My first suggestion is to check out Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover. It gives you step by step of how to get out of debt and how to stay out of debt. I did the Financial Peace University at my church and it changed my life! No I don't work for them or anything I just felt defeated like judging by your post you do and it…

The lotiony was for a few days now I just feel a little juicy. It's clear and not strechy. I think my cervix is moving down though so I am really confused, although I'm not entirely positive I know what I am feeling for or how to gage it since I've only checked for a week. I think either I'm not going to ovulate this month…

I just get the Walgreens store brand prenatals. They are exactly the same as Stuart brand just cheaper. I have been thinking about taking 2 tums a day to supplement my calcium but I'm with you on worring about going overboard and doing more harm than good. Also I looked and Walgreens sell a DHA supplement for $9.99. (I…

I would go ahead and start taking them. You can get a 3 month supply for under $15. I have heard that they need to be in your system 2-3 months before you get the full effect. You may be waiting until December now if you change your mind and bump up the date like my hubby and I did you don't want to have to wait 2-3 months…

I stayed the same. Now about that rhythm thing??

Ok I'm in! does it matter when in your cycle that you start tracking? my LMP was April 6th, my last cycle was 25 days so I think I should ovulate on the 17th. I went on mymonthlycycles like kiffypooh suggested and charted my cycle flow, length ect. (OK maybe I am more ready to chart than I realized LOL) I took an ovulation…

Well I got ovulation prediction tests so I figure I'll try that this month. If I don't get pregnant this month I will start charting. I just don't want the pressure of officially trying yet although I really hope it happens soon. I know it's silly! I ovulated regularly off the pill. The only thing is my body followed it's…

Yeah just give it a week or two and you should be able to tell if it's too much or not. If I start gaining back then it's back to 1450 I go. It's hard when you have a set number/ amount of food per day in your head then when you adjust and get more it feels wrong. Let us know what you find out!

That sounds about right. I am about 5'7" and weight 140. I lost 5 pound in just over a month eating 1450 with little exercise. I just readjusted my goals to lose 1/2 a week and now it's at 1650 which seems very high to me. I think it's just a shock to get that many more calories a day. I honestly would be ok if I stay at…

That seems high to me. I am 5'7" was 145 and set to lose .75 a week. I have 1450 before working out.

I started taking them the end of February thinking that we would start trying in August. I am glad that I did because we couldn't stand waiting that long and now I will have at least a couple of months worth in my system. Walgreens has a great prenatal vitamin that is about the size of a tylenol and only about $12 for 100.…

Thanks guys for all the encourgment. I am on mymonthlycyles now like Kiffypooh suggested. One more thing to distract me at work LOL. I figure it will happen in God's perfect timing until then I have 5 more pounds that need evicted! Completely off topic, I am very surprised that the spinach I added to my sub has sodium in…

That would be Amazing. Easter Sunday my Grandma said that she can just see us running around with twin boys, pretty funny because we didn't decide to ditch the pill until later that night. I'm pretty sure our house is two small for twins, only 2 bedrooms and 1 daughter already. Congrats that would be so exciting!

Yes it is Cici's and it's as good as any of their other pizza. Very disgusting!

I'm so sorry that it has been this tough for you. I have a 4 1/2 year old daughter and now I am trying for my second, my husband's first. It's very exciting but a scary. I am halfway to my goal and we are trying to just leave it up to God when it happens. I'm not quite ready to make a science experiment out of myself and…

That is awesome! I was really scarred it would take forever to get back to normal!

Well I was down 2 pounds this week as of Monday and Tuesday but TOM is visiting so I'm back up one. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to get regulated because I took my last bc pill 4/2/10. WE ARE OFFICALLY TRYING! I am halfway to my goal but it feel so good to be healthy now. So does anyone know the average time for…

I completely agree! It's been a little over a year that I lost tons of weight. I was down to about 125 but I was so empty. I thought I had to go to the bar to have a good time and usually would skip dinner and just go to happy hour after work. God had so much more in store for me. I realized that the devil had stolen my…

I ate whatever I wanted for 3 day and then when back to counting and it was enough to get me over the hump. I had been so discourged because I lost down to 141 then back up to 143. I'm down to 140 and holding now. The theory is it shocks your system of diet mode and when you go back to eating right you lose again. It was…

Kiffypooh-We still don't know for sure. She is still bleeding. They checked her hormone levels this morning and she will find out later if she is still pregnant....what a rollercoaster.

Kiffypooh-apparently she lost the baby last night. The doctor confirmed it today. She told me that she knew that she lost it before she went. She had sharp pains Friday, Cramps and spotting Saturday, and physically lost it Sunday night. The doctor told her on Saturday that it's not abnormal to bleed a little but I think…

I LOVED FPU. We managed to pay off my credit cards and now just have the house and 2 car payments. The hardest part is sticking with it (we bought a new truck last Monday.) You can do it though once you get the debt snowball going you breathe much easier. I am super excited yesterday my DH decided that we don't need to…

On asking for something you want "the worse they can do is tell you no"-my dad it REALLY helped me get over my shyness

If you have the iphone app it shows you everything and sync's with the website.

I am up a pound again this week too. I ate really bad for several days in hopes that I could "shock" my system into losing again. To be honest I'm getting pretty bummed about my body. I know that I am really lucky because this is the first time I have really had to be concerned with trying to lose weight, but it's also the…

Tattoo warning! I love that everyone has rewards for themself when they accomplish their goals! My warning is to really think about it before you get a tattoo. I'm not just saying this because my husband is a preacher either. I have a quarter sleeve(koi fish) and a tramp stamp(although they weren't called that yet when I…

I am really glad you posted this today. To be honest I was just about ready to quit trying this morning when I saw the scale. It was up all but 1 pound I have lost. I give it three days before I log it and if it wasn't different I was going to give up. I just switched to ortho tri cylcle lo, this is the end of the first…

Thank you so much!!! I put in fat free soups but left the regular doritos and it's just under 500 calories for 1/8 of a 9X13 pan. Not too bad! Now I know what I am making for dinner!

That is what I did! What good is setting a goal if you can't reach it or if you do reach it you are miserable? I have 1450 calories a day and 1 cheat day a week. Some days are still rough, like when my coworkers decide to bake cookies, but I can still eat what I want within reason and I am losing. I customized my calories…

When I said it wasn't the greatest in the world I meant for you not taste wise. It taste amazing!
