A bit about me...

I have two beautiful teenagers (13 yr old son and 17 yr old daughter), 2 loveable mutts and a husband who is losing weight with me. I never lost the 'baby' weight, but the real toll on my body was treatment for breast cancer about 9 years(!wow!) ago. Chemo and steroids and the fatigue of radiation seemed to age me about 10 years. After I finished treatment, I fought back to regain my stamina. Trained and walked in the Avon 3 day, and followed the Atkins diet to lose about 25 pounds. But it always seemed to inch back on my...

Hello,

I have a situation. I feel kinda dumb about it, but here it goes. Jan 2007, I had a healthy baby boy (Now 2). Since then, I have been pregnant 2x. The first being unsuccessful. I reached 8weeks only to miscarry (Blighted Ovum). Natural Miscarrige, No complications. I suddenly became pregnant again in September 2008, a month after my second pregnancy. I got thru my first trimester, but the pregnancy eneded horribly. I had just seen my baby moving and heart beating on ultrasound, only to lose him the following Monday, November 24, 2008. I gave birth to...

Yesterday was a hard induction day. I felt like I needed to keep eating, yet wasn't getting full. I felt stuffed and hungry at the same time.

This happened a few weeks ago when I went on induction, so I guess it's normal. I remember that after that I seemed to start slipping into ketosis and not feeling so hungry.

I think that has happened today. I had some eggs and bacon for breakfast and then made myself eat something around 1, even though I didn't really feel hungry.

I weighed myself yesterday, but the scale has not moved. I looked back at my...

went past all the clothing stores. I like nice, interesting clothes. Usually in the past this meant Lane Bryant. Back in college, I would buy a new garment a week.
Recently, I have abstained from retail for clothes and only shopped second hand. I get some truly great finds at great prices (unworn red leather jacket, my size $5), but not as much variety.
I strangely feel my clothes vanity returning, the desire to pretty up, and dress fancy. I rarely wear makeup, and still doubt I would ever do it in the summer in the day, the sweat factor very much a problem for me, but still,...

Feeling pretty good today. Went on a very long walk last night, I forgot how nice it is to turn up the music and just walk. No kids to yell for you, or husband I went out for dinner and did very well. I like Ceasar salads and most places have that so that is always my back up if there is nothing else on the menu that will work.
One thing that works well for me is COFFEE! Cannot live without it. Love the Sugar Free Carmel Cream that they have. Goes perfect with a little Peanut Butter on a low carb wrap.
Sometimes it is so much easier to watch what I eat during the week....
