I think mini-goals are a good way to go. I have decided to not do deadlines on meeting my goals because I don't know how much time is the "right" time (I don't want to set someting silly fast and stress myself out or loose weight too fast but at the same time I Idon't want to put a date that's too far, where's the…

I'm a sahm too. I have a 9 yr old boy and a 4 yr old girl. I have been blessed with kids that like taking naps, I tend to do things when they nap. Well, my son is school now and my 4 yr old is about done w naps, I think I'm going to do "quite time" this summer so that way I still have "me" time. On the weekends my husband…

I haven't lost enough weight to be doing that yet, but I have a few things that I really like and want to keep; they're almost brand new yet! I'm looking forward to seeing what others say.

I have a friend that I workout with alot. We'll grab machines next to each other, sometimes we talk and sometimes we don't (even if we dont' talk it's super helpful to have some good company!). ..and if I'm working out on my own then I HAVE to have my ipod! I listen to music that makes me want to move and dance, not that I…

I can't tell you why you keep getting on that merry-go-round, but when you're "really" ready it will all just click, and it's so much easier to do. It's ok to take a day here or there, or even a few days off sometimes, just don't be so hard on yourself! ...and don't toss in the towl! I haven't gotten to the point where I'm…

I've taken to drinking more green tea the past few weeks, but have never taken it in pill form. I wasn't really seeing much of any difference... but I didn't have any this weekend, and also forgot to take my vitamins, and I had a hard time trying to really "wake-up"... I don't know if those things played apart in that or…

I don't... maybe you should take it at night when you go to bed? When I was pregnant I had to take my prenatal vitamins at bed time because they made me so nauseous.

I totally 2nd that! Happy Birthday! :D

I wouldn't put my 9 yr on any site like this. Kids sometimes start adding some weight as they're growing. My own son (nine yrs old) has gotten a lil chunky in the middle, but his doc isn't worried, and his older cousions all grew out and then up thur out their tween and teen years (after seeing 3 boys/young men; 20, 18,…

thanks for sharing!

you're day sounds so busy! maybe on the weekends or days that your dh is home, you could make larger meals and freeze half of it? ...and on the days when he's at work you can pull out the meal to thaw. ...Or just do simple, one pot dinners. Over the years I've learned to do just a little bit every day (as far as cleaning…

I totally agree... and would like add #4- if there are any more emails, print them all up and take them down to the police station and see what other steps they can suggest to keep yourself safe. ...super creepy. Be safe!

Thanks ladies for the help :) it looks like there are some good selections. I think now I need to narrow down by return policy; I really don't like shopping online. This is going to be hard for me... especially with as $$$ as some of them are.:huh: I like to try on every thing and make three sections, yes, no and maybe.…

I just got a Weight Watchers scale (made by Conair) from Target. It does body fat, and what % of weight is fat and bone mass, body water (?) and bmi. I don't know how accurate it is, but so far I like it. It stores up to four ppl. It also says it's not recommended for ppl with any electrical implant or by pregnant women…

I agree w what everybody else has said. It's SO heartbreaking to read what you're going thur, I want to cry for you. I'm sure you have people in your life that love you want to be healthy and happy. ...I don't even know you want I want you to be healthy and happy! PLEASE find a way to get some help!

it's true! I know someone that had to toss out a pair of pants that would not come clean! I she told me about having to go thur that I lost any instrest in wanting to give that a go. That is not the way I want to learn "...in moderation"

My s-i-l was using it and was seeing some results, but she didn't stick w it. She's not at the point were she is able (? willing? ...disciplined? ...motivated enough? ...all of the above?) to stick w eating healthier. After she told me about having to go thur some of the side effects of it, I decided that I don't want to…

I just started w Netflix and I've only tried one on the streaming workouts. I'm only on week two of doing the 10 Minute Solution: Target Toning. There are 5 10 min sections; thighs, butt, abs, arms and power strech. I've yet to do the power strech section, and the others I do one section a day. Because it's broken up in 10…
