Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Morning gals! Well, today is Monday, but TOM has caused me some major water weight gain!!!! I'm not going to report until next Monday, when it should be gone!

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Hey Allie! I totally understand the TOM issue. I'm finally going back down, and I'm FINALLY a pound away from pre TOM weight! I can't wait! LOL It takes forever!

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Okay, don't hate me for tis but I just had my 1st TOM since my 8 month old was born (Had my tubes tied then too) and I actually whooshed the 2 days before! And...never went up! Weird, I know - I would never have even seen it coming! Of course, it sucks to be back in the TOM stage of life again!

Got my workouts started up...Family is finally getting well - THANKS for all of your support!

Rikki - OMG!! Your new pic is absolutely beautiful!

jsj- What a great job you are doing keeping all of us straight! LOL! Glad to see that DH is being supportive now...It makes a big difference!

divaindubai- Welcome!!

allierw26 - I am always in awe of your pics! I hope my face is showing as much progress! I thought just the other day that I needed a before pic and, sure enough, as I was excercising at Curves today - There I was in all my "before" glory on the wall in a pic! I told them I would just have to have that when I get to goal!

Elsie - Just think of the added calories you are burning with your remote search, haha!

Here's to hoping that this is a great week for us all!!

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Hey girl!!! It's so great to see you! I'm so glad the family is getting better!! And great job with those exercises!!

Oh, I am sooo jealous! I gain, which yuo all know b/c that's all I b!tch about anymore, AND I got TOM not even 2 months after having Joey! You really lucked out!!!

So, what's your new weight after this whooshie of yours?!

I'm so glad to see you back.

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Hey cypressgirl! Thanks for the kind words. Sounds like you are doing great!

You know, I usually don't gain too much before TOM...I don't know what's going on! I did start working out more, so I guess that could be it, too. Ugh! Maybe my scale just hates me. I'm gonna go let my dogs stomp on it for awhile, I guess!

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

jsj- the whoosh was what got me here! I weigh in again on Wed. I breastfed so my TOM was gone longer due to that...Actually, I breastfed my first son for the entire first year and TOM didn't come back until he was like 18 months old!

I was wondering...Do you guys have specific "trigger foods"? I ate some sugar free strawberry jello w/ whipped cream like three days ago and I have been fighting the urges ever since! It was the first sweet thing I had other than diet soda. I mean it has been really hard to try to ignore the cravings! Aarrgghhh, when will it go away??

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Hi guys! Looks like all is well around here. The &^%*&%* scale jumped on me today, I think it may be water, we will see... 189.8 I still maintained to be in the 180s though, so I went to the tanning bed before going to the gym- I am feeling good today. Hopefully the scale will be nicer to me tomorrow!

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Hey everyone. I am not feeling so great tonight for some reason. I just feel really dizzy for some reason. I did manage to get in 132 oz today! I am excited about that. Maybe my weight will be back down to pre-TOM tomorrow. I'd love to start losing again, that'd be nice! LOL I am really starting to doubt myself. I don't think I can make my goal by the 24th. I am going to do my best. I checked out fitday and I have to lose 3.5 pounds a week to make it, which is what I average, but that means I have to lose NOW! LOL

Anyhow, I am going to lay down. I am so tired and just outta it. Good night everyone.

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Hope you feel better soon! You need to take it easy! Even if you don't make goal- you are doing great and losing the weight! That is what matters!!!!! not how fast you do it! Althoguh, I know how ya feel! lol

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Thanks rikki. I don't know what's wrong with me. I never feel like this. I am just down today Mentally, physically, but unfortunately not the scale. I am so excited about going to talk to my priest tomorrow though. I hope I'm feeling better by then!

You are so right about the weight thing. It matters that I am doing my best, but I am still DYING to actually make goal, just once in a challenge!! LOL

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

I know- but we will get there! Mine went up today too, I really know how you feel. I met my first goal this challenge, but I was really really hoping to meet my second one!!!!

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Girl, you can do it!!! You are only 4 pounds away! LOL You have been dropping pounds like no one's business lately! That's like 1.3 pounds a week! You can sooo do it! LOL. Promise you'll wait for me at the finish line

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Hello all! Just finished setting up a few images in my gallery if you want to pop over. Beware: it includes a hideous "before" photo (the only one I have on digital, I think)....

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Well, the scale wants to stay stuck at 189.8 I guess, better than 190! lol I feel bloated and I think maybe tom is coming.... who knows, I never know when ol auntie is gonna stop by... anyway, I am just gonna keep on truckin and hope these pounds just keep melting off!!!! Now, to go do my situps for the day... actually I have a bunch to catch up on since I didn't do any yesterday!!!
