*bump* I'm still here - just incredibly busy. I'm still keeping up on all you though!

Okay - still reading responses and still feel that they fluid issue is the problem. Okay - say your base rate for the day with your activity level is 2300. that means any day you eat over that you gain. If when not dieting you eat 3000 a day - your are gaining almost a quater a pound a day. that is more than a pound a…

Okay- sorry just had to put in my two cents. No- you are not eating normally for your metabolism. Two - you say you feel like you are starving. As a chemist I have to say this is probably not because you are hungry - you are thirsty. The "pains" and "growling" are the same for both, you just have with bad habits…

Hey everyone! Ugh- sorry I haven't been posting, kids were sick and now I have a fuzzy head cold. That means my response time whens some one addressess me is off a few beats - LOL. I am still slow but steady. I did go over a little bit the other day b/c I was craving salt I think b/c of the cold. But I am still losing.…

miss pink short - No- don't lose motivation, keep it up! Treat yourself to something, a new good book, a great cup of tea or coffee, a hot bath with the music blaring - you can do it.

Congrats on the wonderful blessing of the bundle of joy! I am sooooo happy for you! Two- Bokwa - it is a new (relatively speaking the guy has been doing it in LA for years, just got popular) low coordination alternative for Zumba type aerobic dance. It is really easy but really effective. Even kids can do it although not…

Hey - only had a minute today, but wanted to mention that Bokwa class. Awesome - highly reccommend, good for the non coordinated and easily adjusted for your level. It felt great physically, and in the fact that I did not feel like an idiot who couldn't follow. There is no DVD of it yet, but reccommend it if you find a…

schweta - I have started a new "healthy" habit. With each meal I have a salad with dressing on the side and eat from it first. I will do romaine with tomato and onion with a tablespoon of lite ranch on the side and dip each forkful. I will sometimes do cucumber and tomato with just a little salt and lite greek dressing.…

G2 - Definitely can be the fried food, especially if you have been working on adding veggies and fiber to your diet. Same thing can happen if you regularly eat dense fried food and then start with veggies and fiber :) Your body uses acid, water and muscle contraction to digest and move food thru your intestines. When we…

Okay- I am going good. My husband took my kids to taekwondo so I was able to use the xbox ea sports active "game". I did it! Even though it lost my heartbeat signal so I kept getting crazy warnings - I guess it though I might have expired. I have it set for four times a week, I don't know if I can do that though b/c I am…

Okay - today while kiddies are doing martial arts I am going to try to use the dojang's tread mill. It is so hard to make time to work out when you are the one who monitors the kids YKWIM? And then tomorrow I am going to take my first Bokwa class. And then on Saturday I am going to try the Xbox Knect's activeinspire…

I am there with you - I want to get under 200 and then to 160. Oh- and WDW is awesome! If you ant any suggestions just message me:)

Hi- I just had to reply that I love highland style. I made two kilts for my 4 yo son and husband this summer for our faire. Husband's was to the stripe and 9 yards. My son looked adorable.

Hello- If it is okay I go by my screen name of Morning Mommy on threads b/c sometimes I vent:) I need to lose 80 pounds. After my first child at 28 I told myself I had until 40 to get back to just "overweight" and not "obese" on the bmi's. So now at 36 almost 37 I have started - and I have lost 6 pounds:) With me it is…
