I agree. A food journal is a huge help to me. Somedays, when I splurge, I think I bet I blew it (in the past when I thought that, each day would get worse until I gained it all back), but with my journal, I can see that I can eat, splurge some and still do well.

Hey Spice! lol yeah we were commenting on eachother's journal at the same time~ I have had a good week also, been eating well and drinking water~ Yay! Sounds like you are doing well yourself. I am about to go to a mexican restaurant and treat myself but going to split a small meal so the calories are split. Plus I will drink a whole glass of water before I eat so I dont eat all of the half portion lol. Probably only going to get nachos or something. I'm not going to feel guilty! I'm going to come home and get on the tredmill. So it doesn't keel me over. ha Anyways, glad to hear your doing good. Keep it up. Gotta get ready! Byye!!~~~

I only lost half of it. Then after my fourth, I only gained 24 pounds, which I lost pretty quickly. I went on to lose an additional 10 pounds, but when my dad died, I gained it back plus the 24 pounds. My fourth one had to stay in the hospital for a total of six days. Since then, we have been to one specialist or another on a regular basis. Looking at her, though, she looks healthy. And for the most part she is. Thank God. Anyway I know what you mean about having to deal with a baby in the hospital. She ended up being flew to another hospital, and it was about 3 1/2 hours away. On her second day there, we had to go home, which was two hours away, to get more things to prepare for a longer stay. We were gone overnight. That nearly killed me. It was so hard! Wow. I haven't given this much personal info on here before. I guess I can just relate to what you experienced. Anyway, lots of luck to ya. I'll be looking forward to your progress.

No worries ariel,We all get down right personal in these journals sometimes. We talk about everything from weightloss to family to (unruly teenagers ) You name it. That's whats so great about this place and if there is something you preferr not to discuss in a journal you can always either pm it or e-mail it, if you happen to swapp out e-mail's out on here with some ppl.

YAY !!!! I need more motivation, (I'm sick right now anyways), but maybe the other members like you can help motivate me to exercise more. Keep on doing what your doing and those lbs are going to fly off of you.

ttyl c.c. Got your friend request, thanks.

I plan on going to the gym and get a little work out in also. Overall I am doing pretty good with my eating and not going over 1500 cal and drinking my water. So hopefully I will lose some weight in my 1st month. But time will tell. It is very exciting though. Well I will pop back in later and write how my day goes..about to check out some more journals…have a great day today….but hey try and get through today 1st!

Maybe you will be one of the lucky one's to lose 10 lbs the first month. I would be happy with 5 lbs at this point. Anything will be better then nothing,I'm sure you will do great.

Sounds like you have everything planned out well,keep up with the great job.
