Hello Ladies,

It looks like there are several new members but know one seems to be checking in   We should have once a week check and have every talk a little bit about their weight loss journey....also talk about being a mother for the 1st time. 

I will start...I started using another website for calorie counting for a few weeks.  I hated it so I am back here.  I had a few bad days in terms of calorie counting and went way over my limit of 1400.  I am ok with that since all my jeans from last year or too big and the scale agrees. 

My daughter is saying "momma" and I LOVE IT! She says it when she wants me to pick her up, and she is only 9months old.  I must admit her father praticed a lot with her and she says it just like he taught her, she folds her lips to make the "mmuuu" sound.  She also has the funniest crwal I have ever seen but she moves really fast. Lastly, I have had a field day shopping for her fall cloths...I love having a little girl!

Goodness attygnorris, our pregnancies sound just (gained 63lbs)  a like and we both had girls...my daughter is just one month younger then yours. It sounds like we have the same about of weight to lose.  Welcome!

Hi Everyone, I am moving to another site for calorie counting but before I go I wanted to say..

Good luck to everyone on your mission to lose weight. 

Take care and be healthy

Hello all and welcome to all new comers,

Ladies- thanks for the feedback despite the guilt I have been working out since my little one was 6 weeks old, just wondered if the feeling was normal, sounds like it is.

Manata515- good luck with the marathon training!  I can't wait to complete my 1st marathon.  I had planned to do one around my 30th b-day but that came and gone.  So I plan to do it sometime soon.  I am unable to run at the moment, I am  using the elliptical.  I have a shin split and I am waiting for it to heal.

ove2hatetreamills- Running with music really helps me with distance running.  However, you MUST be careful running with music for safety reason.  You need to be able to hear what’s going on around you. But when you are on the treadmill listen to music and see if that helps. 

Shellamy- A little tri-athlete...wonderful!

Remeen36- what a sweet story about your son! 5miles …Keep up the good work!

Lynnhaslost- make sure to take pictures when you get into those outfits of your mother's.  You seem to be a hard worker so I know you will be in them in no time. 

Hello everyone and welcome all new comers

renee and Jenn-I agree with Manta and ladykelien- you are able to run, that feeling that you have "lungs on fire" happened to me until I got in shape.  Remember your lungs and heart use muscle function, once those muscles are strengthen with exercise you will be able to run more.    It takes practice and hard work.  I would suggest creating gaols.  While you are working towards them you will become even more fit. Also since you all are smokers you could be feeling something I am not aware of so consult with your doctor before you set running goals.

 Lindsay- Girl, you worked it out this weekend with 2 1/2 hours...WOW, I could never do that having an 8month...I remember when I could... thoes were the days. And having the boyfriend workout with you is awsome.

Mollie- keep your head up! hang in there.

Welcome Laurie-It sound like you are on the right track having lost 20lbs.  I think counting calories will help you get the last  10lbs off, but if you could exercise that would help even more.

Hello All and welcome any newbies

The weekend is almost gone...weekends are the hardest for me, but so far so good. Saturday I was even under my calorie goal.  I ran a local fundraising race with my daughter.  It was great but running with a stroller is hard as heck.  My time was awful.  So I have some running goals to accomplish now.  I weighed in and I lose 3lbs so just 15 more to go before I feel fabulous.  I am already looking online for fall clothes.

I hope everyone had a fat-free, low calorie weekend.

Thanks for the encouragement babybelly1...congradulations on the new baby!

Ok, ladies I need a place to vent...today is my fourth day on my journey to lose weight. So far so good!  I realized today how much I hate looking at my body in the mirror.  I want to lose this weigh so badly I could scream!! I am picturing myself in a nice pair of “skinny” jeans, with a nice turtle neck and some fabulous boots this fall.  I don’t need the belly rolls plugging from my sides!!   My biggest fear this time is that I will give up AGAIN… I can't afford to give up this time. 

libtay- I am a newbie myself but welcome.  I look forward to losing lots of weight with you!

debcowan-Feeling skinny counts for something---Good luck at weigh in!

lynnhaslost- girl I got to stop now….when I try to eat a little bit I get carried away.  Today is my third day and so far so good I don’t miss the bad food until I see it.  Even then I don’t want to eat.  I read your profile WOW, you have done well! Congratulations!  Hopefully in a few months I will be feelin real good and about 10,15 maybe 20lbs lighter!!

And  the boyfriend working out with you is THE BEST!!

Room for one more!    My ultimate goal is to lose 30lbs….I am currently 163 and 5’5.   I just started CC on Monday (for the fourth time this year!).  I have been trying to lose weight since January when my daughter was 2months old. My goal is to be 130 before her 1st b-day in November.  I would love the support.

Hang in there Lulufit....I know how it is!
