Ya'll skinny mama's...

I can't believe it's been a year since surgery... actualy a year and two weeks...

I wanted to check on everyone, say hi and send holiday greetings.  I hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and full of laughter, Who doesn't need a good laugh no days???

I also have a question.. any tips for getting off the last 30 pounds???
I know my running is requiring me to eat a bit more... so once the marathon is over in January, I'm going to cut back the carbs and stuff....

I just am still so giddy.. this is what it looks like on the other side.. and a year out...

WOW....

Love to all,
Amanda

I am glad you popped in!  I have been wondering about you.  You are doing fantastic.  As for getting off those last 30 lbs...they are the hardest!  I would suggest changing up your routine after the marathon.  Also, up the protein and water intake.  Good luck!

CONGRATS on the pregnancy Tam! That's awesome... I hope to be by the end of the year, but I have to get rid of the 30 additional first.. I'll post some updated pics from christmas later tonight.

Thanks so much!  We are super excited and decorating away.  I took a break from that for the holidays but am ready to start backup!  I can't wait to see new pics.

Hey, Amanda!

We have missed you.  I hope you are doing well...it sure sounds like you are!  :)

The last few pounds really do seem to be the toughest to get rid of.  I think the key is persistence...keep doing what we know we need to do, and hang on for the ride.  Just think of how far you have come -- marathons -- WOW!

Keep in touch and good luck!  :)

Hi Cindy

I think I'm going to add spinning to the mix when I'm done with marathon training.. although I have a couple races already planned for 2009... I want to actually start taking aeorbic classes at the gym... now THAT is a new thing :) Me, Group class?? WHAT!?

I hope to be around more in '09...

Hope things are well with you :)

Hey Amanda! Glad to see you again. Last 30 lb huh? I'm with you. I've got work to do myself. I'm honestly seek out your nutritionist, get back to basics and exercise (change it up though every so often as our bodies get "used" to things after a while). You might try hitting up Sporty Jill and Jackie for some tips as well. All best!
