Or you could use a more "interesting" strategy...(and I'm kidding, but maybe....?) start asking him questions, such as: 1) "Hey, how bad do you think bed bugs can get before I have to throw out my mattress?" 2) "So my husband is getting out of prison this weekend, I liked the coffee you suggested - got any restaurant ideas…

I was reading an article a few days ago. Here's another bummer regarding PCOS - we're more susceptible to stress. A German study found that women with PCOS also produce more Cortisol (which is a stress hormone). And stress can be a causal factor for weight gain, or prohibit weight loss. So that's another kick in the teeth…

Went to my first class this past Thursday, my second class this past Friday, and today (Sat.) my third. Can't wait to go tomorrow! I think I'm hooked. I just focus on the music and tune everything else out, and the hour is quickly over. I had wanted to try this for months, but felt too self-conscious (you know, walking…

I was looking for the same thing, but didn't find it. I did find this website: www.zumbacalories.com which calculates your calories burned for you, and then I entered that as my own personal exercise (you can create your own personal list of exercises, similar to the way you can create your own recipes). And yes, I know…

Wow. I was reminded of something great today. I've had a remarkably difficult and long day today. Personally - tough. Professionally, one of the worst days in many months. Also, my daugher is being bullied in her grade 1 class, and that whole mess all kind of blew up today. The great part of the day - the co-worker who…

Hi again, I have no anxiety, and while I'm a busy single mom with an awesome but busy job, life is good. I think I'm just a bit paranoid because of the neurological stuff in the past. (My right leg would give out and I used to fall over walking, fall down stairs; my right arm was completely numb for a week; I was having…

Just my opinion, but once tallies and comparisons start being made in one arena, it can easily spread to others. Who does the laundry more often? Do the kids "belong" more to one spouse, than another according to who contributes NON-FINANCIALLY the most, (and yes, this is a question that can come up in a divorce!), who…

I would call your oncologist - even if you've been discharged. My sister beat cervical cancer last year as well, and then started having some crazy heavy bleeding after she had initially healed. Turned out it was something to do with some scar tisse after the loop proceedure (I'm not a doctor, so I'm sketchy on the…

Thanks for sharing that bit of inspiration. Heaven knows, I need it! How wonderful that you've also kept it off that long! It's so nice to know that it CAN be done....

Hi Ladies! Please friend me! If we're going to have to battle to get the way off, might as well laugh and support each other all the way! Wohoo! Let's do this!

Hi Ladies, I hear you! I'm also a working mom, and single too. I have a busy profession with crazy hours and lots of work to take home. Now that I'm single, I need to keep the job to maintain a workable financial situation. Overall, life is what it is, and I'm not in a position to change anything except myself. I agree…

I just joined today. I'm 230 lbs, and am aiming to reach 130 within a year. Don't know if that's a reasonable goal or not, but I figure, there's 52 weeks a year, so if I can average 2 lbs/week, maybe I'm not too crazy? I would really appreciate any friends. I don't have much of a support network, and am a pretty busy…
