Jessa's Mommy 7/12/10

I used to think having a baby was an excuse for carrying extra weight. However, my "baby" is turning 2 next month! There are no more excuses. I have a gym membership and i love walking on the treadmill and using the machines. But i still am not eating right. I want to lose weight in a healthy way and believe I am starting on the right track.

What are some tips that you have?

Have you lost weight?

Thanks in advance! I'm on my way to being a fun mommy and getting my life back!

How would i solve a problem like this. If i buy an item and want to re-sell it, what should i sell it for if i want to make a 150%profit. This is hypothetical.

If i buy something for 1.75 and want to make a 150%profit, how much should i sell it for? How would i figure this problem out?

Thanks in advance!

I'm writing a story and i feel like i'm using a lot of the same phrases. One in particular, "We hopped in the car." What are some other ways of saying that?

I am so excited that my little one will be able to experience her first trick-or-treating this year. When do you think is a good time to start? I don't to be the only ones out, but i don't want it to get to dark. How old are your kids and what time are you bringing them out tonight? Or if you aren't going out tonight, what time did you go out in years past?

Thanks in advance!

I am planning a trip and one of my choices of airports to connect to is Philadelphia airport. Has anyone had good/ bad experiences at this airport?

Thanks.

I'm planning my wedding and there are so many favors that you can order for your wedding guests. What favor would you most like to receive? What one would you not like to receive?

I am getting married on August 21 of this year! but i am NOT willing to walk down the aisle at the weight i am now. I had a baby in july and never lost that weight. I know eating right and walking will help, but i am so busy with my baby. My friend told me to take water pills and acai pills. What other thing can i do?

So i posted a question about food for my reception and someone said i can't call it a reception if the guests are bringing food. But here's the thing... i can't afford a caterer. My neighborhood is really close and for parties they always call and ask what they can make. For my best friends wedding she did the same. Soo.. he said if the guests bring the food you have to call it an after party. But it's probably 1/4 of the guests who are going to be bringing a dish. I don't want to call it an after party.... :(

I asked this question yesterday and only got one response. I was wondering if there are more people out there with ideas!! Help please :)

I am getting married August 21 of this year and we are looking to do a lot ourselves since we don't have that much money. Also, we don't want to ask my parents for any money. Our reception is going to be held outside at my Aunt's house under a tent. Our neighborhood is really close and for parties each guest makes a dish of food. That's what we are going to do for our wedding, buffet style. But we want to have hors d'oeurvres before the dinner, like a cocktail hour. What are some cheap summery foods that we can have for this?

Some of my ideas are pigs in a blanket, deviled eggs, fresh fruit and veggies, shrimp cocktail, cheese and crackers, swedish meatballs and bruschetta.

Congratulations to all the brides-to-be out there!

I'm not quite sure what my wedding budget is yet, but i know i want to do whatever i can to save money...making the centerpieces, and bouquets and decorating myself. Also, my friend's dad is a chef and he has offered to give me a discount on the catering

What was your wedding budget and what did you actually spend?

What did you do to save money?

What did you spend more on than you thought you would?

Thanks :)

I'm getting married August 21! I'm excited but it's quite stressful doing everything without blowing all my money. I want a nice wedding and cheap. But i don't want it to look cheap. Any of you brides to be or married ladies have ideas where i can save money?

I was thinking about making the centerpieces and bouquets myself. Also anything i can do myself i will!

Can you help on ideas?

I'm helping my 7 yr old neighbor with his project and he needs to know 2 important things that the President has done. but it needs to be understandable to a kid.

I'm looking for a really good foundation that's not sticky and just glides on, with good cover. Any suggestions?

For now I am a stay at home mom. But I love working with children and would love to become a guidance counselor. What schooling do you need? How many years of college. I have heard different things.

I give my 7 month old girl the gerber foods, like bananas, apples, squash, etc... but she has 2 teeth now. I was wondering when i can give her foods like chopped up spaghetti, and soft potatoes?

I want to put a pictures of my daughter on my background for my iPod touch. Howw???

My Boyfriend came home talking about this new version of Lean on me. And i can't find it anywhere.

Can you help?

I had a baby girl in July and she is the light of my life. However, she is starting to rollover and it made me realize that she will be soooo mobile soon. I want to be the kind of mom who will push her on a swing and play with her at the playground. But i'm afraid that if i don't lose weight soon, i won't be able to do that.

I'm joining weight watchers tomorrow morning because it is the only time when my husband is home to watch her (and i get a little me time :) )

How did you lose your pregnancy weight?

I'm joining weight watchers tomorrow morning and I was curios to hear about success stories.

If you have one please share!
