Re: Weight loss Tips Straight From the Biggest Loser Ranch

Christie O. — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 08:41:44 -0000

I know! It's a little on the pricey side... but if it helps, all meals are included, seminars, workouts, hiking excursions, personal training, stay, etc.... ;) Maybe? ;) But I know, I do wish it was a little cheaper too.

Thanks Nadine! And yes, I had been completely diligent about my schmears, each time I'd bring up my symptoms, we'd chalk it up to something else, mostly because my symptoms showed up separately. Now as for the dentist on the other hand, that's another story. ;)

Re: The Truth About Motherhood Regrets

Christie O. — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 09:08:50 -0000

aww Lori. I know what you mean about regrets, but you are a wonderful loving mother who has happy kids. THAT'S a big deal! (Have you seen the movie "People Like Us" yet? Now THAT is regret AND dysfunction.) YOU my dear are lovely. And you will get through this. These may be annoying speed bumps but at the core of it, you're a strong woman with strong principles and you're teaching your kids love, hard work and giving them a good life and providing for them. You're doing a GOOD JOB. I know it's easy to see what's gone wrong but there are so many rights. Sending you *hugs* and good sleep vibes. xoxox

ps. Not a single one of us listened to parenting advice when we were first-timers. It's because we have to live through it ourselves, no one can tell us, it's just the way it is. We'll even try to tell first-time moms so they can avoid our mistakes but they won't listen either. bahahahaha!

I LOVED this. Thank you. As a mom who breastfed twice (and neither of those times were a walk in the park with one of them being a preemie and one of them leaving me with cracked bleeding nipples) all moms ARE mom enough. And shame on Time for trying to make any one of us feel like we're not for whatever decisions we've made for our families and children. This job is hard on every single one of us, it is riddled with mom-guilt and we lose sleep at night wondering if we've made the right decisions for our kids. Why does anyone have to make that harder? So thank you for leveling it down for all of us, because in my opinion, we're all in this together. We are moms and we love it, but the job is hard. Period.

ps. I nearly spit out my coffee with "watching helplessly as two wet blossoms spread across your chest when a baby cries within earshot during lunch with your boss." BAHAHA! That is the best description of it that I have ever read.

you are right on, i've never been such a believer in speed work until I watched my husband start running 7:30 miles! I mean seriously, he used to run with me at the 10 minute pace, now he's kicking my arse! and it's all speed work! Proud of you, you're gonna kick some butt!

Re: Why I gave up on The Biggest Loser

Christie O. — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 12:13:43 -0000

i'm sorry to say it, but i think the pills were the "jump the shark" moment for the biggest loser. they came out, then jillian went off the show, then bob had pills, now I've stopped watching because I just haven't bonded with any of the contestants this season, it's just a lot of whining. I don't know what happened but last season I loved the people and the season before I was in love with the people. It has eventually fallen to the "I might watch that" file of the DVR. Which really means no I won't. It's sad. I really did love the show so much.
