Hi Lynn--I just accepted your "friendship". I don't spend as much time on the forums during the school year (for obvious reasons), but I love meeting other home schooling Cathe fans. Most of my home school friends don't share my passion for exercise. I'm trying to lose around 25-30 lbs after...

Doing unassisted pullups is a goal of mine as well. I bought some rubber tubing from Power Systems and rigged something similar to what you describe. I can finally do a pull up, assisted of course. I figure that when I can do 20 assisted, maybe I could do 1 alone and work from there--we'll...

Briee! Big congratulations:D. I'm so happy for you. I've mostly just been lurking since baby Gwen was born as my computer time (especially computer time with two hands for typing) has been severely reduced. I've missed you! take care and I hope you feel better soon. Maggie:)

Jennifit--((((hugs)))) I don't really have any words of wisdom, but with 7 children, believe me, I've had my times where I thought I was going to lose my mind. But those times are interspersed with much easier times, so hang in there! Try and enjoy those precious moments of sweetness and...

Granted that this woman is certainly beautiful, talented, and hard-working--I certainly don't discount that-- However, eating disorders are extremely common in the dance world. I was an apprentice for a local ballet company as a teenager and they wanted me to weigh 95 lbs at 5'4--didn't care...

Ohhh I can't wait--I popped in to see if there was an update on STS. Hurray! Maggie:D

Janice--I've hardly been around either. Your baby is absolutely adorable. My Gwen-bird is 4 months and almost 18 lbs--quite the chubbers as well. Nice to "see" you back! Maggie:)

Hi Ladies--I actually have a moment. I'm sure that I will hear little feet tromping down the stairs any minute. Weight coming off slow--now I've got 22.5 lbs to lose. Gwen is so plump, I've taken to calling her the turducken (a chicken wrapped in a duck wrapped in a turkey--fancy...

Hi ladies! Just popping in for a quick hello! I haven't been here on the site for a couple of weeks. It's been a rough month--dh's dad is rapidly losing his mind, among other various events/illnesses, so computer time is rare. Congratulations, Lisa--I am so glad that everything went well for...

Thanks for the tip--I'm doing pt exercises on my own to build up my right quad since I'm having knee issues. I should add this in, because my achilles tendon bugs me as well. I seem to be falling apart as I age--I just want to be able to work out successfully as I get older. I thrive on it...

Hi everyone! I can't post everyday, so I'll do it when I can. My weight is coming off very slowly. I was hoping for a faster loss, but this is typical. Of the 70 lbs I've gained, I've lost 44 and have 26 left to go. It will probably take me a year because I want to lose 10-15 vanity lbs as...

Congratulations on that sweet little puddin' pop! Nuzzle that newborn head for me;). No belly fat?!! I wish I could say that. Hope the swelling goes away soon--keep us posted! Maggie:)

Oh, congratulations! Another big baby (Gwen was 10lbs too:eek:), but I'm sure he seems little to you! Enjoy his smallness and nuzzle that newborn head for me;). Maggie:)

Hi Ladies! I'd love a post-partum check-in (boy these pounds are stubborn:mad:!), but I'll only be able to check in a couple of times a week. My computer time has been somewhat limited. Congrats to all of you who had babies--Stephanie, Jen, Kate--I saw Kate's announcement, but missed the...

Thank you for some much needed levity. My oldest son (a political nut at 14) will get a kick out of this as well. Maggie:p

Kate--that's the most dramatic birth story I've heard in a while--you rock, woman! Congratulations and nuzzle that little newborn head for me! I can't wait to see pics of the wee one--hint, hint:D.... Maggie:) (Psalm 27)

Autumn--I mostly just lurk now, when I have a brief, rare moment for computer time. But I had to post to you. I am so sorry. I'll be praying for you. ((((hugs)))) May the God of all comfort, comfort you. Maggie

Stirrup pants? Oh say it isn't so:confused:. I will not wear them, or peg leg pants or leg warmers or bustiers with big full skirts and high top tennis shoes and fingerless gloves and raggy thingies in my back-combed hair, or anything hot pink, etc......:eek::rolleyes::eek:. Okay, let's not get...

I'd say--just cuddle him and enjoy it. I've never regretted sleeping with my infants, but I'm more of an attachment mom too:D. congratulations! Maggie:)

Congratulations--enjoy his smallness-they grow up sooo fast:) Maggie:)
