  • Arrowhead Mills puffed kamut cereal -- it's only 50 calories a cup and has protein, no sugar. It satisfies my reach and crunch cravings.
  • There's no way you haven't lost sizes in clothes -- your waist and belly has SHRUNK! You look great, and 65 lbs is very impressive! Way to go.
  • I can't taste a difference between (Chicago) tap water and bottled. I rarely buy bottled as it seems an unnecessary expense. I've heard that much bottled water is just bottled tap water anyhoo.
  • Hello! I am also a Mom of 5 -- 14, 12, 9, 8 and 3. I think that making ME a priority will be very good for the family. I already see my children choosing some healthier options -- my teenage boy ate a salad with his pasta tonight and that almost never happened before.

  • Never sacrifice what you want MOST for what you want NOW.
  • I'm heading out now -- although you have me beat in total snow depth. My workout will be clearing the basement steps -- I have to carry the load up the five steps, and it's drifted 4 feet up against the door. The rest of it is only about 10 inches. I'm on the south side of Chicago -- where are you?
  • I agree, it can happen. But could there be another reason you have missed a period? Maybe take a pregnancy test...
