Army - Way to go on the weight loss, that is amazing! I did join Slimming World and I was doing quite well but with my anxiety, I missed a couple of weeks and now I'm too scared to go back and have totally gone off track and gained back all the weight that I lost!

Awwww Daniel is so cute! Love the pics!

Once we are done breastfeeding, we are going to count calories for 6 months and cut out all processed foods. While breastfeeding I have to cut out dairy since it doestn sit well with either me or him. I have also cut out chocolate because my teeth are just too sensitive now.

My friend Anne joined Weight Watchers in high school and lost 65lbs! Some of it came back on in college but she is watching what she eats and we're proud of her. She has always been overweight but is working hard to change that.

 

[Excalibur]

I don't think I could do calorie counting, too confusing for my little brain That's a shame that you have had to cut out Dairy and Chocolate, better to be safe than sorry though I guess.

That's great that your friend lost all that weight, well done to her!

I've just reached my weight loss goal and have now set a new goal 5 pounds lower. Though I'm in no rush to make it happen. I'm heading back home again for 6 weeks so my goal then will be to avoid putting any weight on. I'm going to bring my workouts home with me otherwise I'll join a gym for a month and work out. Today us the last day of my beach bodies challenge but I'm starting another one tomorrow.

 

[Excalibur]

Kelly - Well done for reaching your target weight loss, that's amazing!

Hey ladies! Well I'm a stranger here by now! Life lately has just been super overwhelming. I won't bore u all with details but it has been stressful due to probs with my brother here....had to fire him and he is not living a good life. The good news is...LM is a beautiful healthy 6 month old girl! My sunshine!! We are looking fwd to dressing up next wk. Going as Cinderella, Prince Charming, and the little mouse who woreis a pink dress from Cinderella. Spent a while putting costumes together but so worth it! All of us are all the Disney princesses in the restaurant next Fri.

Good job on all the weight loss! I have 10-15lb to go still. Bought a used spinning bike which is helping. My tummy still feels like a water bed. :/

Ex congrats on baby #2!!!!!! How exciting! Can't believe Tyler will be a year soon. Wow.

Army love the pic, he is precious!

I really need to post a few. Our angel girl's smile melts my heart.

 

[JennyNBaby]

Here's some photies!

 

[Excalibur]

Jenny - Thank you ever so much I can't believe that Tyler will be 1 year old soon either, I don't know where the past year has gone!!

Glad to hear that you and LM are doing well, she is such a cutie! Love the photo's

 

[Kelly9]

She's super cute Jenny! Nice to see you on here again. Did you get your cycles back yet? I'm still waiting on mine 7.5 months later.

 

[JennyNBaby]

Thanks Kelly!

AF arrived end of August then again mid Oct. Nothing regular yet. Not figuring it will be until she is done BFing. She is a boobie monster. Lol. She shrieks impatiently when she sees me even start to lift my shirt. Little glutton. Hahaha. Have enjoyed nursing her. Some days it is tiresome though with trying to do everything else around here.

 

[Kelly9]

Lexi is a little piggy to! 18.5 pounds lol. That's why she's being a pig for Halloween. I'm still waiting on af. Tried soy a while ago and it nearly worked but now that we have a big vacation coming up I'm going to wait to take it again. Hopefully af won't show till end of jan at the earliest now! I hate being on panty watch all the time though and carrying around pads just in case.

 

[JennyNBaby]

Mine came back in the car on a long trip. Had to emergency stop at Wal-mart. It was terrible.

 

[armymama2012]

Everyone sounds like they have perfect little toddlers. I'm not in that group. One way or another Jerusha is going to learn she cannot yell at me and get away with it. Dont judge me.

 

[Kelly9]

Skyler is NOT a perfect toddler. He is fighting for independence and pushing boundaries and some days I want to give him away. It's a phase and he will get through it. We've made great progress with his hitting which is a big win for us.

Jenny that sucks! When I had skyler my period came back while I was at university thankfully I'd caught my ovulation on an opk so had pads with me.

 

[JennyNBaby]

Army hang in there!! All children push boundaries, some more than others. Be strong and enforce the law. You will get through it. When is DH returning? Should be any day right?? Or is he already back?

LM crawled today!!!! And she is saying Mamama. I am pretty amazed. I did not expect it AT ALL. She always hated tummy time. Go figure. Pretty soon she will be on the move. She made it about 3 or 4 feet today. This being my little girl who can do stuff but never does....rolling...can but doesn't unless necessary. Usually she just wants to veg and have someone play with her or hold her.

Officially calorie counting...

 

[armymama2012]

He's back in the US but I wont get to see him or another week or two. Daniel has been on rice baby cereal for a week now. Waiting til daddy is here to start veggies. He is now 17 lbs 2 ounces and 26 inches long. He is very cranky and has started biting during feedings so I'm expecting a tooth to break through any day now.

Wow, early crawler! Daniel is working on sitting by himself.

 

[Kelly9]

Awww jenny how cute! It's exciting isn't it? I love it when they suddenly learn something new.

Lexi says dadada but not mamama yet, go figure. Lol. She crawls all over the place and is constantly trying to touch the tv stuff and gaming consoles. I don't think she'll be pulling up for a bit yet but she's been on her hands and knees while holding up one arm for about a week now so who knows. Id like her to take her time and wait a bit longer with that. She still has no teeth but they're coming. I suspect sometime in her 8th month.

Jenny for some reason I though Lexi and Lynn Marie were the same age I don't know why.... Mommy brain!

 

[Excalibur]

Jenny - That's amazing that LM crawled, they grow up so quick!

Army - Way to go Daniel on having baby cereal.

 

[armymama2012]

Ok, ladies. I need a photo update and news update.

Daniel isn't sitting yet and has no interest in crawling apparently. He is on cereal and baby food now since November 12th. In 4 weeks I'll start him on Stage 2 foods. Still going pretty strong on breastfeeding. My goal is to make it to my birthday (March 10th) but as long as I make it past January I will feel pretty good.
