Hello, Today is June 11, 2005. After my pre-natal checkup from the last post, I was put on bedrest for the weekend, then they sent me to the hospital, where I was a guest for a month, from May 2-31. I have a short cervix, and I was having contractions. Being my first, I didn't recognize them as contractions. I thought that contractions would hurt. It just felt like the baby was pushing with it's feet, or butt, or head against my stomach. Anyway, I'm home now, but still on bedrest. I have about 2 months to go now. Candy

Hello everyone, It's been a while. I have news. I'm gaining weight. Being pregnant does that. YAY! This is our first baby. I'm 25 weeks along now. Doing well. The only thing I get tired of is eating. It's hard to keep up eating enough to gain weight. I'm still a bit paranoid about gaining weight. worried that I will gain too much and not be able to lose it. I have a pre-natal appointment in a couple days. I will see if I'm gaining enough. I keep reminding myself that the baby is hungry, not me, and that keeps me eating. I'm tired all the time too. I don't know if this is normal, so i'm going to ask my dotor that too. I will let you know what happens. Candy

Hello everyone. I'm am so glad it's going to be summer pretty soon. I've gotten a bit flabby over the winter. I've only gained 5 pounds, but I've lost muscle and gained fat in its place. Well time to walk over to my sisters and return her cookbook that I got a bunch of sugar free recipes from. TTFN Candy

Hello all. How are you? I'm doing all right. I'm on 10 mg paxil (actually a generic of paxil) now for my depression. It's helping. It's taken the edge off, but I'm going to see if they can up the dosage a little bit on my follow up visit. My weight keeps going up and down depending partly on that time of the month. The lowest I remember weighing myself lately is 168. my ultimate goal is 150. I don't have too much farther to go, It's just those last few pounds are killer. Any suggestions? I've mentioned this before, but I'm a carb addict. I love chips and crackers. mostly crackers. I'm trying to eat fruit instead. I need to drink more water. The after picture I have put up is from the beginning of August. I guess I weighed about 177 then. It's not the best pic, but I was too anxious to wait for the other ones to get developed. I will talk to you all later. Candy

Hello again, I weighed in at Curves last night and I now weigh 173! Yay! I've past my 2nd personal goal of 175. I'm a size 14, but I can find some 12's that fit. I've figured out my problem with carbs. It's pop that makes me crave carbs. I don't know if it's just the carbonation that expands the stomach that makes me hungry or what, but I didn't have a pop the other day and I had no cravings. So I have to wean myself off of pop again. But it's all for the next goal, so I can handle it. I'm done with curves in a couple of weeks. It's been real, it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun. Plus I'd like to try other types of workouts. I have some excersize tapes and my nephew has weights, so I think I will do that now. That's all I can think of ttfn, Candy

It's been a couple of months since I last checked in. I'm thisclose to my 2nd personal goal. I haven't been on my best behavior lately. I've missed meals and snacks due to a demanding temporary position at my job. My boss is on maternity leave (congrats on a health baby boy) so I'm taking up the slack. On the other hand I'm back to my old habit of evening snacking. Not good snacking mind you, crackers and chip snacking. 'Bad carbs, bad!' So I've lost and gained and lost again. But I'm less that what I was last time I wrote so all is going relatively well. At this point the only way I really see myself getting to the doctors goal weight is surgery. My belly hangs down, so do my boobs. I have granny arms - the kind that keep waving even after I stop waving. And my inner thighs, well, all I can say is they look like wrinkle pups. I'm suffering from major depression. I have an appointment to see a doctor but it's not 'til the begining of October. Until then I'm trying to manage with herbal remedies. I figure it's because of my body not getting the memo that I've lost 133 lbs and my hormones still running at that high level. I'm probably way off the mark, but that's my theory. Well it's time for me to say TTFN (tata for now) Candy

Hi everyone, Well It's been a year now and are you ready for this? I started at 310, and I am now 185. 125 pounds gone. whoo hooo! I just cannot believe it. I don't remember the last time I weighed close to this. I know it was a while before I got my driver's license when I was 16, because for that I lied and said I weighed 194. So that's been well over 12 years ago. I have so much more confidence. I wear clothing styles now that I would have never considered, ever! I don't care if something fits a little snug now, because soon it will be loose. I'm going to a public swimming pool next weekend, the first time I've done that in a long time. Me in public, IN A BATHING SUIT! what's this world coming to? hehehe. Congrats to all of my fellow 'losers', congrats to everyone with a date, and best wishes to those who are still trying. Candy
