We found a book called Parenting with Love and Logic...or maybe it's just called Love and Logic. Anyways, we have a 9 year old, but we started it at about 7 and I tell you what it was MAGIC! It is based on letting the child make decisions (empowering them). And yes, a tantrum is a decision, but it has consequences. When…

Very cool. Now I just need to be brave enough to let someone take a "before" picture.

I think this is called "calorie cycling" if that helps you in your search.

I was taking a "fitness" yoga class---which is apparently doing yoga poses as fast as possible for an hour. Well, as my friend and I were setting up our mats in walks my husband's boss...the only man in the class. He was so busy flirting that he didn't even notice me, so he set up his mat right in front of me.…

Yup, heater was broke. My DH has redeemed himself by fixing it before I woke up. (Luckily, the last time it broke he bought the wrong part and this time it was exactly what he needed.) The house is almost bearable. I'm going to go take a nap until it is an acceptable temp.

How are my darling son and husband sleeping so soundly? It is freezing in our house! Either the furnace is broken or my husband has turned into the heat miser! It is 61 degrees in here...oops, nope now it's 60. I just can't sleep when it feels like my nose is going to fall off. I am cold and cranky and desperately avoiding…

If so, I think I got it too, but my body refused to allow the extra calories in...I have some medical problems and one of them is difficulty swallowing. After dinner, I started coughing so hard I "lost" half of what I had eaten :sick: ..my ever supportive husband asked me how I was going to log that! :grumble:…

Congratulations on the weight loss and positive attitude. Who knew eating could be so rewarding?

Ooops! I guess I borrowed it and forgot to give it back. But, by all means I'm finished you can have it the rest of the week!

Dana, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I think in a time of grieving it is natural to seek out "comfort" foods. If at all possible try to find your comfort in family and friends...but don't beat yourself up about overeating during this time...your heart is trying to heal and sometimes that takes chocolate, lots and…

Here in the States we can use the white pages online to do a "reverse lookup"..to find an address by using the phone number. I don't know if you have this kind of service, but it might help if you decide to send the certified letter...or a some other special "gift"---dead fish, perhaps?:devil:

It's great to hear that this will all become second nature at some point. I sometimes feel like it's easier just not to eat than to be constantly logging my meals. Unfortunately, I have found I am sitting at the computer at 9 pm with 500 calories left to eat. Not that I mind an evening snack, but it's hard to convince my…

I am blonde and the one time I tried (Loreal--never again!) to color my hair at home my hair picked up the purple toner color. I tried Dawn detergent...it didn't work...and it is super drying. I called Loreal and they were no help, so I called Clairol (even though it wasn't their product) and they recommended Metalex. You…

Atkins is based on extreme protein intake...too much protein can be hard on your kidneys , which is why they recommend checking your urine for ketones. However, if you are talking about occasionally going over in reasonable amounts and you don't have kidney issues you should be just fine.

Gas? :blushing: No, really kerri's probably right. Even a small difference in where you measure can be significant. I try to use "landmarks". Special freckles or scars that I line my tape up with...but if you are blemish free maybe you can use your belly button as a landmark and pick specific distances up and down for your…

2287+2 (in addition to my last post)= 2289 Yippee!

I melt from the head down...I've never lost enough to make it all the way to my chunky knees and ankles!:grumble: How did I post this twice?? Sorry!

I am so sorry for your loss. Your family (and her's) are in my prayers. May you feel God's arms wrapped around you in this time of need.:cry:

It's kind of like a heart rate monitor, but it doesn't record your heart rate. It is recording fluctuations in body temp among other things to measure actual calories burned. The website I listed has it on sale for $200, so it is in the price range of a HRM and since I can't use a HRM due to the elastic (I have a latex…

Anyone out there using the bodybugg? (Biggest Losers are using them) You wear them on your arm and they calculate (accurately?) the amount of calories you use each day. I was wondering how the online service works. Do you have to use it for as long as you use the bodybugg or can you use it alone? How much does the service…

Dear Nine Year Old With a Cell Phone, I am thrilled that your parents have deemed you mature enough to have your very own phone. They however, are not on the receiving end of your calls. I love it when you call and when I say hello, you just sit there. It brings back the good old days of stalker phone calls. I also love…

You know what? In the past when I was a 12, I wanted to be a 10... when I was a 10, I wanted to be an 8...when I was an 8, I wanted to be a 6. I've always been under the impression, I'm never done. I just need to lose 10 more pounds. I had a huge wake up call. My neighbor's gorgeous 17 year old daughter borrowed some…

Okay, I haven't been watching as faithfully as I usually do. But, since they are weighing in as individuals now (not teams), can Amy ask to have Jillian as her trainer? For some reason, I thought something like that happened in a past season. I think she needs to jump ship or the "crazies" are gonna get her.

Mars and Venus, baby. Mars and Venus. Thank you all for continuing this thread...it is putting my rant into perspective. I will however post it soon for your amusement.

Oh, wow...giving up caffeine is really bringing out the blonde in me! I see...you KICKED the homeless man, not licked him...sorry. Will drink a pop before answering anymore posts.:blushing:

Okay, I understand missmustard licking her friend's boyfriend because he was covered in chocolate...but what was the homeless guy covered in that was so irresistible? :sick:

Okay, I just stumbled across this thread...and I'm not sure how it died. I have been laughing for 20 minutes. I don't have a "letter" yet, but I wanted to resurrect this so I could continue my giggling. So, those of you who need to "sound off", please do...laughing burns calories, right?

Welcome! I actually lived in Mt. Prospect for a few years when I was growing up.(I think Old Willow Falls Rd?) Good thing you didn't live in CA too long or you might have forgotten what a real winter feels like! I've only been on the site for a few weeks, but so far I have found it very encouraging and easy to follow (plus…
