Just bought a new pedometer yesterday! I am in!

Hi, Love your profile name! I am not really new but I haven't been here for ages. I am less than 20 pounds from my goal and stalled so I figured I better get back in the habit of tracking. Feel free to add me!

Hey all, life is crazy once again! I started a new job on Wed. at Michaels so I guess I am not quite a sahm anymore but it is only 2-3 days a week and 4-5 hours a day mostly while the older two are in school. I am hoping that I make enough to cover Christmas this year. It is seasonal which works perfect for me, I just…

Stacey- My son is only 18mo so we haven't potty trained him yet but my 1 of my girls didn't like to poop on the potty either. Our ped told us to get her to sit on the potty for about 10 min after every meal. The body's natural reaction after eating will assist in making it easier for him to go with out having to actually…

Hey ladies, life has been insane crazy the last couple of weeks. I always think things are going to settle down but it just doesn't seem to happen. I need to learn how to say no but I haven't figured out what to say no too. I have made a list and it all seems so important right now. Last night was supposed to be my night…

Nicole, sorry you are sick, I hope it ends soon. Blue, sorry about the mil troubles. I have been there. To clear up the scripture issue the Bible does say not to forsake the assembly(meaning corprate worship) but nowhere does it say not going to church will cause you to go to hell. I know plenty of people who never set…

Agh, I need about 6 more hours in a day to get it all done. This week was supposed to be the calm between the storms and it just turned into another storm. My SIL went into preterm labor on Monday, so I had to get my niece and run some other errands for her, had a surprise Girl Scout meeting on Tuesday, Wed was full of…

Ok, I am tired just reading how busy everyone has been, I need to get motivated! We have our house on the market but it is no where near ready to show! I need to clean closets and do laundry today. Tomorrow is going to be the nicest day of the week so I thought I would take the kids outside and get the flower beds weeded…

Hi ladies, It has been crazy hectic around here this weekend. We had a huge event on Saturday and I was at the park ALL day Friday and Saturday setting up, working registration, and tearing down. I was amazed at the turn out we had. We are a church of about 60 regular attenders in a town or about 100 and we had over 500…

Tomorrows goals 1. Get in a full hour of Cardio 2. Work on baby shower cake without snacking! 3. Eat healthy and stay within my calorie range.

Nicole, Thread up is a clothes swap website. You fill a box post what is in it and others can order it. For each box you post you can order a box. A bit like ebay for clothes only all you pay is 13 bucks shipping. I just posted a couple of boxes of nb and preemie girls clothes with about 15 pieces each in them and ordered…

1.Get another 30 min cardio (already have a 30 min walk in) 2. Stay in my calorie range 3. Get the laundry completely done

Wow Nicole, I can't imagine surving a 10k. I am NOT a runner for sure, that just amazes me! Stacey, I get the schedule thing, I can't seem to get anything accomplished right now. I need to learn to say no one of these days but I am just not good at that yet. Katie, I don't miss the potty training stage and am not looking…

Just checking in. I am doing pretty well. I have done atleast 30 min of exercise each day, ate under my cal all but Sunday (family reunion threw me off).

Leela, I have 3 daughters ages 9, 8, and almost 3 and a son that is 1 1/2. I do a routine that a friend put together. I do ten sets of ten different exercises. Each round the sets decrease by 1. So I start with 10 jumping jacks, 10 speed skaters... then the next round I do 9 jumping jacks, 9 speed skaters...and so on until…

1. Didn't eat them all, so did ok 2. nope, ended up going to dh's great grandma's to visit and do some housework she needed done. I plan to double up on planks tomorrow and add some extra crunches as well. I did walk for 30-40 min this morning though. 3. Got her started on it, I don't know if she finished after I left or…

I like this challenge! Count me in. 1. Don't eat my exercise calories 2. Get in 60 min of cardio, 100 crunches, and 5 min of planks 3. Help my daughter make a friendship bracelet. (promised a week ago and still have not found time)

Update crunches 570/2000 28% planks 12min 45sec/90min 21% I am getting there but it is taking everything I have to get planks in!

Thanks for the welcome ladies! I convinced myself to get up with the 6 am alarm this morning and go for my walk even though it was still dark. So I got ready walked into the livingroom where the windows are open and realized it was raining! What a bummer I hate when I get up early for nothing:noway: I decided to switch the…

Is it too late to join in? I would love the motivation this would give to reach my goal by Christmas.

Sorry for the inaccurate info about Dr. Atkins' death. Funny what passes for truth in the news nowadays. Thanks for the info.

That is bad bad stuff! I ended up in the hospital while I was pregnant with my 1st and had horrible horrible "all day" sickness. I was dehydrated and hadn't been able to eat for almost a week. My ob refused! to let me leave until I quit spilling ketones. It took 36 hours of continous fluids and nutrients to get me there.…

Ok I changed things up this afternoon and added some polanks to my workout. I don't know if I will make it to 90 min but I am going to push myself! Crunches 405/2000 = 20% done Planks 8min 15sec/90min = 8% done

Hi there, mind if I join the conversation? I am a sahm of 4 hillarious kids. My oldest daughter (the rule follower) is almost 10,she plays softball, soccer, and does Girl Scouts. Daughter #2 (the rule bender) is 8, she also plays softball, soccer, and does Girl Scouts. Daughter #3 is almost 3 and is another rule bender. My…

Did 100 crunches and 2 min planks today. I will make the crunches no problem but I am not so sure about the planks. Though what I have now is more than I had last month so at least it is progress! 290/2000 crunches 14% complete 5/90 min planks 5% complete

I don't grease my pans at all. If you don't have nonstick cookie sheets and they stick use parchment paper to line you sheet. I don't know about the egg beaters, I have know experience with them. If you have used them in baking successfully before it would be worth a shot. And like I said before you can use splenda but you…

I am on a roll today! 100 crunches and 3 30 sec planks. That takes me to 190 crunches and 3 min planks. I plan to fit in a few more planks to catch up to the 9 min I should be at.

I wanna do this. My abs are my weekest area so this is great motivation to get to work! 90 Crunches & 3 30 second planks

I make this recipe but use I cup granulated sugar. They are what everyone asks me to bring to get togethers. So yummy and super easy. I will have to try them with 1/2 brown sugar. That sounds good. I do use splenda on occasion. I have an uncle that is diabetic and like to make sure there is something for him to eat as…
