A whole thread about my biggest pet peeve. Here in Texas it is uncommon for people to remove their shoes indoors. But, some little OCD quality sits in my brain staring at my guest's shoes wondering how many pieces of dog feces particles, spit, blood, etc clung to the soles of their shoes before coming to.my house. Then…

Welcome and my condolences on the loss of your wife. It is absolutely life changing to lose someone of such significance. It is great that you are trying to better yourself.

Anti-depressants list suicidal tendencies and thoughts as a possible side effect for children and teenagers. Adult brains react differently to the medication.

100% against medication? Why? Medication saves lives. I hope you won't withhold medication when your child needs it.

You should go see your doctor so he can give you meds for that. You can't just snap out of PPD you have to be treated for it.

Add 500 calories burned of he is exclusively breastfed. When he is eating half solids, just deduct 250 calories, and do on. Yes, you need to eat those calories back, so you should be on a bare minimum of 1700 calories when exclusively nursing. DO NOT eat a low fat diet. He needs your milk fatty and that aides in his brain…

Good! Hope it goes well.

I'd be wary of a woman who hates other women. That's not normal.

I'm not being dramatic, just honest. Just break up with her already. Trust me it is not meant to be. When it is meant to be, you will want to impress her parents. This girl is not the one.

I'm at a 1250 goal with an open diary, but love new friends. I had a root beer float tonight and it was GOOD.

Sleeping in and not making it to meet the parents means you are up poop creek without a paddle. It makes you look immature, irresponsible, and uncaring. Pretty much the epitome of the opposite of what most parents want their daughter to be with. Good luck. I would suggest a grand gesture to make it up to the parents and…

I used to clean houses and would definitely call it "active". Scrubbing all day is hard labor!! I personally would set it as "active" and 2 pound loss per week. Adjust in a couple weeks if needed.

Yay, and it will be perfect, with no pain and absolute bliss.

I'm married now but yes I have dated some overweight and underweight and healthy weight. Why? I guess it is more about personality than physical features.

My kids eat fish, vegetables, all the stuff that is not "kid food" because they don't have any other option. They eat the food my husband and I eat, except I am vegetarian so the fake meat and protein bars I eat when they eat meat. If you hold children to a higher standard they will work to achieve that higher standard.…

I'm so sorry and can imagine how hard that must be. If your husband is looking at other women the way he should be looking at you, he has some big changes to make. I would hope he would agree to marriage counseling but also I highly recommend you both watch the movie Fire Proof. It could really save your marriage (and it…

Mine is public

Doctors recommend to exercise throughout pregnancy. The only activities you should avoid is things where you could get hit in the stomach or you could fall. So, tackle football is out but yoga of course is good! I had a "high risk" twin pregnancy and was walking every day up until 37 1/2 weeks as per my dr's orders. Keep…

I grew up eating meat as my family did, but age 12 I decided I couldn't eat it anymore and went vegetarian. It was very easy for me but I am repulsed by meat so if you like it, it may be harder to transition. I eat a lot of fake meats and protein bars.

Weigh it next time. All solids should be weighed.

I've seen a lot of women seem to take a lot of pride in calling themselves BBW, so maybe he thinks you want to be called that. I doubt he meant harm. He probably tried and failed to flatter you. Of course if someone called me a BBW I would be mad as hell! Lol :D Anyway, just tell him "Hey, I really hate the term BBW. I…

I didn't attempt weight loss while nursing my twins and don't think you should worry about it yet. Just keep eating healthy and when he weans then worry about it.

I use frozen vegetables almost exclusively. They say freezing veggies retains more of the nutrition. Fresh veggies at the store can sit for weeks between being transported so that destroys most of the nutrients. Unless you are growing your own veggies then frozen is the most nutritious option. Nuking them in the microwave…

I've been vegetarian for 16 years. It is a personal choice that I don't force on anyone else. My husband and children eat meat. I believe in the freedom to make your own choices about what you eat. Live and let live. IMHO I believe humans are given the right by God to eat meat. The problem I have is the conditions the…

#2 is really cute. #1 the pleating is just so unfortunate looking

I bet you burned a TON of calories in those two hours. I hope you ate really good after that! I don't know enough about this to really give any decent advice but in my non-expert opinion I would say eat something high in protein in addition to your normal day, like an extra meal. Surely if people on here burn 1k calories…
