Babies all look like Winston Churchill. That said/shown... I usually just keep my mouth shut. Kids are evil little filth monsters. (Yes, I am a parent).

Most movies. I don't like sitting in front of the TV and only go to a theater once a year or so... there are TONS of movies I've not seen... and frankly, couldn't care less about.* *Exception - Anything with Jason Statham. Huminahumina.

My garage and the local pool.

Have you considered that you might be at your ideal weight already? At 5'4" I was at 23% body fat at 155 lbs (pre-pregnancy). When you're at ideal weight, seeing changes in body composition can take a long time. edit to fix typo.

You eat what is cooked or go hungry. Worked for my mom. Works for me.

Ignore MFPs sugar limits... they're based on the recommended allowance of ADDED sugars. This does not include naturally occurring sugars in fruit, milk, and grain products.

Another metric, brought up on my feed... percentage of income spent on groceries. My grocery budget is almost exactly 10% of my take home pay or just over 8% of my gross pay.

Budget is $250 ($100 one week, $50 all other weeks) per month. This includes toilet paper, cat food, diapers, cat litter, etc. Currently a family of 3 (one guy, one pregnant gal, one 3-1/2 year old, and four cats). Bountiful Baskets + Gardening + pressure cooker & deep freezer = lots of healthy fruits & veggies. Beans are…

2 weeks. :flowerforyou:

Goal is actually Bodyfat Percentage - 18-20% I'm 5'4", should get there at around 150 lbs... after delivery/recovery, of course. :happy:

Paranoia. Toxoplasmosis: Transmission may occur through: [li] Ingestion of raw or partly cooked meat, especially pork, lamb, or venison containing Toxoplasma cysts. Infection prevalence in countries where undercooked meat is traditionally eaten has been related to this transmission method. Tissue cysts may also be ingested…

George: my 18 year old stroke survivor was from a litter who's mom was caught in a neuter and release program... Hawaiian royalty, he is. :smile: Bilbo: yes we took him out of the dryer before running it again. LOL. Pound kitty. Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos: managed to climb up to our second floor balcony at 8 weeks…

Train the child to leave the cat alone.

Iron... but that's okay, I don't iron either. The dryer and a damp towel are our friends. :smile:

Less than $50 per week for me (preggo lady), husband, and 3.5 year old; with $75 for the first week of the month. (this includes non-food items like toilet paper, cat litter, etc, but diapers and such are purchased through Amazon Sub-n-Save and are a separate line item in the budget). We eat a lot of beans, rice, potatoes,…

Just commenting for the crack.

And, of course, getting this in a PMable format meant... Access for everyone! :happy: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/80684703/Exclusively%20Pumping.pdf

There's also an EP Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExclusivelyPumping And I copied/updated a file from the iVillage forums for them; A Beginner's Guide to Exclusively Pumping. I'd be happy to send it to anyone interested.

Totally did this! Freshly expressed breastmilk is good for up to a week in the fridge! Actually, we transferred milk from pump bottles (5 oz in the beginning, 9 oz when I was up to full production) to a 1 gallon jug, dumped everything except the tubing into a Tupperware/Rubbermaid (reusable) container, and were ready for…

How'm I doing... well... let's see... I'm at 22w4d and up 23 pounds (which is about 10 pounds higher than I should be but my doctor doesn't seem worried). This puts me at 188... I was hoping not to break 200, but... oh well. 1st trimester nausea is gone, thank goodness. However, the exhaustion is not. Ugh. Bug was shy at…

Often. You just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Sin on a Stick (Frozen cheesecake dipped in chocolate... on a stick).

The newest Miss America lifts more than Barbie weights... and it won her the bikini competition and the big title.* *not a big fan of pageants, but I love that she lifts heavy (for her) weights.

This! Calorie requirements can be calculated here: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/pregnancy_calorie_calculator.htm If the cardio gets too intense, you could switch to just walking and pre-natal yoga (excellent videos with the modifications needed are readily available online).
