Amy that's great to have lost the weight of your last 2 kiddos! I have 4 and it feels sooh good to fit into some pre pregnancy # 1 clothes! (yes I still have them:) Let's keep going!

just wanted to see how everyone was doing, please post to let us know!!!

I thought I had been doing really well last week but stepped on the scale yesterday morning and was really disappointed...it hadn't moved in the right direction! I have lost 12.5 pounds and it has been very s-l-o-w going so far. Sometimes it's hard to be patient (I tell that to my children all the time and need to remember it myself!).

I need people like you!

Welcome, iowamichelle! Glad you joined our group.

Hi Michelle! I'm glad you're here. You own a salon? That's awesome. I'm going to cosmetology school when I get my smallest ones (3 years and 23 months) off to school. Best of luck to you.

sorry I havent weighed in ladies!!! I have been on vacation and wont return home (or to a scale thank goodness!) till sunday night...I might weigh in monday morning though I am soooo scared too!!

I dont feel like i have done *too* bad considering but no where near as healthy as i would have at home.

Vacations are always hard, especially during this time of year. Just keep hanging in there!

thanks leeser,

I just figure as long as Im still fitting into my size 8's (started at an 18) I cant be doing too bad...as long as i havent gained over 5 pounds I think i can accept it...BUT then as soon as I get home i have thanksgiving a few days later...eeek!!

I am so happy to see some new ladies joining us!  Awesome & a big welcome to you!

This week was ROUGH!  This is going to be pure venting, but I know mom's can appreciate how all of this piled up.  So, my hubby was out of town and our youngest got sick - vomiting and so on.  We had to start antibiotics a week ago b/c she was still vomiting and then got an ear infection.  BUT that started diarhea just in time for the work week to start again for my DH.  SOOOO - I cleaned up a baby swimming in diarhea multiple times but my favorite was 3 mornings this week...in go all of the sheets, etc.  THen my son and I got food poisoning on Monday night which lasted through Wednesday so we were both vomiting.  That poor little guy threw up 8 times overnight and hit the bucket each time.  So as of this last Friday we are all better and our DD is off of antibiotics.  THANK GOD!  I was just happy to be logging my calories this week.

I did drink my water on days when I was not sick and was only over 1 day this week.  But I ate a lot of take out pizza which I hate b/c I know the calories are not accurate.  I did exercise 3 times last week.  This next week will be better!!!

Cati is getting back tonight so we will see if she has a challenge for us.  Otherwise we will go with one rec to do squats or leg lifts each time we brush our teeth or something. :)  I like that one!

I hope you all are doing well!

Whoa, hildieb! Your poor family! I'm glad you are all better. I can handle it when my kids have colds and fevers but vomit/diarrhea is almost too much for me! 

Hildieb, I feel your pain. I can remember when 3 of my four had it coming from both ends. I was Lysoling and bleaching everything LOL! My husband was great though. He would pick them up to clean them and get all covered in yuchh himself. I hate for them to be sick.

VERY empathetic "oh you poor mommy!"

Thanks for the validation ladies!  My heart aches when they are sick.

CHALLENGE Week 11/19-11/25:  Do lunges, squats or leg lifts every time you are brushing your teeth.  I try to do ones where I am squatting and then lift my calves up and hold for 3 seconds and then lower.  Vary it and have fun! 

sorry ladies! my flight got delayed and they put my luggage on the wrong plane...I was NOT happy when i got home monday morning! LOL

on the plus side I weighed in this morning (gave myself 1 day detox for all the water weight from not so good for me foods...which just means I ate healthy and drank a TON of water) and I was just hoping I didnt cross back over into the 140's. well...I weighed in at 1 pound LESS then when i left for vacation!!! how the heck THAT happened I have no idea!!!

Good for you Cati! That is awesome! Who knows how you did it, but take it and run :).

Welcome home!

happy thanksgiving ladies!!!

weighed in today and I am officially down 50.6 pounds!!!! sooo thrilled! still going to treat myself today, lets hope it doesnt push me over and under that 50 Lb. mark! BUT if it does...im not worried! I love thanksgiving foods and it only comes once a year :)

That's right Cati. It only comes once a year and I'm not going to pig out, but I will enjoy some things I don't normally eat. Yum! Happy Thanksgiving all!

hope everyone had a lovely thanksgiving for those in the States, and for those who do not celebrate it, hope you had a great Thursday!

I did go way over my caloric goals but NOT above my burned amount!  I shouldn't gain from this, but gotta get back on track for Christmas.... sigh...

booo do I HAVE to weigh in tomorrow morning!!!???? last time I did that I was up 1 pound from the time before...Im scared!!
