I don't purchase them unless they are under $2... But I do eat them pretty often.. sometimes you have to watch because they are high and sodium.. But they are pretty yummy!

I wanted to be a 911 Dispatcher from the time I was in 7th Grade.. Got out of high school .. went to 1 yr community college. quit and bacame a 911 dispatcher 

I have been here 11 and a half years.. I love what I do, I love the adrenaline. 

BUT!!!

 When I grow up I want to be an RN/ Lactation Consultant/ OB post partum. I will eventually go back to school and do that.. but the economy sucks, and my job is very secure.. my husband's is not!

OMG!!! You just totally described my life!!!   Except my father-in-law passed away 9 years ago!! And this is still going on.. IT IS A NIGHTMARE!!

She continually tries to put a wedge between me and my husband, and successfully I might add.. We divorced 6 years ago and remarried. 

She IS mentally ill and is certifiable!!!! After he passed away, she went and got on disability with a mental disability.. which pisses me off because she was able to work.. people die, it is sad, you move on...

Like you my husband is 1 of 3 children and the other two are complete losers, they do nothing for her..

She has financial issues, meaning she buys stupid **** and doesn't pay her bills, then calls us and wants money.. and up till about 2 years ago we shelled out money weekly to her. 

We paid her property taxes, and penalties to the tune of $5,000... two different times. Miraculously, every year when we get our tax return she can't pay her house payment and wants money.. Finally, after alot of my bitching my husband put his foot down, and we haven't given her a penny... BUT... taxes are due July 15, lol we will see how that goes. 

She calls us, house phone, cell phone, and work no less than 15 times aday!!! EVERY DAY !!!

Sorry to hi jack your post.... you said we could rant..

I wish I could say it will get better but for me it hasn't.

I have to couisins with CF Empty Calories, are calories.. My couisin's are kids 6 and 8 and their DR's don't care what they eat... as long as they eat.. Anything.

Sarah the youngest eats butter right out of the tub per/dr's request

CF has no cure, and really no other diets to gain other than eat whatever you want, special diets are no better, the body just doesn't absorb.

Good Luck, My prayers are with your couisin

I would go to the ER.. It could be gas... but just go get it checked out, maybe an ultra sound. to see what the deal is.. I actually contracted from 17 weeks on with one of my pregnancies.. It was quite a pain in the ass. But kids are so worth it.. Take care of yourself.

I am just eating a well balanced diet with a calorie deficit of about 500-700, I do work out videos, and run.

I have to eat a little often... I am severly hypoglycemic so it feels like I have to eat all the time to keep my sugar up.  But I am learning to cope with that.

all you need is 3 lb weights and a matt if you are working out on a hard surface.  the 20 lbs in 30 days, is if you do it 7 days a week and follow a strict diet.

 

good luck!

Hi! Can I join you? I just purchased my first bikini in ten years.  And I will admit I am still afraid to wear it in public. (I have nasty stretch marks, I went from 140 to 205 with my first pregnancy)

I am 30 years old

5'5'' 133 lbs

I am just trying to lose about 10 lbs or whatever I can get to and be happy.  I want to feel confident in my bikini.

I have seriously reshaped by body since last August, and just want to maintain.

I had mine out @ 21 or 22, it is a pretty rough ordeal.  I agree with keeping your throat moist, and staying away from creamy things, I ate clear broths, and drank sprite... I gound out I was pregnant 4 days post op so I went without anything more than regular tylenol for pain, I was on demeral by iv when I found out ,.. I had to take my iv out myself. It was a pain pump, and on  a Sunday. I didn't gain or lose any weight, but with me being pregnany I forced myself to eat.  Also just take it easy and don't try to over do it the 1st week. Rest and drink and take care of yourself, dont worry about calories

Good Luck!

I am (was) a lifetime member of weight watchers.... I had used it after all of my children to lose weight.  I loved it, it was a great plan at the time.  However, after time I slowly gained weight back, I believe it was due to no exercise, I don't believe ww focus enough on exercise. 

I also hit a major plateua @ 150 I couldn't lose any more.  I found cc and base everything now on cals eaten vs cals burned I am currently down to 131 and am hoping to go even lower.  (as long as I can do it healthily) 

So the base line for me is on ww I was starving, I was in starvation mode, and couldn't lose anymore.  On cc I broke the plateau and am in awesome shape, I work out, feel good and eat HEALTHY!

I hope this is helpful
