DO IT! I have never for a moment regretted letting my uterus fall out! Oh - but do wait until you are done having children. Otherwise you might regret it. Everyone's different.

I use Runkeeper.

It is generally found in the freezer section of the grocery store. I love their 7 grain bread, but it has been ages since I had any. Keeping it in the freezer works best! I've never had trouble taking out a slice at a time.

Congratulations on your graduation, M00nflwr. That is quite an accomplishment!

Drive safely! I'm glad you had a nice birthday week.

You really can't gain 4 pounds in one week, so it's just water from returning to exercise and possibly sodium/time of day you weighed. If your measurements have gone down, you are definitely losing. You are accomplishing what you are working for. You can do this!

It's easy enough to make 2-3 veggies as side dishes, and he can choose to try some or not. You can eat more veggies and less of the main dish and other sides, and both will get what you want.

Water -- 12 cups Under calorie goal -- yes Walking Challenge: 5.5 Burned 568 Minutes 155 I had to break the exercises down into smaller sets to get them done! I grew up doing burpees, but there was no push-up in them. Since I've done them, I didn't google, so hadn't seen…

Another thing - heat will make them itch worse, and cold eases the itch. A big towel, slightly moistened and stuck in the freezer can be my best friend when allergy season is at its height and I'm reacting to everything around. I'll pull that out and put it in a pillow case and lean back on it - my entire back gets cooled…

I am very prone to getting hives. It stinks! I've found that bathing in salt water is my relief - I'm not sure if the salt would counteract the water problem for you or not, since even sweating does it to you, but it might be worth a shot. Though.....I tend to fear the possibilities, after awhile! I refuse to ever try any…

The Swiss Family Robinson. Or even one of them, they're all survival geniuses.

I was too late to edit - I can google exercises! No problem. I guess I made a spelling mistake so that I'd be allowed to edit *this* post! :laugh:

This is silly, I know, but my ONLY real worry about doing the calorie.......fluctuations.......is how to log it and not look like I'm under calories one day and over the next. I want to always be under! Just because it looks better on paper and I can say "yes I was under calories" when I check in here. :laugh: I have…

I caught up on Weds. and Thurs. challenges today - had the Thurs. walk in already. Now if it would just quit raining so I could go outside, I'd get more miles in! I still have to do the Fri/Sat challenges.....but I need to rest. WHEW those are hard work! (Especially when I don't keep up daily....:laugh: The windshield…

Yes, it can happen! I had multiple cesareans plus a couple of other abdominal surgeries in my 20s and had a flat stomach all through my 30s. I'm working to get that back now, and even though I'm closing in on 50, I think I can do it. I definitely have the pouch again, but there is FAT in there - I'll work the fat off.

I'd never had nutella before tonight, but saw this today and went grocery shopping. It was on sale! I bought a jar and it is FABulous! I'll have to buy some more when I run out.

Teresa, it's my Thursday yellow line that is messed up, and then the subtotal and totals are also messed up.
