The scariest part is that the girl in that picture really thought she looked good that morning. She was probably like, "This graduation/sorority picture is going to look absolutely timeless and beautiful."

[/quote] What are ya gonna say next? That parachute pants went "out" too? [/quote] OMG... Zooba pants or whatever they were called. Those Tiger Striped pants? In the midwest the Bears and Packers Zooba pants were huge. There is a man who works out EVERY MORNING in my gym in Packers Zooba pants. I feel bad for his trainer,…

Wow. That picture is amazing.

That is when you curl your bangs and tease them up all big and then sray them with cement hold hair spray so they don't move. When all is said and done, your bangs usually look like a hair donut is plastered to the top of your forehead.

I believe that is who is playing over and over again on the TV's in the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin. Paul Rudd's character threatens suicide if the manager doesn't turn it off.

Oh man, 80's music is awesome. In the Chicago area we have this AWESOME 80's cover band we go and see all the time called 16 Candles. (www.sixteencandlesband.com) Go check out their website, I'm pretty sure they have songs on there you can listen to.

Okay, fess up. What is the one completely dated style that you still try to wear/do? Everyone wore Doc Martin shoes when I was in high school. Maybe its because I bought all 6 pair of mine with my own money (they are $100 a pair!), but I just can't throw them away. And I'm wearing them today. There is a high school down…

Aww... thanks! That was a year ago, almost exactly. 1 year anniversary is on Tuesday. Time sure flies!

OMG ME TOO! This is one of my favorite songs.... Have you ever played the Thunderstruck drinking game? :drinker:

My husband is being inducted into his High School's athletic hall of fame at their homecoming game tonight. This year is his 10 year class reunion as well. I have to say I am more excited than him because I'm MORBIDLY CURIOUS to finally meet all the girls he always had crushes on, or turned him down for dances and such…

Right, and the problem right now is that the banks are so backed up with bad debt that they aren't going to be able to lend any money. So the bail out plan was supposed to buy up the bad debt, so that banks could continue lending to consumers. The problem (in my humble opinion) is that the politicians are only looking at…

Its amazing to say, but I have finally beat my addiction to caffeine. I started drinking coffee when I was 11 years old. That summer my mom (a teacher and TOTAL coffee addict) broke her ankle. Every morning I would help her get up and dressed and out to the kitchen table, and then would make her a pot of coffee. It didn't…

It made a ton. My huband and I were amazed. I would say I had like 1.5 servings and I was FULL. One serving of just the rice would be a cup. Looking at the amount in the casserole dish and mentally dividing it up it seems like a serving would be about 1.5 cups.

Ugh! So I'm in a very male oriented industry. So when I go to morning networking meetings (twice a week) we of course eat at places that serve nothing even mildly healthy. The best I can do is order egg whites and a side of fruit, to which the others in the room laugh and rub their bellies and say things like, "That…

I was on the patch for 5 years and loved it. No weight gain at all. No emotional rollacoaster for me either. Which was in stark contrast to Ortho Tri Cyclin. On the down side, after 5 years I started having numbness and tingling in my legs, and I passe dout twice at the gym. It was the only perscription I was on and so I…

I have to agree with the previous posts. I used to have a strapless one and it was pointless. It told me the same general information that the treatmill told me. Then when I invested in the one with the strap I was AMAZED at the number of calories I was actually burning. Its watching those calories burn up on the watch…

I had my gallbladder removed when I was 21 and my doctor pretty much ordered me to lose weight. I had been eating alot of greasy icky college dining hall food, which lead my cholestorol to be high, causing the gall stones. ANYWHO... I tried normal calorie counting and it didn't work well for me. Which was off because it…

No, we're from a city about 90 miles northwest of Chicago. Right now she's living in Dallas. She went to the Priscilla Store down there. Ridiculously expensive stuff. I got my dress at David's Bridal, had it altered a bit to be unique, and I get complements all the time. It makes me laugh when girls spend THOUSANDS on…

I :heart: Legally Blonde

So my BFF's wedding is in 6 weeks and of course I am a bridesmaid. Our dresses are okay, but just typical tea length bridemaids dresses. (Although she insistes they are SOOOO CUTE and that we'll be able to wear the again. Blah blah blah...) She picks them out at Priscilla of Boston, and with taxes and shipping they come to…

"I got bangs! My hair is so now!" Name the movie... But I really did get bangs, cut off three inches of dead ends, and bleached it out! I:heart: Summer Hair!

Oh man, speaking of seasonal coffee... the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks are amazing. I get so excited on the first day of fall to run down to the Starbucks a few doors down and order one. YUMMY! Uh oh, now I have a craving for the pumpkin spice goodness and I couldn't get one if I wanted one right now!! :grumble:

As the daughter of a librarian and a total research geek I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! I actually had a trainer who said you didn't need to do strenuous cardio to lose weight. All she ever did was the stair climber for like 10 minutes and lift weights. And no crunches or situps. She used this same exact program for every one of…

We have this local place right behind our house that makes the most amazing buffalo wings. I was sitting outside on my deck eating lunch today and letting the puppy play in the yard, and I just kept taking deep inhales to suck in the yummy, greasy smell. Soooooo delicious. And they have sweet potato fries there. I miss it…

I've been drinking them for years. I got started on them when I was doing the South Beach Diet a few years back. VERY yummy! Bottoms up! :drinker:

Blah... you pay all this money because the beading looks intricate and then when it arrives it looks like they just used a bedazzler. I'm all about making my own costumes. If I knew my husband wouldn't kill me I would post a picture of me in my "Dirty Dorothy" (Wizard of Oz) costume I made when I was in college. But I…

OMG! I :heart: BEER! I was a good girl and never drank until college. So where I was in WV, we always drank Natty Lite (Natural Lite) because it was super cheap-o. And if we were feeling fancy, we'd get Bud Lite. My husband says I like my beer to be the color of cat pee. Which is pretty disgusting, but true that I hate…

Just use your HRM. Its so much easier. Especially because things vary. Like one day in my spin class I'll burn 850 calories, and then at the next one I'll only burn like 550. And both are an hour long. But if I put spinning and the time into this thing, it'll pump out the same number of calories all the time.
