People who say "ok" after every other word you say to them.... it's like constant interruptions without any purpose whatsoever. I'm training someone at work who does this and its driving me crazy!!

Ice cream sundaes!! Hot fudge, whipped creme, the whole nine yards!

Whoever said that the target brand runs small, you are absolutely right!!! I tried on a pair of shorts, and I usually wear a 6/7, and tried the 8 and they wouldn't even go past my hips.... I figure I'd need at least a 12 for them to work for me, but they didn't have that size so i'm not sure.

To answer a few of the comments I've seen, the program is designed to offer a pretty decent amoutn of calories, if I remember correctly, its around 1500-1600. Maybe that's not enough for some people, but that's what I'm eating now so calorie wise this would be doable. To answer why its juiced, the idea is to make the…

I wasn't diagnosed with PCOS, but was told 2 years ago after they did an intravaginal ultrasound (just as unpleasant as it sounds), that I did show some scarring which suggests a history of come cysts. They looked into it becasue I had two periods last year that wouldn't end without medication, and I wanted to know why.…

If you go to the New Rules of Lifting for Women group on here, there is a sticky post with a link to a place that has VERY straight forward excel spreadsheets that lets you track your workouts and has all the moves laid out by stages. It even has a tab where you can enter your stats and get calorie reccommendations based…

I do heavy weights on separate days from intense cardio. I'll do 10-15 minutes warm up on an elliptical or treadmill on days I weight train, but I feel like I get more out of weights or cardio by having them separate. Try it for a few weeks and see how you feel. I know you probably feel like if you do a ton you'll get…

Same here... And they just launched a big fitness inititive, so I think I have a good argument if they ever ask about it!

Any idea if this would work for waffles? I prefer the crispness of waffles over pancakes.

bump for juicer advice

Good luck, have fun!

50 minutes Zumba with one pound hand weights... next week I'm moving it up to 3 pounds!

The book does include some modifications for the moves if you don't have access to a full gym, but I would say that it would be a little more difficult. As you get stronger, you're going to require more equipment (more weight plates etc) than you probably have. But if you don't mind adding some pieces to your home…

I felt like that too when I started mid-january... you'll get used to it! Also, you'll start to notice that many guys are mainly just standing in your way BSing with thier friends ;)

New Rules of Lifting for Women is a book by Lou Schuler, Cassandra Forsythe, and Alwyn Cosgrove. It's promise? LIFT LIKE A MAN, LOOK LIKE A GODDESS. The basic premise is that in order to truly change your body, you have to do real "heavy" lifting, not starve yourself, and that the focus should be on health and strength and…

Best advice ever!

Yes, you can do it! You've already made the first step!

Had anyone seen and liked Repo! The Genetic Opera? Its not geeky per se, but it's dystopian and weird, and I loved it!

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Oh my gosh, I love that show! Particularly the episode where they convince Jen that Stephen Hawking has loaned her The Internet!

LOVE DR HORRIBLE!! I also like Star Wars, super hero movies, dystopian novels, Weird Al, Firely, The Guild, Community, Buffy, Dr. Who and Torchwood, and anything Disney!

He's Californian and never been to In-n-Out?!?!?!?! Blasphemy! Are you military? My husband is Air Force, and lucky us, we got sent to South Dakota... so far from home!

I'm sure you'll get many different opinions on this, but I have been lifting for about 8 weeks now, and I have incorporated a protien supplement into my diet. I use it for recovery, right after lifting. I like that I can flood my system with what it needs to start repairing, and I feel it helps alleviate soreness. I…

@shnazzy: You have the cutest look on your face!

As a displaced Californian heading home in T-minus 3 days, this made me EXTREMELY HAPPY :D

Any and all Apple Products (As in computers, not the food)

Ditto!
