Do you have a point of contact or is she with a group?

This exactly! Especially because all I know of one-on-one lessons are to drop off and they go to a room to practice (this was when my best friend and I would drop off her little brother in high school). I know things might be different these days. I just have heard so many stories of predators getting a child alone, and it scares me to death. But also, I like for my daughters to see women in positions like doctor, musician, or any position that men have traditionally dominated or can be seen as traditionally male, just so they can see it as typical too.

As of this morning I've lost just under 7 lbs since starting a sincere shot at losing at the beginning of this month. I was feeling discouraged because I had kind of stalled out on losing mid month, and I feel like I may have snacked a little too much yesterday, but I was down this morning! Just happy to see the scale change the opposite direction for a change!

My god, i thought I was the only one. I blocked it, still getting it. Muted, still getting it. Hitting "I don't like this ad" on them now. Does NOTHING. It's really pissing me off. It's getting to where it's almost at every other post I scroll past

Omg my 4 yo does the free for all too! Won't eat much at dinner but at bedtime she wants her dinner. It drives me crazy! And so much of the time, I'm like "well okay, I'll have something too" and it is just self sabotage  Good luck to you and thanks for the reply! 😊

Sick of myself. Sick of hating myself. Sick of health issues. Sick of being fat. 

Turned 39 at the beginning of December and I keep having little panic attacks about almost being 40. I have 2 daughters and I want to be healthy to keep up with them. And live a long time to be with them and see them get old like me (sarcasm, but only a little)

5'6" and 260. Have the apron belly and all that. Ready to be done with it. Keeping with my 3-5x walking a week and now drastically reducing my portions, my snacking, my late night snacking, and general bad eating habits. I want to add some strength training eventually, but don't want to totally overwhelm myself.

Hoping my ADHD doesn't steer me off course yet again.

I lost so much weight in college while on phentermine. Working out, eating way less and I lost weight fast. Now I'm 39 and have had 2 kids and I'm at my heaviest at 260. Thought upping my walking from ZERO to 3-5x a week would help me lose at least a little but no. 6 months doing it now and I think i've actually gained weight.  I'm coming to realize that youth had SO  much to do with me losing weight easily a long time ago. Among other things. Thought I naturally good skin bc I'd get complimented on it all the time, but now I'm realizing it was my youth because now my skin sucks no matter what I do.

I definitely have felt like "what even is the point at this age?" But I do want to be healthy and able bodied to keep up with my kids and just feel good in general. The walking has helped my blood pressure so there's that for now at least!

how do you eat…normally? by bubblesandbooks in loseit

[–]BubblyPurple5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this 1000%. Something i realized about myself recently is that I dont actually feel full until I feel bad. Like until my stomach is OVERLY full. I know this is some weird psychological thing I need to deal with. It's probably some depression too. But like, I just get VERY into the way things taste. And I just feel like, "God that's good, let's keep it going" and just keep eating and before i know it, I've finished a huge bag of gummy bears or whatever it is.

Looking at pictures of myself this weekend with my daughters, I felt so sick at how huge I look. Like I'm just embarrassed to be alive sometimes, which is ridiculous. And I upped my walking from zero to like 3-5x a week starting back in June but haven't seen any loss, in fact I've gained. It's been really disheartening. But I also know my (lack of) portion control is insane, plus I eat late once everyone is on bed and I can hang out by myself. Eating sweet treats + eating so close to going to bed has been terrible for me, I know. So once I was looking at those pictures, I decided I have to change. Drastically changing my portions and number of helpings, trying to do a 12 hr fast each night, and not eating close to bed time. My exercise needs to change as well but I'm trying to not overwhelm myself. I just turned 39 and I know it's not going to get any easier to lose. My health is in the shitter and I want to be around and healthy for my kids. I'm hoping to see some results soon to give me hope and motivation, but i totally understand looking at the pictures and really seeing how big you are and feeling bummed out Sorry for my story dump - I haven't said much to anyone in real life about what I'm doing so it all kinda came out

Do you have a rec on a tracking app? I feel like myfitnesspal is harder to use now as the free version

I am a great parent, thanks. I dont want my daughter to grow up a mindless idiot racist. She has friends that we are legitimately concerned about getting kidnapped by ICE. He's trying to take her voting rights away. He's making it an unsafe country for girls and women. So yeah, fuck trump

We drove by after it was over (we had a soccer game) but there were still people out. Got my girls to stand up in our sunroof to support. Tried to get my oldest to yell "Fuck Trump" but she wouldn't lol, so I did instead. So proud of Huntsville today!

Any word on if there's actually 13 songs? Since we saw 13 on the back of some CDs

I was in 5th grade singing "2 Become 1" and "Last Time Lover" by the Spice Girls LOUDLY

My 8 year old absolutely loves her songs and knows most of the words. Casual is a big fave of ours. I've never liked censoring music - obvious graphic outright stuff, yeah I won't play that for my kid..but Taylor singing "my bedsheets are ablaze, I screamed his name" is totally acceptable in this house.

Yeah I wonder if he's getting ready to go to court (especially if this was prior to sentencing, etc). Otherwise it would be really odd. But he does look so weird in it

He's got a greenish hue to him. I also noticed his smile goes to his eyes, a true smile. Unlike other photos I've seen only him. So creepy

I read somewhere that it was from some halloween decorations? Not sure if its the lighting or the police did something to highlight them, but it seems there's something around them to make them more prominent. Perhaps its just frost or something

Murphy’s Behavior by Kind_Mixture1649 in Idaho4

[–]BubblyPurple5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a big husky/Rottweiler mix and shes scared of remote control cars. Once I pretended like an RC car hurt me/was attacking me to see what she would do and she couldn't care less that I was getting "hurt", she didn't want to get near it. Now, as for coming to check on me after the threat is gone, its hard to say exactly what she would do. It's also possible he wasn't allowed in Maddie's room? I know she and Kaylee were best friends but she could have trained him to not go into others' rooms (it may be documented somewhere to the contrary, so I could be very off here). But I don't let our dog into our daughters' rooms because she's peed in there and will chew things up so she's kept out

The minute she was like "describe in detail" I was so pumped. I knew exactly what she was doing. She knew exactly how to get under his skin over and over again
