Hi Ladies! I'm on pins and needles waiting for the UPS truck with my STS! This would be the time it gets lost or something. Usually they deliver here around 1:00 and its 2:15. Sometimes it's as late as 5:00, though....I am such a freak.:eek: Kate--He has Osgood/Schlatter's disease--it's...

ITA--Kathryn--you look fantastic! Maggie:)

Jenn--I am lifting your nephew in prayer to my Heavenly Father--healing for the little one, peace for all of you, and wisdom for the docs and others caring for him. (((hugs))) Please keep us posted! Maggie

Hi ladies-- Busy weekend for me--I need to sneak in some triceps work tonight with ds 14. Doc said he had Osgood-schlatters disease yesterday--a common bummer for growing boys--physical therapy is suggested and here's my chance to bug dh for a spinning bike when we get our tax refund:p...

Hi Ladies-- I hit a new "low" on the scale today, so that means I can call and make a badly needed hair app't--I'm using a rewards approach for every goal I meet. Now I have 15 lbs to lose to get to my pre preggo weight (with 55 gone--like 37.5 of that was baby and water, though). I can't...

Hey ladies--I'm typing with both hands and nursing--she'd such a little piggy now, that she won't fall off-- Kate--school is going well. I have my moments of freaking out, but I think some of that is just those lovely hormones. And yes, I'm getting STS. It left Pennsylvania yesterday and is...

I just lifted you up in prayer. Take care. Maggie

I got mine too, but it won't arrive until Feb 2, as I live on the west coast. That's okay, I'm going to finish my current rotation this week, then I'll have a rest week to preview STS before I start. I am so stoked! I can't remember my order number, but I ordered within the first hour on the...

Jen--Ugh--I have a huge belly too. I think with every baby, I get more visceral fat in my belly that is very hard to shake--no let's rephrase that--easy to shake, hard to get rid of.:mad::confused::eek: When will you be able to workout again? In the meantime, take it easy. Maggie:)

Hi Lisa-- I was going to start posting again last week, but there was no thread! I suppose I could have started one, but felt funny about it, because I haven't participated in so long. Gwen is a big fat baby--really--98th percentile for both weight and height--at least she's proportional...

For Valentine's Day, we usually make a feast and include the kids. This year it will be sea food crepes with wine/cheese sauce and a 6 layer chocolate cake a la Martha Stewart. Last year it was individual beef wellingtons and chocolate mousse in the shape of a heart. We decorate the table and...

These would be great--I just want more Cathe cardio period, now that we've got STS to keep us busy on the weights for a while. Maggie:)

Now that's a success story! You utterly rock! Thanks for sharing your pics and stats. Maggie:)

The horror of child abuse hit me a whole new way when I had children of my own--a visceral sadness and anger that I can't even really put into words. Maggie

Morning sickness sucks and that's all there is too it. I've had it with every pregnancy to varying degrees--from just an icky feeling to vomiting if I looked at or smelled something that grossed me out. I think the first trimester is just survival mode--get through it the best you can. For...

Clarissa--I'm sorry you are going through this. I just said a prayer for you. Please take good care of yourself and that precious little one. (((hugs))) Maggie

Kate--just as I was ready to join the pp thread again, it wasn't there! Oh well, Baby Gwen is fine and fat (98th percentile for both weight and height:eek:). I posted some new pictures of her. School is busy and I feel swamped, but we are in a routine, so it all feels easier. Congrats on...

Hi there, I bought the 25 foot length of black tubing and went from there. I cut two largish pieces from it, tied them off tightly to make loops and then sort of wrapped them around the bar until they hung down at the right length to give me the right support. My system is kind of unsightly...

I think we feel (at least I do) that we have to have some big dramatic story to consider it a success--but I love your idea and feel inspired by the thread, so I'll play. I gained 70 lbs (:eek::eek::eek::eek:) with baby number 7 born in August. I lost 37.5 lbs (water) in the first 2 weeks, but...

How totally infuriating and disrespectful. If my dh didn't take my part in a situation like this, there would definitely be some conflict in the marraige. What does he say about this? And do your inlaws show a lack of respect for boundaries or personal property in other areas of your life? I...
