    I'm going to answer this while I have the opportunity...getting busy at work so need to reduce the amount of time I check MFP during the day:

    I love audiobooks (not a big fan of sappy romance novels...LOL)

    As far as movies...I like quite a few different types, but horror would be at the top of the list. Here are a few of my favorite movies:

    - The Notebook
    - All the Twilight movies (TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY!)
    - Ten Things I Hate About You
    - Pirates of the Caribbean
    - Harry Potter

    I can watch some movies over and over and over...LOL

    I'm also going to reply early since I'm not sure what my schedule's like tomorrow. I prefer a good book to a movie, and read a lot of science fiction and fantasy. My favourite books are The Kingkiller Chronicles, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and Ender's Game.

    It's tough to choose favourites, but the movies I can watch over and over are Shawshank Redemption, Almost Famous, and the Princess Bride. I also really like Star Wars (OT) and LOTR.

    I like books like the Stookie Stackhouse series and the House of Night Series. Also books by Gena Showalter. Anything of that nature. I have a few favorite movies. One movie is an old one called Tuff Turf.

    I prefer reading fiction over watching movies. Some of my favorite authors are Jodi Picoult, James Patterson, Lauren Weisberger, John Grisham, and Danielle Steel. Some of my favorite books are "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" trilogy by Stieg Larsson.

    Movies that I could watch over and over again - "Pretty Woman," "First Wives Club," "Sex and the City" (the first one), "Office Space," and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." As you can see, I usually prefer "chick flicks."

    QOTD: What is your favorite movie or book if your the reading type? Do you prefer romance comedy , thriller, horror, insprirational ect...?

    My favorite genre is science-fiction. It doesn't matter whether it's a book (I love to read) or a movie, I just love sci-fi. I guess I like that it just gives you something different to think about. My second favorite genre is romantic comedy. I don't read romance novels, but I love a good chick flick. My favorite all-time book is 1984 by George Orwell. All-time favorite movies are The Matrix and Walk the Line (which I would argue is a romance). Great QOTD today!
    I'm excited about tying for the biggest Red Diamond loss this week. I had a big dinner Thursday night (lots of sodium), so I weighed myself Saturday figuring I had actually lost a little more than what I reported. I was down another 1.2 :D. It seems I am over my little plateau.
    Great job ladies!!! Let's keep shining!!

    QOTD: What is your favorite movie or book if your the reading type?

    As far as movies, I love fantasy. Anything along the lines of Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc. My favorite actor is Alan Rickman so any movie with him is a favorite... :) Also, comedies. I love to laugh!

    As books go, I love to read. I just got a kindle to support my habit! I like what I call "beach reads", stuff like sex and the city or Chelsea Handler novels....the "woman on the loose" kind I guess... but I will read anything. My favorite book is The Bell Jar, about a woman's struggle with depression. I'm reading a book now about a girl who tastes emotions in food. I'm about to start reading some classics, which I'm excited about!

    My favourite movie is probably Silience of the Lambs... an oldie but a goodie. I love most films with Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in them.

    Book wise I like true stories so usually some autobiography or diaster story!

    I love dramas, romantic comedies, anything that has an interesting storyline except horror movies. I can't watch horrors at all. One of my favorite movies is Love and Basketball. As far as books, I like books with a lot of drama or books about relationships.

    QOTD: What is your favorite movie or book if your the reading type? Do you prefer romance comedy , thriller, horror, insprirational ect...?


    I love to read! My favorite authors are Danielle Steel, John Grisham, Donna Leon and Sophie Kinsella. I also enjoyed reading the Twilight Saga and Harry Potter. Besides that I also like to read about true stories (biographies or autobiographies), for example the books from Choga Regina Egbeme or Waris Dirie. I'll have two weeks off work, starting the next weekend and I plan to read the Millenium Trilogy from Stieg Larsson.

    My favorite movies are romatic comedies, thrillers and animation movies (e.g. cars, the smurfs,...). I also like to watch Harry Potter, Twilight and action movies. I also like all the "chick flicks".

    My favorite book is called A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid. It's a quick read and incredibly provocative. It tells a story of the people of Antigua. I highly recommend it for a short but dynamic read.

    I honestly don't know....Movies wise, I like musicals, action movies, romance.....anything except horror and just plain stupid movies. Book wise....hmmmm...I used to like true crime novels.

    I honestly haven't watched many movies or read many books lately - I really need to do so!

    BTW, sorry I haven't posted much - work has been extra busy since returning from holidays! Ugg! Stressed!!!!!

    Okay, I'm not sure who is responsible for today's QOTD, but since we don't have one yet I will post one...hope no one minds :happy:

    Since you have started using MFP...what are some new exercises or group fitness classes you have tried? Did you like them? Would you recommend them to your friends and fellow Little Diamonds?


    For me...I did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and would definitely recommend it :bigsmile: ! I hope to do it again in the near future.

    Alright, I admit it... I loathe exercise. That's right, loathe. I workout every day, but I have yet to find anything I really truly enjoy. So far, I have done/am doing: c210k, JM's 30DS, Wii Zumba, Just Dance 2, 10min solutions Hip Hop Abs, a variety of Netflix videos, and exercise.com (free online exercise videos!). My "favorites" (if you could really call them that, lol) are c210k, Just Dance 2, and exercise.com. 30DS is good too if you like to be punished, lol. When school starts back next week, I'm going to look into the workout program my district offers. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll just keep looking. :grumble:

    Every DVD I have used is new. The most recent one is Zumba. I would recommend all the DVDs that I use.
