Just wondering if there are any other check ins besides for the WW one? Its not that I don't want to join that one but Im not on WW so it would be pretty point less.:)
Any way...for those of you who don't know. I just had a baby 3 weeks ago and I have 18 lbs to lose. Im gonna start working out again today and watching my food intake so I thought I would join a check in.

Lori-
I'm in WW Checkin but havent done program in 5-6 months... I am finally within 3-5 #s of goal! Small group so its easy to keep up! Come join us!!!
 
Lori,
If you don't join WW I'll join you in just a weight loss one. I've never joined a check-in because, well, I don't know why. I need to lose about 15 lbs, and I DIDN'T have a baby! LOL! I just had crazy life getting in the way and now I'm paying for it! BUT...I'm back on track with my running. I move into a bigger house next week (YAY) and I'll have my own space for my Cathe's again too. I've probably only gained about 10 lbs (ONLY!!!) but I had about 5 before that that I was working on. My workouts have been sporadic, but with the new Cathe's being released I've been trying to squeeze those in, and every once in awhile, I'll grab an oldie but goodie too.

Anyway, how is your baby doing? How much time off work are you taking, or are you going back? 18 lbs is not much to lose at all, if I remember correctly you ran quite a bit more than I do.

Lori, Brandi, we on the WW thread are using all kinds of clean eating methods for weightloss - it's certainly not tied to WW and you are both very much welcome to join us -

Hi Girls,

Thanks for the invite. Since it isn't focused entirely on WW, I think I will join.

Brandi, the baby is doing good. He as his fussy moments but they aren't that bad. I had a hard night a couple of nights ago but last night was good. I did my first workout today and I didn't realize that my D boobs that are filled with milk were going to be such a issue. Man they HURT! Im gonna have to invest in a really good sports bra.
I did run alot before and I don't know how much I will be able to fit in when I get back to it. I think my summer runs will be pretty good cause Ill take him with me and his eatings will be further apart.
We just moved in to a new house in Nov and I don't have my own workout room anymore. How weird is that? My treadmill still isn't here yet, its in storage but I have to get DH to bring it home. But after todays workout I realize how much I have to get my endurance up.
I guess I will be chatting with you gals tomorrow. Im not sure how long it will take for this weight to come off. It may fall of with Breastfeeding OR I may keep the fat on until I am done.
Lori:)
 
Thanks UtahGal for the invite :) I'm determined lately to get my focus back and I REFUSE to buy bigger clothes. I haven't had to yet! So...off I go again tonight for another run on the treadmill!

Lori, I'm sure your endurance will come back quickly. I'll bet it felt good to be at it again. I know I used to hate rest days, lately I'd gotten to the point where they were all mostly rest days. This week I've only had one (yesterday) and I was already missing it.:eek:

Brandi, it felt great to move again! I didn't exercise when I was preggo b/c i was afraid I would miscarry and then blame myself. So I started walking but my back acted up....so that was that. I think if I get pregnant again I will continue to workout.
Im not sure what my workout will be tomorrow but I have a feeling that I am going to be sore from todays workout. Maybe I will do cardio and weights or lowmax. Plus I still have the new workouts to try!
See ya tomorrow!
Lori

Oh...DH just brought home Toll House ice cream! I don't think he wants me to lose the weight!!!!!!!!!
 
Shrinking Violets!!!

Lori, you are more than welcome to join the Shrinking Violets check-in. After all, this is the 12-week challenge check-in you started last year. ;-) We wanted to keep checking in after the 12 weeks, so this is our new name. Congratulations on your baby! :)

Traci, I love your avatar! :) Which one are you?

Brandi, we would love to have you too. The Shrinking Violets check-in is open to anyone who wants to join. We are a small but friendly group. Everyone is very supportive and encouraging. It is my goal to shed 100 pounds in 2007. I have already dropped 10 pounds in 3 weeks and have 90 pounds to go! :7

Cheryl, my friend, you can join us too! :7

Blessings,
Heather B.

RE: Shrinking Violets!!!

Lori, what a sweet gesture from DH. Sounds like he wants to take care of mama!! Are you guys planning on having more then? I didn't make my workout after all...see, life again. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Everything will be better once I get into my new house. Right now we're staying with my parents, so it's a bit cramped, to say the least. I'm longing for the days when it stays light out later, my favorite time of day to run is after work. I'd love to be a morning workout person, but I just don't have that energy I need then.

Heather, congrats on the 10 pounds in 3 weeks. That's wonderful. What a sweet welcome too. Thank you. I'm definitely in need of a check in lately, to hold myself accountable!!
Brandi
 
LORI---CONGRATS!

Lori CONTRATS on the baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I missed it, did you post all details??? Where in the world have I been??? I remember when you were trying to get pregnant, I can't remember what thread we were always on, but I sure did miss you.

Welcome back! I'll join any check in you are in, too. How is the little one?

Heather- Thanks! I'm on far right standing..purple sweater. DH is sitting holding little girl in pink. These are my immediate in-law's at our annual Christmas gathering.

I keep up with your progress by lurking on your check-in BTW... You are having such a wonderful New Year! Congratulations!!
 
RE: Shrinking Violets!!!

Hi,
can I join one of your check in's ? I need to loose weight. Last couple weeks I cleaned up my diat. I think a check in would help me alot! I'm doing Cathe's rotations wich has helped me lose alot of weight. Belinda
 
RE: Shrinking Violets!!!

We are only using the WW title because that's what it started out as, but through the months, it's morphed into a much, much broader definition.
