Okay all, I am going to snap. We had another snow storm last that included freezing rain. So, with 4 extra children with me today (I run a childcare business) I really need some support so I don't turn to cookies. We've gone sledding which helped pass a little time but I still have 5 hours to avoid over eating. We've done…

A Tough Week
Many of you know that I posted a prayer request for my son last Thursday. Well, I am finding that I need help, so I decided to post what the request was about. We were confronted by our pastor and his wife last Wednesday night about our son. They believe he is autistic...at least to some degree. We have known our child is…

Help with my snackin' boyfriend
As with most people once you've been with your partner for a certain length of time, it seems that you both start gaining a little bit of weight together. It doesn't help when you both have terrible eating habits. I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years. We have two kids together. Since I became pregnant with my second…

Things that make you think......
Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?" Who was the first person to say "See that chicken there....I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's butt." Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible…

No Pudge Fudge Brownies
Okay, has anyone tried these? I saw the box in the grocery today and you mix it with low-fat vanilla yogurt. They claim you can also make individual servings instead of the whole mix. Is it any good? Is it comparable to a real brownie? Thanks :flowerforyou:

Strength Training

How do I find out the amount of calories I am burning during strength training? Does anyone else have this problem?

10 Things about Women!!
1. PMS is not a lame excuse to be able to yell at you. It's a great excuse. 2. We really can pump our own gas. It's just that we've got this fantasy of you as a '30s-era full-service station attendant. You'd look so cute in the hat. 3. We're not complimented when you call your ex a slut. She dated you, too. So what are we?…

Very proud of myself!
Today was my final weigh in for the Diet Derby at work. I've been on this site for 8 weeks, and I've lost a total of 11 pounds. I'm so psyched because my goal was 10. I have become a firm believer in this site and how it can help you lose and maintain weight! My next goal is just that...to maintain and maybe lose a few…

What in the world?
So because of Excercise, I have like 700 extra calories to eat, about 1050 left for the day-however, I have only 8 grams of fat left- Does anyone else battle this? Lots of calories left to eat, but not much fat? Or does no one else count fat grams along w/ calories?

Help! Studying makes me want to eat!
So I am taking a pretty intense course for work and the exam is in a couple of weeks. The problem is that when I study (which is most of my free time lately), I feel the need to eat!

I've been living on green tea. Question though,…

Guess what I saw?
I went for my walk yesterday, without layers of snowgear on. It was the most beautiful day in PA. At one point I actually felt a warm breeze on my face. But, here's the best part. The ground here is still snow covered, except for the hills on the south side. At one hill, I came upon a whole flock of Robins digging for…
