Last time I put on makeup my husband said - "What did you do to your face." LOL when I told him I just put a little make-up on he said "I mean it looks ok - I'm just not used to it".

If you figure it out let me know. I am NOT a morning person AT ALL - I have tried and tried to work out in the mornings because it seems like it would be so nice to just get it out of the way - but to no avail. It just doesn't work for me. If I manage to get up and get awake enough to do anything I never feel like I'm…

Maybe some older leaves? Kale is truely one of the least bitter greens I've ever had!

What an amazing accomplishment!

Hi Leigh! :) Sending you a freind request. I like looking through the message boards, but I get so much inspiration and encouragement from my friends! :) Good luck! You can do this!

I was going to point this out as well. People talk about all the walking and bike riding - which is great except that I live 15 miles from work. And on rural 2 lane highways you would be taking your life in your hands trying to bike on those roads in the winter (we actually have quite a few recreational bike riders in the…

Sending you a friend request - I'm trying to be a healthier Mama to my 2 year old. :) Still have a long way to go, but heading in the right direction.

I smoked for over 10 years - quit February 2010. Welbutrin helped with the cravings, but I think it was mostly that I just really was at a place in my life that I wanted to quit! We were trying to start a family and I knew the cigarettes weren't helping. I have to admit that I still had one here or there until I got…

thanks - bumping to read later! :)

My mama's homemade french bread! It's so crusty and chewy!!! Well that and fresh baked bagels from our local bagel shop! Those things are AWESOME!!

Administrative Asstant - sedentary - but then I'm sure to log all of my exercise.

Thanks so much! :) I'm going to register soon and I think my little sister is going to do it with me! I'm excited! :)

I have two sisters - if they had said when they had kids that we couldn't see them unless we came to their house (one lives 2 hours away and the other has lived between 1-2 hours away most of my neice's life, although they now live about 10 minutes away) - my parents would have been devastated. Sorry to go against the…

My husband and I were just trying to remember what we did before we had our son the other day (he'll be 2 next week)! Honestly, I can't think of anything that we did that gives me more joy than having his little arms wrap around my neck and hearing him say "wuv oo too, Mama"! :smooched: Does he drive me absolutely batty…

West (by God) Virginia! AKA Almost Heaven! :bigsmile: We live in wide spot in the road called Frankford - I've lived all over the state, but this is home! :love:

I'm working too! :) Pretty quiet day today - I would be fine except that my hubby (who is off today) called and said my 2 year old keeps crying for me. :(

I used to wear one of my husbands old t-shirts or a cute little short nighty. But since I had my son and have to get up in the middle of the night (I know, he's almost 2 and I still get up and rock him back to sleep - I need to do sleep training, but I waited a long time for a baby and want to enjoy snuggles as long as…

Ummm - she said she was trying to not gain more than 10 lbs PER HER OB. If you are overweight it is generally accepted that it's HEALTHIER for you and the baby to gain less weight or even maintain or loose during pregnancy depending on your pre-pregnancy weight. We are currently attempting to get pregnant and intend to…

Between Monday morning and this morning I lost 5+ lbs. When I weighted myself Monday it said I'd gained 3+ pounds from the last time I weighed. I knew that it wasn't right - and I knew that all of the salty foods I had over the weekend were the cause. I didn't weight myself at all last week because it was that TOM and I…

Ummmmm - the 28.7 is his BMI not BF.

It sounds weird, but I drink broth - the bullion cubes are all of 5 calories and make a cup of broth. Those concerned about sodium can get low or no sodium versions.

Awesome! :)

I have tried both eating just protien (egg or egg whites/cheese) and making a sandwich with the egg or egg whites/cheese and two slices of 35 calorie bread (Nature's Own with 3X fiber). Eating both the protien and the carbs/fiber in the bread works for me. If I only eat the protien I feel hungry sooner. This could of…

Wow - just wow! Thank you for sharing - you are an inspiration!

Some of us can't get "big and pregnant" without losing the weight. I have PCOS (a hormone imbalance) - it took 2 years to get pregnant with our first baby - nothing worked until I lost a bit of weight.

We're attempting to get pregnant with baby #2. I'm still carrying around 30 lbs from my first pregnancy and I know that it's an issue for me (I have PCOS - fact that losing the weight will help). But I understand the fighting your age too - I'm 34 and my hubby is 41 so we're running out of time. But even a small loss can…

http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-cook-a-turkey-the-simplest-easiest-method-160905 Pretty accurate directions. :)

While I don't know the OP's particular situation, recent studies show that it is safe and often benificial for obese women to maintain or even lose weight during pregnancy (see below). I am currently undergoing fertility treatments and I intend to continue my current plan with my doctor's supervison. I want a healthy…

I have to second (third?) this statement. As a woman with PCOS I can tell you that it's very frustrating to be told - "Just eat less" all the time. I am eating less and I am losing weight - just much more slowly than I would like. "PCOS makes it more difficult for the body to use the hormone insulin, which normally helps…

I quit over 3 years ago. I took Wellbutrin to help with the cravings. The one thing that helped me was having a short straw around. I actually inhaled through it when I got a craving for a cigarette and it really helped (I cut them about the same length as a cigarette and held it the same way). I read somewhere that when…
