when i was pregnant i got into chewing on ice. my husband actually made a joke about how no matter what we did on the weekends, we had to always stop at the fast food places, get two cokes, and two extra cups of ice. i would drink my coke, chow down on the ice, and by the time i wanted more, his coke would be done and i would have his ice. i am still the same way. But my doc thought it was anemia, and it was not. Some people are just ice chewers. And I am one of them. and I have a strong jaw to prove it LOL One thing to keep in mind...yes...you can use the ice for your Fluid intake. But one cup of ice (unless it is a solid cup of frozen liquid premeasured as liquid) does not equal a cup of Water. i did a test, and my ice maker crushes a cup of ice that will melt to a little over half a cup of water. So you might need to eat twice as much in volume (or what seems like twice as much) to get your fluid intake in. Hope that helps!!

i responded to your pics in the before and after thread, but I will say it here again cause it is worth it! You are beautiful!! And you have a butt and it is shapely! :eek: You look fantastic and all that really hard work you are doing is paying off ten fold!

:sick i should be starting my period any day now. i have been waiting patiently. its driving me nuts!! And i really hope it will actually wait until tuesday because i don't want to be bloated and nasty and crabby at the party this weekend.:phanvan

yeah, looks better. glad i could help. now we can see your eyes I will try the lemon joy. you will see in the pics from the party how dark my hair is. it is shocking!! LOL

After an altercation with a resident of a retirement community, you are beaten with an oxygen tank and dragged through the complex by a convoy of personal mobility vehicles. At least I know I am going to live long enough to make it to a retirement home. Lord knows I will be starting fight up to the very end. MUHAHAHAHAHA

just email me directly at amy@amydavisdigital.com. Attach it and i will send it back when i am done. can't guarantee anything, but i am pretty good with photoshop I have NEVER heard of people saying that people's siggys are discouraging! That is so sad!! I hate that there are so many downers here when there are so many people that are trying to be happy and excited and positive about this journey.

heather, send me the original picture. i can make an av of your face without it getting fuzzy hopefully.

Heather I asked about the sig cause i hadn't seen it in another thread. i was worried you were in delete mode. *pokes telly* LOL Tricia i think we all need to eat bad and drink too much every once in a while. Not a habit mind you, but just enough to get in touch with your whimsical side. LOL

cool! Not only am I pregnant, but I am going to have a boy! And the dady is Arnold Schwarzenegger. hehehehe. i'm so cool with that. LOL

Isis Leatherrock Something tells me i would have been a failed porn star. lol

heather....where is your sig and av?

oh man... lol i am awaiting the photos to be mailed to me. i think i looked really good in the corset. but man was i trashed!! LOL I woke up sunday and still felt drunk. i told DH he better enjoy nights out like that because i can't get that drunk when i have the band. but my legs still hurt from dancing and dipping that I did. I think I danced for 4 hours straight with only one break to go pee. LOL

speaking of new do's. i am so pissed right now. I went into the salon this weekend to get the blonde highlites in my hair cut out, and to have a shine done on my hair. same color, but just a boost of shine. I came out with dark brown hair. the idiot woman dyed my hair this dark red/brown color cause she thought it would look nice. so now twice a day i am shampooing my hair like crazy to try and wash as much of the dye out as possible.

oh wow she looks like she had fun!! LOL My son is like that. He would rather just lower his mouth into a trough and root around lol my daughter on the other hand uses a whole napkin after every bite, and hates getting dirty. she has been that way from the beginning.

oh screw it all. tell bad jokes. it sorts out those with a sense of humor and those with a stick jammed up their butts. LOL I am just like you Telly. I actually have a group of friends that are a lot like myself. We were affectionately refered to as "Jerk Central" on another site, till we offended too many people (a few on purpose HA!) and got banned. Oh well. Now we have a board of our own, with no entrance to any outsiders, where we ist around and enjoy each others really warped and dry sense of humor. It helps get all the jerky urges out so i can be normal with others. Its quite therapeutic! Esp since one of us a is head shrinker.

I bike for an hour every morning. I have no idea how many hours, it is a program that I run, then watch the news. HA! Then I do the eliptical till I feel like passing out 3 times a week. Twice a week I work my arms and core.

nut, have you checked on fitday to see how much you would burn taking care of him for the day? I bet you would find that your basal burn and your lifestyle burn, plus the child care burns more than you realize!!

I think there are lots of people that do the same thing with New England as they do with New Mexico.

The reason a shoe saleswoman would tell you that is so that you have some space for TOM and other times when your feet swell. If you buy it on a perfect day, and then TOM comes around and your feet gain half a size (mine do sometimes) then your foot would be sticking out over the edge. Best to err on the side of caution with this one i think.

The scale keeps going down!! I am now 355 as of this morning! I can't believe this! I get on the scale and the weight stays steady! Oh I am so happy!

what a fabulous idea!! and no butter or grease or pan spray!! i love it!

i found some online about a year ago. It really did wonders for my chipmunk cheeks, and evened plumped up my lips!! Do some searches on Google and maybe you can find something.

That is such a simple idea!! I can't believe I didn't think about that. I usually bag up and freeze spaghetti sauce and chili for quick dinners for the family. I don't know why I didn't think about doing bandster size meals like that. Thanks Kristen!!!! You rock.

Productive Burp. Its when something gets stuck and you burp it back up. Welcome to LBT from another Floridian!! You'll be in a bikini on the sandy beaches in no time!!

you know, i had a close friend who had fibroids really badly, and she had a hard time every month for TOM. When she finally had that surgery her TOM was smooth sailing. Lots less pain and cramping. I am so glad to hear that you are allright, that they were all non-cancerous, and that the PS was able to sew you back up for minimal scarring and tight muscles.
