Hi everyone! I am a mini horse lover and I am considering adding a mini donkey (or two) to my small herd. I am trying to find out how they are different from horses? Has anyone here raised them? Are they dangerous to have around other pets? (cats, dogs, goats) Do they train and bond in a way...

Hi All, My 4mo old has gooey eyes. No other symptoms, no snotty nose or loss of appetite, just yucky eyes??? I hate to take him all the way to the Vet if it will just pass but I am paranoid since he is so young. I want to make sure he's OK. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'd appreciate any...

Hi, the lameness issue sounds a little like founder. when you wrap your hand around the coronet band is it hot, or warm? Have you changed his feed recently or added sweet feed? I had an issue with a full size horse bucking at me every time I let her out and it got dangerous so I had to resort...

CONGRATS ADAIR!!! I'm feeling like I'll never be there. Melinda, I'll be praying for more than just your weight during the hurricane! We will be near there also (visiting Guyton Georgia and Hilton Head Island) so fingers crossed, figures I plan my vacation during a major hurricane. Bevann, I'm...

Hi all, Love your pictures melinda! I can't wait for my clothes to be loose. I've only lost 5lbs but I swear my jeans feel a bit better already. I too am going to start doing the meatless day (or two) each week. I'm going to try to attach a pic of my new mini, we brought him home in our car.

Wow that's awesome! 4.5 lbs!! That's like 4 weeks of work for me. I don't even want to weigh in this week I spent the weekend in the car driving to Nebraska and back and to pick up a new little horse. My eating habits were not stellar. I've got some catching up to do by Friday. Congrats again...

Thanks for the advice and encouragement. It's nice to know I'm not alone. I love cheese and try to be very careful about how much I allow myself, I'll have to try the laughing cow.

I'm super disappointed this week. I gained 1lb. I was really good. I don't understand. I think I need weight watchers? I'm going to weigh again tomorrow since I did have a salty day ( had egg white's with salt, and got a little carried away with the salt) yesterday so I'm hoping it's a...

Oh, please be careful, my Ex Sister-in-Law had a tummy tuck that went wrong, she got an infection and almost died. I would like to look better but nothing is worth what she went through. I shutter when ever I hear of someone thinking of surgery. I hope you win Lottery, but chose not to have...

It's frustrating that it is SOOO easy to gain 2.5 lbs but so hard to lose it. We still have a long way to catch up with you Mona, on your loss. Just please don't do what I did and let one week off turn into 3years off (and 70 lbs over weight)

Your Success motivates me! My husband is not happy with the "lifestyle changes" I've been making, such as skim milk, and other calorie cutting changes I've been making. But we BOTH need a healthier diet/weight and need less fat in our diets. I guess I just need to ease him into it a bit more...

Too funny!

Weighed in today, Yippee, my first week with a 2lb loss I don't mind losing 1lb a week but having a 2lb week was really nice. I'm feeling good. Trying not to focus on the 70-80 lbs I need to lose.

Your right Adair, it takes very little to go from losing to maintaining (then heaven forbid..gaining), just a few little snacks can really throw the whole week. As for the baggy pants... I sure would love to have a little more "baggy" in my jeans! right now there full of bum. I went to my first...

Thanks Adair, my fingers are crossed for your weigh-in tomorrow. YAY for your will power, Ice Cream is a tough one! my husband stopped at DQ the other day after a horse show but I was able to pass. (that's a first for me, he's my enabler) So YAY for us!! I've learned that one slip-up can ruin...
