    Son wants to lose weight, but....

    I also have a son who is husky. He is five and 70 lbs but he is very tall. He looks like he is much older. I know he is sensitive and will have a hard time with teasing if it comes. I agree with all the other posts here. I just wanted to chime in and say it is really great to hear of other...

    Pamper yourself for a day.

    My DH bought me a day at the spa... Heaven! I didn't want to go home to kids at the end of the day I was so relaxed. My absolute favorite was the facial. The Aveda spa here takes 1 1/2 hrs for it. She put all kinds of creams on my face but the best was the facial massage and then while my...

    Cardio or weights when not feeling well?

    I lift lighter weights and do more reps. The cardio gets my stomach more upset if it's the flu and if it's a cold I can't breath right. I also recommend the walk, it feels like you got exercise but you aren't completely wiped out afterward. Hope you feel better soon! Vicky

    Hey Everyone - Marsha I am impressed, 9.9 lbs! Way to go girl! Carla - I have been thinking of trying popcorn for a cheat meal. I am afraid of the water retention though. I know the next day my pants won't fit. It doesn't seem so bad though because the light popcorn I buy is only 250...

    BFFM - week of October 24

    Hi everyone, I am reading all of your calorie counts for the day and I am thinking I have mine too high. I shoot for 1800 or less a day and I really have only been loosing about .2 lbs a week on average so I guess that means I need to refigure my counts. Yesterday was a rest day due to...

    BFFM - week of October 24

    Hi everyone! I had a good week last week, stayed on track with exercise and only a few treats instead of the whole jar! I didn't loose anything or gain but it was TTOM. I have slacked off on weighing and measuring food a little so this week I am going to pay attention. My weight loss has...

    DH Thinks We're Crazy!

    My DH did the same thing as luvtorun's. He watched me doing IMAX3 and at the end he said "I wasn't sure if you were gonna make it? I thought I was going to have to call 911." I guess I must have looked a little winded:7 Vicky
