A past trainer we had used to have us do step ups on the panels. Start from standing and step up on the lowest rung and down, alternate, 10 times each side. When that's easier start moving up the rungs. It's to help strengthen the muscles and legs to make it easier to mount. Another exercise that I make the kids do and…

A Friesian, this has always been my dream horse. I think they are just absolutely beautiful and move so elegantly!

HI! I am so glad that a friend found this group! I've been trying to figure out ways to find other friends on here who ride! My name's JC and I am 41. I've always loved horses and rode as often as my parents would take me when I was younger. I got my first horse, and appy, when I was 14. I've ridden on and off for years. I…

Exactly!

That's great. We're checking blood work first and then go from there!

LOL I just had a Harry Potter moment reading this! 80+ spontaneously appearing!

I have the same problem! I usually start cramping from 2 to 5 days before and for at least 2 to 3 days into. The cramps that run down into the legs and the back and up into my breasts. Caffeine and Sodium increases the bloating and that increases the cramping, which sucks because the craving for caffeine anything is crazy…

They all tried to show me how to shoot this past summer. I doubt I even hit the proverbial side of the barn much less the target. Lapidary? [/quote] Lapidary is working with stones. Making them into jewelry, carving them, polishing them, and the favorite one for the kiddos the field trips to find raw material! LOL! I like…

My hubby grew up in Minnesota and they were big into 4H. His mom judged for years and his dad taught about gun something or another... I still use recipes out of their old 4H cook books but I'm really just a city slicker...:tongue: [/quote] Very cool! Even city slickers can do 4H! There's all kinds of projects available!…

I haven't watched it in ages until today. They've done that in every season. I think it's to conceal the skin. I know in one, one of the guys showed under to show the skin that hung, but they didn't have compression clothing on. I think that it's more to show the biggest impact of the weight loss.

FUN! We've never gone to a state fair. The kiddos compete in 4H fair for horses and I think they will for sheep this year also! I was talked into competing with the 4H leaders in horse Quadrille last year and was very self conscious about my weight but I am hoping to actually compete in some of the fun gymkhana events this…

We try to take weekends away as the vacation days go to the kids for fair.

YES! Chocolate, Caffeine, and Greasy cheesy hamburgers! UGH. I have managed to fight the hamburger ones but the caffeine and chocolate Yikes!

Yay!!! Congrats!!! I don't know if you have a Kohls in your area, but the 80% Clearance rack is a good stop for interim jeans and pants!

I agree with the above, breastfeeding is the most wonderful gift you can give your child. That aside, being pregnant is what changes the breasts and the tissues, whether you breastfeed or not, from the hormones that are produced during pregnancy so you can carry and deliver a baby. So never getting pregnant or changing…

Maybe the American version went out the window because beans were thought of as poor food. My mom, born during the depression, said they ate beans and potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A Baked bean sandwich was standard for us growing up for any meal or snack inbetween. That said beans are good at any time of the…

My husband has this also. He is not running but walking instead. Unfortunately his go day by day and doesn't seem to matter the shoes, inserts, or stride he does. He ices them at night and puts menthol rub on them. The doc. told him to rest them, but he seems to get them all the time. I don't have the answer but would be…

Thanks for the replies. My husband and the kids have been staying away from me so they won't get it, I am going to send him off to the store though.

I have the same issue with my in-laws. But I have the advantage that after they leave I just toss things out. They say that they are bringing treats to the kids, my husband and I have both asked them to pick up fruits but they will bring high calorie cookies, chips, even dinner in trays like enchiladas. Then my…

Wow!!! Congrats!!!!

Fast food industries have formulated their meals to be the right combination of sugars and fats to stimulate the same parts of the brain that drugs trigger. That makes food an addiction.

I live in the middle of California's Central Valley and I can't find those prices here at either the Supermarkets or the local Farmer's Markets. Corn at the Farmer's Markets around here goes for at least a dollar an ear. That chicken is around seven dollars. Grapes are almost always 2.99 a pound at least. Going organic is…

Not tonight but tomorrow night the Hubby and I have plans to go out dancing! We go to a local club that plays music from the 50's to now and dance almost every dance! I have more stamina so I'll be able to stay on the floor longer! We planned it two weeks ago because I can finally fit back into my hot dress again!!!! Plus…

Hi! I was thinking about this today. I can't wait until my thighs don't rub together! That's what pushed me on my C25K today but playing with my kids more, not feeling worn out or short of breath. Being able to fit back in my Wranglers again and being able to ride my horse without feeling guilty about being heavy (once she…
