Breastfeeding Mamas
How many calories are you consuming a day? Since my son is only 8 weeks old and exclusively breastfeeding, I have it set at 500 calories burned a day from nursing, which puts my daily caloric intake at 1700. I have been losing weight slowly, and I just want to make sure I am doing this right. I don't want to be maintaining…

Wish me luck...
with resisting temptation!! Today is my birthday, hubby is cooking up a surprise dinner tonite and bringing home a cake, I'm sure. And tomorrow night we are going out with friends to a steak house. I'm already fretting over calories, enough to make going out almost un-enjoyable. I've been doing pretty decently these past…

Just had a baby.
Hi all!! I am semi-new to this website. I used it quite frequently before I got pregnant! I was never very overweight by more than a few lbs, but I've never been completely happy with my body. At any rate, I just had a baby boy on November 18th. I'm in the clear for losing weight and working out. BUT, I am nursing my son…

Grocery shopping
Someone posted a question about grocery shopping budgets the other day, and it got me thinking. How much do YOU spend on groceries a week? Where do you normally shop for groceries? I try to keep my grocery spending to no more than $120 a week. Now, that also includes diapers and wipes every week, not just food. There are 4…

Deer meat?
My husband informed me that he is going to get us a 1/2 deer from a friend of his who hunts. I was wondering how to cook deer meat and what to make with it. I've had deer salami and deer jerkey, but I've never really cooked with it. Any suggestions? TIA:flowerforyou:

Question...
Maybe I have missed the thread for this, but I was just wondering. When I add crystal light packets to my water, I log it into my food diary. Can I ALSO add that to my water intake as well?

My husband ROCKS!
I've been BEGGING my hubby for the longest time for some kind of weight machine or a variety of nice free weights. Well, apparently, he got to thinking about it and he bought me a HUGE set up of free weights, ranging from 10lbs all the way up to 75lbs, a weight bench with the ab pad and leg curls and bicept curls attached,…

Did you make it?
So, did everyone make it thru Halloween ok? I for sure thought I was going to majorly go overboard with all that candy. I had a few pieces, but then I walked for almost 2hours with the kiddos and my hubby taking them trick- or- treating!!! That being said...my kids got some weird things last night, like highliters and…

The check-up.
For all of you who read my post about my daughter, thank you for you thoughts and prayers! I took her to her normal pediatrician today and he said she was looking fantastic! She hasn't had any problems (knock on wood), and he was happy with with her shape in general! He said as long as we protect her little head, that we…

Life has been rough this past week.
My girls were outside playing on Sunday night, and Becca (4) was just standing there, pushing the glider swing back and forth, and Alli (1) walked right into it as she was swinging it. She made a cry and fell down. I waited for her to stand up, but she didn't, so I went and grabbed her. Her mouth opened in this sick sort…

What to do??
You know when those "once-in-a-lifetimes" come along? Well, I finally got mine and I'm not sure whether to take it and run or say "no thanks." My husband and I were married a little young, we have 2 children, and we will be celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary in January. We have never had a honeymoon, and we haven't…
