Ok...your post totally cracks me up! I love techie stuff too...like i have my music set up to play wirelessly to my speakers regardless of which computer i'm on or if its connected to anything. However, sometimes I get totally fed up with technology and just want to try the amish way of life. LOL That said, my computer…

Awesome! Good luck with that! And now I want to hook my computer up to my tv....but I fear I'm not that technically savvy. lol

Try playing it in your computer. They often can support multiple regions. And while I"m here...I have a question for you shredders. I recently picked this up as well, but I haven't looked at the dvd yet. I'd like to go home and try it tonight, but I'm wondering if there's anything I need...for example, weights or something…

I don't have any great wisdom, but I know exactly what you're saying. The same thing happens to me. Saturday tends to be my low day and Tuesday tends to be my high day. Of course, I weigh track on my Tuesday weight. grrr. I figure it's the after effects of letting myself have a slightly looser diet on the weekends. But, I…

You might find it helpful to add some "good fat" to your diet to up your calorie intake. Use real olive oil in your salad or on your fresh veggies instead of some other low-cal or low-fat alternative.

I love this! I did the same thing a few months ago and realized that I'd gained approximately 1 pound a month since college. I broke that down further and realized that it was the equivalent of 100 extra calories a day since college. That seems like nothing! 100 measley little calories...but boy does it add up over a…

When I've been as good as that....on plan and exercising, I like to blame the an unbudging scale on fluctations in the earths gravitational pull. =)

mmmm...this is my favorite kind of food!

This sounds great. I look forward to trying it.

I'm in. Gotta do something now that the Vday challenge is over. I'd LIKE to lose 6 lbs, but I think 4 is more likely to happen. lol So, 4 is my goal. now = 200.1 goal = 196.1

Week 0 = 205.8 Week 1 = 205.3 (-.5) Week 2 = 202.1 (-3.2) Week 3 = 201.0 (-1.1) Week 4 = 200.7 (-.3) Week 5 = 200.1 (-.6) I lost 5.7 out of a 6 lb goal. I'm pretty happy with it!

I'm with you! I looked at those pictures, and while the portion sizes could turn my stomach, the food itself sometimes looked good. I know I'll always fight against the pull of pizza and corndogs (mmmm), although I would not eat them together in the same bite. LOL When I go to a diner or buffet, I am sure that no matter…

It takes me a out 15-20 lbs before I really notice a change in my own body (starting from around 200lb). Seems like a long time to wait, but you just have to keep those long term goals in mind.

This is a great visual image. I'll have to keep this in mind when I'm griping to myself about how long it's taking to get back into some of the clothes in my closet.

Sure, the majority of stars are thin. But that doesn't mean that there aren't part for us heavier girls as well. Look at commercials, they use all types of people skinny, fat, pretty, not-so-pretty. lol They're always looking for all types to be extras in films. And, if you're not comfortable taking on acting parts just…

And I'm off to the gym to melt that back fat away!

I hate it. I am ready for it to go away. 'Nuff said.

Week 0 = 205.8 Week 1 = 205.3 (-.5) Week 2 = 202.1 (-3.2) Week 3 = 201.0 (-1.1) Week 4 = 200.7 (-.3) Total lost = -5.1 Almost there! I'd better be good this week! Total Goal = 6

This is a great idea. I wish you luck and will check it often!

Save!

That's GREAT!! I can't wait to get there myself!

Potatoes with tobasco? mmmmm. I love my veggies to have a bit of a kick. I'll have to try that.

I love to cook fresh veggies, but I always seem to season them the same way, and its getting kinda dull. So, I thought I'd see if I could get some new ideas to try. Here's a few of my normal pairings: string beans w/a little bit of curry powder broccoli w/salt & garlic powder cauliflower w/ olive oil and Parmesan cheese…

Week 0 = 205.8 Week 1 = 205.3 (-.5) Week 2 = 202.1 (-3.2) Week 3 = 201.0 (-1.1) Total lost = 4.8 Total Goal = 6

Somebody recently posted some information about how our bodies actually use more calories during our periods for all that "stuff" going on. lol So...perhaps we need a few more calories at that time. We definitely need some extra iron! (preferably not in the form of a big juicy burger, which is usually what i want.)

Oh yes...I totally do. The weird thing is is that after 20 years of having a period (omg. 20 years!), my mood swings and cravings at that time of the month STILL catch me off guard. The joys of being female!

OMG. YUM.
