I don't use them myself because there are 4 of us and it's just not in our budget. But living in a very small, rural community where I can't get a lot of the more "exotic" ingredients makes those services pretty attractive. I kind of like the convenience of not having to drive an hour each way to pick up groceries for…

Eating more protein at dinner time helps me.

Way too much carbs in my opinion, not enough protein or fats. That's why the junk food kept you feeling full longer. Junk food has more fat.

If she twists your words and turns your conversation against you, she's not your friend, she's mentally abusing you. Ultimately you should do what feels right for you, but if it was me, I'd get out of that "friendship" fast. I spent over 20 years with someone who did that to me and it had some pretty severe repercussions…

Maybe you resemble someone she dislikes? They say everyone has a doppelganger somewhere. lol

Your BMI is 21.9... so apparently he's a douche who can't see straight. Math doesn't lie... you're just fine as you are!

So if you have really large breasts, you're expected to what? Get a reduction surgery? Sorry, but in that particular case, I feel they may have a point. I've known plenty of otherwise small women with very large breasts. Until I saw your post, I really never thought about how uncomfortable standard plane seating would be…

I don't believe it's because of your weight. Eons ago, when I was 18 and weighed a delightful 115 lbs high heels still hurt my feet. It was horrible, but I "sucked it up" and toughed it out. Now I have permanent damage to my knees and a nifty little neuroma in my right foot that comes back like an annoying relative that…

I'm 5'3 and my doctor suggested I go for a goal weight of 145. She said, "I think that will be a very good weight for you." /shrug I love and trust my doc so I'm going with it. If I get there and feel I wanna lose more, I'll think about it then. :)

Congrats!

Not sure where this witch gets off judging peoples kids that way. I bet she's going to wind up getting more than the usual amount of "tricks" this year because of her bad behavior. A few years back, my son was 5 years old and battling Leukemia. He was on steroids that made him retain water weight, eat voraciously, and…

I wouldn't muzzle a dog that hasn't shown any sign of aggression, especially if he's never been muzzled before. Muzzling him will only serve to increase his fear and anxiety and will give him cause to fear / hate the vet from now on. I agree with JoolieW68. Let the vet make the call based off of what they're seeing when…

Maybe you're staying too far under your calories? Are you eating at least 1200 a day?

I'd choose goal weight. I'd want to go to Hawaii to visit relatives, so the money wouldn't be as important. I'd much rather be lighter and healthier so I can do more fun things with my family there. :)

I'm going to add this one thing for you to think about. In the end of your life, when you're old, sick and on your deathbed, will you look back on your life and say, "Gee, I wish I worked more."? If you have the opportunity to stay at home with your kids, I believe you should take it. Can any job compensate you for time…

I think it depends on why you don't like the water. I used to hate water too. Then I discovered that not all water tastes like the icky crap I get out of my kitchen faucet. Even with a water purifier it still tastes and smells awful. So instead I buy Nestle Pure Life water. In a study of the different waters out there,…

I LOVE all these stretch marks! -SNOE

My 19 year old daughter told my 9 year old son to get some water for our dog. When he turned on the faucet in the kitchen, he got drenched by the sprayer nozzle that she'd taped in the "on" position.

No I didn't. :-\

I understand your desire to refrain from hurting your child. No good mother wants to hurt their child. Other than ignoring him when he screams and letting him scream it out there isn't much you can do. However, that being said, I do believe in corporal punishment. As the mother of 4 children, ages 24, 21, 20 and 9, I've…

As the mother of three girls, all grown now, two of whom were bullied in their childhood I have this to offer; Do NOT confront the child on your own no matter how tempting. That's just asking for the cops to get involved and criminal charges to be leveled against you. What you DO need to do is a two part solution. 1) Talk…

I was 18 and he was 17. We had been together for about 4 months. We were married when we were 19 and 18. No, we're not still together, but we were married for 21 years.

LOL! "Have to"??? Oh it'd be zero hardship for me to kiss Hugh Jackman. Sexy Australians ftw.

[/quote] Btw, instead of complaining to the internet maybe you should go complain to your MIL, what are we going to do to help? What are you looking for, sympathy? Cos in all honesty I do not think you are going to find any here! [/quote] Actually I don't think she's here for sympathy. The very fact that she decided to…

I have a sign in my house for just such people like you. :) It reads: "For non pet owners who visit and like to complain about our pets: 1. The dog lives here, you don't. 2. If you don't want dog hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. 3. I like my dog a lot better than I like most people. 4. To you, she's a dog. To…

It absolutely counts! After I had my first daughter, I lost 35 lbs in two months from riding my horse hard every day. Not that I would recommend losing weight that fast to anyone. (I was having problems with my then husband and riding helped burn the stress.) If you can't afford your own horse, I'd suggest seeing if there…
