So I officially joined Weight Watchers two weeks ago with my mother in law fran. The first week was a breeze and I lost 5.8 pounds! Awesome! But then the second week was a little more stressful, I helped my Mother in Law with a chocolate party for all the Grand daughters (hoping to post pics about it tomorrow), which I ate a serious amount of chocolate. And then we went to St. George for the weekend (also hoping to update on) for the weekend, which I ate pretty good but definately outside of my point range. So on Monday I had gained .2 which considering everything wasn't too bad. But now I have got to get my tail going! I haven't decided about adding one of those weight trackers that I see on a few blogs. I still need to decide my goal weight...but I do love watching everyone elses! 
I thought these were pretty funny, and somedays I definately feel that way!!! So I have been walking with my friend Melinda! It has been such a blast. We meet at 7 am and walk for an hour. She is actually one of Jon's good friends from high school, but I think I have stolen her as my friend! It was sad how sore I was at first but now it seems to be getting a lot easier. I remember reading on Kimberly's blog about exercising helped her to not kill her husband...I thought it was so funny (because I couldnt' see her hurting a fly) but now I am understanding what she meant... those endorphins really do put me in a good mood!!! 
I really love blogging! But it takes so much time to look at everyones blog, make comments, and to update my blog, that it seems that I have to let some slide and just do one at a time! Finally I had a chance to add some fellow bloggers family and friends...welcome all!!! I am so excited to see what everyone is up to on a daily basis! I promise that even if I don't leave a comment i have read your blog!!! My blogging resolution is to blog when I get home from walking and then I have a few mintutes to myself when no one will interrupt!

Good luck with Weight Watchers...I love it. That's how I lost my baby weight after baby #2 and #3. It's especially nice if you are nursing because you get extra points!
Way to go! Just be consistent and don't get discouraged. The weight will begin to melt away! We will be cheering you on! I know what you mean about commenting and reading everyone's blogs. You could easily get lost for an indefinite amount of time. Glad you had a minute to write one. love ya!
Thanks for adding me to your list of family bloggers. For some reason the link isn't working though... I feel silly telling you that : ) Good luck on Weight Watchers. I am always trying to improve the amount of exercise I get. It's hard to get on my treadmill and to stay there but when I do I feel so great! It's so fun to read your blog.
I think you look great Mand, and I love walking in the mornings! IT is great!!
That quote was from Legally Blonde, where she says something like: "Exercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy, happy people don't kill their husbands." I always thought that was somewhat relatable because I feel I just tolerate "life" in general so much better when I am exercising. Good for you...keep it up...you will see results, feel happy, and look great! It is definitely harder to make weight loss and exercise commitments when you have small children!
YAY for you, Mandy! I know you can do it. How do I know? Posting it on a very public forum like your blog is VERY motivating! :o) Good luck, I'll be watching you and cheering you on! (I wish I could go walking with you...) :o)
Mandy, you are so cute! I have thought about posting a weight loss goal on my blog to keep motivated... but I chickened out. Keep it up-- and I will try, too! (PS. I'm excited your in town. We all need to get together.)
I tagged you....see my blog.
okay, love the blog make over! you figured out how to customize it! how did you do it??
That's awesome that you are losing weight. I'm trying, sometimes it is just so difficult! What can I say? I love my chocolate!!!
Mandy, I love your new blog header. How did you do that? I've seen that done and would love to do something like that.
