Question for the Ladies...
All right... hope you guys don't think I'm a complete idiot for asking this, but can anyone explain to me exactly how your menstrual cycle can affect weight loss/gain??

starting fresh
Okay, so it is monday. I'm going to see if I can get my 8 8oz glasses of water in each day. That is my goal and I hope I can stick to it. I will also try not to drink my 1 - 2 sodas (12 oz) per week. I'm not addicted to soda or anything like coffee so I think I can do this. Water will be all. No matter how boring it is.…

I figured it out TAMTastic
I kept thinking you looked like someone I have seen before. I was watching Tombstone last night and you look like the actress that plays Wyatt Earps lover. I think her name is Kim Delaney.

Does anyone know? Just want info
Why does the box of pasta give a dry ingredient amout? Why can't it just say 1 cup is so many calories? So my question is (and I feel stupid because I could just go boil 2 oz of it but I'm being lazy) how much is 2 oz of spaghetti when it is cooked. I always use it as a meal where a lot of people are at so I don't know…

Maybe it is not my fault....entirely
Just read this article on MSN.COM. As a child I suffered numerous ear infections and had to have reconstructive surgery on both ear drums.. I always wondered why I was the fat kid, while my sisters where bean poles(they never had ear problems). Perhaps this article is an explanation why. "Early Ear Infections May Pack On…

Doing it alone at home?
I am trying really hard to do well and at work it's pretty easy. But when I get home it's a different story because my husband and my daughter who both need to lose weight are not on this journey with me.

What can I do with a 5yr, 6yr and 14 yr old?
My husband works 2 jobs and I am at home with my girls every night. I try to find the time to spend with them and work out but I just can't do it. With the gas prices I can't drive to the local track to walk with them and where I live the terrain is too uneven for me just yet (I cramp up too easily). I have also found that…

I had dinner with a friend Sunday night whom I have not seen since June. I was excited to see her, and was wondering what her reaction would be to my 29 lb weight loss.
