My 12 year old has speech delay too. She has been in special ed ever since she was 2 1/2. When she went to kindergarten she couldn't make more than a two-three word sentences. She is now in 6th grade and doing pretty good. She has A LOT of trouble with "word finding". She doesn't say ummmmm that much anymore, she just…

MUSIC.... Some pumped up or hard rock always gets me motivated... the louder the better!

Sure, today is the last day and I just figured out that technically I am a stay-at-home-mom. LOL I go to school two days a week and the little ones will be going to Montessori while I go to my college courses. I have one year left (if all goes well). I have a double major, Graphic Design and Photography. How much fun is…

:flowerforyou: Good for you for listening to the doctor. I know the doctor told us (after the fact) that kids that have eczema tend to run the strongest risk of food allergies. Also, the doc told us the Allergies, Asthma and Eczema are all on the same gene and if you have that gene, you could have anywhere from 1 to all 3…

here is a little Queen rewritten to fit the challenge.... "bump bump bump another day bites the dust" I have another NO LATE NIGHT SNACKING under my belt. That makes 3 I think.

Nice to see you here wannabeeskinny! Here's to controlling our grazing :drinker:

I have been doing really good on this challenge today. I put all the snacky stuff out of sight (otherwise, I actually put them away in the cupboards and only took them out at planned times. I am just getting ready to make supper and it has raw meat involved so I won't be chomping on that. LOL. During the time I like to…

I did make it through last night. Tonight will be night 3.

GREAT JOB!!!!! Remember that Diet soda stimulates your appetite. Actually any nurtra-sweet/aspartame stimulates your appetite. I got off of Coke by drinking Diet Coke for a month or so and now I drink mostly water, milk and some juice (I usually water my juice down a little). I have only lost 10 pounds, but I have been…

LOL!!!! I completely hear that one.... I am not brave enough to check the ounces on that one.

I just saw a thought on another thread.... When you want to eat after your cut off time, do a craft project... a tie blanket, a scrap book page, needle work, whatever your interest. Even if you sit down and write a letter or two to extended family or friends. Just another thought anyway.

I usually binge when I have a couple drinks.... I then want pizza, mozzarella sticks (the deep fried type), Burger king, Candy bars, Beef jerky or beef sticks. I could empty my fridge during/after a night of drinking. It is really scary. It makes me think that my depression medication isn't working and I am at the highest…

Great idea about craft projects and puzzles. I think when I am bored I eat... day or night. I am on track so far for night two. I didn't get in my cocktail though. I had a snicker-doodle cookie instead. I think I enjoyed that even more than I would have enjoyed the cocktail. Well, I am off to exercise before my hubby gets…

When you feel tired, walk to the copier or the water cooler or to the bathroom to put some cold water on the back of your neck and on your face. The colder the better.

I hit a 300 once on that game.... the funny thing is that I was drunk. I did better off balance.... I have only been in the mid 200's sober. I have toned the drinking way back to be healthier. I blame the alcohol for that first 10 pounds I lost.... I think it was mike's hard lemonade..... I would drink a 12 pack in one…

There is a no late night snacking thread... You should join us. It is a challenge, but very supportive. Wanda

I think I forgot to mention that when I do the step aerobics on wii fit I put an older 6" step from my fitness routine in the 80's underneath it. That makes it an 8" step. WhoooHooo

I love Rayman Raving Rabbids also!!! My hubby bought Rapala fishing..... Totally useless. He hates it.... The totally fake fishing on wii play is better.. So don't buy the Rapala game... it is all advertising about their lures and you can only fish with their lures.

I just figured out that the glass that I have been counting as one cup is really 22 ounces. WOW!! Makes my water consumption much more doable. I filled it and poured it into a measuring cup to find out how many ounces. The bottle I take to the gym is 32 ounces. WOW!

Oh I am totally in on this. I have the same snacking problem. Even though I do log them in and stay within my calories, I still do it and cringe when I do it.

I have the same problem.... My dietitian told me I had to change when I ate my carbs and exercise more regularly. She suggested to trick my body into a new routine I should exercise the moment I start feeling tired. If I can get in 40 minutes or more she said it is ok to nap if I am still tired. At least I have my…

I have a Wii.... It is a lot of fun. Boxing can really get you sweating... My hubby made a drinking game out of it. I think it is fun without the drink. I bought Wii Fit and I finally unlocked "Free Step" you can do step aerobics while watching your favorite tv show or the news. The sound for the Wii comes over the…

One day under the belt.... But I woke up starving this morning LOL I had a banana and a yogurt for breakfast and while I was getting the kiddies their breakfast, I realized I wasn't hungry anymore. Now it is almost lunch time and the hunger is finally coming back. I hope to go for 2 tonight. Cut off at 7:30 still. That way…

I just did the one on the link and it worked. I saved the images down to my desktop and will try adding them to my profile tonight. Exciting... I have been wondering the same thing for a while now.

Is anyone else having a hard time losing the weight????? I am staying within my calories, I am exercising, I have been trying not to eat late night snacks..... The weight just wont go away.... HELP!!!! I want it gone and it keeps finding me... Any Ideas??? I try to get 1 hour of aerobics in a day or and hour on the…

I was in on the old board, fell down went under the holiday bus, now I am ready to really move forward. I readjusted my goals, my workout, my socializing... EVERYTHING i could think of to help me have a better chance at success. My cut-off will be 7:30.... after that I will only have water or hot tea (to relax). Grammymax,…

I would put it in as 1 hour of lo impact aerobics. I know it isn't a high impact work out.... I have the whole series. I can't do it in front of my hubby either. I am WAY to self conscious.

Some elliptical machines are built for different framed people. I have a hard time finding one to buy because they don't "feel" comfortable. I like the ones at the gym, but the ones at the store feel like they are made for people that are way taller than me. Elliptical machines burn calories like no buddies business!!!

Bethskiles, Look at my profile. What happened to me is really scary. I think about what could have happened and it is all because of being overweight. I may not be as heavy as some people, but evidently my body doesn't want to be overweight and it doesn't want me cramming a bunch of fat and cholesterol into it. I have lost…

No rest for the wicked
