I delayed vaxing my daughter until 4 months, then I allowed 3 vaccines, then I did some more research and regretted that and now I am not allowing any other vaccines to be given to her and any future children of mine. But, I'm not sure...

Has anyone had success losing weight with juicing? I just bought a juicer and am thinking of replacing my breakfast meal with a vegetable/fruit juice, and maybe perhaps my lunch as well... or maybe a juice for lunch with a salad or...

Thanks for your thoughts! I actually just got my period last week, so I'm happy about that. I'm still nursing and haven't done a thing to try to wean yet. I am reconsidering when I should start. I don't feel ready myself, but am...
