You can do it if anyone can, dear! :clap_1:

thanks, DD. Wish that were true, but your confidence in me has certainly inspired me... I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

Tootsie, I didn't get a chance to tell you yesterday how great you look - LJ's got one hot mama!

thanks ... you are the one that looks like a million. I'm just getting around to losing my baby fat (4 years and counting). you look like the picture of health and who would know that you JUST had a baby???:clap_1:

Hey y'all. Just wanted to tell you that I'm joining in. Its great what you all are doing. I've been quietly fighting my own weight battle, especially since having a baby 2 1/2 months ago. I was content to eat sensibly and loose weight slowly while nursing. The exercise part has been more difficult--there are no gyms in SoWal that have childcare. I've also had issues with sleep deprivation because I've been getting up my baby.

Well, things changed a few weeks ago when I got very sick for two weeks. Major antibiotics and other meds. I couldn't eat, etc. Needless to say, my milk dried up and I'm no longer nursing. I did lose about 12 pounds and it has motivated me to keep going. Also, now that I'm not nursing I don't have the luxury of the extra calories.

So, just wanted to say "hi" and I'll be checking in frequently. Keep up the good work.

CCK!!!! Sorry to hear you were so ill....bummer. Hope you're feeling better. Hey, 12 lbs. is 12 lbs. no matter how you do it, at least that's my philosophy.
Monday mornings are weigh in--I'm just flat terrified about tomorrow!!

hey Kid:

thanks for joining in. so sorry to hear you were sick - Lord knows, you don't have the luxury of being sick!!! glad you are okay and ready to get yourself healthy. but, being a new mom, I hope you will take it easy on yourself for a little while longer. Maybe you can start by doing the little things: establish a habit of lots of water drinking all day, watch your portions, and get out for a walk.

I'm gonna call your butt!

Are we avoiding this thread or what? Ok....I'll admit it, I've been bad. But I did weigh this morning and I again didn't lose or gain. So, I'm happy. And thanks to another thread, I'm eating shrimp cocktail for lunch! Mandarin oranges too, and water. So far a relatively healthy monday.
Come on out girls!!!

DD - I was in a hurry and didn't weigh in this morning and now its too late and ain't no way I'm weighing myself at 2:23pm. no sirrreeeee. I'll do it in the mornin'. I'm pretty sure I haven't lost or gained... which means I need to do something about my fitness plan of action...

I totally understand! Not losing though, is better than gaining, the way i see it!!
I also bought apples today! Thanks Paula for the idea!

 

[Teresa]

oh yes! sowellers, if you want to join me, DD and Paula in eating apples all week - I think its a good goal.... I'm going to do that now... thanks for the reminder DD.
