Red Hot MaMa society..how much have you lost? 46.2 pounds so far!

[Beekissed]

I love your smileys!!! I love the color of red but not fire engine red....more scarlet, garnet, old barn red. It gives me the warm fuzzies to see those colors and I try to sneak them into my house in small ways wherever I live.

I don't, however, look good in red unless I'm sporting a tan...but I'll worry about all that when I get the weight off.

Red, pink, purple, it doesnt matter.

It HOW you wear it that counts.

A Red Hot Mama is confiendent and sassy without being trashy in any color!

Get better RTG. I didn't get my flu shot this year so don't breath too much on your monitor, I don't want to get it.

Can I join? Im sorta new to BYH, but not new to trying to get a little healthier weight wise.

I am 34, 5 foot 2 , and weigh 148 lbs right now. My goal is to slim down to 130 (my body seems happy there even though I really WANT to be 120, its just too hard to attain and stay at).

I have 6 children- 14 yr old DD, 12 Yr old DS, 7 yr old DS, 5 year old DS, 3 yr old DS, and a 3 month old DS. Yep, 5 boys and only ONE girl!! Thats ok though, lots of strong backs to help me do farm chores!!

I dont have a specific plan yet. Im nursing so I cant restrict calories too much, but I try to move my body around as much as possible. Never sit still if I can help it.

Glad this is here to help us all out a bit! Be checking in as time allows, with kids and critters, I dont get alot of computer time!

Welcome pridegoethb4thefall. It's better that you don't have a lot of computer time, because sitting on your fanny does not lead to weight loss Looking forward to reading your journal, only takes a few minutes to do that part and we'll be here to cheer you on

I love your screen name! SIX kids!!! I'm the youngest of nine, so I'm not exclaiming at your family size...merely that you only weigh that much after having 6 kids! Kudos to you and welcome!!!

Havent been on here for a while, but stumbled on to this thread...Now that the holidays are over, I need to get back on track!
In the fall of 2010 I weighed 170 lbs; I am 5' 3 1/2" tall & built solid. I didnt look like I weighed that much, but the fact is that I did. Part of it was due to a reaction to one of my medications, but most of it was due to my love of food. Hey, admitting is half the battle, right? Anyway, by monitoring what I was eating, lots & lots of walking, working a full-time job & running a mini farm, I got down to 150 lbs by this past September. Unfortunately, I started putting the weight back on over the last 2 months (danged holiday food & parties!); so now, it's back to trying to lose again. The down-side now is that my job has changed a little in that I am doing more sitting & less active than I was previously. Even though I lost right at 20 lbs before the feeding frenzy of the holidays, I needed to lose 20 more besides that.
I can use all the support I can get & am ready to encourage everyone else as well! I LOVE the color red--especially in clothing, but I also LOVE pink as well. I'm not doing this to be a "red hot mama," (heaven forbid--gave those days up years ago)--at 51, I'm doing it more for my health. But...I def have the attitude--shoot, in my mind I still feel like a size 5/6 and in my early 30's!

So let's go ladies...time to drop it like it's hot! (the weight, that is!)

 

[redtailgal]

Hi Ladies!

How is everyone doing?

I can't diet right now, but you can, so c'mon!

Hi Tigerlilly.......51 is the perfect age to be a RED HOT MAMA!!! (sorry it took so long to acknowledge you, I've been ill)

And Hi pridegoeth.......Your right, dont cut calories while you are nursing, moving is the best bet for you. How are you doing with that? Please share with us your ideas on getting up and moving....You may have a new take that we will love!

C'mon ladies, I wanna see those food journals. I wanna see you cheering each other on. I wanna put "total weight loss at BYH 35lbs!" in the title of this thread. I wanna see a bunch of posts with and ............not or
