I'm the same way! I end up drinking tons of water and I'll try to stick with almonds (blue diamond has some flavored ones that are yummy and not too bad) or I'll have some yogurt covered preztles (those seem to really help w the salty/sweet cravings i get) ...and I chew alot of gum. When it gets really bad I'll brush my…

I don't drink it hot usually. Here's what I do. I have a large 3 cup water bottle; I fill it up and drop in one bag of green tea and one bag of mint tea and leave it in the fridge over night. When I get up in the am I have 3 cups of refreshing green mint tea. yummy :)

I'm not too sure on the calorie count, but I just looked up portion sizes for kids. My son is 10 and I don't know where he puts all the food! anyways... I was looking up portion sizes for kids and here's a couple of links I found.…

I found this... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/10589-for-those-confused-or-questioning-eating-your-exercise-calo ...and this link has a bunch of mfp links http://shouldieatmyexercisecalories.com/index2.html I think somewhere in there is the info you're looking for, as far as eating back calories. Personally, I do.…

I totally agree w the above poster and needing to find your triggers. I also know how you feel about wasting the time. I just wasted like EIGHT MONTHS! I lost nearly 30lbs and then I gained back about 22! This is my first WHOLE week back on mfp and it's been hard not beating myself up about it. I gave myself a couple of…

I wouldn't worry too much as long as you're eating healthy, and enough, and working out... If you're working on strength training it could be that you're gaining muscle mass so the weight is a good thing. I would suggest taking your measurements. I have read about loads of people not losing weight, but inches. <3 good luck!

bumping for laters :)

maybe she's just really super shy? I live in tx, outside of houston. our y's child watch has a schedule printed up and they move to a new activity about every hour and it has things like interactive play, story time, arts and crafts, center time, games and few more things. Of course these things will repeat through the…

I forgot to add, maybe if you went w another "mommy" friend you could tell her it was a playdate and you guys could go to the park for snacks for lunch afterwards. Then she'll be excited to have a friend w her.

I go to the ymca. They have a schedule printed with all the kids' things and the times; I try to avoid "movie" time because she likes to play and do crafts. So maybe if the place where your little one goes has a schedule they try to sick to, if you can, try to go when they'll be doing things that she enjoys. Are you a…

i'm bumpin' this too...

Day 4 (level 1) - Done! I can't tell if my endurance is already improving or if I was just way more congested than I realized. (bad allergies or a mild summer cold hit me later in the day after day 1). Surprisingly, I'm not nearly as sore as I was on day 2. Maybe I didn't push as hard as I thought I did yesterday because I…

Me too... w pregnancy #1 it didn't happen too often and only once in a while after having my son (now 9 1/2 yrs old). Then w pregnancy #2 it happened sevearal times aweek and didnot stop after having my daughter (now almost 5). It got much worse a couple of years ago, almost nightly and not always at bed time, sometimes…

I'll join in too :) I'm on L1D3

bumping to save. Thanks for sharing! :)

hey :) I'm on day one of trying to get back on track (vaca last week). I was just thinking today that is just SO much easier to just eat what I want, when I want and not think about calories... I haven't even braved looking at the scale yet, so I don't know how much of my 29 lbs I've gained back. I'm choosing to work at…

bumpin to come back to :)

Hey :) The other day, while giving my 4 yr old a bath, she told me her belly was fat from eating so much. I just told her her belly was really full from eating such a yummy dinner (she doesn't even baby fat anymore), so far that's about all she's said. But we talk about how there are some foods that our bodies love and…

Thank you all SO MUCH for the tips and advice! I'd like to address a few things... About bio-dad paying for "extra" items (bikes, sports-sign-ups, and the such); we are happy to pay for "extras" when we are able to do so. We understand that having kids means they cost more than X amount and most importantly, although sd…
