lobster nachos!

Didn't work for me to improve scar/stretch mark appearance however did moistureize my skin nicely!

haha when I was 11 I asked for beanie babies... She just probably equates pop-tarts with things she loves and would want! :)

Each to their own! I believe alone time is very beneficial but I also am of the mindset that our children are only children for a short time. We will have more time on this earth with them as Adults than children. Cherish the little moments :)

All of you deserve a round of applause!!! Incredibly inspirational! :)

Hey! I am a single mom of a 5 year old as well :) I work full time mon-friday 5 am-2:30pm, I get my exercise in in the 2:30-3:30 span my daughter is still in school... also, I have learned to ask for help if I need it; I'll ask a friend to watch her for an hour while I work out... I make the time where I can and if I can't…

People who ask for my advice, then they don't follow my advice and whine and cry about how they should have taken my advice... Shut up, shut up please!

Some people come into your life as blessings, some people come into your life as lessons.

Good morning! 10 months, must be about to walk soon? I am a single mom of a soon to be 5 year old Daughter. I've been single and raising her on my own since she was 18 months. I understand where you are coming from. I too am an emotional eater... food is a comfort for me. You have to find things that make you happy, you…

I've had really bad shin splints since I was a teenager...Proper shoes and if it's cooler seem to help for me.

To lose 6.5 lbs and be at 30 lbs lost! Wish me luck :)

Free! my company provides a recreation facility complete with pool for it's employees and family :)

hmmmm usually I would buy things I loved and hoard the remaining candies for myself. This year, I did not buy anything as I have my daughter to take out and no one will be home to hand candy out (meaning, had i bought some... I'd have eaten it all. I mean all of it) So, my biggest challenge this year will be not eating the…

Amazing!!! Mine is this- I work on a goldmine site and predominantly with men. They didn't notice when I dyed my hair from blonde to almost black BUT this morning my one supervisor said "I gotta ask, have you lost weight?!" ... of course I said "YOU BET I HAVE"... made me feel good to know people are noticing now! :)

I use it as dip with fresh cut vegetables. On sandwiches inplace of butter/mayo/mustard or dressings, On wraps and with crackers.

Godspeed ghost rider! I don't impose rules on my friends, I take them as they are; crappy and unmotivated :P

I only have 1, she is 4 turning 5 but she has the personality of 20 kids though lol I keep very busy with her school/activites and my fulltime and parttime jobs!

I started Sept 16/2013 so 6 weeks ago and have lost 22 lbs...I stick to my daily calories strictly and I don't eat back my exercise calories at all. I've upped my water intake to 12 cups a day and only drink black coffee and plain herbal tea as beverages. I basically live by the motto you can have it all, as long as it…

*HIGH FIVE* Great job! keep it up :)

Oy...and you want to marry this? What kind of expectations and self respect do you have for yourself? You can only control YOU, trying to change or control someone else's actions or thoughts doesn't work... you shouldn't have to nag your significant other to contribute to your relationship in all areas(sex included)...I've…

amazing! Total transformation, you must be so proud!

Add me. I need to lose 77 pounds total, am currently working on the first 50 ...

Here's a guy who's got it figured out!

You're right, I am a mom. A mother who is more than fully capable of supporting my child on my own, but I chose to fight tooth and nail for 3 years to get what my child deserves. Determination pays off, my baby girl will have every opportunity to go to university and become an educated woman, just like her mother :) I…

He's not writing a cheque for the mother. He's writing a cheque or in most unpaid child support cases having his wages garnished so that HIS child's needs/well being/wants are met. The reality of the situation is it works both ways, there are dead beat mothers out there too. AND!!! If you have joint custody with equal…

The system isn't flawed anymore than your logic on this topic. I can only imagine what the arrears would be on 3 years of unpaid child support. The money isn't for the "EX _____" it's for the child; and if there is a surplus after all the necessities are met it should go towards that child's future education. Now, I'm…

There is a baseline... and it's based on how much money you make. Sure, hypothetically it may only cost 300.00 a month to raise a child but if the one parent makes 150K a year and gets to live a cushy lifestyle why should your child have to scrape by with the bare minimum, while the other parent does all the work ensuring…

This totally sounds like my pregnancy lol... Just the thought of smelling bacon made me dry heave...On the upside, if It's morning sickness, it too shall pass! :)

Plank until you can't plank no more! ;)

"... but I'd like to think I can cheat it all to make up for the times I've been cheated on..." Carry on- fun.
