Fage 0% is my new best friend. I was a sour cream addict, and I have replaced sour cream with Fage. I mix a big container of Fage with a package of Hidden Valley dip mix, and it is so good with carrots, green peppers, cukes, etc. I can't even tell the difference. I think when my folks come out to visit, I am going to try…

Army wife here as well. My husband is currently in Afghanistan, so I need all the friends I can get. This is an awesome site for encouragement and accountability! Welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like! :flowerforyou:

Katie~this is how I make a denim quilt. Cut the 'fabric' off the jeans, so all you have is jean material, no seams, etc. Sometimes you can use pockets, if they are small enough, though. I cut 3 sizes of squares, 4 x 4, 4 x 7, and 7 x 7 (all in inches). The 4 by 4's get sewn into a 4 square patch, the long sides of 2 4 by…

I think you should be okay with putting muffin batter into a loaf pan, just need to bump up the time in the oven. I know my banana bread has to bake for at least an hour. So I would check it after 45 minutes or so. Hope it comes out okay!

I am so excited!! This is the first season where I can watch it ON TV! Before I had to watch it online (a week late) and then I had to deal with not getting local channels with my cable company. When I had to watch it online, I always had to be careful which treadmill I picked at the gym, because they used to have the…

Blue, I can't remember if I have told you this or not, but your profile picture is gorgeous! You look MAH-velous, dah-ling! :smile: My name is Sarah Anne, and I'm almost 30 (yikes). For now, I live in Georgia, near Fort Benning, as I am an Army wife and follow The Man from post to post. We have 2 daughters, 4 and 2, and…

Sounds like EVERYONE is leaving! Amanda and Christi~ you guys are definitely in my prayers, along with your respective hubbys! I just spent over $300 at Sam's Club (ouch) on shampoo, baby wipes, deoderant, razors, shaving cream, etc, for The Man to put in the container that's getting shipped over this month. He doesn't…

Welcome to all of our newcomers! Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas, and is looking forward to a Happy New Year! And maybe a little less stress now that the holidays are winding down! :smile: That's why I haven't been here for so long, just so much to do, and so little time. Kimmie~ I can TOTALLY understand how…

My 4 year old daughter watches "Biggest Loser" with me (I've got it on the DVR), and this whole season she's been saying, "Go Ada, GO!!" It's so cute. Go, Ada, GO!!

Mama~I hear you about the Christmas parties...thankfully I only have a few this year! But I stay busy anyway. KatieM~good luck…

Nicole, I know what you mean about not wanting to get on the scale! I don't think I'm going to get on the scale for another week or so, after I've had a chance to burn off all my Thanksgiving calories! Curlie~I hope the cortizone shot works better for you this time!:flowerforyou: Katie, are you doing the Master Cleanse…

Good morning, y'all! I haven't been around lately, we had an 'Internet blackout' at my house for 5 days last week. Serves me right for switching providers and trying to save some money! But I am NOT paying $55 a month for Internet...seriously, that is how much my old provider was going to charge me. Forget it! Today is…

Good morning, ladies! This week has been so incredibly busy for me, and it's not even over yet! After 2 trips to the bank, I am now officially the new Family Readiness Group Treasurer. Go me! I'm really excited about this, as it will give me an opportunity to get out of the house a little bit, make some new friends, help…

Happy Halloween, everyone!! Valmabel, I guess you need to recover from all that running! You go, girl! Your daughters costumes sound absolutely lovely! KatieM~love your new pic! I trust you had a good time last night? We had our trick or treating last night too (on the base, I think the city has it tonight, but I'm not…

LOL~ my mom lives way out in the sticks, and she was shocked last week to see a group of people running by her house, and they continued to do it on a regular basis! She went out one day and asked them what they were running from...they were doing the C25K.:laugh: Pines~absolutely have a sit-down with your hubby, maybe…

What killed me was the 'tuba following a fat guy' music whenever it told me "that's obese" or "that's overweight". WiiFit girl, I hate you. Just think about how happy your Mii will be though, when you are 'normal'!

Good morning, ladies, and a very big WELCOME to all our newcomers! It's great to have you here! Bluerose~did I hear you say 'apartment'? Did you move out of your MIL's place? If so, that's fantastic!! I hope she has been treating you a little better. You have honestly been in my thoughts a lot. I used to live with my MIL…
-
Abbra~belated welcome to you! This is a wonderful group, because we do talk about the struggles and triumphs in our day-to-day lives that have nothing to do with weight loss. Sometimes that's something only other SAHMs can understand. And you guys don't mind so much when I babble...:smile: KatieM~that's great that you are…
-
:smile: Welcome pines and lettuce!! Pines, I don't have any new advice for you, other than what others ladies have been offering. Trying to coordinate with the hubby would be a great idea! Amy~don't float away with all that water you drank! That's great that you are logging your food, that is what really opens your eyes to…
-
Thanks for the support, you guys!:flowerforyou: The Man and I sat down and talked and we are on the same page with saving money, and now he knows how I feel about buying his mom a house at this time in our lives. Also, it probably wouldn't be a super time for her either, as she is the primary child care for her grandsons…
-
Good morning, ladies~! I haven't been on MFP for quite a while, as things have been very hectic around this place. I apologize in advance for the long post, but here's what's been going on... The Man came home several weeks ago and informed me that his unit has come down on orders for deployment to the 'Stan. This is…
-
Blue~maybe she is embarassed and wants to forget about it? It's wonderful to hear that your hubby was fighting on your team though, go hubby! You are definitely going to be in my prayers. I have lived with the in-laws before too, so I know how difficult it can be. And yay for you going out to the club! That's awesome!…
-
Good afternoon, ladies! Sounds like you all have been keeping pretty darn busy, especially YOU, Jenny! Dang, that is a lot to do...:smile: Katie~I think The Man is going to pick up Power 90 X for himself, and me, too. I am kind of nervous, as from the infomercials, it seems SUPER hardcore...I am not as in shape as I think…
-
Hey, y'all! Welcome to all newcomers! :flowerforyou: Nicole, BOOO for being sick! I am just almost over "the crud" and really need to get back to working out. But if you push yourself too hard, you won't get better. I didn't do much all weekend, even to the point of making The Man get off his computer and discipline the…
-
Good afternoon, y'all! I have such good news for you, I am 0.1 pound away from being a 'normal' BMI!:drinker: Even with the 2 oatmeal cranraisin cookies I ate yesterday...I packed up the rest, along with the orange-almond biscotti, and shipped it off to South Korea. And I made my next mini-goal, so after payday I'm going…

Welcome to the group, Carrie! I think that's so sweet that you are going to get married in a courthouse and then have a big wedding and reception later. That's what The Man and I did, only instead of the courthouse, the justice of the peace was at the detention center....so we got married at the jail. (Insert your own…
-
Nicole~woo-firewood! Just console yourself with thinking about how good of an arm workout you are getting! :tongue: I gotta tell you, the voice lesson sounds like more fun. Just sayin'. Katie~ hope you get done making the salsa today! Sorry to hear about the bedtime issues with the 3 year old. I am just now getting a…
-
Stacey~ have you ever had pita chips and hummus? It's very tasty, fills you up, and is not very calorie-laden! Katie~ TOM is being a jerk to me, and to compensate, I ate 2 cupcakes today. :mad: Hope you get lots of canning done! I wish I could can, but we moved too late to get a garden going this year. Perhaps next year…

Hey, Nicole! Hobby Lobby is the BEST craft store EVER. They have them all over the country, maybe one is even close to you! At our last duty station, the closest Hobby Lobby was over 2 hours away, but now I have one just down the road. www.hobbylobby.com has a store locator, I'm sure. I got all the pieces cut for the baby…

Hey, y'all! OMG, Nicole, that is so awesome on the 10K! Go you! Good luck getting stuff done today...I know for me some days are better than others. Today I did GREAT. Went to the gym, the PX, the commissary, cleaned bathrooms, swept, vacuumed, made a lasagna, prepped cookie dough for Older Daughter's Birthday tomorrow,…
