YMCA!!!

I'm the boring one in this thread. 2 would be too many for me. My husband has been my one and only partner and I don't care to have any other partners than him. I'm hopelessly devoted. :)

I agree - if you don't want to take her to get fast food, then don't. But IMO you need to show her unconditional love and support - no matter what she does. Who cares if she doesn't work out?? Who cares if she's not making better eating habits? Don't let that come between you. You can only control you. You cannot control…

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. I am bawling because this was me. Totally me. Completely me. March 2011 I began training to run 1 mile. I couldn't even run a quarter mile. It has been a LONG long hard road. But this morning I ran 7 miles. Saturday I will run 11. In October I will complete my first half…

I'll add you! My diary is public as well.

I agree with everything she said... seriously. If you ever watch 'the biggest loser' or 'extreme makeover: weight loss edition' they have those people on a set amount of cals/day... usually between 1200-2000 cals/day - the smaller females 1200 cals/day, the larger males 2000 cals/day with a wide variety in between. Then…

ARobertsMurra - 9! Super cute hair and girl!

Are you aloud to take him?? If I were you, I would take him myself...

I have a question about the 'miles'. I know it says walking, jogging, running, or biking.... I do a TON of 'spinning' classes - on a stationary bike. Does that count toward my miles? Like today I did a 45 minute spinning class but wont' be doing any running... can I count that spinning class as a few miles? Just was…

I was until I got married. SO glad I made that decision too. Good for you1

I also just peeked in your diary... great healthy choices but yes very carb heavy. I try to stick with no more than 30 carbs per meal/snack. You can probably try to stick with 30-40 carbs per meal/snack. and try to make protein intake as close as possible even with carb intake. Carbs are NOT my friend... even if I'm…

I would agree about less carbs more protein. MFP has goals of like 55% cals from carbs, 15% from protein, and 30% from fat or something like that. But I've been following the advocare diet which suggest 40% from carbs, 40% from protein, and 20% from fat. Protein shakes are fabulous... string cheses... lean meats - lots of…

I was at a plateau at 200 lbs... did a cleanse and busted through that. Now I've plateaued again at 185. The company I use for my cleanse (advocare) suggests a cleanse every 90 days, and that is up, so I'm going to cleanse again. It's a nice gentle cleanse. I'm hoping that helps bust through this plateau! Soemtimes our…

Holy wow!! 60?? i did 20. LOL - i did 20 and was happy I made it to 20! Those are tough! hahaha :bigsmile:

Um... 'learn to control your children' is pretty jugemental. You have no idea what a mother with her kid on a leash deals with. She's chosing to keep her child safe despite what *others* may think of her decision. YOu obviously are judging the mother for using a leash by saying that she can't control her child. She IS…

Good for you for never having needed one and never having a child that would run off. That is awesome. Neither of my children are or were like that either. But some of the children that I watch are like that. One little girl will specifically run off wanting to be chased. It's dangerous. And it's not bad for her mental…

My point exactly. Some kids just need it - no matter how great the parents are!! Grrr... I hate when people are jugmental of other's parenting techniques!!

Some children are more independant than others. That's just the way it is. If you don't like leashes fine - dont' use them on your children. Don't judge other motehrs for wanting to keep their children safe!

Which would people prefer: Their kids on a leash with the possibility of being 'degraded' or having a 'mental complex' or their kid to be kidnapped or lost or smooshed by a car?? I think 'degraded' or a complex is much better! I am an in home child care providor and also have 2 kids of my own. I have seen how different…

Brain cramp

Amazing and motivating!!!

we are 2-3 times a week... I would like more but he works WAY too much!! When he is on vacation or has a rare day off it's more. It would be even more if we didn't have kids... but... that IS how we made the kids... lol !! Love this thread. :laugh:

:laugh: me too

I did fabulous last week and lost 3.8 lbs... but I think I gained that all back in teh past 2 days! yikes!! weekend+holiday=me eating way too much! yikes! :embarassed:

Yay for week 2!! I posted my weight on the spreadsheet... do we need to post here as well?

I weighed in this morning at 187.7. That's a 3.8 lb loss this week. (started at 191.5) woot!

Ok... the leg lift and hold thing for 60 secs today was tough for me. I know we are supposed to only lift our legs up a few inches and hold... I couldn't even do that 15 seconds. But if I raised my legs up - not quite to 90 degrees but probably 75 degrees, I could hold that for 60 seconds. But no more than that. I need…

BAHAHAHA!! I just did this with almonds today!!!

Yay!! :)

Hi!! I'm not one to check the 'group' pages much... I wish it would send email notifications when someone posts back to you or something. :) And the strands get confusing when they get really long so I tend to be a browser not a poster. But here i am!! Those lower ab roll overs were killer today!! I DO have a question....…
