That is just frustrating that is going on! Just one more thing that is going down hill in this country....

WildcatMom~Teething is always hard on both parents and baby. :tongue: Good luck I hope that all goes well. Krislshoe~It all evens out some days being under others over. I hope that you are able to get in your run although both those alternative workouts are good ones. Nicole~Thanks I'll keep that in mind for when I start…

Welcome newcomers! ajweekley~I just do it with the kids around. I put my baby in his bouncer and then the others play. Sometimes I will have one of them exercise with me and then they will stop. My kids are pretty good about staying out of my way, they don't want to get whacked in the head. :laugh: When they do start to…

Your body uses the food that you eat as fuel for you to be able to function. I eat 3 meals and 2-3 "snacks" a day and it works for me. My sister went to a nutritionalist (sp?) and he told her that you should be eating more often to keep your metabolism high. If made sense to me so that is why I started to do it that way.…

Stacey~You made me :laugh: with the rice comment. The joke with my siblings is that I can burn water. :laugh: I don't think I do that bad now but still do occasionally burn the ground turkey. :grumble: That is when I am preoccupied with something else and not paying that close of attention to the dinner. Laundry counts as…

If you are taking in too much sodium you could be retaining water. I am sorry that you are disappointed. :flowerforyou:

Find something that you enjoy doing and do it! If you find something to be boring then you are not going to want to do it. I have a stationary bike and it is dead boring BUT I have videos that I love to do. I like to dance but I am not that great at it so Turbo Jam works good for me. When it is warm outside I like to go…

I only eat Kashi cereals. Very yummy high in protein and fiber makes you feel full longer.

Just this morning I burned 335 calories in 20 min. I think it also depends on the exercise that you are doing some are more intense than others and Kettleball looks like one of the more intense. Just found this article http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/news/20100212/kettlebell-workouts-burn-calaories-fast

I made is so that my daily calorie goal was 1600 a day because I did not want to be gaining anything back. I did this by putting the weight I wanted to lose each week to a 1/2 lb. You may lose slower but "slow and steady" wins the race. :wink:

YEP! I think that shoveling is just as much a workout as some workouts.

Nicole~Thank you I will have to try that when I get the courage to do it. :laugh: How long did it take you to do one room? Barb~You are doing awesome on that 30 day shred! Melissa~I have been successful on posting here but not exercising until recently when Stacey invited me to be "accountable" to her everyday. It has…

Welcome Wildcatmom! Way to go on the transition with the baby. Katie~Thank you! It sure does feel good to lose after gaining. The inches are going to come off. Stacey~Checking in with you. I got my exercise in today. I am thinking that I am going to do some "weight training" later, I bench press my kids. :laugh: . It works…

Nicole~So how did you get the wallpaper and glue off? Our kitchen and part of our dining room have wallpaper and I am not looking forward to taking it down for that reason but it is so dang out dated! It's at least from the 70's. :laugh: Christi~Way to go on the loss!

On the subject of fast food places and every one there not being thin. I have a friend that is going through a divorce and her soon to be ex keeps taking their girls to McDonald's every week. Well their daughter has gained over 20 lbs in a year and a half. Doctor is worried about the weight gain and asked the mom to watch…

Amanda~Way to go on hitting the 180's! Doesn't time just fly when it comes to babies?! I can't believe my baby is almost 17 months and what is even crazier to me is that he is almost that and I am NOT expecting another. :laugh: By this time I would be either VERY pregnant or a newborn. I weighed in today and measured…

Stacey~I know what you are saying on the food. I completely sabotaged myself yesterday. A friend of mine asked me if I could go to the store for her. She couldn't go because her hubby was here helping my hubby put in a exterior back door. When I was at the store getting her stuff for her I seen Chex mix honey nut and of…

Stacey~FYI Saturday and Sunday is going to be my rest days, for now anyways. Thank you for you support!

Hello HOT mama! You look fantastic!!!

Stacey~ I hear you on the cookies being your weakness. That is what I have done is I have stopped keeping that stuff in my house because when I make them I can eat A LOT in a very short time. Now how to get the hubby from buying the store cookies which are just as bad of a temptation?! I actually made up a workout schedule…

First welcome to all the newcomers! Amanda~I hope that your lil one is doing okay. Stacey~I am with you on in awe that Katie gets two workouts in one day. I am having a hard time getting the one.:laugh: Katie~Seriously you are a rock star (something we tell each other here at my house when we are impressed with each…

Had a really good day today. I exercised stayed under my calories and drank quite a bit of water. YAY! I got to say though that I did not expect that much calories in the Costco muffin. WOW!!!

Stacey~try some acidolphlus (sp?) for the upset stomach. Also glad to hear that you are doing good on the snacking. Everyone is getting so much snow and I am at an empass (sp?). A part of me is glad that it isn't snowing here because MAN it is cold here and a part of me would love to see some more, it is so pretty. LOL…

Welcome to all the newcomers! Katie~LOL I got to say that you sound A LOT like my hubby. He LOVES the snow and if it doesn't snow enough for him he gets really grumpy. Well the hubby is feeling a little bit bettter from his sledding incident. It still hurts him to sit down and bend over but he says it doesn't hurt him as…

Stacey~Nope this time around we did not go toPark City to go sledding. We went to a park here in Bountiful. The last time we went we went to Mountain Dell. That is on the way to Park City but not quite in Park City. I would recommend going there to go sledding. I haven't had any bad experiences going there and I have gone…

skinnydreams~good to know that with the lemon and soda water. Christi~I can't stand cherry flavored anything. I tried that one but it is def not my fav. I really like the raspberry ice one the best. Welcome to all newcomers! As Christi pointed out we just post what ever we want to share. Barb~My hubby would LOVE that kind…

Sarah~Thanks for the info on the quilt and on the plexi glass. That way I don't have to borrow the squares from my mom and I don't have to go get them at craft store. I am hoping to be able to start soon. I am almost done with my current project so maybe next week I can start. That would make the hubby very happy since I…

skinnydreams~I think that sounds like a good idea. I was having a hard time getting in my water recently and started using the crystal light and it has helped me to drink it more. I haven't tried the soda water with it though. Got to tell us how it turns out if you try it.

Wow that was a lot that I missed. Christi, Sarah, Katie any other military families~I couldn't even imagine what you and your families go through for our country. THANK YOU!!! Christi~I got to say that for me it looks a whole lot scarier on the "inside" than on the "outside". Of course this is all I have ever known and…

Val~Thanks for the laugh! That is what everyone says to us. After they find out how many children we have they always respond with "are you done yet?" :laugh: :laugh: I just love babies and children and if we can do it why not right?! I weighed myself this morning and the verdict is.....I gained 1 pound! :grumble: At least…
