Cloth diapers are wonderful for laying on your shoulder burping the baby. I went thru soooooooo many. The wipes warmer is nice too. Those wipes can be sooo cold strait out of the box. Bottle warmer that you can bring in the car and plug in. Crib sheets.... gosh, there's just so much and I'm sure its all appreciated. I know I appreciated everything. A baby's first photo book. I'm sure anything you get she will love and appreciate.

Who'da thunk ? LOLOL !!

Is he telling you to get in 2 Protein drinks a day because your not getting enough protein? He's probably telling you to do this until your on solids (are you on solids?) Some people just cant eat enuf meat/eggs/beans and prefer a shake. IMHO protein is protein, there is just different sources of it.

Congrats on the babies and hang in there, your Mom's gonna be just fine, she has my prayers. chocolate................ sorry no comprende' *faint*

Jacqui, your better off without it. Bread goes down for me like water :rofl:

For myself, Water does not curb my appetite.... remember the old diet trick, drink a glass of water b/4 dinner and you'll feel fuller .... haaa only if it was that easy. BUT !! I do agree with the rest of the article... water is so critical. Your urine should be almost clear (except 1st thing in the morning of course). Thanks for the article....good reading :rofl:

No Kelly they don't look to big.................. for ME !!!! HAAAAAAAAA love it girl, love it !!! BRAVO

Hey ! where's Pat and Betty, Ira and Lisa ? I miss you !!

Good Morning :rofl: Thanks everyone !!! my pitty party is over...time to get pissed :angry hehehe. All negative thoughts behind me. Whats everyone doing this weekend? its foggy and raining here, looks like its night time. Today I promised myself I will get on my treadmill and get my Water in. Its hard to get my water in at work (so I'm finding) so I must devise a plan. I must start my caloire counting again. I'm nibbling here and there and making excuses for it... NOT GOOD !!! I gotta remember my band is a tool not a cure and that it won't work unless I put some effort behind it. My goal for this month is to be down 5 lbs and I only have 2 weeks left so I must get cracking. How about you guys? where are you with your WL ? are you moving along, stuck, or like me.... excuse city? :guess Tina WELOME !! Dianne, good luck with your band, I'll be praying for you girlie.

I'm just so happy for you !!! *giggle*

I have done Atkins in the past and never lost weight until I started watching my calories. Calories do count, I agree with you Lisa. I had to drop my calories to 1300 to lose on Atkins. Now if your exercising on any diet, you can have more calorie (not alot more but more). Heather, when your in the store and you pick up an item. Look at the serving sizes (or serving) and then look at the calories. Compair them. For instance. You pick up a package of yodells (little chocolate cakes), there are 3 small yodells in that package. 1 yodel is the "serving size" and the calories are 200. That would mean if you ate that entire package of yodels (all 3, which isn't alot) you would have just consumed 600 calories. 1/2 of your daily intake if your on 1200 calories. Not worth it IMHO. 1 oz of 80% ground beef has approx. 71 calories 1 oz of chicken breast has approx. 43 calories So you see you can have more chicken for the same amount of calories. Hope this helps.

:Banane20:I can fart and burp louder than any truck driver :rockon:

Yikes.... DH should go over there and set her a$$ straight. If she doesn't want to make a mends than thats her decision. You'll just have to try to explain to the little ones that G'ma is a big baby. Does everyone give into this woman b/c they feel sorry for her? Maybe she expects you to go crawling to her for forgivness or something. I'm so sorry she is being imature and hurting the kids. Some people never grow up.

Well I'm 5'10" with a medium frame. My goal is 170 lbs. My shoe size is a 7.5 (yes thats small) Ring size is 6 (5 on a good day lol). Given that, I'd say you'd prob be good at approx. 190 lbs.

Lisa I had the same problem...still do. I'm hungry every 2 hours but now that I'm healed I can eat like a horse. Drink lots of Water and if you need to eat inbetween, it does help and in my case it helps me not go nuts for the next meal. INHO if your hungry EAT! Can you do crackers? some lowfat ones or even pudding, some mushy meat, do what works for you. Hugs !!! Oh hot Soups help ALOT!!!

Congratulations Kim !! Welcome Just take it easy and heal.

Hehehehe... good going Cheri and good luck with your fill

Congratulations !!!!!!!! Mushies will be like heaven LOL

You know how hard it is to read your comments to me and not have teary eyes LOL !! I'm such a blubbering idiot !! I'm better today but not 100%... I'll get stronger as time goes on. I've been here for 8 years (this company) same job. Worked my way up to a #5 rating which is the highest you can get. Even with no boss, I get a rating of a 4 from the VP. They all know me and my work and how much effort I put into every little thing I do. Last year I got a new boss... Drill Sargent !!! He has given me TONs more work along with the rest of the staff... do I complain NO, I just do it and keep my mouth shut. I've never had any problems with people, co-workers and my new boss even said how he admires me for the fact that I can relate and get along with anyone (thats b/c I don't think I'm better than anyone and I don't have that stinkin attitude like some do)... anyway.... He gave me my review yesterday and rated me as a 3 which means I am doing my job. Now mind you, I have responsibilities that no other people at my level has b/c my previous boss felt that I was able to do the job better than someone with a degree. A *F-in* 3.... I cried right in front of him and I don't think his military brain realized just how crushed I was until then. There so much more but you get the jest. My co-workers are floored, they are crushed like I am. Today's a new day, I'm feeling better but still misty if you know what I mean so any little thing can set me off HAAAAAA!! SAP !!! or is it sucker? I am now actively looking with in the company for another position and I notified my old boss (from this department) that I need help. She still works here and will help me in a heart beat. She is now working with the CEO so she's got clout :) :confused: Rant over !!! I'm sorry I haven't read up on you all... I will do so tomorrow morning while I'm sitting in my lazy boy sipping coffee hehehehee. Life is good and I'm so glad I have you all. Thanks for giving me your shoulder today, I really needed it. (corporate world is not for the soft hearted...beware lol). Anne, don't worry I didn't get offended or down at your comment, actually if was very funny lol. Love yah !!!

Congrats Beanie & Patty !!!! LOVE YOU !! Sorry folks I'm having a really bad day at work.... been crying for the past 3 hours... Don't worry I'm okay... just to soft hearted. I'll tell you all more tomorrow when I can focus better. Beanie hit the lottery and take me with you. (some people suck!)

Do they numb you b/4 sticking the needle in ?

Oh my VIRGIN EYES !! :faint:
