Mamas or soon to be mamas who are morbidly obese, lets be buddies!

[MommyCandice]

I am so excited! Im gonna start officil wi day as Saturday but I have hit my first goal! I am now under 250! 248.6!!! That is 4.8lbs this week!!! Eek

Now i am worried about Halloween and gaining all that i have lost. I am ok when junk is not in the house but my restraint sucks

You ladies are all doing well. We can do this!!!

 

[Try Rocking]

That is an amazing loss! Way to go!

Can you cut up some fruit/veggies and have them ready in case you get tempted?

 

[MommyCandice]

I have them in the fridge but i love me chocolate

 

[hello_kitty]

MommyCandice, that is so awesome! I can never resist chocolate, although I dont really have a sweet tooth. The max that I can eat is 1 bar and then I am like "this is too sweet for me." Itis super windy outside, I am a little concerned about taking the kids trick or treating, but its only once a year so I will make sure they are super warm.

Regarding weight loss, I've gone up. 226.8 today. Gotta go by the rules and record it though. Hopefully I do better next week.

 

[Try Rocking]

Candice I totally get it. I have a hard time when the things I love are right in front of me. Stay strong mama!

HK You'll lose it! It may even have been something like too much salt, not enough water, or TOM. Next week will be better

^WSS HK xx

 

[hello_kitty]

thanks ladies. I just need to start eating well again.

Did everyone have a nice halloween? I took my oldest out yesterday it was pouring rain. He really wanted to go though. The streets were dead with very few trick o treaters. Only couple lights were on and they didnt even have halloween spirit. Not worth it. If it rains next year, I'll just buy some of his favorite candy and give it to him once a week or so.

Thankfully it was nice weather here so the kids had lots of fun going house to house but now the real problem is keeping me out of it... I've been in K's bag a few times today but haven't been too bad.

 

[MommyCandice]

We didn't do to bad. Took my 2 boys out (5 and 14 months). It was drizzly but not to bad. We were out 2 hours and they got a pillowcase full. I did good last night only took 2 little things. Was good till today when i had like 5 chocolate bars oops im sure the scale will show me tomorrow morning how not worth it it was. I did good though was down another 1.2 lb today from yesterday. I'm so proud of myself and i think i am looking smaller than a month ago.

 

[hello_kitty]

The weather plays a really big role in the Halloween spirit, I think. Yesterday wasnt just a drizzle, it was outright down pour so I think that was the reason that hindered many houses from not participating. It was really dark and gloomy. Aside from the candy, I dont think lo had a really good experience because he was wet. Dh and I are just glad he didnt catch a cold.

I am not too fond of this year's candies so I think I only ate 1 mini bar. MommyCandice, your boy's did a great job of getting a pillowcase full of candy!

 

[MommyCandice]

They also got other goodies from houses handing out random stuff. They each got a pair of winter mitts, a book each, a new cup and they each got 4 full sized chocolate bars. Enough to last quite some time.

The last 7 yrs or so it has down poured on Halloween so an on and off drizzle was not to bad. It poured something good last night when we were done though. I was quite some exspecially carrying around the little one for 2 hours but it gave me a decent workout

 

[MommyCandice]

Well there is a sure way to keep me from eating all the sweets i ate yesterday.... the scale went up 1.4lbs from yesterday. Now i dont want to eat those sweets. I like seeing the number on the scale go down much more than chocolate and sweets.
Wow never thought I would hear myself say that ever.

 

[Eve]

That darn chocolate and candy! I've been bad and got into it some this morning. I'm putting it upstairs as I don't go up there through the day

 

[MommyCandice]

My biggest problem was the kids got some lindor chocolates. Omg by far my faves and i sat there and ate all 5. Lol but now the main temptation is gone.

 

[Eve]

Those lindor chocolates are amazing! OH buys me a small bag of them usually for Christmas and I try to make them last as long as possible my dad likes them too so we get him some.

 

[MommyCandice]

Lindor chocolates and rheo thompson mint smoothies are my worst down fall when it comes to chocolate. Whenever i seen them on for cheap i get them

 

[MommyCandice]

Up yet again. Those late night chips and dip were so not worth it. Now i have 3lbs to lose since this weekend.
Im glad im finally realizing the junk just is not worth it. Im busting my ass for the rest of the week

 

[Eve]

I hear ya! I feel sluggish and icky since Halloween. I've been good this morning though. I made a coffee, then had two pieces of french toast and now I'm onto water. I used a 1L mason jar and keep it full of ice as I LOVE ice water. It's the only way I know I will drink enough water daily.

 

[MommyCandice]

Thats a cool idea. My water bottle holds 4 cups so i know i need to drink atleast 3

 

[Eve]

Definitely good to know what they hold. Keeping up with my water intake has helped me out lots as I've had kidney and bladder issues before/still do on occasion and my body needs lots of water!
