I get so excited when I lose 4-5 pounds and then I slip up a little and the weight comes right back and I start all over again. I have been losing/gaining the same 5 pounds for about 4 months. I watched an interview with Cindy Crawford and she made a lot of sense. She said not to diet because you're either always on or off of one. And what that means is---you're either depriving yourself or eating like crazy because "you're not on a diet". She said she tries to eat 80% good, 80% of the time. I think that's what I'm going to go by. Of course, exercise is the key. I have been running 4 nights a week and doing squats and crunches at home for toning. Let's see if I will start to lose some real weight, not just keep re-losing the same 5 pounds. I hear ya about re-losing weight.

I ran tonight... long time... feeling good about it but a little weak. I may have over done it for my 3 day back! Anyway, the body will adjust. I am finally throwing away all the stuff I shouldn't eat that we accumulated during the holidays... some of it bad... some of it really bad. Went to the grocery store today to get new food. Keep me updated. It really helps me to process! So excited you are back on here! I ran tonight… long time… feeling good about it but a little weak. I may have over done it for my 3 day back!

Those DVDs look fun! I am taking off today from exercising, cause I just have a busy day and I am really sore. Did tons of yard work yesterday... after doing my leg workout! Aagh! Brought good snacks and lunch to work. It will be harder without having exercised this morning. I hope you have a great weekend with your babies! I will be thinking about you Monday. :) Glad the exercise helps you feel better. Those DVDs look fun! I am taking off today from exercising, cause I just have a busy day and I am really sore.

Let me do some digging and I'll let you know! You know me ... always up for mixing things up a bit!!!

Really sorry to hear about your difficulty with hormones. I experienced the worst depression after Ryan was born when I had to go back to work. It was really hard. It is just one of those things you have to get through. You know you can call me if you need to. Update- I don't think I have lost any more pounds. I think building muscle is causing my weight to even out. This does not upset me for some reason. I was really enjoying watching those numbers go down. I feel good, though. Am in a pretty good morning routine. I get up between 5:30 and 6:00, depending on what excercise I am doing that day. Also, big news... I ran my 5K Sat! It was seriously the biggest physical accomplishment of my life. I am still on a high from it. Can't believe I did that! We will talk soon. Keep your chin up!

I first went on BC long before I was actually "using" it as a way to control my cramps which were about killing me. I've been on quite a few different kinds over the years depending on the doctor and with some of them I was a raging hormonal banshee and with others it was almost like they were laced with valium in comparison :-) Keep keeping us posted! (Hopefully my feedreader will start behaving, too!) I’m glad you got off the BCP since it was making you so whacked out!
