My 4 year old daughter sleeps with me. She has since day 1. She has her own bed in her room but she has only slept in it once or twice when her cousins are over. Our 70 lb lab used to sleep with us but the dog likes to lay on our legs and she won't move so she has her own bed in my room now!

This is good too.

This. I have a 4 year old daughter and I try to get in physical activity as much as possible with her. Go outside and ride bike with her. Go for a walk to the park. Play in the yard with her. Do yard work with her. Go on walks together. She also loves it when I just sit down and play with her. It may not be active but…

That is a BIG deal!! And its awesome! That is such a great feeling. I can totally relate and am glad you shared this to let others know that there is hope. Congrats!

I am having this same problem. I can't stand the taste of coffee but like the caffeine in the morning. I drink 2 cups and that is 245 calories worth of creamer. Its a lot. I've tried cutting down on creamer, making my own creamer, truvia, milk, soy milk and almond milk, hot cocoa. Its all so gross! I am out of solutions so…

Your liver can repair itself as long as it hasn't been too scarred, i.e. cirrhosis of the liver. I was diagnosed with fatty infiltration of the liver a few years back after an ultrasound was done. My blood test also showed very high liver levels. My levels have since come down and my liver is functioning like that of a…

Wow. 3 kids under 3 is no joke! I am a single mom of 1 four year old and 1 very hyper dog. I have more problems with the dog getting in my way then my daughter lol. I work out when I get home from work and my 4 year old either does it with me, or plays in her room or watches a movie in my room. Have you tried doing a…

I am one and it can be pretty bad.

This. Fast food is loaded with sodium and can cause you to retain quite a bit of water.

I think what also doesn't help is these people are going to a weight loss clinic so they think it is healthy. I have a friend that is going to one and spending $100 a month for these diet pills. She's ecstatic with her huge weight loss every week but if I say anything then I am being negative so I just decided whatever…

No, its an annoying version of counting calories! Counting plain old calories is simple! Lol

This exactly. I hated figuring out points for items when I was at the store too. WW did work but I really like MFP, its free and there is an online support system. But for some people they need the extra push of going to meetings and getting weighed.

I love this seasoning!

I do all of this and on breaks and lunch I walk outside or inside around the building if weather is bad.

Exactly. I've had friends tell me they prefer the taste of plastic margarine over real butter. Gross!

Lol

I am a single mom and am responsible for all of this. Its tiring. And I don't like cooking for others. It leaves me no time for me to exercise on top of everything else I have to do. I own my home and I rent out a room to help with finances. The last renter had his girlfriend and their kid over everyday. We would end up…

You need extra calories when breastfeeding even if its not exclusive breastfeeding. I think mfp gives you 500 extra calories a day for exclusive breastfeeding so you should be okay with half of that since yours is night time and once during the day. Also exercising you need to eat more. Just try it for a couple of weeks…

This is a very good example.

You need to talk to the apartment manager. That is ridiculous to only hand out 1 key to a 2 adult household. Or ask if there is a code you can use to get back in. You can also walk around inside the complex. Get your 2 year old to do the exercise DVDs with you. Its hard when you have kids but it can be done!

Sacramento!

I live about 2 hours from the Pacific. I go at least a few times a year. I've always wanted to live closer to the coast but here in CA it is so expensive.

This post couldn't have come at a better time. I too was looking at weight loss surgery, the gastric sleeve. I'd gone as far as getting all the insurance requirements done but I didn't go any further cause the surgery scares me. I am not at peace with having the surgery but just this morning I had posted on my newsfeed…

Ditto. Used underwear would be gross!

I've had it. Had laparoscopy surgery for it when I was 24. And a few months before I turned 27 I got pregnant and my daughter is now 4 1/2 years old. You don't have to live with the pain and you can go on to have children and you can help to prevent it from coming back. I have been having bouts of pain recently similar to…

I wonder if this is the newer version of my F11? Mine has all these features too. I really like the own zone on mine.

I have a Polar that I bought 4 years ago. The F11. Not sure if you can still get it but mine also has a lot of functions. If you just want to track calories it is very easy to use. I put on the chest strap and the watch, push a button on the watch to start exercise and push once more to begin and that's it. During the…

I'd probably be the lowest of the fitness levels lol. I have a fear of getting on a bicycle and the tires flattening. I still want one though so I can go on bike rides with my daughter.

I have 4 right now and I am kind of worried how they will look as I start to lose weight. Has anyone had a problem with this?
