Tubbs I <3 you! I printed that out so I can make it for my 3 yr old. He'll freak. I refuse to buy him store granola bars, so I can now make him these!

OOOOHHHH I love the Aria theories! She's my favorite, because I feel like although they try to make her innocent, do-gooder, sweet I think she's got a lot of hidden angst and evil in her and I keep waiting for it to come out! And they seriously need to get rid of Ezra already. He drives me nuts. Same with Sara.

Yeah I'm on season 6 finally on Hulu and it's SO aggravating! I keep getting sucked back in too :( I was convinced for a while that Toby was "off" and was like A's assistant but I think I've accepted he's not (although TBH I think something is still up with him)

I tend to think this,too. I think there are a lot of well-meaning people on the boards, but I also find that there are quite a few snappy/snarky ones and THOSE are the vocal ones. I have lots of times I venture out to the main boards and nope right back in here and other times where I can handle it. A lot of them follow…

I'm pretty close. 5'4.5, 133.5. Ultimate GW I think is 120 but IDK yet.

Thanks for the congrats guys! I've actually had a stupid dopey grin on my face all morning, because I'm so excited. @KylerJaye yay for dating! Sounds like fun, actually!

This is very good advice, and I'm debating just switching to re-comping. I also think I may possibly need to let go of the insane urge I have to be back into my pre-children size. They are absolutely worth going up 1 measly size (at my very thinnest I was a 2, but it was for like 3 months and I was miserable so I count my…

5'4.5 CW 133.5 GW 125-133.5 I'm pretty much at goal but I'm shifting to slowly losing down into the bottom of my maintenance range.

I feel like a jerk posting my happy update after orangesmartie’s post but this morning was a very happy day :) I finally hit goal! I’ve lost 40 lbs (which is embarrassing to say, admitting I had that much to lose) and that feels amazing. I’m actually slightly below my weight before DS#1. I’m still not happy with the way I…

@orangesmartie I'm so sorry :( I'll be thinking of you today. I know how hard it can be to do that.

So I have a small confession: I’m scared to go into maintenance. I keep lowering my goal weight because I know it’ll delay maintenance. I’m scared for the stupidest reason, too- I know I’ll pack on like 3-4 lbs of water (bc I always do) as soon as I start lifting and eating more. I’m planning on slowly increasing calories…

Ugh Piper drives me nuts :( I actually stopped watching after season 2 because Piper drove me crazy and I was rolling my eyes so much.

Yes. I'm 2 lbs from my goal (which I'll then adjust down another 8.5 lb). When weight goal is reached, I will work on fitness goals. Ate the way I'm supposed to/amounts I'm supposed to eat, according to my doctors due to health conditions. Finally stopped being stubborn and realized SAD doesn't work for me.

YAY for Peru!!!! Ugh I want to go SO BADLY!!!

That's what we have running around that I was joking around wasn't a squirrel ;) Tall, skinny, corner of the eye things (or sometimes full vision right in front of you but that's not the norm) that dart around. I see them a lot more when we're stressed or there's lots of turmoil in the house.

This is going to sound weird but I wish I knew you guys IRL lol…it helps SO much to be able to talk to someone. I’m the only one in my friend group that has kids, so sometimes I feel like I’m the “weirdo”. Another woosh last night so I’m only 2 lb away from my first goal now. That’s nice, but all I can see is how far I…

I'm so jealous sometimes of you guys that can eat ice cream! Man that sounds SO awesome!

Had a whole post on this but it got eaten, so here's myCliffNotes: *cue creepy music and/or men in white coats to take me away, whichever you prefer* I like science so I rationalize/explain away a lot of things but in every home I've been in, since I was 10-12 (age when Puberty hit me hard), weird things happen. They…

1. How long have you maintained your goal weight? I originally lost 174 lbs in 2009-2010 and kept that off for 4 years, even after a pregnancy. Then I had my 2nd kid late last year and I've been working on losing the 65 lbs I gained with him. I'm about 3-ish lbs away now from going into maintenance mode again. 2. How did…

HI ALL! Popping in because I wasn't really on yesterday. Both boys have Hand Foot and Mouth virus (lovely daycare, they get something every other week) and I was home with them. Luckily, they must've had it for a few days already with no symptoms, because they don't have fevers and they're acting normal. My 3.5 yr old is…

What's funny is she's diabetic, so she should understand. Her dose of Metformin is too high though but she doesn't go get it changed, because it allows her to eat a LOT of fruits and sweets (to counteract the Metformin). I tell her she's the worst diabetic ever. I feel a tiny bit better today, but still have a headache and…

Aw hugs. I know the feeling. I'm so sorry :(

Without getting into personal details, I know this ALL TOO WELL. They are so charming that everyone thinks YOU'RE the problem, not them. They lie on top of their lies and manipulate everyone, and the worst part is, you start to feel like YOU'RE the crazy one, or like there's something wrong with you, not them. It's…

This. I don't keep regular peanut butter in the house, I make my own almond butter or buy the P28 protein almond butter. The texture is so different from regular peanut butter that I have no problem regulating it. I will eat a jar of PB in like 4-5 days if left unchecked. It's ridiculous.

@Susieq_1994 I'm so sorry :( I hope the flare is a short one and you get to feeling better soon :( @orangesmartie That's such an awesome attitude! Today is a new day and it's going to be great! I am jealous- I want to go to Nashville! lol not sure about the running (I run like an arthritic tortoise) but the rest sounds…

This. I read it with my mouth open. I couldn't even believe it was real. How in the whah...? Why would you have kids just to torment them like that?!

My 3.5 yr old is like this too- only he's charming when he wants to be. He's totally got the "ginger hair and freckles with big cheesy smile" thing down pat so he KNOWS when he's cute. This morning he tells me, "I love you mom because you're my best friend," does the CHEESIEST smile, then asked me for ice cream. I told him…

Want one, but I have a Zip (use daily) and a One (never use, DH doesn't want it) so it would be a waste :(

People tell me all the time I'm "too skinny". Um no I'm not, 5'4.5 and 139 is NOT too skinny. I can safely lose another 10-15. I just have a thin face/bony shoulders now. Most of the people who tell me that are either struggling with their weight themselves OR competitive/jealous of my loss (like my best friend). It's…

So...mini update on me. We're inching closer to adopting a dog. They're calling my references now and if all goes ok, then mid July they will be bringing her up for a meet n greet with my kids/us. I'm very happy about this, DH is on board but still a bit of a Negative Nancy about it. He did admit that he was being unfair…
