Nicole~Happy Birthday! I have not remembered to weigh myself in the morning before I eat. So I don't know how much I have gained over the holidays plus I guess it wouldn't be entirely accurate since it is my TOM. :sad: Christi~Seriously nice burn! Stacey~I will take you up on introducing myself again. I am Katie. I have…

Nicole~How was your Christmas and New Years? Amanda~Was just wondering if it was safe for you to exercise so close after having your baby? I was always told I was suppose to wait until 6 weeks. You can get to your goal weight by then. Welcome heabear! For the ticker you go to tools tab and then ticker. Hope that helps.…

Stacey~Good idea! I will have to try to remember to weigh myself tomorrow morning. I always forget until after I have eaten. :grumble: Well since I have made the goal of getting more water I have been able to get in 7 glasses up from only 1. I know I can get in even more than that but for now I am pleased that I have done…

Barb~Oh my goodness how scary is that! I hope that she changes her mind too! If she doesn't the only advice I could give you is turn to the Lord I guess that would even apply if she does. I know that he can help comfort you and help you get through any trial that you go through. :flowerforyou: Stephanie~Way to go on the…

Home~ Way to go on keeping it in. :wink: I would have exploded and told him to get off his lazy butt and help out with the kids (even if he isn't lazy). Glad that he started to help you out more though. Welcome Stephanie! Way to go on giving up your pepsi for 3 days that is a big thing.:drinker: Christi~ Glad that you are…

You have some yummy looking ideas here Diane! Re your last post on this thread. Just remember that the best way to get to your final goal is with baby steps. You are doing great!

Kimmiebear~I can completely sympathize! I have not exercised since before Christmas. :( To be able to get in a shower without someone bugging me is like a miracle. Welcome Bethany!

I think that it is gross when women go so far as to look like body builders but that is my opinion. Now don't get me wrong I think it is good for women to have some definition but not to the extent of looking like a man!

Barb~I got to say that I am grateful for the clarification! I seriously thought that you were saying you thought that your mom was going to die in surgery. :sad: Glad to hear that I was wrong. Sorry to hear about the death of your step brother's GMa! Welcome Ley!

Barb~ I am sorry to hear that your mom is going in for heart surgery! I hope that the stress lifts soon in your part of the world. :flowerforyou: Welcome Heather!

Nicole~We all got to try out our new toys and stop all other projects right?! :laugh: I am ready to put hubby's scarf to the side and try out some of the patterns that I got. The hubby bought me two books one that shows you different stitches and items that you can make using the knifty knitters and the other showing you…

Nicole~did you get your sewing projects done? I am still working on the hubby's scarf. I need to still start on the kids scarf. Plus I was wanting to make my sisters and mom aprons. Welcome Kimmiebear and Ashley! This is a great group of ladies.

When I was pregnant I ate hard boiled eggs, peanuts, beef jerky, peanut butter on bread/crackers. But everyone's body is different and you like you said the chicken makes you sick so go with what your body can handle.:smile: Congrats on being pregnant though.

benbidder & rlz1972~ Welcome! This is a great group of ladies to chat with. Nicole~I know what you mean on the sewing projects. I didn't get mine done either some I didn't even get started. I was a total slacker. :laugh: Christi~Way to go! Oh and take it from me, who has a bizillion kids :wink: , yes it does get better…

Nicole~How is your gift making going? Melissa~Have you tried using vaseline on your son's skin? My lil guy who is 2 has eczema and his Dr. told me to use vaseline and man it works like a miracle! That is sad that he has that many problems I hope that it works for him to go gluten free. I will have to look into the…

Nicole~what allergies do you have? I am making oreo cookies, chocolate chip, brownies, caramels, fudge and suckers. So far I am done with the oreo cookies and caramels. I have a long way to go. :tongue: To answer the ? ahead of time the hubby likes to give to LOTS of people (this year there is 39 families on the list). So…

Just got back from the allergist. The verdict is NOT a major allergy to milk. WOOHOO!!! Just an intolerance to it and they suggest to slowly start to give him milk to have it be where his tummy gets used to it. If it happens to be where he starts to have diarrhea again then I stop and try again in 6 mo -1 yr. I am glad…

Christi~way to go on the loss! Katie~that is awesome that you ran a half marathon! I don't have room to talk on the logging I have just got back into it myself but it sure does feel better to do it. As far as the exercise moving just makes you feel better. Melissa~I hear you on the wanting to get int the healthy BMI range…

The Thank you card idea is a great one. My suggestion would be to do it through the mail though. The hubby and I recently took the Dave Ramsey FPU classes and that is one of the things that he suggests to do. You need to set your self apart from everyone else.

As far as your question on how many discs come in the p90x and turbo jam there are more than one. In the p90x there is like 12 and I can't remember exactly how many are in the turbo jam. I really like the kettle ball idea I think I might have to try that one to keep the workouts interesting.

Nicole~I am going to try to keep some gum on the ready if I think I am getting out of hand. The hubby has been trying to help remind me too. Plus the thought of having to log it on here (my diary is open to view not sure if it is just for friends or everyone) but that helps keep me on track too because then I feel guilty…

I like to do ab jam (turbo jam) the hubby likes the ab ripper x (p90x). As for the butt and thighs I love the windsor pilates buns & thighs it really works out those muscles and lifts it.

So the chocolate party was fun but not very many people that I invited were able to come. However I have had two friends that couldn't come say that they would host a party for Trish. The chocolate was yummy too! Especially the chocolate covered cinnamon dusted almonds. As Trish called them "crack" because they have a…

I logged my food today AND exercised! Didn't do so good on the water though BUT I stayed under my calories. :bigsmile:

Nicole~:sad: I am sorry to hear that! I will also pray for some fertility to go your way. I joke with others that I can send some fertility their way would you like some??? I will gladly send some. :flowerforyou: Oh and way to go on the loss. Stacey~Way to go on the loss. I have been trying to pop gum in my mouth when I…

I just wanted to pop in and say that if you ladies don't already have the cooking light fresh food fast 5 ingredients 15 minute recipes you have GOT to get it for your house! Talk about taking the stress out of making dinner. It has literally been a life saver for me and the food that I have made from it has been yummy!…

Nicole~Sounds like you are busy with your projects. I am supposed to be making scarfs for the family but have gotten stalled on it. They shouldn't be too hard to finish. So I am sure that I will get them done for Christmas. Yay for me I log all my food yesterday and plan to do the same today! On today's agenda clean the…

Nicole~have not had the chocolate party yet. That is this Saturday the 18th. I will let you know how it goes. I am really trying my hardest to have it be a good turn out for Trish so that she can get some good sells and hopefully pick up some new customers. I will "keep my fingers crossed for you".:flowerforyou: :drinker:

Stacey~Way to go on the working out! Christi~Way to go on getting to the gym. Veronica~We all know how it is to have some sort of vice. :wink: I agree with Stacey and Christi on their advice just work on one thing at a time and don't beat yourself up if you mess up one day. Just pick yourself up dust yourself off and go at…

Stacey & Nicole~It wasn't just the nasty looks that she gave. She also counted the kids up and then in a nasty tone said my good L@#$ are you kidding me! Yeah he had to stay put where he was at he was so peeved at her but oh well not much you can do for those that are blatantly rude like that. Oh and we get it all the time…
