For a family of 4 we spend $800 a month but that also includes house items like laundry soap, TP etc. Our home is very diverse though. My hubby likes full on meat and potatoes meals, I am trying to eat light, my 17 year old is a vegetarian and my 6 year old is picky.

Growing up my mother was also verbally abusive. Honestly I think she is the reason I have some eating issues. All of my brothers and sisters were super skinny and I was a little chunky, not bad though. When we went out to eat she wouldnt let me order things like a cheeseburger but the other kids could. She would tell me…

You look amazing. GREAT job. I bet you feel wonderful too.

Ingredients •1 large onion, chopped •1 medium green pepper, chopped •2 teaspoons olive oil •4 garlic cloves, minced •1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained •1 can (16 ounces) fat-free refried beans •1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained •1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth •1 can…

Did you take your measurements prior to starting your journey? Go by measurements, not the scale. Your doing fine just keep up the good work.

Great job! You look so much younger now too!

Hips Don't Lie - Shakira.

Great job! Cant wait to get off of mine.

LMAO

Start at your own pace and what makes you comfortable. Just try to get in 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. It will get easier. Good Luck.

All of you look amazing! Thank you for the inspiration. I need to get this last 60 lbs off for my health. Why do I let food control me? ARGH!

Great job! You looking amazing. Congrats!

When there are children out there being physically and emotionally harmed, on purpose, that are still no taken away I find it ridiculous that a child would be taken away. In many cases the parents were never taught to eat right as well and dont understand what the problem is. How about making healthy eating classes…

Its a hormone so yes it does ulter your body chemistry. Depo made me like a lunatic, so I didnt get my second shot. I stayed on regular bc pills after that until my tubal ligation in 2006 after my son was born. Abstinence, IUD or a condom are the only way you wont need to take something that will simulate hormones.

I can purr like a cat. Its not using my tongue either, just something I can do at the back of my throat. My daughter can make the exact sound of a billy goat. :)

Thanks everyone. I am going to start measuring as well, I was just to scared to before. :) Today I am taking a break from exercise and I think tomorrow I will go take a swim at the gym. These pounds were so easy to put on.......

Here is my conversation with my 5 year old on Sunday, Fathers Day. Ethan "Mom we forgot to give dad his armpit." Me "His armpit? What are you talking about?" Ethan "That's how you say present in Spanish." Mom "No its not." Ethan "Japanese?" Oy!

Oh and he rest of my family HATES fish.

I love fish too! Well salt water, not fresh. My favorite is grouper but living in wisconsin I have to settle for Cod. :)

Mark Harmon is #1 Antonio Banderas is a close second.

I walk circles in my house.

Sounds good. I am going to try this tonight. Although it calls for Dijon and honey, I am just going to use Koops Honey mustard. Thats what I have on hand and it tastes great.

Fun is having more energy to do things with your children, spouse, family and friends. Fun is being able to catch your Chihuahua when she runs. Great post! Keep up the good work.

Congrats! I am in SE Wisconsin so I know how brutal it was yesterday. Great job hanging in there.

Thank you so much! Actually all of my brothers and sisters are at least 5'7, my baby sis is 6', and I am 5'3". My mothers side are very petite and my fathers larger. I started my journey BECAUSE I don't want to end up like my father. He is in a wheelchair because he lost his leg to diabetes and can barely see because of it…

You look great!

Thanks everyone. I have been walking about 3 miles a day for 2 months and today went back to the gym. Might have to get a personal trainer because i am lost with the toning aspect.
