I made Grape Ice Tea, with ice tea, grape flavoring, and Sweet 'N Low. It was very good, with hardly any calories. I think I will have to make this drink a regular one. Do you have any favorite drinks you make with Sweet 'N Low? Care to share?Donna M.

Kid's Academy is all about helping children learn verbal, writing and math skills in an easy and fun manner. Apps such as 123 Tracing and Bingo ABC have been top-50 educational apps in the App Store, and Kid’s Academy has also brought the well-known stories and nursery rhymes The Three Little Pigs and Five Little Monkeys to life with interactive apps. The simple interfaces of the apps allow children to take the reins and play on their own, but the sing-a-longs and other activities are perfect for parent or teacher engagement, as well. Research has shown that singing along with nursery rhymes has cognitive and physical benefits for children. Not only are children learning new words and the context in which to use them, but strengthening tongue and mouth muscles at an early age will help with pronunciation skills.</div>

I have been on a hiatus from dieting. Not a good thing in any case, but for the past week, I have been trying to get back up on the wagon. I am trying Weight Watchers to help me out this time. I found an app for my Kindle, and it is helping me with my points. I put a link in this post to the app. It says on the link that it is free. If it doesn't say that, I wouldn't purchase it. I am trying to keep myself on track by posting my weight here. But I also need help keepong myself motivated.<br />
<br />
If you feel like giving me a kick in the motivation, I can definitely use it. I am down to 300 pounds. I know, I know, it sounds like I still weigh a whole lot more than I should. In my defense, though, I did start out at 353 pounds. So I have lost 53 pounds. I just got stuck at 300 pounds, and I haven't been able to move either one way or the other for some time now.<br />
<br />
Now I am going to have to keep myself on track for sure, because I am going to be posting here at least once a week.<br />
<br />
I have to try to diet on a budget. This shouldn't be as difficult as I think it will be. Seems like all the healthy foods I can think of are not affordable.<br />
<br />
I could use some ideas on healthy, inexpensive eating. Does anyone have any recipes to share?<br />
<br />
My goal is to get down to 275 pounds by the end of this year. That is 5 pounds a month, which works out to be 1.25 pounds a week.<br />
<br />
I think I should be able to do this, if you help to hold me accountable. I need to stay motivated. <br />
<br />
Do you think I can do it? With your help, maybe I can.Donna M.

After my first pregnancy I gained 60lbs and really struggled to find a way to get it off. Due to the challenges all new moms face as well as having my husband deploy for the next year, 5 months after my son was born, I became very depressed. I found it extremely hard to get myself motivated to want to workout and to lose that weight. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.933332443237305px;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: x-small; line-height: normal;"><br style="line-height: 18.459999084472656px;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.933332443237305px;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: x-small; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #333333;">Then there he was, Shaun T, the man behind Beachbody's Insanity workout, motivating me and telling me I could do it! I decided to ordered the program and it literally changed my life. I dropped all of that extra weight doing the Insanity workouts and it was right before I welcomed my husband home from his year long deployment. I felt and looked better then I did when we got married and I was so excited for him to see the new me. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.933332443237305px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.933332443237305px;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: x-small; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #333333;">Now here it is a few years later and I again found myself in the same situation. Baby number two, not the weight gain I had with first, but an uncomfortable weight gain none the less. And, as before, my husband deploys to Afghanistan for 10 months. So the depression of being alone with now 2 kids and trying to lose weight strikes...I again turned to Beachbody. This time I signed up as a coach because I knew how awesome their products were and I wanted to help others along with trying to help myself. This was the best decision I have ever made! I started the new 21-day fix program along with drinking Shakeology, and successfully lost 10lbs, now I moved to doing Focus T25 and PiYO. I have also made such good friends with people who have consistently motivated me to stay on track with my goals and for that I am so thankful!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: x-small; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #333333;"> I am still on my weight loss and fitness journey but I was able again to welcome my husband home from this deployment to a lighter and firmer me, and that is truly the best feeling! I would love to help those who are wanting to get in shape and lose weight like I did. I have been at that place where it can be hard to get started and sometimes you need someone with the right tools to motivate and point you in the right direction. Let me be your coach and let's do this together!</span></span></div>

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017T09XG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0017T09XG&linkCode=as2&tag=donnseverever-20&linkId=3HX3BRYTE4ZOEZTP"><img border="0" src="http://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B0017T09XG&Format=_SL110_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=donnseverever-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=donnseverever-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0017T09XG" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> Foundation, by Mercedes Lackey, is the first book in the Collegium Chronicles. Mags is no more than a slave at Master Cole Pieters mine in Valdemar. This is the story of how he is rescued from his life of slavery, and brought into the world of Heralds. He meets Herald Jakyr as the Herald who frees him from the mine. His new Companion, Dallen, had called for help in retrieving Mags from the mine.<br />
<br />
I have been reading Mercedes Lackey books almost for as long as she has been writing them. This one did not let me down. The world of Valdemar, with its magical and imaginative people, has always fascinated me. I am almost positive that most girls who have read the Valdemar series had at least one point in time wanted to live in this world. After all, who wouldn't? Magical horses, known as Companions, who talk to you really are 'Companions'. <br />
<br />

<br />
My link goes to the kindle version, but they also have it in paperback hardcover, and audio. If you have read this book and liked it, or even if you didn't, leave me a message telling me your thoughts. I would also appreciate information about any other books in this genre that you think I would enjoy.<br />
