Bump (pun intended)

It's a great moisturizer for sure. Obviously cooking with it is lovely; I find if I want to make vegan pie crust is works really well. I hear it makes a decent deodorant in a pinch, interestingly.

I think a chart with a reward system is awesome. You could also do a marble jar, where she puts a set amount in for things and sleeping through gets the most, and she can "spend" them on smaller rewards (e.g., ice cream with you, a movie, a trip to five below...) or "save" them for a big thing (e.g., a tablet, a…

You *are* a good mama. That's why you asked in the first place. Here are hugs. (( )) in case you need them. Parenting is harder than any fitness goals we have laid out for ourselves!

Here is me: 5' 5" SW: 152 (at heaviest) CW: 145 GW: 135 (or less...) 36 - 26 - 41

As a teacher and a mom of three, I would say her nighttime issues are a cry for help from you. She is going through a lot. From her perspective, she has lost you, and the time many of us most acutely feel loss is at night, when we are alone with our thoughts. I would be patient with her. Begin with a conversation-- I will…

Middle school teacher! I'm 36 with three kids, too. Add me! All of you!

Add me! Three kids, full time teacher, plus I do writing and marketing on the side. Vegetarian/veganish as well.

I am a mostly-vegan, always veg curvy girl (occasional local egg or vegetarian cheese)... 5' 5" (in shoes) and CW 147... GW 135. I actually had a cashier at Home Depot remark that she'd never seen a "thick vegan" when we got to talking about food. Ew. I eat really well, I've just had three kids and have always been curvy,…

I would be game...what is it?

I'm 5' 5" and hope to get to 135 BUT would love to be motivated to 130. I was 125 at my lightest but that was BK (before my three kids!). Add me if you like. I eat well but just too much and too often! Currently at 147.

I honestly love reading these! I need to pay more attention to random stranger kindness.

Hi! I am 5' 5" with a goal of 135 as well. I would love to be your friend...add me in and welcome!

Me, me! Add me in. I am a veggie. I'd say about 75% vegan consumption...occasional cheese, but vegetarian cheese.

I'd be in! It has been a lonely few weeks, lol.

Same goal here! 135 and then I will reevaluate. I am at 147 and approximately 36-27-41...I am a cursed pear shape with serious genetics in that category.

I want to be friends with all of you :) I have been vegetarian for years, and took the leap to vegan January 1st as well. My brother is a holistic doctor and we did one of his cleanses together and I didn't want to go back to eating dairy or eggs...I felt so good. I love to cook and eat ;) and would adore vegan buddies!…

Hi! We are the same age :) I am proud of you-- you can do this! Nice too you here and good luck! You've got this!

That's my goal!! What is your routine? How many calories? You look so amazing!! :)

Southeast side of Cleveland!

Yay! Thank you, Kirsty. Tell me about your goals!

Thank you! :)
