Re: Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

Angelz, I'm sorry I meant to add to my post and forgot.

Congrats on the weight loss 40 lbs is awesome!!!!

I was an inhome daycare provider for a couple of years too. I actually lost weight though. But, I got pregnant and gained it all back

I had a difficult pregnancy and ended up on bedrest so, I lost all my daycare kids and didn't have the energy to build back up. So I am not doing it anymore. It is hard work but very rewarding

Re: Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

No bikini for me. No amount of lipo or tummy tuck is going to change the stretch marks I will have from having 2 kids and gaining tons of poundage. By the time I have lost all the weight, I will have lost a whole person literally.... over 100 lbs. I lost a lot of weight and then got pregnant and gained it all back, plus some. Now I've lost 53 lbs total, with 62 more pounds to go total.

I take it 1 day at a time. If I'm having a bad day, I just realize that tomorrow is a new day and I will do better tomorrow.

Oh Please! I'm somebody's grandmother!

I like the concept, though. Do we get Margarita's, too??

WishN,

When I saw Mark lose by a pound I turned to my DH and said, this was the season of the one pound. It truly was. Which makes you really think that one pound can make such a difference.

It was definitely fun guessing their weigh when they got on the scale. The other amazing thing is you could really see that the longer they were at the ranch the more successful they were.

Maine! Kudos to you on doing the work out from BL. They really kick their bums on a regularly basis on that show. I am in ah!

Ugh, you guys are no fun....fine no bikinis, and I was going to suggest thongs...

I'm so down for the Margaritas....maybe we can do an experiment to see how drunk we can get without getting alcohol poisoning. In the name of science, of course.

A friend told me that the Biggest Loser exercise DVD's were really tough. Of course, I thought she was nuts - how hard could it be? Those folks are really large.

Well let me tell you ------ it was HARD!!!!!! And I only did the beginner level! My fanny and my thighs are KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!

I won't be doing that again for a few days. What a workout!

Besides my sore buns, this week is going really well. I am just so done with being too heavy the food choices are coming easily for me (for now anyway :-)
Tell me bout it I love both dvs.....

I am so glad that Allie won.

Fuuchan I will never be bikini ready, but i'm up for the cruise.........

Welcome to all those who just joined.

Tullosrn,

Fabulous on the scholarship! That is awesome! I am sure you will hear other happy news in the next week!

What a difference a week can make. I am down 2 pounds this week and hopefully another pound before weigh in for WW on Saturday. I have not been as good with the exercise but hopefully that will pick up as it's gorgeous out today!

Good luck everyone and Fuuchan....I might be down with that bikini for the cruise!
