For any of you who do venture to the Deals thread, can you let us know if there are any real good deals. I tried going over there, but gave up. I made it thru a few pages, and didn't find anything useful, besides HDDVDTV still helping all the "send me" noobs. It's hard wading thru all the poop.

Has anyone tried the Hasbro coupons on the card games? I know it says "excludes", but that doesn't mean one of you haven't tried it anyways Big Grin
Nada, still, send me too plz..

Hasbro shld be fine..Big Grin

I dunno what size I am right now. I'm very squishy though... *laugh*

I do plan to go crazy wild and start working out when my 6weeks post-partum is up - well, that's what I say anyways. They'll still have to drag me kicking and fussing. laugh out loud

I'm so addicted to carbs too - not sure how I'll do trying to come off of that - I suspect I'll be a mess! I think I gained around 30ish pounds with this pregnancy - and I had already gained a few pre-pregnancy. I'm short(ish?) at 5'4" and the online BMI calculators say I should be between 111-140lbs. I think I was 136ish when I got married - and that was a good weight on me. I don't want to be stick figure thin - but it would be nice if I was a bit firmer and less jello-y! I'm guessing I weigh around 160 right now, so I am thinking a good 20-25 lbs will have to go for me to look the way I want.

DH is hobbling around today with a flare up of gout. My stomach still hurts and the only thing I can think of is that I had a hamburger yesterday with 2 pieces of cheese on it. But it's weird that it took this long to start acting up. Ah well... so goes the mysteries of the human body, eh?

Can you tell I'm a bit bored today? Ugh. So... if I'm possibly going to be at Kmart tomorrow - what should I get?? Big Grin

Mavis pees a LOT. She's constantly soaking her dipes! I can't believe how many we've gone through with her already. She's doing pretty well now at sleeping somewhat longer periods of time. She's had a bit of a rough afternoon today, but I am hoping that means a little more sleep tonight. I think I'm adjusting well too - making it through more of the day without needing several naps.

I love how she smells too - why is it babies smell so lovely - then they become toddlers and get all kinds of stank??

i think we should start a weight loss club/support group here. let's not just be all talk. no action. many have taken the first step and admitted you'd like to change. now we just need to *just do it!*

then the time i spend here could be purposeful and productive instead of procrastination Teehee.

we could trade tips, recipes, encourage each other to exercise, not eat junk food, etc.

i need to lose weight and exercise more too! i have a torn acl and need to exercise my quads to make up for it. and i do not want to pay to replace my custom graphite brace for sports b/c i gained weight. i actually use it the most for vacuuming the house! ...which i haven't done much of lately.

and in all honesty, couponing and targeting does not encourage weight loss, rather the opposite. all those candy deals, mm sobe, fruit snacks, free or cheap packaged foods, etc just does not help w/ the weight issue.

I agree.. Couponing has definitely contributed to my weight gain.. I know I am not forced to eat it.. But chocolate has always been my weakness.. I am sure all of the hershey and m&m b2g1 coupons helped me gain the 15 pounds I gained the first 4 months of the year.. I was cleaning out the closet the other day and found a couple of big hershey bags still and lots of m&ms.. I have some of the pretzel ones and it was all I could do to put them back in the closet.... I remember driving home from target one night and eating an entire bag on the way homeEmbarrassment

Count me in, I have no encouragement DH, doesn't care what weight I am,so he claims. And I really have no friends or family in vegas. I would luv to loose weight, but its hard, I consume lots of soda and coffee and tend to eat junk food for snacks while I'm working even though I know I shouldn't, its usually just faster to eat processed junk since I usually don't take breaks while I work. I need advice, I never been great at dieting, and my current exercise is shopping at target, out door exercise is difficult here most of the time thx to the weather its so extreme most of the time.

I will jump on the weight loss bandwagon as well. I need to lose around 100lbs and have no motivation, except for walking to the pantry for a snackEEK!

Good evening everyone!!

Just stopping by to say hello.. I have been so busy the last few days with trying to get things ready for our trip to the beach. We are leaving tomorrow.. It is sad but I am taking my coupons cause I remember there was a pretty friendly target and kmart near the area.. I told my DH that it would be so nice if I found a target with no sucky update.. but I am fairly positive they have hit the SC area.. Oh well, we are really close to kmart and I can get some use of the toy coupon Smilie

As far as the weight discussion goes..I wear a much bigger size than I would like. After 36 pounds, I haven't even really dropped a size so to speak.. I do have some clothes that were tight but are now loose.. I have been overweight my entire life.. Though, I got much heavier after child birth. Sad thing is, I didn't gain much at all with the first 3 babies (11-17 pounds) and had lost it by the 6 week checkup.. but by the time the next baby rolled around, I was heavier each time. I finally started low carbing in 2004 and lost 150 pounds.. I wasn't small by any means, and especially not thin by standards of the skinny people posting here.. but I wore a size 12-14 and felt like I was so thin.. I had so much confidence and felt pretty good about myself.. Kept it off until 2007 when I had back to back pregnancies.. With my last daughter I gained almost 60 pounds and I truly didn't eat much. My metabolism is just whacked out, and I have thyroid issues too.. I have attempted to lose weight twice since I had her and both times gave up. This time I am going strong for 3 months now and am determined to get there.. I really don't desire to be skinny.. If I could get into a 14 again I would be ecstatic!!

I can confirm that the update has hit upstate SC....the BAD one where you can only use 3 like coupons then beeeeeeeeep. Sadwalk


teri...sorry to hear your son is having a hard time again. I will be headed down your way to MUSC with my Dad within the next few days. Mind if I send you a PM with a few Charleston related questions?

3 like coupons as in target coupons.. or MQ as well?? If so, that stinks big time. So far, here I can use multiple MQ without issues..
When we went to Myrtle beach last year, I popped into target for a few things, and had a wonderful cashier and my total accidentally went to -7.xxOMG I grabbed a GC and the cashier didn't even blink.. I would have never done that intentionally though..

I'm on one of my VMs, so I've missed a few posts, but I received this in email and had to share:

Quote :
Electric Light Orchestra cellist Mike Edwards died Friday (September 3) during a freak accident near Devon, England, when a 1,323 lb. circular bale of hay rolled down a hillside, over a hedge and onto the van he was driving.

The 62-year-old, who had reportedly been teaching cello lessons in Devon, died instantly. Police are looking into the hay bales origin; they suspect it fell from a tractor working the farmland along the A381.
Locals reported seeing a Coyote running away from the scene and weird sounds of "meep meep" in the distance Evil

Sorry, I know it's not funny...but it kinda is. If I'm going to go, let me go in a freak accident like this Big Grin

The 4th MQ beeps INF. The TQ's are fine....IF you have a cashier that doesn't read and enforce the 1 TQ per transaction wording.

L2BM...I think you are in the ATL area, right? I have traveled down your way a couple of times to shop. At least there the update isn't the absolute worst one. Have fun at Myrtle Beach. I used to live there and I sooo wish that I had known how to "shop" at T when I did.
