Good morning! TGIF! How are you all doing? Has everyone had a good week? I didn't step on the scale this morning. I know I didn't lose weight this week. I can just tell. I've been letting my hormonal issues get to me. I will do better...I will! Yesterday I took the day off other than doing push ups. I was just not feeling…

I have to come up with a grocery list this morning and go to the store. I have no idea what to get. I'm going to try to eat better, although after…

Happy birthday Karen! I hope you have a good one! I am happy this morning! I lost another 1.5 pounds this week! I'm still 5 pounds away from what I was in early November though. But I have lost 7 pounds in a month! I know most of that was baby fat in the first few weeks and that's why it's coming off so fast. I guess…

OT-Autism Question for mommies
Or friend's of autistic mommies...or whoever might have an answer. One year ago (this month) Alex was diagnosed with Autism and neurosensory disorders. He was severe last February, but now he is mild to moderate. He's 3 now. All his therapists and friends of ours have told us that he would be better, almost "normal" in a…

Hello, Pebbles! I hope you all woke up in a good mood and started the day off right! I have a question: would you count sorting through boxes of clothes and toys as light cleaning?

Good morning, group! Today is a new day and a fresh start for me. I am not going to be hitting it full force today but I am making some changes. As much as I don't logging food I am going to start that again today. I gained 8 pounds since Thanksgiving. I am hoping some of that is bloating and stuff which will come off in…

Cheddar's restaurant
Hey, we're going to Cheddar's for dinner tonight. I looked at the website and most everything looks fattening/high calorie, except maybe a grilled chicken salad. Just wondering if anyone else eats there and what you get. Thanks! MM
