It's hard not to look at wasted food as wasted money. Especially when you're on a tight budget. That's something I need to work on too! Hopey - Good job on the 30 day shred! We took the kids to the park to ride bikes, but it was so cold that after 5 minutes, my daughter's fingers were turning blue. We forgot gloves.…

Tamm - That's wonderful! And the weight loss shows! You look fantastic! Well, my day didn't go quite as planned. We took the kiddos to the park to ride bikes, but it was so cold that after 5 minutes, my daughter's fingers were turning blue. We forgot gloves. :grumble: She told us maybe we should wait until Spring to go…

Thanks Stacey! I also just updated my exercise ticker, and I'm having dh take a pic of me this afternoon to update my profile pic. Oh, and Stacey, thank you for the different ideas for bedtime. DH usually helps with the baths, the problem with that one is when he has to work late. However, there were several ideas there…

Good afternoon Sixers! Happy New Year! I'm "starting over" again today. I just logged my current weight and waist & hip measurements. I'm really going to concentrate on logging everything I put in my mouth and drinking my water today (got 2 of them in already). I will start exercising tomorrow. I'll still get some exercise…

Good morning ladies! I hope everyone had a happy New Year's Eve and Day! I'm "starting over" again today. I just logged my current weight and waist & hip measurements.

Good morning Sixers! My baby girl is officially no longer a baby. Samantha had her first visit from the Tooth Fairy last night. She was so excited. So many of her friends have lost a tooth already. She said it felt weird eating breakfast this morning with the tooth missing.

Good morning ladies! I hope everyone had a great night. Well, it is official now. My baby girl is no longer a baby. Samantha just had her first visit from the Tooth Fairy last night. She was so excited! She said eating her breakfast this morning felt weird without that tooth there. The one next to it is loose too, so I…

I'm glad to find out I'm not the only mom who yells too much. The days I try other things instead of yelling are, of course, the better behavior days. But it gets hard at the end of the day when I'm tired too. I think bedtime is when I end up yelling the most (hurry up and get your toys picked up, stop playing in the bath,…

jr, your kids are adorable! They look like they had so much fun! Well, I was way over in my cals today, but I got in 6 cups of water. Part of what made me go over on cals is that we have some yummy cake left over from Christmas dinner that will go bad if not eaten. Not a good excuse, I know. I'm the only one in the house…

Hopey1994, please don't worry about your exercise right now. The most important thing is to take care of yourself first. Once you're feeling better, then you can exercise again. I hope you start feeling better soon! :flowerforyou:

I don't know how I double posted this time. I made sure I only clicked once. And I'm on a different computer now. :huh:

Well, my original plan didn't work. Went to the 2 banks, got gas in the car (why can't dh ever leave me w/ a vehicle that isn't on empty?!), and came home. Realized while I was out with the dogs that it is just way too cold to go to the playground right now. I'm going to see about taking them earlier in the day tomorrow…

Hi ladies! I'm leaving work in just a minute. It takes me longer to finish when the kids are here, but I feel very blessed to have a part-time job where I can bring the kids with me. I'm going to attempt to leave here, go to 2 banks (personal & for the church), get home, wash up last night's snack dishes, and walk to the…

Computer is slow today, so I ended up hitting reply twice.

We're going over to the home of family friends. Not sure what all we'll be having over there, but we probably won't be there until midnight since we have a 7 yr old & an almost 6 yr old and they have a 5 1/2 yr old and a 6 month old.

Well, I had problems with my scale a couple weeks ago weighing me at many different weights in the span of 3 minutes. I changed the battery and weighed in this morning. 159.4 :noway: :grumble: Not surprised. I'm "starting over" in 2010. I'm not going to go hog wild this week, but I'm not going to work really hard. But my…

Good morning! Stacey - I understand your problem. Unfortunately, I don't really have any advice, because I'd love some myself. I've taken toys away, tv, play time, etc. Nothing seems to work anymore. The only thing that seems to work with my daughter when she gets upset (term used extremely loosely), is giving her a piece…

Hello ladies! It sounds like everyone else has been as busy as I have. I haven't done well on exercising, drinking my water, or logging my food the past week, but my eating hasn't been too bad. Unfortunately, I don't know what I actually weigh right now. Our scale is really acting up. It weighed me the other day at 159,…

Hello ladies! It's been quite a weekend here. DH's aunt / Godmother / mil's best friend passed away Fri morning. MIL came to our house yesterday & she & dh left this morning to go to the funeral in Mississippi. The kiddos can't miss that much school, so we weren't able to go. They never met her, so it wouldn't mean as much…

Stacey - You've gotten to know me pretty well these past few months! :laugh: I have problems with going cold turkey on things (it's a willpower issue), so, yes, I'm aiming for a max of 900-950 over today. If I am less than that, I'll be thrilled! One of the biggest things that has helped me the past couple of days is that…

Maggie - That's awesome! I've heard from many people that cigarettes are one of the hardest things to give up. Good for you!! :flowerforyou: Tiff - Good job on the weight loss!! :flowerforyou:

I did a little better today. I was only 1050 calories over as opposed to the 1150 the day before. At least more of my calories came from healthier foods today. and I drank my 72 oz of water today too! Not much on exercise, but, baby steps. Shera, Trish, Nicole, & Stacey - good job on the water today!! :drinker: :drinker:…

Hello sixers! I'm back again. I had a great Thanksgiving weekend, but my eating, exercise, etc. was horrible. I weighed myself on Tuesday at 157.2. I've gained about 6 lbs in the past 2 months, and most of that in the past 2 weeks! The sad thing is that the last 2 days, I finally started logging all my food again. And in…

:laugh: I do the same thing! I end up washing most of my dishes by hand because I hate unloading the dishwasher. The load of laundry I hate the most is the one with all the socks. It takes forever to fold!! I haven't done as well on my water today and I can feel it. But I've been doing well on exercise, because I've spent…

Thank you! Stacey, whether I ask for the advice or not, it's always welcomed! :flowerforyou: Trish, thank you. I didn't really see it at the time as moderating my meals. I'm with you on drinking that water! :drinker: I figure I'll increase my water until I feel I'm getting the amount my body needs. I'm already over today.…
