Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Jo-Ann, just wanted to jump in here and say, I hope you feel better soon!! (gotta love that Nyquil......when you can take it!!) Jo-Ann Sorry you aren't feeling well!! With all that you have going on, youdon't need that too! On the other hand, don't you just love nyquil??? Imissed that the most when I was sick and pregnant! A good night's sleepalways makes you feel better! I'd love to be your diet buddy, we'll haveto figure out what we should do. I've never been to weight watcherseither, we borrowed the materials from someone I knew and made copies ofthe program that assigns points for different foods. There is someinformation on the internet, but they don't put much on there because Ithink they actually want you to go to their meetings and pay thedues...I lost 20lbs before my sister's wedding doing slim-fast andeating one meal a day. It seemed like the weight came off pretty quickand steadily and that's what I need to keep me motivated. I guess Ineed to be extreme....Oh, I was doing aerobics 3x a week too and keepinga food diary. I may start doing that, at least when I weighed myself inthe mornings I'd either have lost a little or stayed the same, right nowI am yo-yoing down a couple, up a couple...URGH! Should we start Monday?Report our mornin weigh-ins, then report weekly? or Daily? Let me knowok! How's Tessa doing with the bottle? She is sure a sweetie, I keepgoing back and looking at her pictures! Enjoy the ballet recital! Iloved ballet! and recital time! I was actually in the Nutcracker oneyear (I was a mouse...)Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 , Yes tomorrow is the last day. I'm throwing a pool party for them tomorrow afternoon! Thank God it's over. Love & hugs, Jo-Ann Re: Jo-Ann Jo-Ann,Thanks for clearing me up regarding the trimesters. I am pretty ignorant about how all this works. Congratulations on surviving one week on a diet! I'll be thinking of you guys as you try to make the right food choices. It's not easy, but it will be worth it in the end.Are you about over your cold?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 Janice, Three lbs doesn't seem like much to me, especially when I still have 15 to go. I can't wait until Friday, hopefully I've made some more progress! Love & hugs, Jo-Ann RE: Jo-Ann You lost three pounds in just a few days! That is incredible. Last week my dh didn’t eat for 6 days—he was fasting to lose weight. He lost 6 pounds. and he literally ate nothing. So what you’ve accomplished is unreal.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Just 15? Well that means you are 1/6th of the way there. So if you lost three pounds every week for the next 5 weeks, you’d be done by then. Or if you just lost 5 pounds a month, you’d be done in 3 months. then all you have to do is maintain your weight. You can have naughty days and then well-behaved days. You are on your way!!!!! Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Jo-Ann, Wow, it sure does sound like your dad was watching over you all! I just think that is wonderful that you have a BBQ to remember, that must be so nice to have a special day for him. I am sorry he passed away, it must really be hard sometimes. I am sure he enjoyed seeing everyone together though, you know? It is also nice to know that your angel babies have their grandfather with them. ----- Original {{{HUGS}}} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 , I truly hope that he is watching over my angel babies. I think one of the reasons I was so devastated when I lost Jonah (Aug. 99) was because I was so happy when I was pg again. I had just lost my Dad at the beginning of the year and when I found out I was pg I just knew it would help me through the grief of losing him. But then when I lost the baby just a couple of days before what would have been my Dad's birthday, I completely fell apart. Too much to deal with all at once I guess. I also picked the name Jonah after my father. His name was , so I just moved the letters around a bit and added the a. It didn't want to name him , we already have too many of them!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 Dana, Of course you made the best decision, especially since it's the right one for you both. You hang in there sweetie, I'm sure everything is going to be fine. And like you said before even if the baby did have Downs you would love s/he just the same. And that's all that's important! Love & hugs, Jo-Ann Jo-Ann Jo-Ann, I am feeling much better since coming to a decision. I was just so upset when I got the triple screen results. I mean even though I had been prepared for it by my OB, it still hit like a ton of bricks. I guess I needed a couple of days to grieve and then a couple of days to be mad at myself for even taking the test. Then and I got to have a whole weekend to spend talking about the most important thing I think we have ever discussed (next to ever starting TTC). And we came through it with a decision we can both live with. I do feel more at peace, in fact amazingly so. I don't know if I made the best decision, but I feel we made the right one for us.
