I was up this week, but it was TOM and I could tell I was retaining way too much water. Looking forward to next week's weigh in...

Hi everyone, I'm Michelle. 34 years old, mom of four boys, ages 15, 9, 7, and 3, from the Kansas City area. I work part time as a neonatal ICU nurse (usually just 12 hours every other week, but more like 12-18 a week lately, as we've been very busy) and homeschool my older two boys. We keep a busy schedule - the oldest…

Just hit dessert time, so a birthday cake flavored ice cream sandwich. Wasn't as great as I'd hoped, sadly.

Anyone still around? I'm Michelle, turning 34 later this month, mom to four boys ranging from 3-14 in Overland Park. My husband and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary next month. I work very part-time (24-36 hours a month most of the time) as a nurse and am home with the boys the rest of the time, homeschooling…

Thirding. I totally failed to post in the gelato cleanse month, but rocked the Eat All the Sweets Challenge. During that 30 days of at least one sweet treat a day, eating at a goal of 1650-1700 or so, I dropped just shy of 5 pounds. I'm 5'4 and lightly active - just enough to keep up with four kids, most days. I've been…

My thoughts: 1. Get a food scale, and weigh everything. Everyone always talks here about how it's helped them realize they were eating way more than they thought, but I've had mixed experiences: a lot of foods that I was underestimating sizes of, but many, many more that I overestimated. What I would have guessed to be 4-5…

Ohh, I was thinking angel food cake for tonight. Adding more toppings to the grocery list...I love lemon curd and haven't had it in ages. Francl27, I'm so glad you found some of the hazelnut! I still can't decide if I like it or the salted caramel better, but it's amazing stuff, isn't it?

Mine as well. I'm stifling the urge to go create another.

Update on my choice for the night. Scratch that comment about not having much of an appetite tonight, because when the appetite appeared, it was raging. 100 g Talenti Hazelnut and a better-than-s'mores - a graham cracker with peanut butter, nutella, and toasted mini marshmallows. My mouth and my stomach are very, very…

My carton says it's a Target exclusive. It's fantastic stuff, if you can find it.

Mmm, can't decide if the nutella croissant or the burger on Kings rolls is calling my name louder. Both look amazing!

Ohh, the pictures today. Everything looks fantastic. Must get funnel cake, waffles, and pie on my "to eat soon" list.

We're in the midst of this right now, as the only tailgating we do is for soccer games. I do try to plan ahead and save some room in my week for a couple of drinks and/or treats. We tailgate with a very organized supporters group with one guy who's been appointed "chef" for the meat all year. He matches his dish to…

I'm just under 5'4. My starting weight was 194 and I'm at 184 now, in a size 12-14. My goal is set at 145, which is where I was before kids, and I felt comfortable there, wearing a 7. I may adjust it a little lower when I'm closer...we'll see.

I've been meaning to post in here for, oh, 16 days now. My kind of challenge, for sure.

I'll second whoever said animated speech. Hand gestures and a really expressive face, please. I love men who tell a good story. Physically, great clavicles are my #1 weakness. Prominent cheekbones and angular jaw structure are a close second, especially with a scruffy bit of beard. Plenty of chest/arm hair, preferably on a…

Hey, I'm Michelle. Homeschooling mom of four busy boys ages 14, 8, 7, and 3, and my niece and nephew (ages 4 and 6) are living with us until at least September, too. My second and fourth both have special needs - epilepsy and immune deficiencies for both, plus an autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, and a…

This has been my gym choice the last few weeks: http://youtu.be/NWZoWozMTz0 Any of his mixes get me ready to work hard, really.

I'm not alone in here?!?! Fantastic news. GO ROYALS!

I love it. The raspberry chocolate is a fantastic sweet treat and I've not yet met any flavor that I truly disliked.
