1/2 cup of roasted endame beans.

That's great! It's great motivation when you picture like that.

If you do by the book you'll need some free weights and olympic bar. A cage with pulley. Adjustable barbells and a yoga ball. Some kind of step. Think that's all (top of my head). I've flipped through most of the stages and didn't see anything I couldn't do with my old standar weights, my husbands olympic weights and his…

I motivate with materialism. Sounds bad but works for me. I set small goals and reward it with shopping. New workout clothes. Maybe a nice sports bra I've been eyeballing. An adorable pair of capris. Things like that. Atm I'm working hard to earning a HRM. I like to shop and stopped once I put on the weight so for me it's…

I had this conversation with my husband today. His response was ,that by default, as a Sahm I'm at least lightly active and that was before I started working out 3-4 times a week. He totally got a kiss but it convinced me to change it.

I'm having a lovely time finding protein. I can't use suger subs period and just about everything on the market has them. I bought spiru-tein yesterday to try. It had mixed reviews but working with limited products I"m hoping for the best.

I see this two ways. We workout with our son around, he's 3.5. Our weights are locked or they are in the cage and not left lying around. We have a mostly full gym at home so rarely venture to the gym but I'll get there in a second. He's been talked to about safety rules. He gets reminders. If he can't obey he can't be out…

We eat it 2-3 times a week. My son goes to private school and we have to provide his meals. They have to be shelf stable and the chicken nuggets and patties are a nice handy thing to have when I'm not feeling like making a full lunch for him. I also enjoy the patties. None of us are huge red meat eaters aside from the…

lol me to it's Suess Month.

I needed this chuckle after a long couple days :bigsmile: I hate clutter. I have tossed out things that don't fit over the years as I gained weight. My goal hole is to actually have clothes on my side of our closet for a change besides a few jeans and a couple blouses.

I did small goal/rewards. The first 10 pounds I spent 100.00 on workout clothes. 20 pounds I spent 100.00 on new bra's. I found out even after 20 pounds I was in no way wearing the right size lol. My next goal is 30 pounds (have 5 more pounds to go) and I promised myself I'd buy shorts for the first time in 5 years. I"m 10…

Chocolate milk is my worst friend during t.o.m. I have long cycles and this last cycle I managed to avoid the cravings (I refused to buy it lol) and it's the first time I've not gained during a cycle. Yay!!!! The bloat arrived though. :grumble:

Yes. Don't live there currently. My parents and my husbands parents still live in the Tulsa area so we visit often.

I live in the south, in a smaller town. Everyone says hi at some point. 9/10 times I nod, smile, and say hi back.

I"m 5 '2 and even when I weighed in at 108 (early 20's) I was a D. Now I"m a DD at 139 pounds. I am very small boned and look best around 120-125.

We've cooked separate meals for 9 years. He competes in body building and his food requirements are completely different then what I or our young son need. I agree if you do all the cooking then he can eat it or figure out how to fend for himself.

I'm in that range. I hate breakfast (haven't quite broke myself) and haven't cut out sugars or carbs. Feel free to add me.

I was talking about this to my husband (not this thread ,bathing suits in general) I wouldn't wear one when we married and I weighed 108 pounds. I"m sure as heck not wearing one now at 141 plus stretch marks that go from my ribcage down to my thighs. I do regret not wearing one when I was younger but I love women (and men…

That's something else that just floors me about some places. I have a friend in the Boston area paying 1k a month for preschool. We pay 180 a month for a very highly rated private preschool. When he starts K next year it goes to 364 a month. Still a long ways from 500-1000.

I totally agree. I love this line and the prices/quality are great.

LOL, sounds a lot like my Mondays.

Always read the contract. They usually won't honor any verbal agreements. My husband joined the navy when were very young as a way to get his school paid for and they honored none of the verbal agreements. They were at least more honest then the army. I was days away from my final physical and signing date when I found out…

9 years of living in Navy towns (dh is prior) we knew ,when he was getting close to his time being up,that we wanted close to our parents and low Col. We ended up in central Arkansas. We waited to have kids. He joined the navy to get his education instead of lots of school loans and we still have periods that it's paycheck…

I'm 5'2 Sw 157 (and my highest) CW 142 (where I was a year ago before 15 pounds snuck up on me lol) Gw 125 I was 125 most of my adult life (be 31 this year) and 125 looks good on me. When I was really active and fit as a teenager I was usually around 105 and looked like bones with boobs. I much prefer the 125 look on me.

I lived there as small child! Several of my cousins still live out that way.

I'm Cherokee/Choctaw and my husband is Cherokee/Apache. So our son is diverse LOL. I spent more time with my Lakota cousins growing up though. I love how our genetics have come out in my son. He has my German coloring and dark chocolate brown eyes like his dad.

In middle school. I was a misfit and kept to myself. He was one of the "jocky" types. I knew who he was since it was small town/small school but we'd never really talked or anything. We were still at that age that boys were kinda icky. He got dared to pinch the butt of the next girl who stopped at the water fountain. It…

My husband and I have a firm deal. I won't have more then 15 pairs at a time in my closet. I can buy what I want and spend what I want but the total on the shelves can't change. It was hard at first but now it's easy. If I see a pair of shoes I want ,I have to figure out quick if I like them more then anything I currently…

Live in Russellville but not from AR. I"ll be the dissenter and say poo on this winter. Show me the snow lol.

My immediate family of spouse and child are very active. I"m the lazy person.
