O.K. truth be told!

I'm on a mission to get healthy and since this is a private forum and all and because I'm being really brave, I will tell you all my "Weight" (gulp.) so I can keep myself accountable. I am officially overweight according to www.calorie-count.com which is an awesome website for counting calories and keeping track of what you are eating by the way. I weigh 1 (sshhh) 5 (did I just write that?) 5. Oh why oh why Laurie didn't you share some of your height with me? If only I was a few inches taller, that wouldn't be such a bad weight now would it?

So Donna, you are doing cereal for breakfast and lunch and whatever you want for dinner right? Plus add in some exercise, that's what I want to do. Eat less and exercise. Any other ways you are getting the scale to move? I have steadily gone up in weight with each child and I fear my stomach will never be the same. I'm just tired of feeling out of shape and would like to be healthy again, not going for skinny, just healthy.

I was going to post an embarrassing photo, but I think I'll keep it in my embarrassing Hall of Fame picture folder, soon to be deleted.

Donna, congrats on the new job and have a great time on your vacation with Tim, sounds like fun. I can't wait til my kids are old enough and Brig and I can do something like that every once and a while. Laurie and Becky, we are so excited for your new babies to come! Such a cool and exciting blessing for all of us to have more nieces and nephews! Holly, I love you. Good luck with the Dr. appt. As for us, Aiden's eye is still crossing in. We put in a drop that is supposed to make his good eye not function as well and force the lazy eye to work. He's wearing his cute little glasses right now, I'll get a picture of him in them for you all too see soon. He hates the drops and so far I'm not noticing a huge difference, the eye is still crossing. Sarah's teacher thinks there is something wrong with her. She thinks she has a disablity of some kind with concentrating. She says she has a hard time staying on task. I have noticed it too, but I don't think it's the huge problem she seems to think it is. She is going to have her tested and I'm already regretting saying it was O.K. with me. Love you all, Laurie where are you?

Ruthy you are a light weight! I need to start weight watchers again. Hopefully we will get inspired by the biggest loser that actually starts tonight. I hope Adeys eye gets stronger and bless little Sarah's heart I hope she does good on her testing. Love you Mindy and thanks for keeping me sane during the daytime I sure do enjoy talking to you! Love you
Becky

Biggest Loser YAY!! I didn't realize it was coming on tonight! That's great news, it's so darn inspiring. I miss the office most of all, I feel like dorothy (wizard of Oz) saying that.

The biggest loser gets less inspiring when the contestants weigh the same as you!!! And I agree the Office is my scarecrow too!!!
