re: Weight loss journey

Quoting ~*~ Nichole ~*~:" That's awesome I'm so happy for you!!! "

thank you so much!

Why haven't your levels gone to zero?? I'm sorry that your going through this whole ordeal  

The weight will come back off, just focus on moving home first!

Nichole, congrats on a girl!!   That's exciting you already found out!

I'm moved back to MT and Seth is gone. It's actually been a lot harder than what I thought it would be, I miss him terribly. But I'm getting through it!

Today I started back on track. Green smoothie for breakfast and lunch, with a light dinner tonight. I'm also doing Power 90 when I'm off. I plan on starting Insanity, possibly on Sunday. Which, I'm also not weighing myself until then.  

I hope everyone else is doing well! And I hope we can get this thread active again.

I'm happy that your doing well! I bet it's a huge adjustment to not have Seth home. I wish I could exercise, but I still have that first trimester extreme fatigue and MS, even though I'm about to start my 18th wk on Friday. Seriously wth? Idk my iron levels are good and all blood work comes back normal every time but i'm so exhausted each minute of every day. I hope it lets up soon so I can reactivate my gym membership and get back in there! I've not gained too much weight, but with how much I weigh it'd be nice to let the pregnancy work with my body and lose some. I eat pretty well, my cravings are salad, fruit, ice tea, and nachos lol I don't indulge in Nachos often though.

We are so freaking excited about having a girl! OMG!  

I would love to get this thread active again, I've let it die a bit since I've been so freaking sick, but I am on BG more now and feel well enough to start my prenatal yoga and go from there! I will go update my weight now. Hate how mine will be going up though instead of down hahaha, yes I KNOW i'm pregnant but weight gain is a hard pill to swallow for me at any time!

Do you have any names picked out yet?  

It really is an adjustment, but I really don't know if I'll ever get used to it. I'm already counting down the days until he's back. LOL.

I really wish you felt better, though.   I'm sure the prenatal yoga will help a little bit once you can get the energy to do it. Don't worry about the scale going up though (I know, easier said than done!)

My mom called me yesterday and told me she's taking me on a cruise to help me look forward to something during this deployment. So we're going to the Caribbean's in November!   I definitely need to lose weight though, because there's no way I'm going on a cruise and not wearing a swimming suit.

Aww that is awesome! Well November is plenty far enough to get bikini ready! You can totally do it!

We have NO names picked out lol. I mean like nothing sounds good enough!

I can't wait to feel well enough to really workout but I think i'll start the prenatal yoga tomorrow when I'm home alone. Hopefully it won't make me too tired, like walking upstairs makes me tired lately  

Can people still join??  

Quoting          :" Can people still join??  "

Absolutely. Tell me what name you go by and your starting weight (todays or recently) and I will add you to the OP!

Yeah, I figure if I can stick to my diet/exercise plan and lose 10/month, I can lose 50 by then! Then when I get back, work on toning everything for Seth's return.  

Names are the hardest, lol. We have at least 5 girls names picked out, but I swear when we get pregnant with a boy - it'll be nameless until he's probably 6. Not even kidding. LOL.

I wonder what is making you so tired.   Especially with all your levels being alright. I really hope you don't have to go through this until the end.

Quoting ~*~ Nichole ~*~:" Absolutely. Tell me what name you go by and your starting weight (todays or recently) and I will add you to the OP!"

My names Amanda. I started my weight lose journey April 5th at my top weight of 267lbs. As of yesterday I am down to 241lbs!!

Yeah Idk what it is, but it has concerned my Midwifes enough to order quite a bit of testing, including early GTT testing. So far all is normal, I go tomorrow to take my GTT   I just hope I can keep that nasty drink down.

Our last son wasn't officially named until he was born haha!

10 lbs a month is do-able, easier in the beginning then later on but by then your muscle mass and endurance will increase so you can up your exercise to help you lose. I have complete faith in you!

When does Seth return?

Great job so far! Added you to the OP. So what have you been doing so far to lose weight?

Quoting          :" My names Amanda. I started my weight lose journey April 5th at my top weight of 267lbs. As of yesterday I am down to 241lbs!! "

Welcome Amanda!  

I'm Alyssa.  

Quoting ~*~ Nichole ~*~:" Great job so far! Added you to the OP. So what have you been doing so far to lose weight?"

My doctor has me on a diet of only 20 total fat grams a day and an appetite suppressant. I also have been walking about an hour ever other day, which isn't much I know, but with the LOs I'm lucky to do that lol.
