Just count them somewhere -it's up to you which day. At the end of the week, you will have eaten what you've eaten and burned what you've burned.

I despise twitter. You get followers by inviting them or by following others. But I really do not need to know every time my friends go get coffee or run to the bathroom.....

Sorry, Pundas! I didn't see Teresa's week 9 post until late last night, well after I'd posted one.....and her profile said she hadn't logged in for 3 days. I'm not sure how she did that LOL....but I think maybe it I was blind and confused all at once??

Some people just don't read before responding. Ignore them. :)

As far as increasing calories goes, I would take it slow, like adding 50 calories each week or even every two weeks. That way your body has time to adjust to a small increase, but you are going in the right direction without overwhelming any of your systems - including your emotions and fears. After you are up to around…

I was pregnant with my second child at 23. My parents were very angry with me, and I was married. They'll get over it and love their grandchild, and remember how much they love you. ( But if they don't, it's best to keep them out of the child's life. ) We struggled. My husband was very immature and selfish. I ended up a…

I'd set most of it aside each month, c ontinuing to live as frugally as possible, until I could pay cash to have a house in the country built. Once that was done, I'd continue to save, but ease up a bit on the frugality. :laugh: I'm generous even when "cheap" with myself, so would be able to give more, and set more aside…
