Thanks for the replies. I have lost 78# so far, but my loss has actually slowed since becoming vegan. I have added in weights to my routine in the last 3 weeks, but I am not power lifitng or anything LOL. The last 3 weeks I have been cleaning houses though. For instance, Friday I walked for 45 min, then did weights and then went and cleaned for a solid 5 hours. Could that be part of it? I have been regular since day 1 so I am curious. Not really worried just wondering whats up.

If you were NOT always vegan/vegetarian, did it mess with your cycles when you switched? I am late and got 2 negative pregnancy test so I am wondering whats up. Thanks.

Same here.

he is asleep! Ahhhhhhh peace and quiet. It's so strange LOL :D

My 9th grader is using Henle and I don't dislike it, but when my younger kids finish LC II next year I am thinking of using Latin in the Christian Trivium afterwards.

Thanks!

Who is reading, but not a strong reader. I'd be doing it with him, but would this be a good fit for him? I want somethign simple and easy to do 2X a week. Thanks!

He is getting to be such a big boy *sigh*. Doesn;t seem possible that he is 3 aleady. :(

Waving to you all :D

I have been looking at this as an alternative to TOG, but I couldn't get a feel if it would be deep enough for highschool. Anyone use this for grades 9-12? Please share how it's working for you if you are using this.

We don't really take any medicines regularly except I take thyroid meds daily and I take a variety of supplements. I keep medicines and first aid kit in a cabinet in the kitchen.

I was 267# in Feb 07 and as of Monday I am 189.3. My goal is 140 # and I'd love to hit it before my 40th birthday in October! I am also a member of sparkpeople and it really helps me to keep in line. I started losing by eating low fat, whole grains and very little to no sugar. Since I hit the 65# mark I switched to vegan/whole foods and am hoping to continue that path. I try to walk 45 minutes 6 days a week and do strength training 3 days a week.

My 2nd grader is using both SWR and ETC because he likes the workbooks and he needs extra help. I don't think it's needed, but the workbooks are cheap and fun.

I have 10 dc ages 19, 17, 16, 15, 13, 11, 9, 8, 4 and 3. I have been HSing since 2001 and found wtm mid year the first year and switched to it fall 2002. My oldest 2 age graduated and the oldest is currently in college and the next heads in August.

Susan, If an 7th grader had weak witing skils, would you have them start in book 1 or book 2 anyhow?

I switched to vegan for health, but my family is eating that way a few times a week mostly to save money.

I try to do most of my errands in 1 trip too, not just for gas though, but to save time. I am getting about 1.5 weeks per tank ( @$90 a fill up)

LOL I didn't even notice, but I did know what you meant :)

Penny, I am so glad to hear your son is doing well! I had wondered how thigns were going this year. I am hoping we have some good news to share soon too!

We had a hot tub and that worked wonderful! If we have another baby I am going to rent an aquadoula as we no longer have a HT :( LOL http://www.aquadoula.com/

My last baby was a home birth and I wish I had done it with the others. It was so peaceful and amazing! The other ladies have given you alot of great advice, I just wanted to say you will love having your baby at home!
