Well, health update from sick ville over here. The day-care called yesterday about 1pm and asked me to come get Harper. Apparently she was screaming and throwing up and generally not happy. She was okay by last night, and never spiked a fever ... bu…

All better today! Thank you for the get well thoughts :) The daycare emailed me today saying there's a huge intestinal virus going around, so I'm sure that was it. Sticking to lots of fluids!

Thanks, Jackie and Francie for the support! I was so depressed and angry with myself after that encounter. I wanted to slip into my easy habits of eating everything in site and sitting on the couch ... but I wrote about it instead. It has actually m…

Lauren - While reading your post here about how you restrict your environment, I was nodding the whoooole time. I'm so the same way. And I easily spiral too. One chip = bag of chips = might as well eat everything in the house. haha, it's bad I know.…

Tricia - you gotta step away from that scale!! Your weight can flutate up to 3lbs during a 24hr period! I know what you're feeling - I used to weigh myself 3x a day (At least) and it became were I was putting all of my energy and focus. The stress o…

Profile Information

About Me:

Some of you may know me already. Even if you don't yet, I'm sure you'll relate! I joined BTL in Jan of 2009, coming off of my highest weight at the time of 275lbs. I've struggled my whole life with weight, and the support and friends I've found here on BTL are unlike anything in the world!! <3

From Jan '09 - August '09 I fought the good fight with you all! I lost weight , gained weight , went from a running-phobic to completing my first 5k, had great and inspirational highs, and those all too familiar lowes. In August '09, my fiance and I moved across the state. Just when I thought I was back in the groove, we found out we were pregnant!

SO NOW I'm back after having my beautiful daughter and better than ever! Here's to doing it all over again in 2010 (and beyond!) Stop by an say Hi - I'd love to support you on your journey. We're all doing this together!!

At 8:31am on June 22, 2010, turn inside out said…: Hey Emily, I was thinking about you this morning! Sending you some positive thoughts through the interwebs :) Hope you're having fun with that beautiful little girl of yours!!

At 11:36pm on June 15, 2010, Tanie said…: Thanks for the encouragement about C25K! I also do not ever run.... but I'm lookin' forward to accomplishing this great task! I'm already planning on repeating week 2 because I'm just not quite accomplishing it at the level I want to.

At 4:40pm on June 15, 2010, Tish said…: Sad news about the Nike mini code. They did away with that option when they revised the site around Xmas time. If you had copied it anywhere, the old code still works and updates. They had a time when they were soliciting ideas for improving the site and LOTS of people replied they wanted to be able to grab the codes. Roni posts the graphic of her runs by using the print screen key. She has a how-to post on her techie blog.

At 3:14pm on June 15, 2010, Christine said…: Henry went through that stage--he was so fussy in the late afternoon?! I think most of it was gas... It was so draining. I would emotionally eat too--found myself mindlessly eating once he settled down--it was my way of replenishing. I still have trouble slowing down and just enjoying my food--I have gotten used to shoveling it in, in case I have to tend to him!

At 10:44pm on June 12, 2010, turn inside out said…: EM! CONGRATULATIONS! Yay! I'm so excited for you! I've missed you!! Can't wait to see pictures!

At 11:47pm on June 9, 2010, Tanie said…: I am so excited to hear about the birth of your baby girl!!! post pics soon!

At 10:13am on June 5, 2010, Erica said…: OMG congratulations Emily on your baby girl! I can't wait to hear more about your little babe! Thanks for your comment! Yes if you get one of Tosca's books I'd definitely get "The Eat Clean Diet Recharged". I really like not counting or having to constantly journal, I feel like I can sustain this long term. Boy the exercise isn't easy though. I hope it comes easier soon! But I'm feeling good! Stay in touch! xoxo

At 10:28pm on June 4, 2010, Heather said…: EMILY!!!! I can't wait to see pictures and hear more about your beautiful baby! I am so looking forward to reconnecting. Still lots of ups and downs but lots I would love to share. I can't believe how fast the time has flown. I know you are one beautiful mommy. I got 12 new recipes this week...on a mission to get my act together. Here is to a wonderful summer!!!!

At 8:18am on May 7, 2010, Erica said…: I'm so excited for you Emily, the birth of your baby will be a life changing experience I'm sure! I look forward to working together on BTL this summer! Have a Happy Mother's Day, you should celebrate!
