I have kids of my own and used to work in a daycare. We had a little boy at the daycare that never crawled...he rolled everywhere.:laugh: He was walking and running just fine later. My best friends little girls (twins) didn't sit up on their own until they were close to 8 or 9 months. I wouldn't be concerned. Give it time…

I haven't seen the show, but one of my daughters daycare teachers said she and another teacher were trying the "500 Calorie Diet"! :noway: I flat out told her that was insane and completely unhealthy. I have tried to encourage her to join on here but so far no luck. She keeps looking for an easy way out and I keep telling…

I had just returned from Maternity Leave at work from having my 1st child. We were all gathered around the only tv in the office, which was a 6 inch black & white portable tv. I remember seeing the towers fall and thinking I couldn't be seeing it. We left work early that day and I went home to my 6 week old daughter and…

1) Fish Row - my dad used to scramble them in eggs for his breakfast, i couldn't stand the smell:sick: 2) Chittlerings - my mother in law has cooked them on occasion, gross food, gross smell! :noway:

it's funny you posted this today, i just read this article on MSN this morning about Fried Butter and the other concoctions they are coming up with at the state fair of Texas this year. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/32665106/ns/today-today_food_and_wine/?gt1=43001 a corn dog is adventurous as i have gotten. SOme of the…

These are all great ideas, and comments. Thanks! I agree it is much easier to stick with something you enjoy. Now I have some new inspiration and ideas to work with! Thanks everyone! :drinker:

Thanks! Hadn't thought of that one, I might have to try it! My kids are a handful, I wish I could say chasing them is cardio, but it doesn't count. :tongue:

One of the sales associates at the game store actually DISCOURAGED me from buying Jillian Michaels. I don't know about the others you mentioned, but he did say that everyone they have had in the store says Wii Fit is the best game they have for fitness out right now. Hope this helps!

You said it! I was watching from the eliptical machine at the gym. It is a wonderful thing!

You are an inspiration! :drinker: Count me in! :smile:

I am in Richmond!:smile:

Make a rule that you can only eat in the kitchen and stick to it. I used to eat at my desk at work all day. We moved to a new office and my boss made a rule that there was to be no food anywhere but in the kitchen. I can't be running back and forth to the kitchen every 5 minutes, so it really helped me cut down. Also maybe…

Ok, so I went to the doctor today. It's the first time I have been since I started this journey back in August. The nurse asked me to get on the scale so she could get my weight and height. She was pleasantly surprised that I was down 20+ pounds since a year ago. :drinker: :bigsmile: She turned me around and checked my…

That's too funny! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: No offense taken here! I know a few people that could use it! :tongue:

I had a horrible knot behind my ear that ached terribly. :sad: It hurt just to move my head. My doctor told me it was a lymph node and that you can have them anywhere in your body. She told me I was probably fighting an infection or virus, and that was why it was swollen. I didn't feel sick at that point, but sure enough…

OMG I thought I was the only one who did that! :tongue: I decided to try jogging, which I had previously avoided like the plague. I hop up on the treadmill and get into a rythm, when my hand catches the cord for my headphones and sends the ipod flying! I grab the cord as if it were a fishing line and try to real the ipod…

We are with a credit union as well. So much better than a bank! Plus in this day and age with everyone being bought out, that seems less likely to happen with a credit union.

You sound so much like I did yesterday. :frown: I was very frustrated that I had hit a plateau for the last month and was really trying to lose a total of 30 pounds by x-mas. I had resigned myself to deciding to just maintain and not worry about trying to lose through the holidays. I did ramp up the water I was drinking…

I, too, had the Eliptical problem. I pushed myself to do 10 minutes the first time I was on it. When I got off my legs were weak, but I had to walk down 3 steps at the gym to get to the exit. I almost fell down them! I know the trainers and other gym members were laughing. :laugh: :laugh: I can do about 45 minutes on a…

I am definitely guilty of some of these and am a scale addict. all I have to say is, have you seen how thick my glasses are?! They could easily add an extra couple of pounds! :laugh: Since my scale is digital, I do a best 2 out of three, since it changes by the second depending on how you wrinkle your nose! :bigsmile:

15lbs of burger, plus a cup of mayonaise etc., cheese?!! :noway: I can hear his arteries (not to mention the rest of his body) screaming from here! :sad: :sick: :sad: :sick:

My husband, our 2 daughters and I were in Sam's Club about a week ago. Their carts can accomodate 2 children in the front, so I had both my 7 year old and my 3 year old in the front of the cart. As I wash pushing it around the store, my 7 year old says "Mommy look out! I'm going to tickle your flappy arm skin!" :noway: I…

Welcome! This is a great sight. I am glad to see a few Virginians (I am in Richmond) out here, I was beginning to think I was one of the few! :smile: Good luck with your goal! This is a great resource and a great bunch of people! :flowerforyou:

I can sooooo relate to that! I actually missed out on a lot at a nearby theme park with my kids this summer because I refused to ride the rides. I was afraid I wouldn't fit. I rode one kiddie ride with my 3 year old. you lay on your stomach on the flying machine thing. You pull a lever and it is supposed to go up in the…

AMEN! :bigsmile: Thank you for reminding me that I am doing this for me and not as retaliation against the negative things in my life right now! I really needed this today! :drinker:

Hi, I have been on here for a couple of months, but I tend to be a bit shy, so I haven't posted anything yet. I have struggled with my weight all of my life. My husband has challenged my best friend and I to lose 15 pounds by October 11th (Challenge started back in mid-August). She found this website and it has been a true…
