Original Post by miket53: wow lol not exactly the suggestions i would have expected!
oh we have a kinda "getting drunk party" about every or two. we (my husband, myself, and our group of friends) all got married really really young. then we all had children really really young. now i'm not saying that we regret it or it's a bad thing. but all of sort of forfitted our "parting years". we are all good responsible parents and we all work hard and take care of our kids. but maybe once a year or so we ship the kids to grandma's house and get all go to someones house and get stupid drunk lol may sound stupid but it's fun and we do it responsibly. now this year i'm on this diet and i want to still be able to do this and not blow my diet. i mean, it's not like i'm looking to do this everynight, every weekend, or even once a month... so thanks so much for the suggestions, to most of you lol Edited Mar 30 2009 06:51 by smwhipple |

i do all of those things with my kids (except the whole biking thing...like i said...i'm lucky to pay bills and buy grocieries...not getting a bike) but the tag, dancing, "wrestling" and such, i do that everyday. never looked at it as working out though. just to help for anyone trying to help me think of activities my kids are 4 1/2, 3 1/2, and 1 1/2. so to big for playpens or anything like that. it's starting to get alittle warmer outside but it's spring in Indiana so that changes day to day so sometime outside is just not possible. i have a stoller to put the youngest in but the other two are too old for that sort of thing. my husband works 60 hours a week, third shift, so it's pretty much just me and my three kids everyday all day long. so whatever i do i have to work around them. my 4 yr old does like to do the workout dvds with me but we can only do that when the other two aren't around or they go all crazy and either knock us down or i'm scared i'm going to kick them in the head the whole time lol |

i do wear a pedometer and on an average day, no working out, just being home taking care of the kids and the house i walk around 15,000 steps, so that is covered. second i would love to do any of thoughs activities you suggested....but who is going to pay for them? all of them take money and a babysitter....things i just don't have. that's why i'm stuck doing only workout dvds at home, at night, after my kids are in bed. |

generally people measure around their chest, waist, and hips. some also do upper arms and thighs. to measure chest: measure around your body at the fullest part of your breasts (like measuring for a bra) waist: measure around the most narrow part of your trunk...like were the waist of your pants sit hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips, like around your hips, lower abs, rear end area it's all like when you are getting fitted for clothes |

| Pregnancy & Parenting | How old is too old to bring your son into the women's bathroom? | Mar 09 2009 23:18 (UTC) |

i think my 4 year old (almost 5) would totally freak if my husband tried to take her in the men's room. she pretty mature and know about boy parts and girls parts ect. one day my 18month old son opened the bathroom door while my husband was peeing and my daughter walked by and freaked because she was afraid she would see her daddy's peepee lol
and yeah 13??? at 13 most kids are allowed to go out with friend without have an adult present anywhere...much less holding there hand in the bathroom! i understand if they are special needs children but otherwise....i think 10 is too old. i don't know...maybe it's because i live in a very small town. |

what about when it is a father and daughter out and one of them has to use the restroom? my husband has taken my 4 year old to the store before and when she had to go he let her go in alone and stood outside the door waiting and listening for her...there was no one else in there though. if she had not come out in a very short period of time or if he thought something was up he would have went even if it's a womens restroom. but what if he had to go? what should he do with her? you can't really have a 4 yr old girl in the mens restroom... this hasn't came up yet but with have 2 little girls it probably will sometime. |

yeah edward is my dad's middle name so that's where we got it. cole actually came from cole younger lol you know, jesse james cousin? we watched a movie about the james younger game and i actually fell in love with the name cole lol emma we picked out of a baby name book...and then i was so mad when it suddenly because SO popular and now there are five million other 4 yr old emmas gracie had a reason behind it lol i found out i was pregnant with gracie when emma was only 3 months old. i was, well lets say, not exactly overly thrilled to be pregnant again so soon! so i thought, grace is a gift from God that we might not always ask for, or even know we needed, but we do always need it and we always love it once it's been given to us...so there was gracie her middle name is lillyanne which is my great grandma's name and my husband great grandma's name...i know! what are the chances? bier-i do all of thoughs things and so many more lol i don't even have a dish washer but i still have an exact order that i load the sink and wash the dishes in and then they all have there own assigned spot in the dish rack to dry lol truely i am crazy! the list could go on and on! |

oh and that's really cool about being suprised! i never could have done it lol would have made me crazy! but i'm a BIG planner and control freak! with my oldest they couldn't tell what she was when i went in for my regular ultrasound so i basicly whined at my doctor until he gave me another quick scan in his office to tell me what she was lol with my little boy i had an ultrasound at 10 1/2 weeks to find out how far along i was and even then i was saying if she thought she saw any boy parts let me know lol

Original Post by soliwit: count me in at number FIVE! maybe we should start a "i hate lunges" club! i also hate push ups but just because i'm not strong enough to do them really yet!
i love squats! i dunno why.... i'm just good at them....makes me feel strong when my legs and butt are burning and i feel like i can keep going lol as opposed to lunges where i just feel like a be fat clumsy elephant! |

what i don't believe is the pics and weights they show for christy alley. like she'll look much much bigger than i am at 250 and they'll say she weighed like 165 and that she dropped 30lbs and now looks closer to a super model....i just don't believe there was only 30lbs lost there...i don't believe that she was only like 165 and i don't understand how i can drop almost 30lbs and you can barely tell but the celebs can drop 15 or 20 and look like totally different people.... |

i would love to find some place i can run where no one could see me. i just don't want people to see my fat rolls slamming up and down while i huff and puff and try not to quit....ugh!....if only i could find a secret track that no one else knows about 
Where can I see 1/8th or 1/6th of a pie or angel food cake?
This is the best way to picture a portion of pie or cake: Draw a circle to represent the circumference of the cake or pie (9" pie? 10" cake?... Read more
