Coming back for another go at this..

I have been MIA from here since Novemeber early November. I had rough time had my birthday then thanksgiving was sick with tummy bug and then got a cold and have been fighting it for last couple weeks.

Meanwhile wondering if I'm pregnant because we are using the Fertility Awareness Method to avoid pregnancy right now and we didn't use backup the one day we had fun this cycle(when we both were feeling good enough for it from colds and tummy flu) and I ovulated 2 days after(early by the way). Blah so I'm due today and tested but negative. So will test again in a couple of days if my lovely monthly visitor doesn't show. But if its negative I really got to get back to this weight loss issue.

I've been bouncing around in the 270's gaining and losing the same 10 lbs. LOL But frankly I'm sick of it. So tentively working on a exercise plan again and gonna do my own little Jan exercise challenge unless there is one going here and I haven't even read to try to catch up with everyone. I really really want to get to about 160ish(150 is my dream ideal weight) so I'm gonna work hard to loose if I'm not preggo but if I turn out testing positive later I will work to not gain a bunch by getting exercise.

On a side note my dad might be flying us to Florida in spring and I can't wait to know. I'm on about that anyway. I so want him to meet dd as he hasn't met her yet only seen pictures. He's excited for it too. If he doesn't fly us there he said he may fly here.

But still gonna be working on saving for a May 2006 trip to do Disney.

Anyway I'm embarassed to keep dropping back out of plan but I really want and need this weight to start going down. So I'm getting back to my Walk Away the Pounds dvd.

Welcome back Melissa! I too seem to come and go from this board, but the important thing is we keep coming back! We can win this weight war with the support of our friends here, so keep coming back no matter what!

I am going to focus on just maintaining for the next two weeks. Then it is back to a full blown effort come Jan!!! I so want to lose this extra weight - to be healthier and to be happier. Give some thought to joining us over on the journals as well. i think that helps a lot also! Best WISHES for success for you Melissa!!

Welcome back, I'm right there with you in being MIA. I think though I've been gone a lot longer. I am working hard on changing my mental attitude and thinking differently about things. You can do this and we all can, you've already started by coming back to the boards.

Thank you Tammy for replying.

Update a little since TOM appears to be showing up today finally 2 days after I expected her. Means I can concentrate on this weight issue now. Cramping a little too so may get in a workout while my dd and baby I watch take nap in an hour or so. Probably should do dd lunch now and babys bottle and hope they both go down at same time. They usually do.

Melissa - Welcome back! I know you can and will be successful. Nothing is worse than "waiting" to find out are or aren't you. It must be a relief to finally have your answer.
