Hope everyone had a great THanks Giving! Well Christmas is just around the corner... does anyone have a goal they would like to set for then? Pumkin pie was great, so was the turkey. DOn't think I over did it so that's a relief! Today I ran and went to the gym in the morning. Ladies I feel positive about losing this weight. Looking forward to supporting each other!

Heya javidsgirl... what part of Canada are you from? I'm in Calgary. That's 3 of us Canucks so far. LOL Well ladies, I ate my fair share, but no pumpkin pie for me... would you believe not one person in my family eats it? I think it's horrid stuff. And I should be thankful for that, or I'd be having my share of that too, with whipped cream. Christmas is just far enough away to really make a difference if we work hard at it girls. I haven't lost any weight *sighs* but thankfully I haven't gained any either. I'd ideally like to lose 20 pounds by Christmas, and I know I can do it if I really set my mind to it! I just have to really buckle down. Loved it sounds like you're doing fantastic... you go girl! Woo hoo! I bet you'll look absolutely stunning by Christmas with all that you're doing. I'd love to join a gym, but I know I wouldn't go! LOL Keep up the good work! Take care girls... I'm off to bed.

Hey Deb, I used to live in Edmonton. As much as I don't miss the winters, the mountains however they are breath taking. We used to go to Banff every weekend. We now live in St. Catharines not far from Javidsgirl. I hope things settle down for you.Having the gym in the condo will make it easier for you. Good Luck! MNmom slow and steady is good the weight should stay off that way. The gym is paying off, I can see some curves coming back that are in the right direction. How is everyone doing today?

Hiya javidsgirl... the weather here has been wonderful... not too cool and sunny almost every day so the +12- 15 temps feel great! I haven't been to Toronto in years and years... has it been warm there? Having a gym in your building sounds awesome! Why have things been so rough for you? And you can tell me to mind my own business if you like, I won't be offended... I only ask to see if I can help in any way. Christmas with our babies will be awesome! Loved... Are you from Edmonton originally? I used to live in Montreal, but moved out west over 20 years ago, and I love the winters here! LOL Edmonton doesn't get the chinooks that we get in Calgary, so that makes a huge difference. I'm really happy for you that you're seeing some curves... that must be an awesome feeling. One day I hope to get mine back. MNMOM, I agree with Loved... slow and steady is good, and you're going in the right direction so that's fantastic. Keep up the good work. With my in-laws here, I've been too busy with them to do much of anything, and of course we're eating out more than usual, so that doesn't help... and my baby blues haven't yet gone away. Hubby bought me a ring to try and cheer me up, but it didn't work... okay, it did temporarily, but that excitement soon fades. Sometimes I just feel so awful, I just want to put the pillow over my head, forget the world, and cry my heart out. Anyone else suffering from the baby blues? I hope not, cause they're awful. Anyways... it's time for me to catch some zzzzzzzs, as my little bundle of joy will be up in about 6 - 7 hours. Keep up the good work girls... I am so happy that everyone is doing so well. Take care!

i don't mind at all deb things have been rough the last few months becuase i lost my dad back in july then a month after i had my daughter whom my dad wanted so badly to meet but i know he got to see her anyways it just been hard because he always made the holidays so special and now with him gone i just don't feel the same about them but i am sure my dd will change that for me .i guess the hardest part of it all was the last day i talked to him he told me if he didn't get a chance to see me agian that he will be watching over me and i thought he was just joking or something so i just whatever dad and the next day he pa__sed away. anyways enough about that +12-15 sounds great it has been pretty cool here lately especialy at night i know it is to be expected with halloween closing in on us but i just love the warmer weather

Deb, YOU WILL have those s_xy curves again. It took me hitting a low of taking care of my appearance to get motivated. My DH came home and I was moping the floor in my son's baggy shorts and I think an excercise top that did not fit too well. My hair was up in a pony tailk which seems to be the norm these days and Jackson had just spit up on me. Can you picture just how attractive I was. For those of you who don't know me I have a 15 year old son (six foot tall) a 20 month old and a six month old. Half of the problem was that I just didn't feel like a women any more. Just a feeding station! Who needs to paint toe nails you can't see... right? Make up.. if it's not put on in the car it's not put on at all. Now I would love to wear s_xy underwear that will not be swallowed when I put it on. Hopefully not too much information! DId you have your tubes tied? I know my mood has been different during PMS since I have had mine down. Go out and pamper yourself to help cheer you up. Tell us all your thoughts and feelings and will can work together to support you. Go for walks to help your mood, better yet go walking in the mall to get your DD a beautiful Christmas dress to wear. I bought myself an Ipod and portable speakers that I attach to my stroller while I am running.. WHat a big difference that makes! Javidsgirls. I'm so sorry for your loss, my Dad pa__sed away 2001 the pain is so intense. He is watching you, I truly belive that. what help me was making a photo album for my two boys with pictures of my Dad (the two youngest never met my Dad) My oldest son is named after my my Dad as well as my youngest (middle name) Honour your Dad by keeping his holiday traditions alive.. You will have an amazing Christmas watching your daughters eyes sparkle as she takes in all her firsts. Hope that helps! My Dad pa__sed away from Cancer, we knew in advance that he didn't have much time. So much I wanted to tell him but he did not want to be treated like he was dying so I held back. Your Dad knows how much he mean't to you. I'm sure he saw all the love you had for him in his eyes every time he saw you. Tell me more about how he made your holidays special, I would love to hear.

Hi. Am I the only one that has gained weight since losing after the birth? I only gained 20 pounds during pregnancy- didn't have my same appet_te. I lost 22 within the first two weeks after giving birth- I got a nasty uterine infection which probably took a lot out of me. Since then (my daughter is 7 weeks old) I have gained back 6 or 7. So, I am now above my prepregnancy weight plus everything is flabby as hell and I have different hips and a belly. I am depressed. It is not motivating at all to go backwards. I looked better pregnant!Worst of all, my appet_te is back with a vengence......

Hi Ladies, Javidsgirl sounds like your Dad was a wonderful man. what beautiful memories you have to share and create with your daughter. The first Christmas is always the hardest, there are still so many days I reach for the phone wanting to chat wit my Dad. Any time you need to chat please feel free to do so. It's been a tough week with the boys! Two out of three are sick. Only one day at the gym and no running at all this week. Being over tired there has bee some over eating this week! Hopefully things will get back to normal next week! How is everyone doing with their weight loss? Take care!

Hello all! Well I gained a little extra I went from 120 to 165, but now I am back to 127 so I want to lose abt 10 lbs or so. I don't want to be unhealthy/skinny but I want to tone up. I think losing the last 10 lbs is pretty hard, so I've been told. I mostly have gained weight in my belly and lower body, but itleast I have lost almost 40 pounds not doing that much, just eating fairly healthy. I am thinking about joining weight watchers, anyone have luck with them to lose just around 10 lbs or so?

MNMom how do you find weight loss now that you have stopped bf? Alison the last ten pounds are always so frustrating, have you started to excercise? Megan have you tried filling up on nuts to try and curb your appettiate?
