck in business meetings all day in a hotel conference room. All I want to do is snack to stay awake! ERGG! I will ONLY drink Diet Coke for the caffeine! NO CHOCOLATE! LOL We will see how this goes! Dee- Great job on your loss so far. You are doing great! Stick with it! It will work! cmiller - Congrats on your progress! You are doing great! I am sure you enjoyed you night out with your sister. It has to be hard to be a single parent all the time! You are going to be hot and sexy when he comes back though! Watch out world! LOL Hope everyone has a great week and weekend!

I am STILL alive, barely! LOL I survived the cruise, we had a blast. More food than you can even imagine. ididn't think I did too bad under the circumstances. We had a 24 hr pizzaria, 24 hr soft serve ice cream, one night a chocolate buffet! Can you see where I am headed! LOL After we got back from that I had 2 whole days to wash all the clothes adn repack myslef for Denver. OMG That place is BEAUTIFUL! So Off to Denver I went for almost a week. I averaged MAYBE 4 hours of sleep a night there. I was there on business and would end up in late night dscussions about god knows what now! So here is where I am as of today! Last weigh in (like FOREVER AGO) - 147 Today 151.2 Gain - 4.2 lbs I guess it could have been ALOT worse! On the cruise they did an On Deck for the Cure. A one mile walk on the track for breast cancer research. My mom and I participated in it. As we have every Race for the Cure since 2001, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. she is now an 8 year survivor. So I am saying I did manage to walk a mile while on the cruise. Not to mention the LONG hallways to get anywhere! LOL We all had a blast. The boys loved Camp Carnival after the first day. We would leave them there for dinner and they would ahve little parties and such. They made several friends onthe ship as did I. I met several ladies with kids the same age as mine. It was nice. This would be the ultimate vacation for people with teenagers who never stop eating, as all the food is included and they canhave pizza whenever they want! LOL Wel if anyone wants anymore specifics about the cruise just ask. I am back on track since returning from Denver. Have done well the last day and a half! LOL not that that is long enough to say back on track but hey! I am on my way! LOL Hope everyone is doing well! cmiller- congrates on all your loss while I was gone! You are going to be one Hot sexy mama when your hubby returns! Shayna |

Hi all! Sorry it has been soo long! Summer has been alot more hectic than I thought! Last wiegh in ( 3 weeks ago) 149.2 Today 147 Loss 2.2 total loss 38 lbs (only 2 more to go) Well we started out summer with a WONDEFUL stomach virus! I picked up my oldest at school on his last day and the teacgher warned that 2 kids had gone home with it that day, so watch out it might visit you too. Well it did! UGH!! I managed to lose 7 lbs in a day. it was horrible. Of course all that weight came back on as soon as I got rehydrated. Me and both obys got it and my hubby just had an upset stomach! Why do they always get the easy way out! This week my oldest is in VBS so I am playing taxi all week for that. We bought the kids a big swingset and the DH got that put up with a little help from me this week! So the boys are happy! It is SOOOO HOT here! I went out to help him and thought I was going to die! Gotta love those HOT Texas summers! The next 2 weeks the boys are in swim lesson and then one week off before our family cruise! Things are getting exciting around here. I hope everyone is doing well and staying on track. |

| I ate normal after both of my boys and lost all my weight PLUS while breastfeeding. Give your self time to heal before you push yourself too hard. It does take time. By 8 weeks I fit into my regular clothes after my first(Had to go back to work and the pre preg clothes did fit, tight but fit!). They were a little tighter but slowly got looser and looser. Good luck! I nursed both of mine for about 15 months each. As I said good luck and it does take time. It will start falling off. Relax and enjoy your little one! Boy do I miss those cuddly days! Mine are now almost 4 and 6! | |||

Official Weigh in day! Last weigh in 151 Today 150.6! WOOHOO! LOL Loss .4 whopping pounds! Total loss to date 34.4 LBS Well I guess a loss is a loss and I will NEVER see 149.8 even! LOL trixieu- my 3 year old will be 4 in August and yes he is full ypotty trained. He was SOOO much easier than my oldest. My oldest did the same as yours. He would pee in the potty astarting at 2.5 but refused to poop in the potty! It was SOO ristrating. not sure what we did but he finally decided to go in the potty and all was well after that. My youngest decided when he was 2 years 9 months that he wanted to pee in the potty, right as we were miving might I add, and had maybe one accident and he as done. he was the easiest ever to potty train. he still however pees everynight in his pull up! My oldest once he was potty trained never wet the bed again! I think my youngest will be in a pull up FOREVER at bedtime!!! He does so well for about a week then everynight for the next he will pee soo much that it overflows his pullup! ERGG! So I am washing sheets everyday! This week is the bad week! UGH! Good luck! I wish I had more words of wisdom for you. HUGS! Everyone is doing soo well! I hope to be able to report a number UNDER 150 next week! We shall see!! I leave in a week and a half for a weekend trip to Mexico with my hubby! Kids are staying at my parents! We are going to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! I am super excited! This is SOO going to show off my cheap side!! LOL I went ot my moms house the other night so she could help me alter my swimsuit from last year! I absolutely LOVE the suit and didn't want to pay $50 for another one! The top needed to be taken in! SO now I am all ready to go! I also went and got a pedicure yesterday! so my toes look pretty and my swimsuit now stays on my little boobs! and Mexico and some Mango Margaritas are calling my name! LOL Hope everyione is doing well still! Sounds like everyone is! Keep up the good work! |

Welcome back Amy! I was in Fort Worth for spring break! I actually live In New Braunfels. So it is perfect here and lots of parks and all but the 3 year old is hold me back! LOL I do try to take the boys to the parks alot but I can't really leave them and walk. I am with you, I don't exercise and I eat about 1200-1400 calories a day. I stay home with my 3 year old son. I also have a 6 year old that is in Kindergarten. So I get some but hcasing after them and CONSTANTLY picking up after them. I try to do walking lunges and abs when my son naps. I dont' think we have an "official" weigh in day. We all just do whenever and post it. have a great weekend! |

The weather has been great here but the thought of dragging a 3 year old with me on a walk doesn't sound the LEAST bit exciting! It has been in the 80's here all week. It is finally getting back to normal spring temps of 70's this weekend. Texas weather you gotta love it! We did go fly kites last week and the boys loved that, but that is one of those things where dh has to come. Me, 2 kids and 2 kites not going to work well! At least one kite and possible a kid would be gone! LOL I am going with my 2 SILs for a MUCH needed girls weekend on the Riverwalk in San Antonio this weekend! I can't wait! I do however know that food and probably alot of margaritas will be involved! LOL We will be walking to all our destinations so that should help! i am afraid of what the scales will say next week! cmiller: You can do it!! i like to move it move it! I like to move it move it! ( love that movie and that song!)

Welcome to Cristin and Strhythms! CC is great! I just found this gorup about a month ago and everyone is always very encouraging. I too am in the south, Texas, and the southern fried foods and the mexican food is killer! LOL i have learned I can eat ANYTHING in the right portions. I try not to deprive myself on anything I want as it will only make me want it more. I have learned that ice cream is good in SMALL portions! I LOVE the dreyers light! 1/2 cup is about 120-140 calories which is not too bad as a little treat after dinner. I have lost 31 lbs since Aug of last year. i have done little to NO exercising I have just completely changed the way I eat, in the portions. I try to stay between 1200-1400 calories a day. The first week I thought I was going to die! I was hungry all the time but over time my stomach shrank and all is good. Just wanted to let you know we are all here for you! You can do anythnig you put your mind to! I can't believe how well I have done and with NO exercise! Was the best part for me! I know I could eat more if I exercised but it is just not a real possibility right now. I have 2 young boys, 3 and 6, and my 3 year old HATES the gym here! I run and play with him so I figure I get a little! LOL I am here for you! We CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!

Last weigh in: 155.2 This week: 153.4 Total loss: 31.6 lb, SUPPOSEDLY only 1 lb to go, but I don't see that making me happy! These thighs still need help!

Ladies can I join you? I am 33, almost 34 sahm to 2 wonderful little boys, 3 and 6, OK not so little! I started cc in July 07 and have lost 28 lbs to date. I am about 5 lbs from my original goal weight. We will see if I am happy there if that ever comes. I did manage to maintain over the holidays, that was my goal. I was soo happy just to NOT gain any. I am 5'9" and 157lbs. I went dress shopping this weekend with my mom and tried on this one dress, cuz it was the only one they had and it was beautiful and a size 8, and it FIT! I was SHOCKED! We are going on a cruise in july so I would love to look better by then! Good luck to everyone! This site has done wonders for me and I love it! I never thought I would lose this weight this easy, with no exercise! LOL I know I am bad but with 2 kids my exercise consisits of running after them trying to keep them from killing each other and CONSTANTLY picking up toys and such! So I guess that counts! LOL
