that term is right up there with Cougar. it depends on the context it's used, if i find it offensive or not. Usually it's a pretty funny comment, so I don't get bothered by it :)

I stake a standard multi, fish oil and vitamin D (because I'm a sunblock goddess)

I hate that! I've never been able to wear corduroy either! Have you seen the magazine ads for the anti-chafing cream? it shows a bunch of fat people being active. I can't decide if i'm offended by it or not :) You can add me if you like - i'll be your anti-friction pal!

of course, how could I forget Taps? My grandfather died at 89 years old - he fought in WWII and the Korean War and was buried with full military honors. It was one of the few times i've seen my dad cry. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. It was beautiful in a sad way.

and this one too: Fix You by Coldplay When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste…

THIS! a few years ago I lost a friend to cancer (she was only 42) and this was played at her memorial. She lived her life the way the song suggests.

i use a trainer and i love/hate him :) When we started I told him what I wanted, and what I thought I could do. I was also honest with him and told him that I need something to push me, but not so tough that I'll feel like a big stupid fatty and get pissed. I cannot afford to go all the time, so I meet with him two days a…

I know what you mean - i am that fat girl at the gym. But, I hooked up with a trainer early on who I check in with once a month and he gives me new/harder/different circuits to do for the next month. Today I had a tank top on and one of the other trainers came up to me, introduced himself, and told me that he's seen how…

Do any of you have armbands? I'm a little nervous about what my band will look like...so far so good, but i still have a ways to go.

all of your numbers reset every night at midnight. it can hold up to 3 days of data without syncing. Are you at your home computer each day? That's where you will sync it. the charging station also acts as a sort of syncing antenna - you will only sync with computers that have one of these things attached.

So everyone is going to tell you that their brand of shoe is the best. Here's how I decide (what I just did today) what kind to get. go to a shoe store that carries a ton of different brands. Foot Locker, Sporting goods store, DSW, whatever. Find a shoe you like, put it on your right foot. Find another shoe you like and…

I <3 my fitbit. just be careful where you put it when you do hardcore sweating. I have killed a couple that way.

Look below this post at my ticker. part of what got me there is white rice, white bread, potatoes, etc. you get the idea. However those three things listed above are a small portion of my overall intake.

Hey Print, Welcome to the nut-house :) There will be tons of information on these boards and everyone has an opinion, don't be overwhelmed. Talk to me about xbox live games...our family got an xbox 360/kinect for christmas and I haven't really played it, it's mostly for the kids. But if you're saying there are exercise…

I will tell you what I do...some people do it differently, but i'm efficient (lazy) and have Fitbit log most of my exercise. first of all, Fitbit numbers will be slightly different from MFP because the Fitbit will give you calories burned for just existing today. Hence the 25 calories while sitting on the couch arm.…

So true! I foster dogs for a local organization and I think of my adopted fosters as much of a success story as my kid's achievements!

I agree with this. it is worse, like he's one step away from hiring a hooker, you know? If it were me, I would send him packing, but it's easy for me as an outsider to say this. would either of you be open to couples counselling? If you stay together, this is a HUGE issue that needs addressed.

THIS! I have lost 34lbs since the beginning of February and I'm not starving at all. Just working out like a maniac at the gym and making smart food choices with tons of veggies.

use fake blood and a chainsaw, zombie style :)

this! LOL at your son and his butt :)

I use the Dove stick, works well and keeps the razor burn at bay, which i've had with other brands. that, and they sell it at Costco, so it's a win-win! :)

I have had xrays, and they were clean. my chiropractor pushed around on my butt and it turns out there is just a giant knot in my peraforma muscle that won't go away. thanks for all the opinions!

Just this week I had to buy new bras because mine were getting roomy! you can do it - just think, brand new underthings!!!

I've wondered about yoga - we have netflix on the wii so I'll give that a shot! and I just saw one of those waist slimming belts at Ross the other day, maybe I'll try that too. I'll try anything at this point. thanks!

I know it doesn't sound like much, but average it out and it's like 2.5 lbs a week, that's awesome! that puts you down 30 lbs total at the end of June - does that sound better? :D

I actually have the cover by Orgy on my playlist because it's a little harder :)

I know that I look better than I did, but I can't wrap my head around how much better I look. I see myself naked, I know how much further I have to go.

Who Are You - The Who All Fired Up - Pat Benatar Strangelove - Depeche Mode Standing - VNV Nation Wish - Nine Inch Nails Live Before You Die - Social Distortion Poundcake - Van Halen Bombs Over Baghdad - Outkast The Kilburn High Road - Flogging Molly Strip - Adam Ant Ground - Assemblage 23 Find Your Way - Authority Zero…

Well MY trainer says to do 20-30 minutes of cardio (treadmill or elliptical my choice) to get warmed up, then move on to the harder stuff. so there :p *edited for poor spelling*

I heard somewhere (dunno where) that twice a day is healthy. I've also heard that once a day is the norm. with that being said, you need to talk to your doctor, add some apple juice into your diet or something. Are you on any medications? Have you tried taking a stool softener? After I had my son I didn't go for 4 days and…
