^^^ :) This. Because I have a husband who is fighting stage 4 metastatic cancer, I try to give him all the nutritional support he needs to maintain his weight. So, he likes late night snacks, because he has trouble sleeping. If he's not sleeping, chances are I'm not, so I budget in a snack into my calorie count. If I go…

I'd love some new friends who know what it's like to lose, then gain and have to start over. It's been a long struggle for me for most of my adult life, but now that I'm almost at the "halfway" point, my health is more important than ever. Feel free to add me! I don't share my diary out of personal preference ( I had…

I like to read a variety of styles: Southern Gothic (nobody does this better than Faulkner or O'Connor), mystery/thriller/ classic. I also try to fit in at least one non-fiction such as biography or history. I also subscribe to Writer's Digest, just for tips, tricks, and very informative articles on the industry as well as…

I have to say this is a most entertaining thread. And, if it's not meant to be, I, er, apOL-ER-gize....

^^^This. I am a Diet Coke addict. I drink water all day (usually 12-14 glasses) and I have ONE Diet Coke at the end of the day with my evening meal. If I can't hold out til then, I just get one and then drink water in the evening. I used to drink 4-6 cans daily. Now down to one. Not sure I can do without the one. :)

Well said.:drinker:

Being a Southerner, (and yes, I did mean to capitalize it) I can assure you all that the correct contraction of you all is, in fact, y'all. Y'll have a nice, loose day.

Me too.

Thank you for your imput. All suggestions are very valuable to me as a noob to weight training. Wow, 60 pounds lost....amazing!!

Thank for your advice. I do appreciate it. I think this will work!

Again, thanks for the advice. I'm not sure why my trainer set me up on all these machines. I like the idea of alternating stations. And I am really trying to not feel so intimidated about free weights. The only gym in the small town I live in is very much a man's world when it comes to the gym. I just got used to being the…

Captain, thanks for the links as well.

Sorry, posted before I saw this response. Thank you. That's great advice. I was just curious as to why I seemed to be able to follow one after another and other days not. The push/pull post also helped. I also plan to purchase those books mentioned as well.

Maybe I'm not understanding "full body routine" correctly. I am assuming that chest press, chest incline, lats, shoulders, triceps extensions, bicep curls, row, back, vertical, leg press, ab machine, leg curl, leg extension, thigh press if a full body workout, all of which I do on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

I do a full workout three days a week. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I just START with my upper body. I would probably be comfortable with dumbbells.

bump....come on guys...help a girl out here!!!

Or how about this: the hero in the movie can pulverize every single muscled up, heavyweight, judo champion that comes along, but almost gets his behind pummeled beyond recognition by the 140 pound weakling mastermind villain. Really????

I am a nurse so.l..movies or television shows that inaccurately portray medical situations. Nothing specific comes to mind, but I used to go NUTS when watching St. Elsewhere, Chicago Hope, and ER. Great dramas, but some of the situations....not. The worst....HawthoRNe. Awful, awful, awful. Jada Pinkett Smith's mom (who is…

You're not drinking enough water. :drinker:
