Thanks Jillian

(not really...I hated that workout!)

-2 this week :)

Hot Momma

I'm down 2 lbs. Good start. Does anyone else's scale give them different readings depending on where on the floor it is? Wondering if it's my scale or the floor. Hard to feel it's acurate when I can get so many different readings!

Yippee!!

Down 3 for me :) that almost puts me back to zero...lol!! (for the record...I did weigh in last week after my mini vacation...I was at a +/- 0...I just kept forgetting to post)

-Hot Momma :)

Seriously...what is wrong with me

I didn't really expect a loss this week and feared a gain (starting saturday, I could feel my ankles and hands were way swollen) along with other things going on...I really feel I am still having post baby issues, but seriously, I gained 6 lbs this week!!! No wonder I've been feeling like crap. Oh well...just keep plugging along I guess. (why did I go back to ZERO so soon!!!!!!!)

I guess on the good side my son had the "best birthday ever" and I had a fabulous mother's day, and my arms and face got a little sun this week!!

-hot momma (who really just feels squishy and puffy)

new week new attitude...

anyone else ALWAYS have the drive to be better on monday just to lose it by oh...Wednesday :) Well this week I'm going to try to have that drive all week...I'm going to drown myself in water, cut down on the junk, up my veggie/fruit intake, and exercise more (oh and motivate myself on tuesday by watching the biggest loser :) oh...and I'm down 1 lb this week :)

-hot momma

time to own it :(

Well...I seem to have lost 5 of the 8 lbs I gained last week...guess that puts me at a +3 this week. I said I'd own it and I will (even though I so don't want to) Guess it will just make me more determined to work hard this week and get back to 0...sigh...

Up Again :(

I really am so sick of reporting my yo-yo world. I am +1 again this week :( I know what I need to do I just need to do it. But why is it so freaking hard!!!! I need some inspiration. I love whoever put up the NSV's I think that is a great idea. So My goals for the week are to actually exersize at least 4 times. And I am going to get rid of all the Easter candy that is lingering through my house so I don't snack on it all the time. Wish me luck :) I am going to be negative next week and hopefully alot.

accountable but not counting

Well, I weighed in this morning, and I had gained 8 pounds since last week...I don't think that's really possible...well it is, but it's not real weight. And judging from the fact that I can't get my rings off AT ALL this morning...I think I'm having some kind of post baby/body trying to get back to normal water retention issue!!

So...if it's o.k. w/ everyone...I'm going to ask cookie NOT to record this weigh in and I'll kick up the water intake and hope to be back to normal next week or better yet tomorrow!!!! (if I'm not...then I'll own the gain...but I really can't take that +8 by my name right now!!)

-(not so) Hot Momma :)

I'll take it!

Well...this may be stretching things...but I'm down .5 this week...I'll go with that :)
-Hot Momma

Whatever?!

Well...I seem to have lost the 5lbs I gained last week...not sure what's up with that but I'll take it. I also have my dr. appt. today so I'll have my offical after baby weight...what do you all think...should I restart at 0 or keep my loss from before? I can't decide.

-hot momma

I'm blaming it on the gravitational pull of the Moon...

since there seems to be a lot of gaining this week :)....it's comforting to know I'm not alone (but it doesn't make me any happier) I gained 5 lbs this week. DANGIT. I've gotta get enough energy to care!! (and how come you loose weight 1 lb at a time and it can come back on 5 lbs at a time!!!)

-hot momma

a surprise here too

I'm reporting another "ZERO" today...which I am surprised about...see we had the girl scouts show up too, and I've been stressed out w/ sick kids, lack of sleep, and other personal issues I won't go into...needless to say, my eating hasn't been so good (well...it tasted good...but you know what I mean)...so I'll happily take the "ZERO" and hope for a better week (that means one w/ no sick kids!!! and maybe hopefully a vacation at the end of it, but I'm not counting on it anymore **sniff, sniff**

hot momma and saintsfan

Hot momma is reporting a big fat 0 and the saints fan is reporting a -1. Time to work harder!!

Technical Difficulties

So, I tried to weigh-in yesterday, and according to my scale I am either +5 or -5 or anywhere in between. I swear, I weighed like 4 times in a row and all 4 were different, and the needle kept moving away from zero when I was off the scale, and apparently when I take a deep breath I weigh 3 pounds less than when I exhale.....I think my old scale has given up on me. I will be looking for a new digital scale this week. (Anyone happen to know a good place to buy one?) So I suppose I will stay a zero this week and I will count whatever the new scale says as my "new" zero and go from there.

Note:Of course this is Cookie, I do believe I am the only one who forgets to sign each and every post I make....sorry.

oops

well..my eating "naughty" things has caught up with me. +2 this week...time to stop eating for 2!! --Hot Momma

getting closer

I'm down 3.5 lbs this week. 3.5 to go until I'm at my pre-preg weight and the real work begins!!

My goals this week are to keep drinking water...and get some fruits and veggies each day.

I really am here

Sorry for my absence yesterday. I am reporting a 0 for last week, better than I expected considering the fact that I completely fell off the wagon for a little while. I even told a club zero member face to face that I was done for a little while because I was so frustrated with other things happening around me. She supported my decision, which isn't so much an excuse as it is a justification for how I was feeling and why I was feeling that way. That being said THANK YOU Club Zero. My hyiatus is over, and I am back on board. I am hoping for some good negative numbers next week and am really looking forward to some of the postive things that are happening on this blog. I love you all so much. You are great!!

My Late Report

Alfalfa is reporting a +/- 0 for the week. I will do better this week.
I am very happy to see all of the posts today. Let me explain why I feel this way. Being one of the 3 male members of Club Zero I really don't have any recipes to share unless you all wanted to know how to take a frozen pizza out of the box and put it in the oven or how it takes exactly one minute and forty-five seconds to microwave a bag of popcorn at our house. So I really look forward to hearing the suggestions all of you have and the things you are doing to work at this. I was beginning to wonder if our little club was beginning to fizzle out because as the weeks have gone on the posts have become fewer and fewer and it seemed like discouragement was the biggest theme of all the Monday weigh-in posts.
But after today I see that our club really is going strong. Maybe we all are a little discouraged because the weight doesn't seem to be dropping off as fast as we want it to or we don't seem to be accomplishing our goals. But we all really want to succeed at this. Club Zero attire, goals to run half marathons or 5K races help me see that I need to keep trying my best even if I do get a little down on myself. So my goal for the week is this: every night I will post something I have done that day that has helped me. Whether it is what I did to fight off a craving, what I did to exercise, or something I read that inspired me I will take the time to share it with you. We can't do this alone so lets stop focusing on the things we didn't do or the things we shouldn't have done, and start focusing on the little steps we take each day to get us that little bit closer to our goals. Thanks for the uplift today. I will talk to you all tomorrow. ALFALFA

not so good

Well, I am reporting +1 this week, I have so got to get on track with the weight loss.
If I could get my lazy but up in the morning and exercise I might be having some negative weight loss. I'm going on a River trip in July and we will be going with some skinny minnies and I have got to lose before then.

Also my choelsterol is a little high, so if anyone has any ideas on what to do to get than down I would really love to hear them, I do not want to go on medication. So anything natural will be of some help.

Thanks

Today I feel like the Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, oh look at the time! I lost 2.5 pounds since last weigh in.
