I lost weight from bad morning sickness til 20 weeks.I started at 225 for both, lost down to 200. Then I slowly gained up to pre-preg weight with #1 and slightly over with #2. I still had bad food aversions with the rest of the time during my pregnancies. After birth I was below pre preg weight, around 200lbs, and didn't…

Magic Breaks by Ilona Andrews. 7th book in the series, just came out tuesday. Sqeeee!

oh me me! We hit up anime boston every year. Its how I met my husband. I have never actually cosplayed but only because I am too large to do anything I would actually want to do. I am thinking if I can lose the weight, we may do a whole family cosplay since I'm contemplating bringing my 2 little ones next year, but we will…

My husband and I were replacing parts of a fence and my 2 girls were outside. The younger one got tired so daddy brought her in for a nap. A short while later, my 3 year old wanted to go in too. So I said "ok, I was to make some lunch too." She said," yea, I want lunch 3". Yesterday picking her up from daycare she started…

As for specific restaurants...they have all been good. Most of the ones I have been to are bar/grille places. Tia's on Atlantic ave is very nice, has an outdoor eating area, casual. Joe's American bar and grill is also on Atlantic ave, but the atmosphere is more boisterous. Harvard Gardens on Cambridge st is nice,…

Lots of restaurants around the Boston common, plus the state house, the Boston public gardens. There are swan boat rides on the pond in the garden and many many flowers. There is a movie theater if you want to catch a movie. There is also Nick's comedy stop below Remington's, which serve awesome charcoaly burgers, yum! You…

I work in the city but live south of it. Working mom, nearly 32, of 2 youngins (3 year old and 21 month old). I'm on usually during the week :)

yea I'm that way too and I'm glad my husband is as well. We do cuddle and cuddle in bed but when its time to sleep, we both like our space (have a king size bed and still end up kicking each other because we spread out and move a lot....and steal covers :D). My oldest daughter is leaning that way too, she will kick us out…

Chicken and bacon!! Or a nice peppers, onions and mushroom...mmmmmmmmmmm Used to do a bacon, pineapple and garlic in college after frat parties....until one fateful night...:sick:

Hi, I am a 31 year old mom to 2 girls, my youngest is now 19 months old. I completely understand the time crunch. I also work full time and already get up at 5am for work. I try to get my workouts in the evening, even if its something simple like dancing to music while getting dinner ready, the girls love it, they get to…

I'm such a geek. I met my hubby at an anime convention :D My best friend and I started going to a local but huge anime convention after college, just so we were guaranteed to see each other at least once a year. A few years in, I wanted to also meet other people, since I was well into my work grind and rarely got out…

Count me in please :)

I used to think that when I closed my eyes and went to sleep that it would just be morning when I opened them again. I didn't know there were hours of nighttime and sleeping in between.

If you need advice on battling insane morning sickness, I can dole out what worked for me. I only ever made it back to my pre-preg weight when I neared delivery with both girls. I was sick til 20 weeks, could hardly keep anything down, and had severe food aversions the whole pregnancy. Talk to your doctor, learn your…

You can do a special override on fafsa: https://fafsa.ed.gov/fotw1314/help/fahelp29a.htm It is there for kids who are homeless (this can even mean living at a friends because they have no where to go), without family support, and are on there own. That said...I think this girl is being manipulated by people. Especially her…

I was going to second seeing a doctor. Your only 18 and you've been having a 3 week long period? and your feeling dizzy and faint? Worst thing right now would be to do a water fast, it might actually send you to the hospital. Go see a doctor!

I loved the pic captions! looking good hot stuff! Congrats!

I am also the eat all the chocolates type. That being said....if I think its too much, like the giant heart box filled with truffles my hubby got me for valentine's day...then I usually share it. He ate some, I gave some to the kids, my sister and her son came over and they ate some, I ate some. Within 2 days it was gone…

I feel sorry for him but....I feel sympathy for his wife. I watched my father deteriorate over the last 3 years until he suddenly died in october from a hemoragic stroke. During those 3 years, he had breathing problems and ended up on oxygen. My mom turned into his primary caretaker. She got more depressed as he got worse…

Wow! congratulation! I hope to get there someday :) Also...I just want to ask because some of those pics look familiar....were they by change taken at anime boston??? (I go there almost every year, its where I met my husband)

When my little one was that age, I had a hard time doing videos. I would try to put her in the pack n play or jumper seat with toys, but as soon as I started she would get histerical. I eventually figured out she didn't like the fast movements I was making, it upset her somehow. I had to switch to my exercise bike. Now she…

Also, Chinese food has a LOT of salt. You could be retaining water from that. Drink water so your body gets rid of the salt and then weigh in again in a couple of days.

Wow! Happy birthday! Enjoy everything :D

Forgot to say my kids are 2.5 and 16 months. My oldest will sometimes help, sometimes do it on her own, or sometimes refuse. My youngest follows me and either tries to help or takes everything back out that I'm putting away. Don't even ask about the husband....he thinks cleaning fairies come around and do it....grrr....

Yes you can. My parents did this with us when we were teenagers. They wouldn't throw it away but would put it in a trashbag and then put that trashbag in the cars trunk and drive it to work with them. It included things like computer cords so we couldn't go online, video games/system/cords, tv plug, my sister's basketball…

Hmm...are you a little dehydrated from the cold maybe? Try drinking a little extra water or gatorade. Get some rest, feel better!

So that's how to make the designs! I could never figure out how to do it with just a measuring cup. Awesome!

I had this in my early 20s. Had those pains on and off for 2 years before my doctor even figured out it could be my gallbladder. I was being scheduled for surgery when I had a major attack, my bile duct had become so inflamed that it was stuck in the open position and was just dumping bile into my intestines and was…

Well....I was more making fun of our new Englander's careless driving (and need for dunkins). But I have been where you (general) are before, and it was a result of poor municipal planning. Had nothing to do with the storm, it was forecast right and was said it would hit during the afternoon with the peak during rush hour.…

Don't forget while steering the car with our knee! We just got only a couple inches this morning where I live. I was happy that we could just brush off the car and drive over the rest without shoveling. The commute to Boston was kinda slow this morning though. I was happy with the last snow storm, We got up early to shovel…
