Thanks for your reply! The website you linked looks very useful, i hadn't heard of it yet.. thanks!

I couldn't even imagine what that family is going through. My heart aches for them.

When I start lifting, I think I'm going to get a t-shirt made. On the back in big letters.. "Tell me if my form sucks".

Someone better contact the queen and tell her to lean forward!

Yes, in the evening before bed I plan the next day. I like having a plan and not having to think about what I need to eat.

I'm sorry. I suffer from severe depression and crippling OCD (like, unable to leave the house OCD). It wasn't my intent to make you feel bad, for that I'm truly sorry. Edit- I would like to (even more so now) send you some of my extra knitting stuff, really.. PM me if you would like some.

There would be hell to pay if my OH said that to me too. BUT.... I'm probably opening up a can of worms here... I don't agree with making him cook dinner after a full days work. I'd say the same thing if it was a stay at home dad and the mama was working. I mean the person who is under the same roof as the stove has no…

Great ideas! I miss being home with my baby. I know it's hard work (I've done it), yet I wish more people would see it as the gift that it is.

The crockpot is a great idea! I just got a new one at Walmart for $22.00, and it's HUGE!! One pot gives two dinners for the three of us, two lunches, and we still end up throwing some out. Which is dumb, if you planned ahead you could freeze some for lunches, but somehow I always flub that up.

You should learn to knit. It keeps my hands and brain busy at night when I'm watching tv and want to snack. It's pretty hot right now, you should check out ravelery.com, so many free awesome patterns! If you would like, PM me and I'll mail you a little learn to knit package with some needles, yarn, and instructions. I have…

My tip is to make it fun for yourself! Look up some funky recipes online that look TASTY!! Make a day of it, take your little one to the shops and get all the ingredients. You can put your baby beside you in the high chair while you prepare supper. Sometimes i give my 18 month old a washed carrot, or a huge lettuce leaf to…

Crisp! (Sorry, a bad reference to an old chocolate bar commercial.)

No it's not. You are correct, please do not ingest drain-o.

I have a friendly observation. I've been loitering around these message boards for 3 months, and I've seen you post several times about these fad diets. With eating a little better, eating a little less, and exercising a little more, I've already lost almost 20lbs. Why don't you try just following what mfp sets up for you?…

HOT!!!! You've made me want to learn to pole dance so bad!

Thanks guys! Lol

I'm going to watch it while I'm working out. Maybe the OH will see and it'll nudge him to buy me the hrm I want for Xmas. ;)

Awesome progress! Congrats!

I grew up on a wheat farm. I didn't realise there was so much hate on for wheat! I remember when I was too young to go to school, my dad would take me in the combine with him. I would lay on a little bench behind him and look out the window, it was so pretty.. Wheat fields as far as you could see. We used to chew the raw…

Get more sleep, drink less coffee. Hope you feel better tomorrow!

Yes, I want to be skinny. Edit- (for vanity, and fitness)

Eww, I love bacon, but that just look like a chunk of fat.

Bump for pretty Emily!

Don't try to do everything at once. Try to make one big change a week (or whatever goal works for you). One week I cut out pop, the next I upped my veggies. Each week I tweaked things, now I'm working on lowering carbs and upping protein. One other thing that is helping me is having a little treat every day. My favourite…

Aww, my heart just melted a little. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know if I should be chiming in here or not, but here goes. I don't know if its because I have a lot of confidence, or it's because of my family, but for whatever reason, no one in my life has EVER called me a fat *kitten*, or any derogatory name for that matter. For me, it's just not acceptable. If any one were to…

You're welcome!

I have the same thing, the cold really bugs my asthma. I've done a lot of cold weather mountaineering, and the only thing that works for me is a combo. Half is prevention.. I use a preventative steroid puffer when doing cold weather stuff. I can't remember what it's called, it's a red and white tube, if you want I can let…

One time when I was cooking I remember popping something into my mouth mindlessly (I can't even remember now what it was). As soon as it hit my tongue I was like "What are you doing??" and I spat it out. Lol! I was kind of proud of myself, I'm usually such a grazer, I didn't even realise half the stuff I was eating. I…

I'm proud of you for working on this! My suggestion is just to start a new way of eating and exercising, then stop stressing about it. I'm like you, I over think everything too.. And have high standards for myself. So when I fail, i take it hard too. I try to remind myself how I got large, how I didn't really think about…
