Me too! Erica

Stephanie - I went through this exact same thing. I reached my goal weight and then thought I needed to go a little lower to have a buffer zone. Then, I went a little lower...still "just in case" I gain weight. It became an obsession - so much of my day was spent thinking about...

Was that one of my sons? :o:confused: Erica

Kassia - I think I've reached my breaking point with my MIL. Maybe not since I didn't confront her when she was nasty to me a couple of weeks ago. I'm done trying to please her, though. Like you, I came from a dysfunctional home and I was very young when I met her - I was 18 when I met her...

I never saw the show. It's been difficult to deal with my MIL. I mostly avoid her and don't see her unless it's a holiday or birthday. She's mean to me, my DH and our children. Not all the time, but you just never know when she's going to be in "a mood." I just had her over for dinner a...

My MIL is a bully. :mad: Erica

I did too, Buffy. :) Erica

My husband has always argued the 3500 calories = a pound. He is very lean and struggles to keep weight on. He believes that the more he eats, the more he burns - like his metabolism works harder to burn off the extra calories so he doesn't gain weight. As far as kimenem's post...I don't...

I like both, but buy from Lands End much more because I seem to get better discounts with LE. They both have great quality and customer service. Except for some lamps I bought from LE years ago - made in China and junky. Erica

Melissa - I have always avoided watching Schindler's List because I thought it would be too disturbing for me - content like that would haunt me for weeks. I recently read a children's book about the Holocaust and it was so horrifying to read...like you said, the lack of humanity was just...

I'm not much of a movie watcher, but some of the most depressing movies I've ever seen were: Legends of the Fall Mystic River and..this one's probably silly, but it was disturbing to me: Star Wars Episode III (I can't remember the name of that one, but it's the one where Anakin turns...

My mother and I were estranged for 7 years. We've been communicating again for over a year, but I am very cautious with her and do not trust her. She lives out of state and has never seen my youngest child (7 1/2 years old) and hasn't seen my teens since they were small children. I didn't...

I especially feel badly for his daughter. Imagine how she's going to feel when she grows up and finds out that her father refused to acknowledge her as his daughter. :( Erica

I've done all three in a row twice. The first time, I was pretty wiped out after 40/20 and did not push as hard in 30/30 and DWP. The next time I did it, I lowered my risers in 40/20 so I was using an 8" step instead of 12" and I wasn't as fatigued. I think next time, I'll try it with a 10"...

You can sell them on bisibat.com. Unlike ebay and Amazon, there are no fees but there's not a lot of traffic there for DVDs (I've sold a couple there). It's mostly books. Erica

Michelle, What year did your DH graduate? Mine graduated in '82. We did have a lot of snow last week, but it's quiet now. To keep this on topic, I was running every day in any temps, but the snowplow came by yesterday and tore up all the snow, dumped cinders everywhere and now our...

Michelle - my DH grew up in S. Euclid and went to Brush High School. :) Erica

How funny! I love Chagrin Falls! We lived there for a year while our house was being built and loved it there. We still go there once a year and have a picnic, feed the ducks and go to the playground and the popcorn shop. :) Nice to meet you, too! I have twins also, but they are 15 1/2...

Where in Ohio do you live? We're in Chardon with about 3 feet of snow on the ground, too! :) Erica

Lynn - I wear the Yaktrax Pros, too - they work great! And I have been running with just one pair of socks on. I wear one pair of heavy mittens and my hands are all sweaty by the end of my run. I agree that running in snow is a lot different than running on pavement - feels more like trail...
