Wow really carseats are costing like 200 dollars now adays? No way I love my baby but I think a walmart or Kmart carseat is just as good and my gues would be at 7 monthes none of the other babies at daycare are gonna say, " oh my god Olivia has a Walmart carseat, shes so not cool everyone ignore her ok. " Yep I am to poor for that but oh well She has us and thats way cooler than a fancy carseat any day. Her ifant carseat stroller combo cost me 40 bucks on clearance at kmart. H E L L yeah what a deal huh? I am all for bargain shopping, more money left for the needed stuff like diapers and food.

OMG, Abby has a walmart carseat and stroller too. maybe they can be ignored together!!! LOL You're silly Chariti!! But no, I totally understand where you are coming from. With 5 kids, a mortgage, 2 cars, daycare, FOOD enough for my husbands Army unit (seriously, my kids eat way to much, I'm thinking about alternating days on who can eat), and all the other d**n bills, it seems like even though we make decent money, there isn't anything left after the bills are paid. Or maybe there is and my husband just doesn't tell me!! I don't know...
And also, ya'll still have kmarts up there? Man they went out of business in most place down in this area a long time ago... hhhmmm....

we have a sams here also but I rarely go, I hate having to pay a member fee to shop. I had a safeway in washingtom Tamara, I loved that store it was way cheap. My options there were safeway and Rosaurs by my house ans rosaurs was expensive.

Yea..i dont have a costco card or anything. We never have the extra money to buy a membership. Well....we do, but we'd rather spend it on OTHER things. All my money mainly goes to kids, and bills. I don't think I've bought any clothes for myself in about 3 years. The last clothes I got NEW was when my MIL sent me a giftcard to buy some "summer" clothes...for our trip to Florida. Otherwise I probably would have been wearing snow boots, jeans...and hoodies to Disneyworld

Geez!!!! You LOST 58 lbs? ? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS! I am SO unhappy with myself right now. Gosh, when I had Mya...i fit into my same tight jeans, the day i left the hospital. I had my body back in like...a day. I was also 19. Not that 24 is old, but my body didn't take this pregnancy as well as my last. I'm about 5-7 lbs heavier than normal. I have the little tummy pooch. Its so frustrating. I gained about 14-16 lbs with Brooklyn....11 with Mya. I figured itd come off quick again. Not so much! Its really hard to exercise here too. Its been raining non stop...I can't exactly take Mya and Brookie in the rain so I can run. Can't afford a gym membership right now (dont have the time to go even if i wanted to anyways!!!) I am not happy with myself at all. I dont think I'm FAT, but I'm not comfortable. I'd like to lose about 10-15 lbs. Sounds easy enough, but its not at all.

I don't know how I did it, I just kept dropping weight. It was nice but I don't know why it happened, I know reducing my carbs because of gestational diabetes but that only helped with about 30 pounds of it.

I used to not eat ANY carbs....now I do in small amounts. I havent eaten pasta in like...10 years. I don't eat white bread...only wheat. I dont eat a whole lot of candy....I'm actually a real health nut. I eat TONS AND TONS of vegetables. Thats pretty much what i live on....not because of weight, but because i like them. I'm allergic to eggs, so i cant eat cake, brownies, etc. Its so frustrating that i cant lose those last few pounds. I think most of it is just that i need to TONE UP. I need to get more exercise than I do.
