Good luck with the stickerboard! It sounds like she's just a typical 2 year old trying to assert her indpendence. She'll see that with persistence, it's pointless to fight. I remember going through this same type of thing for a little while with my son and like all phases, it passes. Hang in there and keep up the good work!

First off, glad you and your husband figured out a routine. Secondly on the tooth brushing, you have to be consistent and have a routine. I used to be a Pediatric Dental Assistant, so I'm passionate about this subject. LOL The real key is to start young so that it's just normal for them. For me, it's not an option so it…

LOL Little stinker! My son started climbing out of his crib at only 20 months old. He was a monkey and really tall. We tried transitioning him thinking he must be ready and the next 3 weeks were awful! He wouldn't go to sleep and I spent HOURS trying to get him to sleep. If he woke up in the middle of the night, I had to…

Using MFP's guidlines by adding it to a meal like rockerbabyy said, it wants you to add 500 calories to your DCI as an EBFer. Surprisingly, it still wants me to add about 300 calories for what I do. Woo Hoo! BFing lets us eat more food! hahaha

I've read that an exclusively breastfeeding mom needs 300-500 extra calories a day above her pre-pregnancy caloric intake. Mostly, listen to your body. If you feel hungry, eat something healthy. I know when my daughter would go through a growth spurt while being exclusively BFed, I would eat like a truck driver. I felt…

Proving him wrong is going to feel so good!! Wow, 31 is too old? Who knew?!

Muscle Milk by CytoSport makes a Light version which has fewer calories than the regular. I usually drink that one and use water. I take it after every workout regardless of what kind of exercise. Muscle Milk chocolate is the only protein shake I can stomach. I've tried a bunch of different brands and flavors, but I'm…

What time is she taking a nap? I have a 23 month old and she goes down at 7pm, as does my 8 year old. That's always been bed time in my house. I wonder if she's having a late nap that is interfering with her ability to go to sleep easily. My almost 2 year old is still in her crib, thank goodness! I dread transitioning and…

Glad you kept the hot dog down! :wink: I think if we didn't struggle and it was easy, then what results would we get? KWIM? Imagine how proud we'll be in a few months when we can do everything fairly respectable. LOL

I'm doing P90X and let me tell you, I probably look like a fish flopping around on dry land in AB Ripper X. LOL I'd die if anyone saw me trying to jump around the whole time when doing Plyo. BUT, I'm on week three and it's already getting a LITTLE easier. I'm doing much better on Plyo and do well with most of the DVD's. I…

I don't take the whole period off, but I do take the first day and do something very light and sitting the second day. I have Endometriosis and PCOS, so have a lot of pelvic pain with hormonal fluctuations. My 1st two days of my period I'm in complete agony. I have bad cramps, stabbing and sudden back pain that has made me…

I agree with trying to get a set with multiple weights. I find I use different weights for different exercises and like having different choices.

Congratulations on your success! I know you'll have a great time on your 2nd honeymoon and you'll look fantastic on the beach. I've named this year as my Mommy Makeover year. LOL I don't have a lot of weight to lose, but things have fallen and gone mushy. I'm ready to have my body back. You're so right! Just because we're…

Great job! You look fantastic and I'm sure you feel that way as well.

You look amazing!! I know you must be proud of all you have accomplished. :smile:

I just wanted to wish y'all luck! I did BBL for 3 weeks back in October, but then injured my wrist and back and had to take some time off. In only 3 weeks I had lost an inch off of my waist, an inch off of my muffin top area, and 1/2 an inch off of my hips. I wasn't watching my diet at all or on MFP, so I'm sure if I had…
