If you checked-in at last week's check-in, I placed a 
next to your name. That's how you'll know if you checked-in or not. If we didn't hear from you last week, or ever, then there won't be any face next to your name. (I changed this b/c it was too hard to update everyone's info with a bazillion googley eyes staring at me! LOL!) Don't be afraid to update us, ladies! We're here for you!!!
Some of you have goal dates creeping up on you... please let me know what you would like for me to do with your stats. I'm happy to adjust them as you see fit. Good luck!!!
You can be a pregnant FM as well. We can keep track of our progress through Mamahood by still eating healthy and exercising as we should. If any of you are pregnant and want to check-in with us, please let me know!
Good luck this week, ladies! You can do it!!! 
Here is the format for our weekly check-ins. I hope this makes it a little interesting for everyone...
1) Please reply with how much you lost this week and how you did it? I will update the list periodically throughout the week. If you also want to post your total weight lost, that would help me out, too! 
2) Please share with us any tips you have on low cal/fat snack foods you have come across, delicious healthy recipes, fun fat-burning activites (hiking, toddler aerobics DVDs, etc.) that may help others to reach their goals, etc. We love to hear them!
3) Have fun with this!! We are here to motivate one another, not stress each other out. Words of encouragement are always welcome!!
*For those who are interested, I thought it might be a good idea to put a weight loss ticker in our siggies. You can get one for free at www.TickerFactory.com. I just think it's a great way to constantly be reminded of how far you've come (for some of us) and/or how far we have to go (for the rest of us
).

Sooooo, we've got 33 FM members, 3 Pregnant members and 2 FM Graduates!!! Yeah!! The list below should be updated. If your info appears incorrectly, or if you want to join us in our weight-loss journey, please reply and let us know! Anyone is welcome!
I was able to create Team Fluffy Mamas on www.sparkpeople.com! If you'd like to join us there as well, you can just search for our team and "join". They send you free encouraging emails with great tips for weight loss!

Re: :::Monday Fluffy Mama Check-In::: (...for real ;)
I thought I just missed last weeks!! LOL I think I did miss the week before though...sorry for being a bad nestie. Anyway I have had no change which is good with all the parties and get togethers we have had this month.
My favorite exercise is Pilates...it's so relaxing.
I have news to share...we were going to start TTC for #2 in October...but with some big event happening in the family next summer (Family wedding and Christening in CA) we've decided to move it up and start trying this month! I haven't hit the goal I wanted to be at before trying, but I am 15 pounds lighter than what I was when we started with DD...so that's makes me happy!
Hope everyone is doing well!!

I went from wanting to puke at any and everything, to now having the most ravenous appetite. This. Is. Dangerous. (LOL) So, time to start being super careful again... and back to running again, as well. With DD#1, I ran up until I was 7 mos along, and this time, the nausea has couched me. Although I still haven't gained this pregnancy yet (which is fine b/c I have a *bit* of padding yanno), I feel like this past week of constant hunger has done me in. DD will love it, she is my little coach, "Faster, Mommy! Faaaaaster!" LOL!
My fav exercise for all-over toning is running. By far.
You poor thing. If your clothes are fitting better, then most likely you HAVE lost weight, girl. Go get a new scale, pronto!
Congrats on TTC! Yay! Maybe you will join us preggo FM's? Hmmm???
Wooooooooo! :::shaking my fluffy booty celebrating with Jessica!!:::
I have no idea what I weigh. Was a bad girl on vacation. Will WI on Friday. I'm scared.
Aw........thanks Hawaii! I am glad I am maintaining it this week. I am still right at 35lbs down! YAH! My new goal is to be down 60lbs by Jan 1st. GOOD LUCK because that is right at holiday time! It will be a struggle I am sure but one I am ready to take on!
My favorite toning exercise?! I DON"T KNOW! That is why I am asking.....lol
Absolutely...because I'll definitely need to stick with you guys for when I am no longer a preggo FM...this has been the best "diet" I have ever been on and I owe it all to this group.

I'm on vacation this week so all bets are off. I'll be happy to maintain for next week's check-in.
Anyway, as of Sunday morning, I was down .8 pounds. Not too great, but could be worse.
Hi - Can I join? I really haven't been on the Nest much since my little boy was born in March, but I need all the motivation I can get :-) I have a 2 yr old girl as well, which is how I ended up on this board.
I am hoping to be down 50 lbs by March 8, 2010, which is 1 yr from when my son was born. I'm ashamed to say it, but he is 5 1/2 months and I've actually GAINED weight since he was born - BOOHISS! :-(
