dont forget that date of conception isn't the day you actually had Sex..me for instance, last period fri feb 6th, unprotected sex fri feb 13th, spotted on fri, feb 20th...I felt symptoms almost immediately, perhaps because Ive been pregnant before.  So your dates could line up just right.  on day 30 of my cycle now, still with no period..and all the symptoms.

I think it should be up to the mother to be if she wants to allow cameras of any sort in the delivery room.  I think that if there is complications, then the doctor could ask for the camera to be put away but a routine delivery should permit cameras.  I live in Ontario Canada, and while giving birth to my son  July 2006 no one, not even the delivery doctor said anything about my husband taking pictures, and my mom took pictures of my husband cutting the umbilical cord.

I trust my 6 month old English Springer Spaniel with my 2 year 9 month old son.  But when my son was first born we had a pit bull, and a staffordshire terrier cross.  I would NOT trust them even when we were around.  Now my staffy cross lives with my parents, and my pitty was put down for Killing our cat.  I swore that my pitbull was the gentle oaffish giant..but he got too rough with the cat and broke its neck..  I myself have been bitten by 2 dogs, My friends German Shepard grabbed my wrist while walking by..it left a large puncture hole..when I was little and sliding at a friends house, her mutt dog bit my arm (left a scar on my bicept) Any dog can bite!

Yesterday I figured something out tho, throwing some kicks and punches at the t.v while watching All my Children...I really laid the boots to Erica Kane LMAO.

Hey

 maybe try googling Marena IUD, I know you can keep it in for 5 years or less.  Its supposed to make your periods lighter..it may be worth looking up for yourself.

Original Post by topeze:

And if you don't like public, that's fine, what about some DVDs?  If you have digital cable, a lot of times there are videos on demand for exercising.

 OMG I am just thrilled you mentioned the fitness on VOD on digital cable.. I checked mine right after I read that and sure enough there is 25 fitness videos available. thank you so much for mentioning that or I would never know.

some of the things people post..like the 1 cookie binge, makes me think that someone is possibly using this sight for UNHEALTHY reasons... 700 cals seems kind of anorexic to me.... I think that eating disorders should be discouraged from this site of people who are over weight and need support to maintain a HEALTHY lifestyle.

try eating special K satisfaction in the mornings, you get 1 1/4 of cereal and 1/2 cup 1% milk at 250 calories.  I find it very filling and well satisfying.

I believe that you need more calories for the amount of energy you plan to put forth..1200 cal is the absolute minimum a woman should go...and thats only if you are sedentary and do not plan on exercising.  Chances are, you may put your body into starvation mode, and then everything you put in your body, it will store as fat in fear that it will not have the proper amount of calories for the amount extended.  chances are you will hit a wall, and get really burnt out, which is usually discouraging.   I would do some research on it to find the proper intake you need.

I am self concious about anyone seeing me exercise.  I won't run in public and while working out in my own home, I shut all the curtains and even tape a peice of paper over the window on the door.

I hate jumping around and feel my back fat jumping at a different pace lol.  But I try to keep in mind that everything I am doing healthier, is going to help me feel less fat in the long run.  I often think what it would be like to make a set of fitness videos (Im 5'3" 183 lbs), so people don't feel so bad about watching some skinny minny doing it so effortlessly.

Keep up with it, and once you start seeing results, you will feel less fat and more able.

Im a 5'3" 178lbs (my special scale lol that is 5 lbs lighter) so Im actually 183lbs.  In 2002 I weighed 130lbs.  My new boyfriends sedentary lifestyle, helped me get up to 180 (2005). Oct 2005 I noticed my first stretchmark on my belly, then tried to lose weight.  December 2005 I found out I was pregnant, concieved in Oct.  During my pregnancy I got up to 225lbs... I lost 20 lbs with a failed attempt at the Self challenge.  Then a little more here and there.  I have recently started keeping an eye on calories, and getting some exercise.  I bought a mio watch, which keeps track of your heart rate, and calories burned.  It motivates me to see whats being burnt while Im doing it.

My goal is to get down to at least 140 lbs.

Fitness Extra skin? Jan 23 2009

Unfortunately I don't think there is any way to tone up the skin... After having my first child 2 years ago, I have lost 50lbs, with lots left to go.  I too have the stretched skin, the saggy belly that over laps, and the wrinkly skin on my thighs.  I know a girl who was over 300 lbs, got down to 130 and after 3 years had to get a tummy tuck. (which in Ontario, Canada, if you stay at your goal weight 3 years, it is covered by O.H.I.P.

 

I would think to use Vitamin E oil, cocoa butter, or similar firming lotions, to improve the skins elasticity.
