5'5" 165 lb ladies, what size do you wear?
Now that I've had 5 babies, I find that my body shape has changed. Whereas years ago when I weighed 165 I wore a size Large shirt and size 13 pants (I was in the junior department then), now I find I need an XL shirt and size 14 pants.

How to keep socks from bunching under my foot?
I've tried a lot of different kinds of socks, and always, on my left foot only, they bunch up or fold or something under the ball of my foot and feel terrible. Is it the socks? Is it my foot? How do I figure this out?

Disneyland on a diet?
I am going to Disneyland next week, and I don't want to blow my healthier eating habits. Obviously I'll be doing a lot of walking, which will help, but I want to make as many healthy eating choices as I can.

Tuesday my daughter was induced with her 2nd child, and she's 2 states away, so I couldn't be near her. The suspense was killing me! And I wanted to eat.

How do I figure out how fast I am walking?
I hope I am logging my exercise correctly - I have no idea how fast I am walking, so I figure out how far I've walked using www.walkjogrun.net and time myself. If I walk a mile in 20 minutes, I assume I am walking at 3 mph. Is that the best way of going about it? I don't want to over-estimate, or under-estimate either.

Down 77 lbs since January!
I started January 10, 2011, wanting to lose weight for my daughter's wedding in April. The thought of facing all those cameras weighing 255 was sooo intimidating, and there was an outfit I wanted to wear. I didn't quite make the outfit, but somewhere along the line my goal changed and morphed into wanting to lose for me. I…

I can wear my wedding rings!!!
I hadn't been able to since my 2nd pregnancy, and that child will be 25 next month. So they're practically brand new :) Fortunately I still like them. I'm so pleased! I've still got a ways to go, but having that NSV is so encouraging.

How do I stretch the backs of my thighs out?
I woke up with a terrible muscle cramp in the back of my thigh at 2 a.m. A friend suggested stretching before bed, but I don't know how to stretch that area. I could use some advice.
