Hang in there Tracylvn! It can be very frustrating with all the stress, work, kids (if you have them), husband (if you have 1)... life in general.

Just remember its like school is 1 class at a time and you get there. Well, 1 lb at a time and you will get there.

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

Wow, I've kind of been M.I.A. sorry about that. First of all, congrats to everyone that got into NS and welcome to all the 'newbies'. I hope everyone has been doing great and had a fabulous Mother's day. I've been getting better little by little. Yesterday was kind of crappy, it would have benn (technically is) our 6th anniversary so I was a little down. Other than that I'm pretty alright. I lost only 1 other pound (still have 23 left to go) It's coming off slow but hopefully that means I'll keep it off. How is everyone else doing?

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

Fuucan,

That's a loaded question for me today. My husband and I got in this horrible fight yesterday (mother's day of all days)... it happens every year because he hates his mother so he takes it out on me. I'm getting very tired of it.

On the upside. I lost 1 pound. 11 pounds down.... 29 more to go.

Fuucan hang in there. It does get easier. I've been through a separation and divorce myself.

Sorry to hear that Nightbloom.......
I am up 2lbs (probly due to TOM). I am going to step things up this week and give it my all, don't think I have been doing the best I can since we started this.
Hope everyone has a good week.

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

Sorry I have been gone so long. I have fallen off the wagon, and gained 2 lbs.

Stress!! but it's over now. I'm ready to start fresh and put all my effort into it.

I pm'd maine and I have not heard from her. I hope that she is ok. I asked her if she still wanted to do the stats.

Do you all still want to have our weekly stats posted? If so then go ahead and pm me and I wll start posting them on Mondays again.

I did not do well on my ANP 2 final but I had a 98.5 going into it so, I still got an A. I got A's in my other 3 co req classes too. So I am happy. All the stress and 2 lbs was worth it.

Now, begins the daily mailbox vigil. I should hear something between now and the first part of June. I hope it is sooner, rather than later.

I hope everyone is doing great!

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

Wishn, Hang in there! I'm praying for us all to get in.... although I don't know if I'm going to get in at this point. 2 As and 2 Bs for my prereqs, with an 85 on the TEAS test... I may not get in. I did apply for the LPN and the RN program though. I figure if I at least get into the LPN program, I can transition after my first year.

I've lost 3 pounds this week at this week's weigh in.... so for Monday's count - 3 pounds, down a total of 14 lbs since we started, 26 more pounds to go until September goal, and 56 lbs to go until my actual total goal weight.
