Well, THAT was embarrassing.
I knew my pants were too big. I knew I needed to wear a belt today. But I thought, "I just need to run to Wal-Mart real quick, I'm not going to mess with putting a belt on. They'll stay up fine." :indifferent: :indifferent: :indifferent: I was walking to the car, holding the baby on one hip and carrying the bags in my…

I can't believe...
That my baby is 1 year old today!!!! :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: He grew up so FAST. I was just talking with my husband yesterday about how we used to be able to carry him in one hand, and now it's a chore carrying him on your hip. Geez. I hope he slows down a little. :sad: :sad: :sad: I know he…

May I please have your attention...
Ahem... As of today, I, Mary (name withheld), can wrap a bath towel around herself (not a bath sheet, a bath towel), and NOT flash all her naughty bits to everyone in the house. It's been a long time coming, but it sure feels good. I think I'll wear just a towel all day. Maybe even to the store. Thank you. :bigsmile:…

Skinny Jeans
Does anyone have a pair of these? http://www.skinnyjeans.com/ Are they worth the investment? I'm thinking about after I lose all this weight. I just don't see 13 years of cellulite just going away...And my skin is so stretched out from pregnancy that this pooch may not go away either. So I was just wondering if these were…

My new motivation...
So this weekend was a free weekend for me. The hubby and I went on a long weekend, and ate WAY too much. But I promised myself that I wasn't going to obsess, and I didn't. I ate what I felt like eating when I felt like eating it, and it was kind of awesome. But it screwed with my motivation, because I was thinking, "Well,…

Do you lose one lb, two lbs, or...
I've been doing two lbs per week, but today, I'm REALLY hungry (that time of the month). I'm thinking of switching to 1 lb per week this week, and then switching back next week. Has anyone else done that before, or should I just stay constant at 2 lbs?

OT - Really strange emotion
So right before my husband and I got together, I was pseudo-dating another guy. We never really officially DATED, just had mutual attraction to each other, hung out all the time, etc. But anyway, my "best friend" at the time decided that she liked him too, and they subsequently started dating. My "best friend" and I were…

You know what?
I haven't really cheated since I've started. Even on my cheat days, I only go over by 500 calories. Today is my first wedding anniversary. I think I may actually cheat today. My hubby and I are going to grill steaks and have crab stuffed mushrooms, eat baked potatoes, and maybe steam some broccoli. For dessert, we're…

Realities for me now...
So I was thinking about high school and college today, and how different my life was when I was there. So here are my realities now... - I will never look like a supermodel. It just isn't in the cards. At the very best, I will have a figure like Marilyn Monroe like I did in high school (doesn't it suck that I didn't…

Okay, so I know this is a really long post, but it was floating around MySpace, and I thought it would be fun to hear about some childbirth and pregnancy stories. My husband and I are contemplating having another baby, and I'm kind of in baby mode. Please respond if you want to and fill it in with your info!!! Baby's Name?…

Secrets of a Former Fat Girl
Go. Buy it. The woman knows what she's talking about. It's like she went back in time to my childhood, watched me grow up, then wrote a book about it. It's incredibly motivating and funny. I know it's kind of weird, but I read this whole book yesterday and today I have an entirely new outlook on losing weight and being…

Need help with dessert recipe
My sister just invited me to a Memorial Day cookout, where (she informed me) there would be brats, chips, cheesy potatoes, pasta salad, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and basically everything that is bad for me. She asked me to bring a dessert. Does anybody have any good dessert recipes that I could make to kind of offset the…

Can you smell that?
I can. It's Ghirardelli Ultimate Fudge Brownies in the oven. Yikes. This ought to be an interesting fight with myself. :devil: "You can have one." :noway: "But if I have one, I'll want more!" :devil: "No, you won't. You can eat only one." :noway: "No I can't! They smell so good!" :devil: "Sure you can." :noway: "No, I…

New game
I know this website is about limiting our food and being healthier, but what about those people that don't get enough to eat? I always support charities that provide food to families that don't have enough. I have been on both sides. I have had food left over to give, and I have been on the receiving end. I just found this…

Driving vs. the bus
So gas prices went up to $3.99 here. I know we've had these threads before, but I'm just really really really irritated, because I think we're like, the one town that's big enough to have bus lines, but doesn't have any bus lines. If we did, I wouldn't have to pay @%$&*(#% $70 for a tank of gas. It's like, our town is big…

Oops...

Seriously, Paula Deen...
So I was watching Paula Deen (food porn) and she just called a hot chicken salad covered in mayonnaise, with a potato chip crust (get this) nice and light. Seriously, Paula Deen? If that's nice and light, I'll go ahead and make it for lunch tomorrow, I was wanting something really light and refreshing. Yikes.

OT - Love my Lovely Hubby
There aren't a lot of times when I'm really over the moon for my husband nowadays, but I just had a really huge moment. Excuse the long post. My husband and I have been painting his parents' new house for the past week. We go over there every day while my mother-in-law watches our son. Now, I'm pretty lax on what she does…

New Exercise DVD
I was at Wal-Mart yesterday buying groceries, and since the lines were long, I found myself looking through the $1 movies at the checkout while I was waiting. I found a DVD called 30 Minute Express Below The Belt with Michelle Rotell. So I put it in the cart (impulse buy). I thought I would do it today just so I could get…

Any homeschoolers out there?
I know it's a bit preemptive (our son is 10 months old), but my hubby and I are considering homeschooling him. I have a lot of interest in his education and, remembering my own schooling experience, feel like a homeschool environment would be the best for him. Does anybody on here homeschool, and did you like it? Have you…

I declare this weekend...
Junk food weekend! I have eaten nothing but crap since last night.

One month anniversary...
So I have been on here since April 13th, 2008 and I have lost 16 pounds. :smile: I just wanted to say that I could never ever go back to the way I was eating and living now that I've experienced what it is like to eat healthy. Thank you all so much for all of your support and help. I have struggled with my weight for my…

Question for all you mothers out there...
When did your kids start being afraid of everything? My son is 10 months old and he has just, in this past week, become afraid of cats, the tea kettle, being alone for more than thirty seconds, the stroller, the DVD player, my husband's shoes, his exersaucer, everyone he hasn't known for his entire life, and the list goes…
