Thanks for the comments that were supportive...I appreciate it!

I am most definitely doing this for me. I guess what I was trying to say I wouldn't offer someone who was trying to quit drinking or smoking a beer, or a cigarette... i am sure I'm somewhat sensitive to it now as well.

sounds yummy! will have to try one as soon as i can taste again, i have a cold! jo

does anyone else out there have horses? when i ride i consider this a pretty intense work out if i'm riding for an hour or so. does this count as a mini work out? (my legs and thighs sure think it does) would love to talk to other members who have/enjoy horses!

i got a bad cold yesterday and didnt feel well enough to exercise. i'm wondering if its better to wait to feel better to exercise or should i atleast walk a couple miles on the treadmill or something. i feel a bit guilty for not working out. i feel a bit better today but who knows how i'll feel after 8 hours of work.…

i only weigh myself at the gym every few days because their scale is SO MUCH better than mine at home. I really dont like weighing myself more than a couple of times a week. How often do you weigh yourself?

i am looking for a good womans daily vitamin. i live close to a GNC so i'm wondering if anyone can make a suggestion. will these be big horse pills? i usually take the centrum chewables cuz i hate swallowing those big pills. also, what do you do with flax seed? can you pour it over cereal? thanks!

i just did it the one time yesterday...after she asked me to go out after work. i am not one to ever starve myself...trust me!! i am trying to make good choices and hopefully lose the weight i want to lose along the way. i have been exercising regularly and have just been living a healthier lifestyle all the way around. i…

i am trying to lose about 13 lbs. i do tend to feel a bit light headed if i dont have a granola bar or something in between meals. i am apparently within my ideal weight range already but i would like to be on the lower end of it. maybe i need to switch to losing a lb a week? thanks for all your encouragement and…

I have been doing so good on exercising and counting calories but yesterday a coworker and i went out for a drink and some tortilla soup. I think the soup was an ok option because it doesnt seem to be extremely high in calories, but i ended up blowing my calorie allowance even after i starved myself all day ( i had an…

is there a list of foods that people think are healthy that are actually not?
