Amen, sister! I am a SAHM of four, and for two years I was watching another infant 55-60 hours/day. Some people think being at home automatically makes it easier to work out, but in reality, there is no way to have a decent continuous workout with little ones around! All moms of toddlers know EXACTLY what I mean! Working…

1. Wearing shorts again--i don't think I've worn them in over ten years. 2. Doing the splits--don't ask me why, but we started working on that in yoga and I am strangely motivated to get that kind of flexibility again! LOL

As a "hippy" gal, I can remember being about 110 pounds and struggling to find a dress that would fit my hips and my 34B chest. If I found a dress that fit my chest, it stretched across my hips too tightly. A dress that fit my hips hung off my shoulders like a potato sack. For years I've had to re-sew the shoulder seams of…

@theleftie - 9 You have great shoulders!

Hooray! Count me in! I'm going to a wedding in May, so this is extra motivation that is appreciated and needed! I'll post on Sunday!

-"Knock knock" -"Who's there?" -"Interrupting cow" -"Interrupti..." -"Mooooo!"

I sure don't, but I'm hoping someone else does! I'm in the same situation, and I hate that little pooch that has taken up residence under my belly button. Must...banish....belly....

Thank you! This is great information and is encouragement for me to turn it earlier at night. I have an awful habit of staying up late to get things done around the house. I've printed it out for a constant reminder.

If you are looking for an Italian dish, use oregano, basil, garlic, and onion. Mexican-inspired food would call for cilantro, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and onion. I roast turkeys and chickens by rubbing them with olive or veggie oil, then rubbing them with a combo of rosemary, thyme, sage, and a little salt. I agree…

Thank you! I love using my Wii to exercise, and I love to dance! I'll have to look for it.

Welcome to MFP!!! This is a fabulous place to meet other people with the same goals and motivate each other! I hope you find a great group of friends on here, like I did! I love the calorie counter--I was amazed at how many calories I was eating, even though I thought I was eating healthy. Good luck in meeting your goals!

Welcome to MFP! I've really enjoyed using it--my friends here give me the extra motivation that I need, and the calorie tracker is really eye opening. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do!

I can totally relate! I'll be 38 next month and have four children. I watch a baby during the day, so I'm limited to some degree on my exercise options. Because of that, and hubby's work schedule, finding a time for exercise has been difficult for me. We are also on the go often with after school activities and normal…

I agree completely with both jbug and themommie! This site is a great source of motivation for me. Using the calorie counter was a HUGE eye opener for me. I have about 20 pounds of weight that I wasn't able to lose after having my kids, and, like you, kept losing about five, then gaining it right back. Last January I ran…

Welcome! I joined last week and am really enjoying the site so far. I'm from Chicago and also have the requisite layer of blubber that I am trying to get rid of, so I totally know where you're coming from! I have a coffee addiction that I am half-heartedly trying to give up. I found that, after a week of work-outs, I am…

It's warm here, too! But you won't catch me in shorts until summertime, when I've toned these thighs! Attention, attention: I didn't say "IF"!!!

Oh my gosh--yes, it was the same thing for me! The calorie counter pretty much showed me why I haven't been able to lose weight! What a shocker! With that in check, I've already (unofficially, since my weigh in is tomorrow) lost 3 pounds! Here's hoping my success continues, and hoping that this is what you need, too!…
