You go, Momma! That’s AWESOME. I’m also aiming for 135. You are an inspiration.

WOW!!! Congrats!

I disagree, I do not think it's adorable at all. When I hear a small child cuss, I think that child must have some lousy parents.

Ideally, my children will never cuss. Realistically, at 15 if I hear "****" on occasion I will give a disapproving look and move on. The f bomb is not okay until they are out of my house and then only if they watch who they say it in front of. I don't think cussing is ever a good thing but I do it, so I can't be mad at my…

Good for you!!

I was kind of a floater... early high school years I was a party animal (I was the cops daughter so I rebelled( i.e. booze hidden in my bedroom closet) but my latter years I got saved and became a hard core bible thumper. Now as an adult I have found a happy medium.

I agree. I have the same cut as you and I get it super short in the back. It also cuts down on having to get it cut so often. Every three weeks is already too often for me! Besides, my husband likes it short because he says he likes being able to kiss my neck without getting a mouthful of hair!

Fit!

Pretty eyes!

Lets take a moment to give our sympathy to the size 4 girl who you referred to as "not normal". Now that thats done, I agree totally with you. It's nice to see that store mannequins are finally going to be realistic. Now if stores would stop overstocking sizes 0-4 and actually stock sizes for women who actually eat. BTW,…

Rice Salads (there are hundreds of varieties to try, waldork, carrot & raisin, etc)

I madea Apple Cinamon Bread Pudding in the crock pot one year for Christmas. I would have never thought of making dessert in the crock pot either, but it was delicious!

You do this in the crock pot? How long do you cook it for?

If you google "Stupide Easy Sausage & Potatoes" it comes up and will give you the recipe and nutrition info.

Thank you all for your input, I am absorbing it! LOL, theres a lot to absorb!

Rock those skinny jeans girl!!!!!

The Nasty Nati!!!!!!!!

My husband thinks I am nuts because I use the laundry for extra storage! LOL I can't wait to show him your post.

Thanks! I do wonder how much of it is a problem and how much is an excuse. I don't see her often but when we do get together I have never noticed her eating crap. She eats reasonably, so I tend to believe her. I just wish there was more I could do to support her.

I suggested she find a new doctor as well. She was upset and said that he made a joke about her husband leaving her. I thought that was tacky. However she says he is the only one around. I appreciate your input.

jeans raspberry filling or caramel filling??

I don't know about your trainer... thats not enough calories to lose weight. Your body is probably in starvation mode. Up your calories by a couple hundred and I bet you see immediate results.

Super Ewww!

For real!!! I typically shower once a day unless I have been working out, gardening, etc.

A couple years ago my doc ordered blood work and told me I was borderline diabetic. Diabetes runs in the family, so it was no big shocker. He told me to switch to wheat everything. I did, wheat bread, wheat pasta, etc. And I have never changed any other diet habits and I have been fine and never did get diabetes. My family…

Good for you! MFP has helped me more than any other diet I have tried. And I have tried lot of them!! Feel free to add me for encouragement. I am pregnant, so not currently losing but I still track my calories every day just to make sure I don't end up the size of a whale!

I have a reallllly long tongue.

Target, Meijer or Walmart. Look near hosiery. I am always cold, so I wear them even when they won't be seen. I have all kinds of cute ones!
