also check your local www.freecycle.org - people often have bikes there that they don't want, but don't want to toss out.

Go to 1 or 2 bike shops and have them fit you for a bike. They should measure you and ask you what you intend to do with it and suggest a particular style. Once you get an idea of what size you need, hit Craigslist and monitor it for bikes. You could probably find something decent on there if you are patient. If nothing…

See a prosthesis maker and have them make you an insert for your shoes. Sounds crazy, but they will make a mold of your foot and then make some inserts that will have you back on your feet in no time. :) Good luck!!

I, I I, I, I work out!!

http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml has a good schedule to use at the bottom of the page. I have an old iPhone and you might be able to use. I'm not sure if there is an app for that program or not, but I ended up getting the www.runkeeper.com app and just manually building the C25K program into it because it…

Thought you might like to read this... its a pretty good synopsis of cholesterol info: http://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/ss/slideshow-cholesterol-overview?ecd=wnl_din_120811

That's as high as I've ever been able to get it. What did he suggest?

It sounds like you are doing most of what you are willing to do to affect it. Again, HDL is typically difficult to influence. What is your HDL? If you don't mind my asking...

Two words: Goodwill. ;) Congrats on having such a dilemma btw!!

What exacerbe said. The HDL is typically difficult to raise.

In my experience, results may vary. For what its worth, I eat mine most of the time, but there are times that I don't. The same with going a couple of thousand calories over the top on some days every couple of weeks. I think you are fine as long as you don't get stuck in any one trend of way too much or way too little.…

Hello WV!! Same here... quit smoking... started exercising and paying attention to what I'm eating. This myfitnesspal thing really makes the difference. Add me if you like AEB_WV. She's wild!

Did you ever hear anything on this? More importantly, did you buy the Captiva? I'm very interested to know if its as cool as they sell it to be. :) Thanks!

Dang Saff!! Look what you started? Who knew there would be so many over weight gamers out there!! Wait... hmmm... can we get caloric burns for tiny hand motions and maybe increased heart rates from losing from time to time??? hehehe... PS3: StreetNameJim

No change. Not bad for the most Birthday party riddled month of the year!! Thanks for the challenge!!

Awesome job Chry!! :) Keep up the good work!

Down = Good

Eggsellent post Amysgetnfit!!! Losing the negativity is a big challenge sometimes. I've had to choose to "unfriend" some peeps on here not because they were bad people, but because they sorta fed a negative mojo that just wasn't helpful to me. It was entertaining fo sho!! But eventually, I just had to hit the delete button…

1 pound down

BoioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioioiG!

No. :) I've been shaving my head since I was 22 because my hair is too thick! I've re-tried hair once or twice since then but after about 5-6 weeks I remember why I shaved it off to begin with.

I prefer the wind blowing through my hair myself... so I've been riding a bike all Summer. Right now its out of commission, so to keep the cardio going, I've been hiking in the woods on the hill behind my house. This might not be as easy to do if you live in a metro area, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the workout.…

I want to give this a shot!! This is my first challenge... thanks for the info!

This will likely result in rapid weight loss of the uncomfortable kind!! :sick:

Welcome and good luck BBWA! You can do it. :)

I like Almonds (raw), chick peas, and black beans myself. Almonds are probably the most compatible with the college lifestyle. :)

WOW!! Someone else has heard of Powerman 5000?? HEhehe... yes, that would be good workout stuff. How about The Pretender by Foo Fighters? Its got a good quick beat and it rocks. :)

Add me!! :)

I like endomondo... add me on there if intersted. :)

Add me!! :) A link to my profile is below. Endomondo rules!!! Maybe we can have a challenge on there since there isn't a formal "challenge" system on here?
