[Kaler131]

Ok, I haven't posted in a while....but I am down 6.5 lbs! I was at 192 last week, so I started getting serious about my Weight Watchers plan and now I am down to 185.5.............still got a L-O-N-G way to go!

WAY TO GO!!!!

It's so great that there is a thread like this and Way To Go for all the mamas losing on here

I have yet to return to the weight or the size I was before I got PG. I've been up and down A LOT! My lowest being (175). And though I've NEVER hit the highest I was again (220) I have come dangerously close just recently. That was my initial slap in the face to get moving. I have had a bad winter.

I started to watch calories and balance my carb/protein intake last Monday. So it's been a week and I am down 6 lbs.

I have a girls spa weekend coming up first thing in May and I wanted to be at least on the healthy track before I went. If I can do 5lbs a week until then I'll be in a good place where I'm comfortable (185). I am currently (195).

Then I'll have only 20lbs. to go to be back in my size 12s that I wore my whole adult life until I got PG. That I will do before WDW!!!!! I'm 5'8, and 36 years old.

If I could only get exercising that's my biggest problem.

Good Luck to you all

Just read the last page of posts here and you guys are cracking me up! I do have a question for all of you "well blessed" ladies - any great bra recommendations? I'm a D (small next to you all!) and my physical therapist said I have bad posture from the weight in the front. (I'd like to see him carry them around!) Any suggestions on holding the girls up w/ out killing your back/neck??

I also have a D or DD depending on the bra, have you tried Wacoal? I love my Wacoal bras!!! They are spendy but they put the girls where they belong!

UUUUG - I decided to try eggs again - I got egg beaters egg whites and had them with some turkey sausage for breakfast this morning. I swear, I haven't felt this sick in a long time! It took 2+ hours for me to feel good enough to get on the treadmill after eating it, and now that I'm done, I feel even worse. And on top of that, I promised DD3 that I would take her to the mall today (we haven't gone anywhere in a very long time with all my working out). Hope everyone had a better morning than me - and have a great week!

Do you have an egg allergy, or do they just not agree with you?

I don't know... I don't have any prob eating cakes with egg in them, so I don't think its an allergy, its only if I eat them straight. I'll be fine taking them off my menu - they give my kids sulfar farts anyway!!!!

Oh, yum!

It could be an allergy. My friend's little boy can't tolerate straight eggs - vomiting and hives ensue - but he can handle them in baked goods.

I was naughty yesterday - I only did 1 time on the treadmill, only one arm weight lifting, and only 2, 6 second ab sessions. I don't really care about the last two, but I can't believe I didn't get on the treadmill for my second run! My excuse was that it was to late, and also, I have these wierd callus/blisters on the back of each heal that are killing me. I don't know what to do about them, or really what they are... Oh well, I've already done my arms and abs this morning, waiting a little but to get on the 'mill so my breakfast can settle - only 2 more days till my weight-in, so I gotta put it in high gear!!!

PS - I sold the 4 items on ebay, and made a little over $600! Still don't know what to spend it on, but I'm not going to spend it on another purse!

Ooooh....$600? Nice!

I finally lost the PMS bloat, and got on the scale this morning. Down 3 pounds from last week, and I didn't even have a chance to do any exercise. I haven't really been eating much, since I've been worried about some stuff and my stomach's been in knots.

I really need to figure out good times to exercise. I feel so much better with a regular workout.

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

Are we the only two talking on here??
Good job losing 3 pounds - I do that and I work out like a feen!!! (though I thing I'm gaining a lot of muscle weight) About the "red devil" I'm on the 3 month bc - that means that I only get my period 4 times a year, its great! I don't have to wory about water weight everything, or anthing else. It is way more expencive than the regular bc, but my way around that is to get the free samples at my OB every few months! You should try it.

 

[thegrimdwarf]

I can't do the 3 monther because I've got a family history of blood clots. I can't do the patch, either. Boo-hiss!!!

 

[momma of 2]

have you tried the regular pill. my ob put me on the pill to regulate my periods and not for the typical reason for it. He put me on it 6 months ago and I almost never have a period. He said this kind pretty much stops your periods.

 

[thegrimdwarf]

I use Nuvaring. My periods are really light, and I don't have much of a problem with PMS - just bloating, really, because I crave salt and sweets so I eat pretzels and drink diet Dr. Peppers for a day, lol. I don't do a ton of salt on a regular basis, so when I add some, I plump right up like a sausage. It's way sexy!

WAY TO GO!!!!

Thanks!!!!

 

[lulu2]

So, I weighed in at WW on Tuesday night and the total for the week was..................3 pounds. That makes a total of 7.2 since 4/1/08. YEAH! My mini goal is to hit 10 pounds lost by Tuesday. Gotta get walking!

Keep up the good work everybody!

(PS.. It feels so good to wear loose pants)

 

[JonS99]

If you don't mind, I am going to hop in, might help me lose a little weight... At Christmas I was at 244, right now I am at 222, but would REALLY like to get under 200 when we head to WDW June 7.. So I need a 50 day push to drop another 22 pounds, ideally I should be at 175ish so the spare tire is gone, but thats the "down the road" goal..

 

[tmatthews]

2nd week on nutrisystem and lost 1.5 so that makes a total of 7.5 in two weeks. I was a little disappointed that my loss wasn't greater this week but the total is good! I did cheat on my ds bday...gotta love soft pretzels! I also need to exercise a lot more...getting in about 3 days a week. so here's to a new week!!!

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

Tomorrow is my weight-in, so I'm getting a lot of in today! I've been on the 'mill for my 40 minute walk/run, and I've done my 6 second abs and arm weights 2x already ( I think the ab machine is starting to work ). I'm pretty proud of myself all-in-all, though dissapointed that I only got on the 'mill once on Tuesday - just hope I lose at least 3 pounds this week (and every week!) becaues I really want o turn my signature ticker from 35 pounds to 40 pounds!!! I just feel bad because I'm so focused on exercising, that I'm not taking the kids out as much as I usually do - not that we have the $$$ to take them to the mall everyday anyway! Now that its starting to get nice out, I'm going to atleast start taking them outside to play ball or go for walks.
DH and I are taking the girls to the Please Touch Museam tomorrow in Philly, and then we will walk around the town when we are done. I don't know Philly at all, but DH was a semi-pro skateboarder, so he knows the town well from skating it. Good luck to everyone this week!
