Hi everyone!! I'm a first-time mom with a 13 month old son who, yes, is still breast feeding... I pump twice a day and he nurses at night... Man... am I ever going to get my body parts back?? :D

Yeah, I've had this "advise" passed onto myself as well. And similarly - I DO NOT agree with it. We've got 3 dogs, a border collie, a pit lab mix, and a chaweiner (Chihuaua weiner). The border collie is the best dog I've ever been around. He and my son (due in September) are most likely going to be best friends. The other…

I have a couple suggestions - based on info from my dad (he's had issues with them before), stuff I've read thru babycenter.com as well as some personal experience; I personally recommend adding as many of these together as you can: 1. Drink PLENTY - again... PLENTY of water. It helps, trimendously. 2. Take a couple…

Holy. *kitten*. That's all I have. Just - Holy. *kitten*.

Agreed. If he thought she was potentially his "future wife"; he probably woulda asked for a way to contact her after they departed. I'mmmmmm just sayin....

Agreed. Plus, who says poopin' 2-3 times a day is bad?

Baaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa! I love these. I'm also one that when I get heavy - it hits the mid section pretty hard. Funniest thing that ever happened was I went out to dinner with my boyfriend (now husband and father of my unborn child), and I wore one of those empress waist dresses and it was kinda poofy in the front. I'll…

LOL!!!!! Ah jebus - this is much better than the "I don't feel the love" post. I approve.

Agreed. I tried juicing, but unlike Joe - I didn't feel that it filled me up at all. I can't even skip a meal and replace it with juice - I'm starving by the time I get around to my next meal or snack. It is, however - (like others have said) a good way of getting some extra nutrients into someone's diet. I'll juice a fair…

I agree with brandi712. When I first started here - the weight MELTED off. I was logging all my intake... religiously exercising 4-5 times a week. I was doing great. I lost 30 lbs in just a few months... I wanna say, like, 4 or 5 months... BUT - then I quit working as hard and started slacking on the food. Hence, weightoss…

If you have a Trader Joe's anywhere near you - They make this stuff called CookieButter... it's freakin awesome. I toast the bagel then put a little bit of 'I can't believe it's not butter', but I'm sure real butter is just fine... then lather it w/ cookie butter... It's similar to peanut butter, but I don't believe it's…

I'm in for chips and dip. But will there be entertainment?

LOL. **Saving some of these .gif's for a rainy day** YES. :laugh:

One more... My little one also likes to read tabloids... Sheesh...

Oh, my chaweeweeeee!

Ah, sorry - I read this and saw "Brenda Pancakes". My appologies...

BAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Ah geez; this is awesome! *yoink for later*

Ah, there it is...

No Sir. No... I don't like it.

My husband got me these: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S10-HD-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B004BHCSQC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374525594&sr=8-1&keywords=motorola+bluetooth+earphones Motorola Bluetooth Stereo headphones. They have little rubber earbuds that go in your ears, but then have a piece that goes over the top of…

I've been going back and forth on this for the past month - and I think I've gotten it down to deciding on a BodyBugg. The FitBit link seems really cool and convenient - but the bogybugg by Bodymedia has so much more to it as far as sensors and what it actually calculates; it bound to be a more accurate count. I am really…

*kitten*. I'm never going to sleep again.

1. Sometimes I zone out - and pick my nose. Gross, and true - sorry. 2. I care more about animals than I do about children. I can sit thru a dozen "feed the children" commercials and it doesn't faze me - but as soon as that f*cking Sarah Mclachlan song comes on; I WILL RUN OUT OF THE ROOM. Literally. Yes, I'm an a**hole.…

Same here. That was pretty good :drinker:

The gut for sure. Some in the thighs, too. I've been pretty fortunate to not have a lot of leg or upper arm fat problems; the the mid-section that likes to hold onto the weight. AND - My chest shrinks when I lose weight. It's the first thing to shrink down. I guess 'the girls' really are just fat.

Right now: I walk/jog in the morning for an hour with my husband and our dogs. I do this pretty much 4-5 days out of the week. I typically sleep in and skip it one day of the week and one day of the weekend. I've started going to the gym for an extra hour Mon, Wed & Fri. I walk/jog for about 30 minutes, then do the…

Totally. I always get pretty much the same thing; it's my fav. 6 inch on Honey Oat - Cold Cut Combo w/ ALL the veggies, pepper jack cheese and no mayo - just honey mustard. It's about 490 calories. And worth every single one. :)

Si Si. When I jog in the mornings, I get extreamly "mucousy"... For me, it's a mixture of allergies, plus it's in the morning when the pollen spores and stuff are their most potent, plus I'm breathing super heavy which is mixing everything around in my lungs... So yeah, I get that too. It's not so much a mouth/spit thing…

I really wanna check out Turbo Fire; but I have the "6 workout set" of Turbo Jam and they're AWESOME. I bought it off ebay for, like, 20 bucks. I actually ENJOY doing the Turbo Jam DVD's. They're fun, to me. Chalean seems like she'd be fun to be around, and the music is actually pretty good (for being a couple years old).…

If you wanna get really fancy, get one of those SodaStream machines. It's awesome. Unlimited supply of sparkling water to make whatever you want out of it. I, too, do the thing where you add the lemon or lime juice. I also bought a couple of the syrups that go along with the machine; but I kinda prefer a little fresh fruit…
