How CUTE! I've never seen one before. Are those quills all over him, like a porcupine? Don't they kinda hurt? Ouch.
How would you raise something like this little cutie-pie?

Well, I'm still struggling! I'm up to 5 miles on my eliptical 3-4 days a week and curves 2-3 days a week. At one point I was a 16! Starved and worked out like crazy, got down to a 6! That didn't last too long. I leveled off at an 8, which was just fine. I'm a solid 10 now! GRRR! I try to watch what I eat but we have been so busy lately we have been eating out a lot more than usual, not good for the waist line! I really want to get back into my 8's before I get pregnant. Everyone tells me how much harder it is to lose weight after a baby! If I had to choose between being a little plump or being pregnant, I would take pregnant in a second! I'm still waiting to ovulate this month, may take longer becasue of the recent miscarriage, but hope to post soon that I am pregnant!

I'll have to try it. I don't love the taste, but I also don't love being this bloated. I am so upset with myself. After MONTHS of stability, I went and drank too much on Friday night. It's now Monday and I still have D.

Our Gracie is way cuter than the picture. She has a white face and yes she is covered with prickles, but they lay down nicely so you can pet her when she is calm. Many people keep their hedgehogs like household pets, but with having dogs, and not wanting to find poop everywhere Gracie is confined to a cage with lots of fun things inside to keep her busy. I think Hedgehogs live for about 6 years.
I love your description of the General. I can just see him going bonkers for kids. Dogs are the best!

Mix it, that's the key. Heather suggests peppermint, but I can't have peppermint so I use dried lavender, which is great.

Hey everyone! I'm glad that we're back on again. Today is my birthday and I'm turning the big 27. I don't feel different but my five year old says I'm old. I need to watch my intake of food today. Yesterday wasn't good and I'm afraid I'm going to devour cake and cookies, etc. But I shouldn't beat myself up over these failures. I do need to stop them though!! It's like a binge eat or something. I feel like a food addict. I have even gained eight pounds since two months ago!! I think it's because I started taking my anxiety meds and now I haven't had a problem with my IBS (knockon wood) and I have started eating more than usual. Not necessarily bad foods, but I'm consuming more and I'm not burning it off. Help!! I need some motivation!! AmandaPanda, you really woke my eyes up yesterday. I'm unfortunately riding on a 14/16 and I need to lose about 30 more pounds and I'll be good for my height. After having three kids in 4 1/2 years, I packed on 70 pounds with my first and it's killing me. So I have lost all of that and now I'm dealing with my prebaby weight that I had. The really hard stuff!!! I will never be a 4 or a 6 or 8 for that matter, but a nice 10/12 would be very great!! I need advice and some suggestions!! Please help me! I need to stop this eating frenzy!!

I'm struggling also but try to get some exercise in there somewhere. I try to eat small meals and snacks through out the day. I find If I let myself get too hungry, than I go into feeding frenzy mode!  Try to keep a water bottle next to you at all times, the more water you drink the less food you will want to eat, or so I have been told! Another trick I have is: after making dinner, I serve out my plate than put all the leftover food away BEFORE I sit down to eat, that way I don't nibble on the leftovers as I'm putting them away, or say "gee, theres only a little left, might as well eat it."
Happy birthday to you!

Yes!! Tell me your weightloss secrets. I feel like a beached whale right now, and I'm getting depressed. I just want to go back to my normal size. I am by no sense of the word large (trust me I don't have screwed up body image) .. I'm usually a 2 or a 4. Now my fours are getting too tight, and forget about the 2's. This weight gain kinda crept up on me for the past few months outta no where. One day my clothes didn't fit.  which does nothing for a persons self image. I wonder if its all the carbs I now eat cause of this ibs shiznit. I used to stay away from extra bread and pasta cause it supposively packs on the pounds. Anyways, All the lowrise clothes aren't helping, because they only accentuate big bellies, cause by no means do they hold them in, and my belly is my problem spot. All through college I had a flat flat flat belly. Then after graduation it got huge.. FAST. I've bought windsor pilates but it hasn't helped.. so please tell me your secrets!!
Thats my story.....same sizes too. I'm getting pretty ticked that my clothes aren't fitting I think my problem has to do with my lack of energy...so I'm not burning as many calories. Hopefully when I get back my energy I'll work out again.
I also bought Windsor pilates too. I was doing good on it and then got sick....haven't had the energy to do it for over a month. I'm getting mad...I was planning on being toned and fit for the summer. Well I guess that ain't happening! I too want to lose like 5-10 lbs!!!!
So good luck to the both of us!!! I don't want to buy bigger clothes...so I better loose this weight that I gained!!!!

Hi Steph!
I totally aggree with you. I definitly don't want to buy new clothes and I've got to do something about this fast. I was doing pilates a few times a week and it has helped tone me up in some places, but not enough. I have been slacking big time on doing it lately. I need to get back on track.
I too wanted to get fit this summer, but it looks like i'm running out of time. good luck.. maybe its all that candy we are eating.. aparently we are both swedish fish addicts.  I'm sure that doesn't help.
