Hey-- did you ladies know???
Cheapo hair conditioner makes a LOVELY leg shaving gel? I was talking to the pharmacist the other day while picking up my daughter's insulin, and she said that she buys the cheapo kinds-- White Rain, Suave, VO5, et cetera-- and uses it as her shave gel. Lo and behold-- I tried it, and it's so much nicer than soap, and not…

KIDS--
Okay-- what's the funniest thing YOUR kids ever said about your weight? Years ago, pregnant with my 4th child in 1995, my 4 year old, David, at the time saw a commercial for Slim-Fast. "Mom, there's this drink you can buy that has a lot of vitamins and makes people skinny." I explained to him that the product does help…

I actually kicked back tonight--
Woo hoooo-- hubby and I decided to take the night off work (we'll pay for it tomorrow-- but, oh, well-- ) and we sat and watched one of our all-time favorite movies "Absence of Malice" with our older kids. Paul Newman was so dreamy-- can't believe he's gone, and how flippin' old I am! I was a junior in high school when…

Just wanted to say good morning to everyone and wish you all a lovely day. It is absolutely glorious here in New Jersey-- cool, crisp, lovely autumn day. Kids are outside with Daddy burning wood and brush, filling the yard with the most glorious smell-- how can one not be cheered on such a day? Blessings to you all--…

Woo hoo-- 170's-- wooooooooooooooo!!
omigosh-- FINALLY-- when I began the Shred challenge early September, I gained 2 pounds-- I was freaking out. Watching the calories faithfully, exercising faithfully, up two pounds-- wth? Then, I went away for a week, and came back up 3 more-- bloated beyond belief, feeling miserable, but still eating well-- waiting--…

1993--
-- I believe is the last time I saw a scale reading as low as now. I weighed in this morning at 180.5, (but won't log anything until Friday-- ) After the birth of my 3rd child, when I still had some time and some self control, I worked hard to take off some baby weight and got even as low as 175 before I got pregnant with…

I did it-- I did it-- I did it--
But, not without the invaluable aid of Shorerider-- who patiently, and (finally) successfully taught me how to post a picture in my posts-- yayy-- And now, without further adieu, I'd like to introduce my family-- the gentleman in the middle is an old, dear friend who was our best man-- 20 years ago-- and who has known my…

U.S. JUNIOR RYDER CUP
Pardon a wee bit of braggin' on my little girl-- she was part of the recent U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team that competed in Bowling Green, Kentucky. She and her team beat the European Junior team 22-2, a margin of victory that "they" say will never be realized again. PGA officials told us our American team became a part of…

I HATE SCHOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!
:mad: :mad: :mad: Okay, this is why I homeschool.....schools and school districts come up with the most ridiculous "rules." My oldest has been in public high school, then homeschooled last year, and went back this year for his senior year. In between, we moved to a new home within the same township. Three weeks into the…

OKAY, I FEEL BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm dirt poor, hubby's out of work, I'm dealing with a school system I don't want to have to deal with-- I'm working harder than I ever thought I was able, to make ends meet-- and am failing-- BUT-- I lost the 3 pounds I gained while away last week. So, life is good. :laugh:

What do you all know about the--
"stress hormone?" I'm searching my memory banks and seem to remember "cortisol" or something, which is known as the stress hormone. My memory says it is released in larger doses during stress, and is responsible for "belly fat." Before I embarked on this weight journey, my belly fat had simply gotten unbearable. Yes, I've…

Two things, ladies--
Gentleman, this is a-- ahem-- feminine discussion about to commence, no offense intended-- First-- woot, woot-- weigh in today, and although it is "that time" I have not registered any weight gain. Translation, when all is said and done and my time is over, I will have actually realized a weight loss, I do believe-- so,…

no BACON!!
Woo hooooo-- I just fried two pounds of bacon for my kids, (a treat for them, believe me, not even close to a "staple" around here) and I made it through without even snitchin' a piece!! I read in someone's thread recently how many calories in one slice and it's sooooooooo not worth it.

Midnight Snacks??
All right-- on the rare, but yummy, occasions you all may have a midnight snack or in this case a post-midnight snack-- where do you log the calories? On yesterday's probably putting you over your allotment, or on today's and basically start with a deficit? I usually do the latter, but today I'm so stinkin' hungry I'm…

Erma Bombeck-- dieting humor
A little dieting humor… Diet Totals 758-Pound Loss I have dieted continuously for the last two decades and lost a total of 758 pounds. By all calculations, I should be hanging from a charm bracelet. I have done a lot of kidding around with Weight Watchers, but it is the only organization in which I ever lost a great deal…

tummy help?
Okay-- here's the problem-- after nine babies, nearly two years sedentary (believe it or not) with a home typing job, the middle aged spread has hit. My tummy muscles are so weak I can't even get off the floor when I do crunches. I barely feel them when I'm working them, and NEVER have the burn and pain the next day like…
