I would start by saving all the wrappers you find for a week. Then go over there and have a nice conversation with them. They might be unaware that the kids are doing this. Doubtful, but you can bring it up like "I don't know if you are aware of this, but some or one of your kids is throwing their wrappers in our yard and…

Ours has feta cheese and blue cheese that I add to my salads. The hummus is really good too and the Fit and Active cheese sticks. We usually get our meat at the local grocery stores when they have their sales, but I will occasionally pick up meat there and it's always been good. Especially the pork loin. We buy our frozen…

You look great! How proud you must be of an incredible accomplishment and how great you must feel. Well done!

Would love to join the group! Please send invite. Thank you!

My son and I are gluten free and I have a picky daughter who won't eat most meat. When we cook pasta we use gluten free for everyone. The brown rice pasta tastes so good you can't tell a difference. It does not keep well for leftovers though. I don't really eat bread, but I buy GF bread for my son and regular wheat bread…

My cost is about the same, but I also take steps to ensure that it would. I joined a produce co-op that goes year round and is extremely cheap. I buy meats on sale and freeze, freeze, freeze. I shop on the day they mark the meats down also. You can ask the butcher at your supermarket what day that is. As long as you freeze…

I went GF due to tummy issues. After a few weeks I found that I had stopped craving sweets and bread so much. For a while I was eating GF bread, but now I don't and I don't miss it at all. I don't bake any GF goodies except for birthdays. Maybe once or twice a month we will have GF pasta. I do use corn tortillas for tacos…

Enjoying the view! Thanks fellas!

How awesome! I LOVE Nathan!

Fritos with bean dip mixed with a container of sour cream. I tried a few times to just have a regular sized portion. Didn't last I finished all of it. Now I know I just can't have it in the house.

Here is a wrist calculator which will tell you your frame size (small frame, medium frame, or large frame) and then the healthy weight for that size. http://health.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Frame-Size-Wrist

Starting a garden and growing your own will cut costs significantly. I am part of a produce co-op and that saves me a ton of money. Buying in bulk can save some money on things like rice, oats, beans, etc. Portion control will allow you to come up with a menu plan where you can really stick to what you buy also.

Your arms look great! Going to have to try your routine!

I have the Rebel Alliance symbol on one side of my ankle and the Imperial Logo on the other side. I want to get this leg completely Star Wars though. I would like to get a Dr. Who and Firefly tattoo too, but not sure what. I am focusing on what to do with Star Wars right now.

I have the cutest vintage sleeveless leopard print dress that I found at a thrift store. I bought it though I couldn't fit it hoping to one day. I want my arms to look good while wearing it too.

Get my drivers license. Yep, I'm 42 and just learned how to drive. I had an extreme phobia that I overcame. I am practicing my driving now and hope to have my license in a month or so. Learn to love myself. I am in therapy and reading all I can. I always based my worth by what others thought of me and after a divorce I…

^^^^^This. Great advice! They are not going to know how it upsets you unless you let them know. You can do it in a way that doesn't hurt their feelings. You have done such a great job and should be proud of yourself!

OMGosh! You look great!

You look great! Way to go! So inspiring!

Even better is 6 degrees of Nathan Fillion. http://portlandiamom.blogspot.com/2012/02/conversations-with-jess-six-degrees-of.html

I have a few squares of dark chocolate. It's so rich that I only need a small amount. Also a smoothie with frozen or fresh fruit also helps.

I am sorry I have ever complained now. I wear a size 11. I go mostly to Torrid both in store and online. I know they carry 12's, but not sure if they carry 13's. They do have wide widths too. And I recently found tennis shoes on zappos too, also in wide width.

Love Nightbreed! One of my all time favorites!

Thanks all! I do eat some form of lean protein with each meal, but still can't seem to get enough protein. So to have it in my smoothie in the morning will be great!

bump I am wondering the same thing

I am caffeine free but enjoy many herbal teas Mint tea (iced especially in the summer is great) Chamomile (hot at night) Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice (it is spicy and tastes similar to a Chai. You can have it iced or hot with a splash of milk) Celestial Seasonings Black Cherry Berry (iced or hot) Celestial Seasonings…

I don't know if you have a Walmart near you, but mine carries it. I am in Illinois though.

I always have a carton of boiled eggs in the fridge for the kids and I to snack on. I sometimes eat one for breakfast with a smoothie (on the side, not in it of course. LOL!). I also enjoy them on salads.

I eat clean, but to me this means little to no processed, fast food or packaged foods. I eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies, lean meats and fish. I am also gluten free due to tummy issues (IBS and GERD). I do occasionally have a gluten product though I will admit. I don't drink caffeine or eat sugar other than my nightly…
