After only losing 1 lb this week I am finally feeling better.  I did Biggest Losers cardio workout yesterday, and I just finished doing it and the boot camp workout.  I have been sticking to my goal of no more than 1300 calories too.  I really do hope to see me at 200 lbs Saturday.  You know what’s funny is that this time last year I was just starting and actually got down to 114 then depression and marriage problems took me over.  I began thinking that if my husband wasn’t happy with me having lost about 20 lbs then why do it.  Now is all different.  I am doing this for me, and I love it.  I like to make myself happy after all!  I might even do this new workout dvd I bought today called Dance Yourself Thin with Marie Forleo, it’s one of those prevention fitness system dvds. You guys heard of it?  Anyone out there use Yoga Booty Ballet, or Shaun T’s hip hop abs.  I was wondering about the cost you guys paid.  Thanks so much for being here!

I just jumped on it for some reason and it said that I was back at 203.  I know that I could not have gained a lb over night.  What is this??  Anyone know, maybe some water fluxuations or something??  Let me know what you think.  I am going to bust my butt working out.  I hope to be at 200 by Saturday!

Now I am officially a wild cat!!!  Now I can do it not only for me, but for my team, and I am ready to kick my own butt to get there!!!

Hey girls, I had my son in December 06 and my menstral cycle has been really messed up.  I know that it takes time, but last February I got the Mirena IUC and that is supposed to lighten it if anything.  Through the spring and summer I would have 3 weeks of it, then like 2 weeks off.  Then in about September it seemed like it had regulated.  I was having 1 for 1 week every month until November.  That’s when it started to be on for 1 week stop for a few days, start up again for another week, then have 1 1/2 weeks off and it starts all over again.  I am anemic and have a calcium deficiency so I take a multi-vitamin, and extra iron daily.  Since November I have been feeling exhausted, crampy, and just not happy.  I guess that my questions are:

Do you think that my menstral cycle can be what is making me so sleepy?

 Do you think that I may be needing even more iron since I am bleeding so much?

Do you think that I should call my doctor now, or it can wait until March when I will go for my yearly exam?

Thanks for being here guys.  My mom and I are not that close, and my sisters are really private if you know what I mean.  I just wanted some insight.  Thanks again

So today is my day 19 on this life change cycle.  I have lost 8.5 lbs and am happy with that.  With the new week I am somewhat excited, and worried.  I know that there is going to be a day where the kids don’t have school so they will be here driving me crazy.  Not my own, my nephews which I babysit.  They are very rude, rough boys.  That is how there mom raises them, so I can’t change that.  I just tell them that this is my house and they have to respect me!  So that has me stressed.  Not to mention that my son has been very grouchy lately.  How is it that one little 13 month old cutie pie can scream so loudly??!!  I am excited how ever because I am hoping to reach my next mini goal this Saturday.  I feel like it is something that I can do, but I am feeling like I could use some motivation.  Any suggestions?

I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks to you for being so sweet.  A lot of the time I end up getting judged by my age, but I am a devoted mom, and that’s just what I want.  I am working on my relationship issues, so I hope God helps me with that.  Thanks again for being so sweet, take care!!

Okay so I couldn’t wait til tomorrow to weigh in and went ahead today.  I met my 3rd mini goal which has me with an 8 lb weight loss in 16 days.  I am a little upset because I feel like I have been staying within my calorie intake, but not eating as healthy as I should.  I was doing great today, but then my Dad stopped by and brought Valentines Day sugar cookies.  He asked me to enjoy one with him and the kids, so I did.  He later was telling me that me and my oldest sister are his 2 biggest girls, but he loved us the same, what ever that means.  This is how us sisters go, oldest-Crystal about 250 lbs 5ft7, Sheri about 150 5ft3, Brandy 110 lbs 5ft5, and then me 203 lbs and 5ft5.  I know that it’s true, but it still hurt me.  I don’t think that he meant to hurt me, but he did.  Then he left and left the cookies here and so I ate 2 more cookies!  That was like 180 more calories!!!!  Now I am getting ready to do another workout just so that I don’t feel so guilty, but then I feel like an idiot since I did that without thinking.  Any suggestions?  Thanks guys!

So today my daughter is out of school driving my toddlers crazy.  I am upset because with her home my kids are not wanting to take a nap and without that I can’t workout.  I am hoping for at least a 2 lb loss when I weigh in on Saturday, but I need to push with all I have.  We have 3 inches of snow, and 1-3 more to come which will be topped with at least 1/4 inch of ice.  I have to find a way to do this with all the kids so that this summer I wont gain it back.  I have a long ways to go.  Any suggestions?

The last 24 hours my husband has been so mean to me.  I love him with all my heart, but he says that all me and the kids are is obligations that he has to pay for.  I don’t work out of the home because I have 2 small children and one that just went into kindergarten, but I do babysit for extra money.  We are not struggling so I don’t really see why he is being so hateful.  Sometimes I think that I should have found a mature man, instead of my 24 year old selfish mean husband.  I guess that you can’t help where your heart leads you though.  This is killing my diet though.  I didn’t go over my calorie limit, but I didn’t eat very healthy either.  I am really trying to nourish my body because even though I am 21 I have gave birth to 3 children within the last few years and I am anemic and my body lacks a lot that it should have because I have been constantly giving it to my children through pregnancies.  I need to find a way to get over this.  I hurt so bad and am finding that I am not wanting to exercise this morning or eat anything at all from the guilt of being so bad yesterday.  I would really appreciate any suggestions or support.  Thanks you guys.  I love you!

So I am trying to make a life change which will not only be healthy for me, but for my entire family.  My husband is being awful about this.  He is happy at his 275 lbs and doesn’t want my diet to bother him.  I have been trying to make tasty things for dinner that works with my diet too, but all he does is complain.  He doesn’t support me wanting to lose weight because it makes him feel threatened.  I really do need to find a way to make this work for both of us.  I don’t want to have to cook 2 meals every day for the rest of my life.  What do you guys think???
