I am an "almost 30, happily married, mother of one." I work full-time and enjoy spending time and caring for my husband and my 18 month old son. We are a very socially active family and spend a lot of time running around. My husband has currently been made aware of his borderline high cholesterol and I am currently trying to get him to cooperate on a diet designed to rectify this issue. In the meantime, I am carrying a lot of my baby-weight/careless pounds recently added. We want to have more children in the near future and I would like to get back into shape before getting pregnant again. In addition I turn 30 in 3 months and i would like to start the decade of right!! :) "30 and in the 130's!!!" :) So wish me luck, Willpower, and Focus!! :)

Is the weather an important factor?
But you stoked my curiosity so I went to "ask.com" got a bunch of mixed answers but seems like the more credible responses leaned towards "you burn more calories in the hot weather than in the cold however when resting in cold temperatures you burn more calories than in hot." lol hope this helps a little!

Seems to me that you may burn a few more calories running in cold weather than warm. Check out this article:

Food scale?
This is a silly reply but I LOVE mine. I don't recall it being to pricey. HOWEVER, I am at work and can't tell you right now what brand it is. lol I will post tonight. Very Happy

Thanks, I think you both are right... its just funny how our minds work against us sometimes. I am taking the negative thoughts and turning them into motivation...
