Hey tammy.. i know the kiddos are keeping you busy. hope you are doing ok on the weightloss. we need to let our little ones gain the weight and us lose it.

Although i'm sure peyton is bigger then cameron even though he's younger. well keep in touch. talk to you soon.

Hey Heather Thank you and your kids are adorable and YEAH lol Peyton had is 6 month check up last MONDAY he weighed 21.3 lbs and 28 inches as well.I find it wierd but he is my biggest child as he grows but my smallest when he was born and another weird thing I was 200+ with my other ones and they were not that chunky at that age and I got down to 155 when I got preggers with PEYTON and lol looky we both are packing it on..I am glad your doing well and I do check on ya and check out the kiddies pics over in MYSPACE land lol..HUGGGS and CONGRATS on losing your doing great!

I wanted to share my feeling with everyone that has been there for me so you can maybe understand why I have been having a hard time with finding my way back to eating healthy and working out and BEING HAPPY (I am happy as far as a mommy and wife) BUT I mean HAPPY about myself,ANYWAY AS you all probally know MARGRETT I was chatting with her over in FACEBOOK and she had mentioned a challenge that she is starting over here so I need to get back into the groove of things..I copied down what I messaged her so you all can read

Thank you and you have came a long way and your very inspiring.I lost 105 lbs and I was so ontop of the world BUT when i got pregnant then having my hubbys family treat me and Peyton not like family the stress was to much for me and I have never found my way back to that ON TOP OF THE WORLD WOMAN I once was .I was never that thin ever in highschool I was always close to 200 then I was 250 pretty much from 18 on up so to see 155 that was a DREAM for me and sad thing is thats all it was because I gained so much with my pregnantcy and after I bet I am atleast 215 I havent stepped on the scale in over a month atleast.I have been thru so much and when I was losing weight getting fit and actually feeling like I was starting to look and feel prettier that feeling you just cant describe and NOW I am back to wearing the ugly clothes I dont like the way I look or feel there for my attitude really stinks ,I eat uncontrollably I really need that first week of success again to open my eyes ANY suggestions on how I can go about restarting that the right way so I will stick with it and not fall of for months at a time??

Well thank you for listening to me I feel like I have no one sometimes to talk about the weight issue and the emotions that goes with it.

Ok its been a while but here is my little (BIGman) Peyton he is already 6 months 21.3 lbs 28 inches long and hes getting his mama's BLONDE HAIR now that I dyed mine BLACK months ago he also has BIG BLUE EYES

GLAD YOUR GONNA BE BACK AROUND BABE

Im only a text, msn or pm awayPLEASE REMEBMER THAT

So glad to see you post! Seriously I am right there with you and it's HARD to get that wonderful momentum that took us both down to the 150's. For me this time I realized things had to change. I was feeling so bad about myself because I "failed" so many times to eat right and to do the things I needed to do to get in shape. So I had to step back. I know that being happy with myself needs to come first and then the weight loss thing. I know I will be happy when I am skinnier but I need to be happy with myself now so that I don't go in that shame pattern that causes me to eat crap and not do what's good for me and my body. So my solution: take it slow. So what if I don't lose any weight this week... I am going to at least make better choices some of the time. I switched to Fage yogurt with honey and blueberries or eggs and toast for breakfast. I try not to stock my weakness foods but if I do ( I had a carton of slow churned yesterday) I don't beat myself up and remember that it is a new day and that one slip up won't kill me. I try to repeat "eat to nourish" to myself all day so that I remember what I put in my mouth is not only going to affect my body and health but also my baby's since I am breast feeding (it doesn't work all the time but for the most part it does). I only weigh myself and count it once a week and I try to take small walks with my kids every night. They aren't anything long or crazy but it's out and it's relaxing.
I know everyone finds a different path but for me revamping my whole focus and forcing myself to take things slow has so far paid off. I am also trying to do a yoga dvd or a workout with baby dvd every day and if I miss a day no worries but just doing that 3 days a week last week has made a noticeable difference in my arms even if the weight is still there.
I totally feel for you and I know you can come out of this. Just with my mom having cancer I have been so much more aware of what I put in my body and I don't want to end up with cancer, heart disease and diabetes like she has!! But it's only going to stick if it's workable for life and the 1200 calorie diet that helped me lose 17lbs in a month when I first started this whole thing just isnt' sustainable... for me.
Hope that helps at all but at the very least I know where your coming from and I know you can do it! Don't beat yourself up because feeling like shit just doesn't help anything you know?
I am here for you too via email or whatever

Hey Tammy - I saw those great pictures that you put up on facebook at the pool. You really have a great bunch of kids there.

You asked me to let you know when I had put the scoresheet thread up in the challenge area. Well it is there now and ready for you to sign in.

The details of what you have to do are there too.

There is tons of exercise that I want out of you for points points points - but I am practical so you can combine it with being the busy person that you are. Run around with the kids and get points for sure.

As far as eating goes - make sure that you are getting plentry of fruit and veggies - but I am sure that you will be doing that anyway. A lady that lost 105 pounds knows how fruit and veggies are her friend in the kitchen. They wave a little flag saying "eat me!"

The only other thing is to post in a food ideas thread something that is yummy and not going to wreck the diet.

Just calling by to see how things are going regarding your project. You spoke of joining one of the more simple challenges but I havent seen you posting much here.

It was good to hear on FB that you had a good birthday. We all need to take time out and enjoy these special days as they come along.

Take care
