That is usually when I drink mine due to the fact that I have to workout pretty late in the evenings.

I took Zija for a short while. Short for a reason. First, I drank the XM and if I didn't drink it one day I had migraines. Switched to just the Smart Mix and didn't feel any better than I normally do. I spend less money making one fresh juice every day from organic fruit and veggies and feel far better than Zija ever made…

I really loved reading what all of you are going through. I have never been diagnosed with OCD. As an adult I started seeing a counselor for postpartum depression, but she never focused on the OCD issues. The depression is much better and some of my tendencies have gotten a little better as well. Alphabetizing is a big one…

You can't really know the answer to this thought unless you walk up to them and ask. I really do feel it is mostly in our heads. I also feel judged by people thinner than me when I am at the gym, but I know that is a character flaw within myself. It has nothing to do with what they really think about you because when I see…

Just bumping so I can see what everyone says. There are also stability balls with wheels on them. Considering getting one.

Ahh, not sure why I assumed you lived together. I hope that she knows your words are genuine and not hurtful. That is very important. If she ever decides to join mfp tell her to add me. Support is what this place is all about. :)

I don't know how to help her get motivated. It sounds like she has heard all this advice a thousand times over all her life. Show her the way; prepare meals that are nutritious and delicious. Ask her to go on walks. Make protein shakes. Anything you can think of. As for the other part, 1200 + weight training is WAY too…

I was taking I-STEP my Sophomore year of high school, so we weren't even allowed to watch the coverage except on breaks. Pretty hard day to take tests all day.

Ok, I was always forgetting to weigh-in on Sunday in July so my weigh in days will probably be somewhat random.

My husband works 3rd shift, when he comes home in the morning he hates that I have the blanckets untucked from the bottom of the bed. I cacoon myself in the blankets so out they must come!

I keep my house acceptably clean... except for my half of the bedroom, and my husband just can't grasp why. I can't grasp why. At night I just like to take my clothes off and get in bed. And they stay for a few days...a week....until I need clean clothes? My nightstand is also a nightmare. I hate the way he unloads the…

I don't know what SuperCork means, but I like it. 9

I usually don't worry about my sugar too much. I try to keep it as low as possible and at the end of the day I see what it would be without fruit. Yes, fruit is sugar, but it is much healthier than all the awful stuff they put in other foods. If I am under after I subtract the fruit I am a happy girl. That is just me…

As thos is my current predicament I decided against Zumba this morning as I do not feel like being in a cramped room with 20 other women, but I will exercise at home when my daughter is napping. It helps me feel better.

I just rented The Primal Blueprint from the library! I am so excited to start reading it tonight. :D

[/quote] AWESOME, thank you!! I think my biggest problem is going to be that i'm so used to the added flavor that processed foods have- that i'm going to be struggling with things being too bland. If that makes sense. [/quote] This will only last for a short while. You will begin to love and appreciate the taste of clean…

Hi to all the SAH mommas out there! I am one myself. I have an almost 20 month old little girl. Feel free to add me. :)

I usually weigh at least once a day. First thing in the morning with no clothes. Sometimes if I remember I weigh myself before bed to see the difference a day makes and to see what my body does while I am sleeping.

This made me smile. :) The Princess Bride will always have a space in my heart.

Do I think a wedding gift opening party is strange and unnecessary? Yes. Do I think you should attend? Yes, you are in the bridal party and while I feel your pain I think it is your duty as a bridesmaid to be there.

I am quite late to join in, but what the hey I think it will help as my exercise has been slacking lately. 7/9: 30 min walk pushing my daughter 7/10: 60 min Zumba 7/11: FLU :sick:

I think I have found a solution that will work for me. I am going to have a private food journal until I get my eating back under control.

Thank you ladies. And Amy, I do take a multi-vitamin among others. I have started to feel better since taking them. I am just going to stop making excuses. I want this weight gone and I know what I have to do in order for that to happen!

I don't even know you and I shed one lonely tear. Your story hit home for me, so thank you for sharing.

The thing that made me stop is my first manicure. I didn't get fake nails, but having my hands pampered like that I think made me want to keep them nice.

I struggle with motivation daily. I try to tell myself that no normal person wants to do something, they do it because that is what needs to be done. Simple as that, if you need/want something to be done you will do it. No matter how much you resist, you will do it.

Keep saying positive things, but do not make her feel pressured. Also, try incorporating her into your "calories burned". Teach her what you are learning and she may be more apt once it all doesn't seem so foreign to her.
