Multiple Cs....I was naturally thin and got rid of it after each baby, but the weight gain in my 40s brought it right back! It's harder to get rid of this time, but it is definitely shrinking.

Lotions dry me out horribly. On the other hand, a soak in salt water daily will make my skin sooo nice and soft. My body is one that adjusts to the demands. If the "oil" (lotion) comes from an external source, my skin refuses to produce its own oil. If I'm drying my skin w/salt water, my oil production steps right up.

I've been watching in horror. You are all in my prayers. Belle, do you have someplace to go? I know you just moved there, and other than your brother, your family is out east. :(

Charting weight and measurements would be a good idea. For some dumb reason I didn't measure myself at the start of this challenge, so with not losing weight, I don't know for sure that I "accomplished" anything other than not gaining weight! This plateau is a pain! But - I know I am stronger and have increased my…

Rose essential oil - just one drop, diluted in water and spritzed on. I am horribly allergic to perfumes, but the real deal is very delicate and doesn't offend my skin or my lungs. And the scent is heavenly!

I'm sorry about your internet going out twice! Ugh!!! It's worse when it was done by people lol. If the storm did it, it's a bit easier to overlook. Or maybe that is just me lol. I'm glad you're on for now, though!

I'm 5'2.5" and have been in the healthy range but still wanting to lose another 10 for MONTHS. I switched to zig zagging my calories a few weeks back, gained a pound after two weeks, then lost it after 2-3 weeks more, and here I sit again at this plateau. I'm almost done with a group challenge and definitely need to stay…

I am among ya'll insomniacs. My "type" varies. Some nights I lie awake for hours before getting to sleep - IF ever getting to sleep. Some nights I go to sleep okay, but wake up 25 times. Other nights I go to sleep, get a short nap, and am awake the rest of the night. Every great once in awhile I will go to bed and sleep,…

This. 4 pounds in 3 weeks is a very good loss. You can be respectful and still require respectfulness from others - even your mom. Let her know that she must be respectful and supportive, or the entire topic will be off limits to her. Say it and walk away, so there is not the slightest hint that she can negotiate the rule.…

Swimming 3 miles in one day is quite an accomplishment, Katacheese! Way to go!

The only week I see is week 7, but I'd love to switch it up. I wasn't smart enough to copy any of the previous weeks' lists when they were up - they would have been good references for when I want a quick but good workout at a later date! Do you have any of them? Or any other ideas? Maybe we can all team up to take some…
