I'm from Illinois! What part is everyone from? I'm down here in Effingham, but I grew up in Decatur.

Happy birthday! And I'm going to need your address to confiscate that cake. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I think it's just a video game and sometimes people just find reasons to be angry. I would probably buy it. But then again, I have a pretty sick sense of humor too. *shrug*

I was losing a lot of hair too, but then I started my prenatal vitamins again. No more hair falling out! It is actually thicker and looks much better, and my fingernails look awesome too. Even if you're not pregnant or planning on getting pregnant, you might want to try a prenatal. They've never upset my stomach or…

I've been having those too! I thought I was a little creepy, so I didn't post about it, but now that I know other people have them, I don't feel so bad!

My son just took his first steps!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't really too worried about him walking, even though his doctor kept telling me he was delayed. I figured as long as he was walking before his 5th birthday, I'd be happy. But then he took his first steps today!!!!!!! He walked pretty far too!…

Wow!!! You look so great!!!

Well, yeah! You're eating half a ham every morning! LOL Just kidding. Seriously though, if you eat the same thing every day, your body gets used to it. You really have to keep it guessing and eat different kinds of things on different days. That's how you'll see the most consistent loss.

I make my own bread at home, and I use the La Leche League basic whole wheat bread recipe. It takes a couple tries to get it just where you like it, and if you're a white bread addict, you can start with just a cup or two of WW flour and then increase it as you get used to the taste, but here's a version of the basic…

My husband used to LOVE white bread. He could go through a loaf in a day. I used to love white bread too, but then one day I just said, "That's enough. I'm making our own bread, and it's going to be whole wheat." This is the face I got from him: :noway: The way I switched to whole wheat was just by...doing it. I just…

I have been consistently losing around 1.5 lb a week. But I haven't really been doing very well the past few weeks, so I'm kind of at a standstill (a self-inflicted one, but still a stand-still). If you really stick with it and do the program EXACTLY with no cheat days, etc. you can lose what you want to at the rate you…

Here's a good website I used for some reference for my sister's bridal shower. http://www.bridalshower.com/

I know this sounds kind of stupid, but try sleeping without a pillow for a couple of nights. My neck kinks up like that once in a while, but then I sleep without a pillow for a little while, and it feels TONS better. Just an idea. :smile:

In my experience, a haircut that you get because you're breaking down is NEVER a good decision, because when you wake up from a break down you think, "ugh. that was a mistake." But I say if you want something new, it might motivate you to really achieve what you want to. It might make you look at yourself differently.

Hair will always grow back. You should go for it and if you hate it, it won't take very long for it to grow back. I think it will be gorgeous. Also, it may help you cement the fact that you're changing your life. I know that when I cut my hair back when I started it really helped cement the fact that my life was going to…

I have kind of a chubby face and when my hair is long, I feel like it makes my face look really bloated because the length weighs my hair down and it doesn't balance out the chubbiness in my face. I've kept my hair around chin level, mostly because it minimizes my double chin and...I don't know, it makes my face look more…

Congratulations! She's beautiful!

Well, thank you everybody :blushing: :blushing: :blushing:

<So what do you think? I thought for a little while it was a little too Liza Minnelli, but I think it looks alright. The coolest part is that the underside is short short, there's just the one layer that's long like that. So that it keeps my head cool in the summer. HeHe. Just thought I'd share. Oh, and also...I'm wearing…

They used to have cappuccino flavored soy milk that I used to get all the time, because it was SOOOOO good, but I can't find it anywhere now. :frown: But congrats(?) on your newfound love for soymilk!

I actually noticed that in my Vogue this month and I thought, WTF? I get waxed religiously every two weeks to AVOID looking like that. I have probably spent a small fortune getting my eyebrows done for the past ten years; I should have just left them. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: But I guess with the right clothing, lighting,…

Well, I went through a phase in junior high where all my pants had to be the super super wide leg pants, with tiny little tee shirts on top. I was SO awesome. But I guess my biggest fashion blunder is walking around for years not realizing that my eyebrows have to be severely groomed to even be passable. I look at picture…

http://www.jeffgalloway.com/ This is a site my mom uses when planning her marathons, and she used it when she was starting back into running. She really likes the easy plans he gives. http://www.marathonrookie.com/ She gave me this one too, and said it had some good advice on it. Good luck with your marathon!!! From what I…

An old friend of mine that I don't talk to anymore (so I guess you couldn't really call her a friend, but ANYWAY. Long story) is having some really hard times right now. I just found out that her mom has about one week to live because she has cancer that hasn't been responding to any treatment. Her dad died of cancer about…

Keep it up, Miss Lindsay! We all believe in you!

Blue or green is always good for bathrooms. It's very soothing. I would say purple too, but I know how my husband is about painting things purple, and I think every man is the same way. :tongue:

Pregnant. That is the question. So I've been doing really well, eating right, exercising six days a week, etc. And then all of a sudden, my weight loss stopped. And then skyrocketed upwards. I'm talking like, 5 pounds in one week. Without any change to what I'm eating, exercising, or any of it. Plus, I'm nauseous all the…

And I LOVE IT!!! I basically went in and told my stylist to do whatever she wanted. So she gave me a modified mohawk with a really heavy blunt bang. Think Velma Kelly from Chicago when I wear it down. Now if only I actually looked like Catherine Zeta-Jones. I might post a picture if I can work up the nerve. My husband…

I just got the new Parents Magazine today and they had a whole article dedicated to blueberries! What a coincidence! Here's the link to the recipes...Yummmmmmmm.... http://www.parents.com/recipes/cooking/kid-friendly-food/healthy-kids-snacks/ Edit: Okay, so they aren't the HEALTHIEST things out there, but I think they…
