I just have to say that, there are so few great guys out there, that this has to be one of the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I would toss just about anything out the window for those qualities. Especially the terrific father part!

Except for asparagus & mushrooms all of our veggies are frozen. Sometimes I even buy frozen fruit if I'm making something like yogurt pops. I buy frozen chicken too. We have 4 kids as well and I've been laid off since December. It has been a challenge but I have gotten better about shopping around the outside of the…

I'm in! I've been stuck and this would definitely help me I think. I'm Suny and I am a SAHM to 4 amazing kids (13, 10, 3 & 8 months). I was always skinny until I had my 1st daughter. I gained a ton of weight and it took me 3 years to lose it. When I did I got pregnant with my 2nd daughter. I lost that weight fairly quick…

Charlotte Russe or Forever21 both have really cute dresses fairly cheap too. http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11505746&cp=4078198.4192312 Edited to add link

I love skinny cow! It has truly been a life saver. If I am craving something else, I tell myself I can have it, IF I make it from scratch. I can't tell you how much that has completely cut my sweet tooth :)

You can eat healthier on a budget. I feed 6 of us on 240 for 2 weeks. Frozen veggies are a great thing. However if your parents won't try that's not going to make much of a difference. Can you buy things to make dinner one or two nights a week? Or can you buy protein shakes or powder? That way at least you are getting some…

I usually find my running shoes on clearance at shoe stores or sports stores will also have them on clearance a lot. Especially the big sports places. My last pair of New Balance I purchased were $30. They were normally $70. Target is also a really good place to find clearance on work out clothes. Their clothes are…

I was a 12 US but I've got a post baby belly so may not be the best to go by.

When I first started working out I did really easy DVD's and then worked my way up to harder ones. There is no way I could do what I do now 7 months ago. Just give yourself some time and work your way up. Or do the 10 minutes of what you have this week and then next week make yourself do 15.

Dos Equis Amber has 146 calories per 12 oz. Yuengling (if you can find it) has 145 per per 1 pint. Those are the only dark beers I drink besides Guiness.

Thank you for this! Today I really needed it!

I really liked Bob Harper's Strength DVD. It's an hour long gives you a great work out and is $10 at Target.

My girls care and notice. Hubby not so much! But my girls are 10 & 13 and the oldest is seeing Mommy have muscles again and she wants those for her Vanguard.

I think wow it's so quiet. With a house full of 4 kids, a husband and 3 dogs I never have any quiet. Running gives me that so I try to enjoy it.

From February until I joined MFP 2 months ago I had lost 30 pounds. Since joining here I've lost 4. I lost one of those in July, I have 23 pounds left. I am shrinking and firming up but it would be nice to see the scale go down at least some. It's getting very frustrating.

My oldest is super picky. My 10 year old and 3 year old will eat almost anything. Or at least try it. I am doing BLW with my 8 month old and he will currently try just about anything. If it doesn't look good to her she won't eat it. End of story. She's always been that way. She doesn't really eat junk food though. And I…

Great job! You look amazing!

Skinnytaste.com has a lot of really good recipes. My family eats them and they didn't even notice they were healthy.

bodyrock.tv.com The workouts are very short but very effective and are free. They do look hard and they are. But you can also modify them. They range in time from 12 minutes to 45. Some you need weights others you just use your body. I KNOW you have 12 minutes. If you would like some links just send me a message and I can…

We ALL need encouragement! And definitely without judgement. Nobody is perfect even on a good day. You are making steps in the right direction! That's what matters. I've never had EdNos. I know what it is though. Feel free to add me. I'm happy to offer support. You would never find any judgement from me. That goes for…

I don't see it as my business. There are so many people losing weight in different ways. They could be calorie cycling, doing low carb, etc. Someone could be counting just calories one day and the next decide to do low carb. So unless I'm asked I don't say anything other than good job if I have time. If I think they've…

Down a whole whopping pound to 132 for Fit & Victorious

I'm 5ft 2 and my hubby is 5ft 11 and 265 pounds. He's a really big guy that eats a ton. Sometimes while I am getting the kids their dinner, he will make a plate for me (very sweet) but it's almost the same size as his. He does this to my girls too who are 10 & 13. The only time I could eat like that was when I was pregnant…

I've had to start doing it when ever I can. Life gets so hectic at times. I tell myself that no one is going to give me my body back. I have to take it. If I'm super tired I will tell myself just do something for 10 minutes. If your still tired you can quit. Usually though once you've started you want to finish. So I guess…

It depends on how long it was and how much it kicked my bum. The other day I did just a 12 minute ab workout so I made up for it by doing jump rope and some squats. But I did a 15 minute full body workout 1 day that had me super sore, so I just did that. I think yoga would be a really great thing to add to any of her…

Wow! I haven't checked back in a few days and this post is booming! Awesome!

^^This^^ I get bored so quick with work outs. So I started doing bodyrock.tv.com this week. Those things really kick your bum. There are so many different ones to pick from it would take a long time to get bored. *edited to add a few links* http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/08/27/get-these-abs-workout/…

I definitely think the forum especially could use a good over haul. It's way behind the times.

I think if they are done right, they look really good. Just go with something that will look natural on your frame. If it will make you feel better about you, then I say go for it.

Check out bodyrock.tv.com. They are all free and they have a lot of body weight work outs. They are super quick but you really feel it.
