The only real way to do that is to call them and ask their policies, or meet with them and discuss what you would like from your doctor-patient relationship. Most doctors I've been to are willing to at least discuss alternative treatments, if they don't recommend them, they at least will discuss the pros and cons with me.…

Ooh! Ooh! Mr. Kotter! I have a cute baby boy. This is like match.com for toddlers. :bigsmile:

I think the good thing is that you're so young, so skin is still pretty springy. And since you're so hydrated from drinking all that water, your skin should pop pretty close to where it's supposed to be. I have the same thing, and so does my mom...And my grandma. My mom has lost a substantial amount of weight (like 200…

That is completely understandable. Sometimes there is no healthy choice and stress takes over. Especially when your kids are sick. Just write it off as a horrible night and start fresh today. Big hugs to the little one!!! I hope he feels better soon!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I think it would help you exercise for longer if you split it up into smaller times. It would also make it easier. I know it's hard to exercise with little ones around. I personally don't think you have to do it all in one space of time, and can space it out to 10 minute intervals throughout the day when you have time.…

I think you're making GREAT progress. You have to take this in baby steps or you'll feel deprived. So I think, you only ate one meal at Wendy's? Good!!! Think of when you used to eat three. You ate 2/3 less food than you used to. And you ate half the ice cream you normally would. I think that's great. Nobody changes…

Let's hope these work. This is just the belly. This is our wedding day. Yeah, I was pregnant, if you can tell. Everybody looks so cute!!!!! I really miss being pregnant.

There was a recipe in the WW recipes thread that had bread and eggs and meat and cheese and veggies. That would be good to serve. And a deli platter is ALWAYS an option. Everybody likes a deli platter. It will be fun no matter what you serve, so just figure out what sounds good. Have fun!!!

Oh, I haven't paid full price on anything...well...ever...But after I do all this hard work, I may just treat myself to them. I definitely don't have that kind of money to just spend willy-nilly. But we all deserve a treat after we work so darn hard. Edit: Also, there's a store near here that sells them. Before I bought…

Does anyone have a pair of these? http://www.skinnyjeans.com/ Are they worth the investment? I'm thinking about after I lose all this weight. I just don't see 13 years of cellulite just going away...And my skin is so stretched out from pregnancy that this pooch may not go away either. So I was just wondering if these were…

That is SO GREAT!!! I can't wait until I get there. And you look FIERCE girl!!! Work those medium shirts! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

That's what I would do!!! Edit: But also, make sure that you don't get into any kind of sparring match, because you never know a) if she'll be taping or saving it, or b) if you might say something you don't mean that might hold up in court. I know that when I've been in fights with my husband, I've said things I don't mean…

Wooooo!!!! Good job!!!

First of all, I am so sorry that she's acting that way. Some people just don't know when they have it good. (I understand that's worded strange, but it's meant to be a dig on her and a compliment on you.) As for what to do, I, personally (big grudge-holder here) would leave her to be in debt. It's not your responsibility.…

I just found this and read every page. That is SO great that you found your Mr. Right. I'm so happy for you!!!!!! Please keep us all updated. Now I'm hooked!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Yeah, they are. I freaked out in the store when I saw them. I have the same problem with salad dressing. I just didn't want to give it up, but I knew it was a huge calorie-eater. Try at Wal-Mart, that's where I found it.

They have ranch spritzers, and I think it tastes pretty darn good!!!!!!

Dangit!!!! I think you live near me, and I was really hoping that we wouldn't have to deal with crappy weather again. Boo! :frown:

Well, my sundresses ALWAYS (usually) wrap all the way around me. :laugh: :laugh: How will anyone at the store know my accomplishment if I don't show them???? I'm j/k. But I am going to wear it around the house until my hubby gets home so I can show him. :blushing: :blushing:

Ahem... As of today, I, Mary (name withheld), can wrap a bath towel around herself (not a bath sheet, a bath towel), and NOT flash all her naughty bits to everyone in the house. It's been a long time coming, but it sure feels good. I think I'll wear just a towel all day. Maybe even to the store. Thank you. :bigsmile:…

I was just thinking about that today as I was getting dressed! All of my clothes are black. I think that has to do with most of my clothes are maternity clothes, and I was pregnant in the winter, so black was in. (Plus, when you're pregnant, who wants to mess around with matching colors? It was easier just to buy…

Woo-hoo! Good job!!!!

This probably isn't what happened to you, but it is something to consider. My toenail did the exact same thing after I had bumped it one night. It didn't really bother me, but then a couple of months later, it looked like it was detaching from the nail bed, etc. We went to the podiatrist and it turns out my bone had…

Is his name on the checking account or anything like that? We went through almost the same thing, except my husband had NO credit. I would check with your bank first to see if there are any credit cards that they offer, because that way you can just use the card to get gas and then go right in and make a payment to the…

My husband wasn't all for it in the beginning either, but then, as I cleaned out our cupboards of all the crap food, and the only option he had was the good for you stuff, he now prefers it. We made homemade granola the other day (not exactly low in calories, but still REALLY good for you) and we took it on a long car…

Welcome!!!! This is the best site around for support and any kind of help or information you might need. You're going to do great!!! :flowerforyou:

Well, that should be...fun...:bigsmile: I remember going to all those little kid concerts when I was little and having an amazing time. Now that I'm the adult going...I really appreciate my mom and dad taking me. They are some STRONG people. :smile:

And boy, did it feel good. My son is having a Backyardigans birthday party in a couple of weeks, so I'm trying to get his birthday stuff together. Dang, there's a lot of party stuff out there!!!!! Anybody else have any fun birthday parties coming up?

There's a website called babyfit.com that's like this one, but for pregnant women. I would check that out. I think that would help a lot. Also, just maybe set your goals at maintain, and then you can be sure that the only weight you're gaining is baby. That might help it stay off. And congratulations!!! :flowerforyou:
