Hi there! I live in Tennessee and homeschooled my oldest up until 4th grade through Gateway Christian Schools where I had the option to either use their curriculum or make up my own. I decided to use my own so for curriculum materials, I used a store here called The Knowledge Tree. Here are some great publishers that you…

Aw, sorry you don't like cutting the ends - me either, but if you blanch, sautee(in olive oil), then add some garlic, ginger, and red wine vinegar, you'd have a nice side dish...I usually like to fry a cpl slices of bacon first, and let it drain while you working with the beans and lastly crumble the bacon over finished…

If there were a challenge for 'most awesome posts', you would win - :flowerforyou:

I save up enough calories for late night snacking as I sometimes have a hard time getting to sleep and I'm always hungry when I can't sleep...usually a nice salad with fruit to curb the sweet tooth!

You did an awesome job! I have no doubt that this time around will be filled with success - congrats to you!:wink: I also have belly issues...my baby is 3 years old and I still look like I'm about to go into labor, lol but working on it, good luck to us all!

Yes, those four minutes are killers but they burn lots of fat...you've inspired me to try this again!:sad: lol :wink:

I was verbally bullied every day during jr. high school, not because of being overweight - far from it, I was very thin and of short stature, shy and quiet, plus I didn't 'put out' so that made for many days of misery until I learned the art of retaliation through pointing out my various tormentors' flaws accompanied by…

Cut up over baby spinach leaves, shredded baby carrots, a little red onion, 1tsp olive oil and lime juice, yum!:love:

bump!

There are some really interesting posts for different ways to eat sardines that I'll be trying in the future but I grew up eating them one way...if you want to try them, I remember my dad would buy them in olive oil. BE SURE TO TAKE OUT THE BONES - YUCK - break them up, put them on a plate, with a side of mustard, finely…

Bump

Thanks for all the info - I'm ready for it! :flowerforyou:

That is awesome! I will begin lifting next week and I was afraid of having a gain and I have also been on a plateau for MONTHS now. I'm glad to hear of your success - I'm really stoked now! Btw, I read somewhere that 35lbs is a good starting point...what did you start with?

I don't know you guys, but I came across this and will definitely pray for your friend and you also - keep the faith and stay positive :flowerforyou:

I certainly hope not cause I'm loving this!:tongue:

Best thread EVERRRRR!!! THANKS!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

First off, I just want to say that you are awesome and have given my my laugh for the WEEK - thanks!! It actually took me five years to get pregnant with my first child. I was married for seven years before getting pregnant, used birth control the first 2 years and none the next five. I came to realize that when I stopped…

"This hurts me as much - if not more - as it hurts you so please remove yourself - owww..."

"Such language young lady!":frown:

I've heard that one before, lol!

"K, you can go now...":ohwell:

Woops - thanks! I've only eaten zucchini, and the regular little yellow squash. Needless to say, I'll have to get someone in the grocery store to point the thing out to me, lol!:noway:

Boy, that is beautiful!! I've been wanting to try a butternut squash lately (for the first time), but didn't know how to cook it, thanks!:drinker:

Sad to say but for my fav I'm gonna have to go with the ears :huh: cause everything else is shot right now, :frown: lol but least fav is the belly and upper arms...gotta work it!! :tongue:

"...and you say YOU'RE under pressure???" "SMH!!!"

"It ain't my fault!":angry:

Mine would say, "Okay, the numbers will come down eventually, but the word for YOU today is.......ped-i-cure....seriously." :frown:
