I also use the International Delight French Vanilla (2 tbsp.) with one packet of Splenda. It tastes great! Have you guys seen the McDonald's commercial where the guy tells everybody not to talk to him because he needs to drink coffee first? Well, that's how I am in the morning :grumble: I say that to my kids! :laugh:

first of all, WOW! 8 children! what a blessing! I agree with the sharing plate idea. They're still trying your food but not taking it from your plate. My problem is I want to eat my 2 year old's left overs!

Great! Mine are in the closet and I'm hoping they're still be in style when the fit again :)

I'm interested in the them, too :)

I tried taking it over the summer, and did not like how it made me feel. I was irritated most of the time and felt anxious. I also knew I was cheating myself and should rely on building a healthier lifestyle and not a "magic" pill. After a few weeks, I stopped.

It's happened to me too! If I eat anything that's high in fat/grease, I get a stomachache and feel really yucky... that's enough for me to stay away from that junk!

Hi everyone! I have not logged in in a while. I'm down to 137 lbs. and stopped taking the pill in August . I'm not following my cycle to see when my fertile days are, I'm just letting it happen. I have too much stress right now and if I worry about what days are best I think it would add even more stress. Happy Fall to all!

Hi everyone. happy Fall!! I have been MIA for weeks, since school started. I was moved into a second grade classroom 12 days after school started and have been working extra hard setting routines and such. Well, I'm happy to say I'm 137 lbs!:drinker: I'm not sure how I lost the weigh, since I have not exercise at all for…

I got my cycle a few days after I took the mirena out.

bread coffee eggs

I was wondering what happen to this thread :flowerforyou: I used the mirena IUD after I had my daughter. She's two now. And I felt really weird when I stopped having periods, it's just not normal. I know you're probably thinking I'm weird. It's not that i enjoy my period, but it was just weird not having it. God gave us…

I thought I was the only one:noway:

I've also been super busy since school started, but trying to eat healthy. I will weigh in tomorrow

My mother-in-law used to make this salad. She passed away this summer and i never got the recipe. Thanks, I will try it tonight.

My husband does the same thing, but now he knows better. He at least try to eat a little bit after I spoke to him about the example he's setting for the kids. When he knows he's going to have a big lunch he tells me not to cook that night or make something light.

It's been a crazy week! School starts on Thursday and I've been in meetings and trying to set up my classroom and get everything ready before the angels start. I did not get a chance to weigh in and have been eating a lot of back-to-school treats. I would not be surprise if the scale goes up :grumble:

Liz - congratulations, that's so exciting!! Das_Modell - Happy Birthday Tomorrow I go back to school (teaching) and will be in meetings for three days. I'll try to be very good. We went shopping and I bought a bunch of good-for-me snacks and meals.

I'm usually the cook in my house (family of 5) and I choose what we eat. I take into consideration their likes and dislikes, but it would be a nightmare trying to please everybody at every meal. They know that I will cook healthy meals and whoever doesn't like it, can have a bowl of cereal :grumble: When we go out to eat,…

yesterday at Walgreen's I almost bought a bag of M & M's (I forgotten their taste) and my 12 year old daughter did not let me!!!!!!! I thanked her afterwards :glasses:

142.5 lbs.

Jwalker - I'm on level 2 of the 30 Day Shred and hate it!!!:explode: I hate that Jillian is a bad *kitten* and makes us work so hard, but when I'm done with a workout I love her for making me work so hard :flowerforyou: does that make any sense? I do it every other day and still do the modifications. I sweat a lot and feel…

142.5

bumping for later

I teach Kindergarten and we eat lunch at 11:15 am. We also have a snack at 9:30 am. I follow the same schedule when I'm home or I get the "shakes" :laugh:

I need to vent: My husband is home this week and I have been eating more than ususal. To counter act this extra eating, i have been working out more. He's "annoyed" and said that all I care about is looking good and not spend time with him. But seriously, the last three days all he's done is watch movies back-to-back and i…

143.5 lbs. I have been doing the 30 Day Shred (not every day!) and I'm still on level 1. It seems that every few days a new part of my body goes into shock and I'm in pain. Currently is my right knee. I hate the jumping jacks :devil: and there's also these side lunges that I think are the culprit. Today I substituted the…

We live in the country and the nearest supermarket is 20 minutes away. So, I really plan my shopping trips and stay within my budget. We spend about $50 a week on groceries. My husband is a major beef and potatoes guy (from Iowa), so once a year we order a quarter cow and 1/2 a pig, and a dozen chicken from a meat locker.…

I had a check-up at my doctor's today and as soon as her nurse saw me, she realize I lost weight! My doctor noticed too even before looking at the number. I felt very proud of myself. I mean, it's only 10 pounds, but it's showing!!!

144.5 lbs

Mel, I hopw you et better soon :smile: I didn't do as bad as I though eating lunch out this week with my colleagues while going to a math training. I stayed within my calories. Yesterday was day #3 of level 1 of 30 Day Shred. Although I've been finishing the workout, I still need to stop while doing those darn jumping…
