So, I had weigh in last night drumroll please.............I lost 5.2 pounds this week! I am so excited. Yes I know that it is the first week, but I am still so jazzed. My dh only lost 1.8 (hee hee). He didn't do so well on his business trip and he told me that he has been sneaking food after I go to bed. But now he is going to take it seriously. He said that he is not competing with me, but there is another guy at our meetings and he has lost 10 pounds so far so dh says "it is on" he can't let another guy beat him. Men- go figure!
So I am very motivated, I know that I can do this. This week my goal is to excercise everyday. My mil gave me her old "sweatin' to the oldies" videos. I love those! I know that it is way cheesy, but Richard Simmons and all those "big" people shaking their things just makes me smile. If they can do it I can do it, right?
So after the meeting, my sister calls me and tells me that she is pregnant. I am so happy for her b/c she has reallybeen trying for a while now. I am semi-bummed though b/c I always told her that if she got pregnant I would try to have another baby too, so we could have them close in age. But I am doing so well I want to keep losing weight, plus I don't think that my body is healthy enough to carry a baby right now. I don;t want the risks that come with being overweight and pregnant.
So we'll see. Right now I am focusing on me and getting healthy. maybe in a few months I'll think about getting pregnant. We'll see.

FANTASTIC !!!
That is great news Amber, I am so pleased you had a good start to your weight-loss. When that happenes it inspires you to try even harder doesn't it.
Beware though, a good weight loss one week usually leads to a low weight loss the week after, but a weight LOSS never the less.
So if you manage to do your exercises everyday then that is great. You may not get as big a weight loss as you would like, but it will help towards the next week.
I understand you DH completely. I am very competitive, and I can understand him not wanting the other guy to beat him. It is also good, healthy competition that will help him, so that is great for him
Congratulations on your sisters news, that is lovely to hear. I agree it is better for you and a new baby if you try to get closer to your goal before trying to fall pregnant. Plus the fact, I am sure you will be a good girl when you are pregnant, and not eat for two like most of us do, that way it won't be so hard to get back to target after baby arrives
So, what do I say that you don't understand ?? You can't 'hear' my english accent on here can you ? LOL
Hows Vegas ? It's typically wet over here at the moment
Anyway you take care and keep focused, that was a great start !!
At WW in the UK we get a silver number '7' sticker each time we lose 7 pounds. When we get to our 10% goal we get a key ring, which looks like a number 10.
Not sure what other 'exciting' things they have up their sleeves for us as we get nearer our goals
So far I have three silver 7 stickers and a key ring
But, just looking at my weigh-in card makes me happy
So, what exercise will you be doing today ?
I will be going to a Dance-fit class at the gym after work, which means a 45 minute workout before I go on to my WW class to be weighed - fingers crossed
