  • Yeah, depends on the person's preference. Mine - I love jogging with my dogs. They get exercise, I get exercise, everybody wins. I find that when I'm either traveling or something and my option is a gym with a treadmill instead of running outside; I get bored really easy with the treadmill. I do intervals of jogging and…
  • Hmmm... the ones we've hit on the DVR (past and present are): Star Trek - Next Generation (I'll usually watch it whenever its on) Big Bang Theory Psych How I met your Mother I used to be fat (I love that show) My Strange Addiction Pioneer Woman The Colbert Report The Soup Community LOST (until we watched all the seasons; I…
  • oOoOooOooOOOoooo.... I just made a new cardio playlist a few weeks ago: Awolnation - Sail Florence & the Machine - Shake it out Florence & the Machine - Cosmic Love Lana Del Rey - Born to Die Lana Del Rey - Ride Crystal Castles - Not in Love Deadmau5 - Ghosts n Stuff Breathe Carolina - Blackout TV on the Radio - Staring at…
  • I"m sure you'll get a lot more hits on this - but I snack a lot and it keeps my from feeling hungry. A lot of fruits and veges, greek yogurts, things with a good amount of protien in them work pretty good. Water and green tea seem to work pretty well for me, too.
  • Bump - cuz I never get tired of reading these types of posts... Very informative :)
  • My main one lately is instant cream of wheat, from the packet, made w/ 1% milk. I just make it in the microwave, then use 1 splenda packet and a couple shakes of cinnamon... Pretty good, and I can make it at work when I start getting hungry about 10am...
  • Yes. I'm assuming OP is diabetic? My husband is on it; and he's lost about 10 lbs in a little over a month. Also was just diagnosed, so he has completely cut out all sweets and unnecessary sugars.
  • Only thing that really bugs me is when people leave a puddle of back sweat on the machines and walk away like they don't see it. OR - totally forgot deodorant that day. I also hate when there's a 1 hr long line for zumba... But I got royally ripped for being "unsupportive to my fellow gym-goers" for that one; so I'm kindly…
  • OoOOOOoooo.... I love Trader Joe's. I have specific things that I tend to frequently get there as staples for my kitchen... - Chile Lime Chicken burgers - chicken sausages... all of them are good... andiolle, jalepeno, garlic, etc... - frozen quinoa melange - frozen rice, both brown and the jazmine - chicken enchiladas…
  • I have a couple mixes... but typically I use Pandora. I love it. I've probably got at least 25 stations on there - depending on my mood. They even have a Twilight pre-made station... For when I feel like a 13 year old girl. Which is often. lately.
  • Yep. Chances are about 95% that if I don't get my butt up at 5am (latest), and I don't work out in the morning; I won't do it later in the day. Like a lot of other people have said on here... I find that on days that I make sure to get up and do my exercises (I alternate between C25K with with my dogs, 3 mile walks with…
  • BAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! Nice. :heart:
  • OOoOOOOoooo! Good topic! I'm gonna creep on this thread to squeeze out any usefull tidbits :). I opted out of the PT sessions when I bought my gym membership...
  • I really liked Beauty and the Geek, too. The first time they did it (not sure if it had subsequent runnings...)...
  • Ivan and Genevieve are going to duke it out as the real final two. I can feel it. And yes, Danielle can suck it. Ah man, but no one was worse than Alana... I couldn't wait for her to get booted.
  • I LOVE this one. I was passed it the other day; and it's awesome. I am only one, But still I am one, I cannot do everything, But still I can do something; And becaue I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. - Edward Everett Hale I think about it in terms of helping others, it was…
  • Whoa. I'm bumping this for later... You guys are AWESOME. :)
  • Yeah, mine does that 00 crap every once and awhile too. It'll work fine for a week or two, them BOOM - I can't get it to quit doing that. When it starts that in the beginning of my workout this is what I do: Take the strat off, take the transmitter off the strap. Get the strap wet again (couple seconds under faucet each…
  • AJ_Pete is steamy. So if you request an add, you would be steam friends. :drinker: I got that wrong, didn't I?
  • Not sure if it affects weight loss directly; but it can affect your health and insulin levels. My husband regularly downs about 4 liters of diet coke a day... well, he did. He stopped it officially last Thursday. He only stopped, because his left-side was feeling sore and fatigued, so he went to the dr and has tons of…
  • BAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!! Ditto :grumble: Forgive me MFP, for i have sinned... Almost all of my diary entries end with the words "F**k you, sodium". And I mean it. Every time.
  • Yep. Started out C25K at about 260. I'm down in the 220's now, and you can really feel the difference. AND, when I do jumping jacks. Good shoes, good sports bra, and my favorite pants to wear for jogging are these ones that have that slick(er) bicycle short type material. Helps with the thighs, if thats a problem at all...…
  • Ok, I'll join in... You know what's lame to me nowadays? The shirts that they are coming out with that are a LOT shorter in the front than they are in the back. Target has a lot of shirts that are guilty of this right now... The front is a good 6 inches shorter than the back. I mean... If I had a six-pack; I probably…
  • - I can close my ear canals. - my favorite candy is Bit-o-honey's - I can't stand having fake nails, but I LOVE the smell of the gel they use for acrylic fills - seeing stray dogs makes me cry. Boy, I sure sound like a winner :) haha! :happy:
  • Same here. And Instagram.
  • Yes, yes and YES. a couple days out of the month I get really exhausted, emotional, etc... Most days are good; but I, too, have those times where it just seems extreamly difficult keep my mind focused on "healthy, happy, Brenda..." and I slump into a pit of negativity. For me, it helps to pruse over the 'Success Stories'…
  • I try and keep breakfast light, but filling... fruit... oatmeal... cream of wheat.... granola... That kind of stuff... Lunch is kind of in the middle... I try and keep it around 500 calories... Salads with a protien... Lean meat with veges... etc. And then dinner isn't my biggest meal (size wise), but it's usually got the…
  • I would say look around at your local Big 5's, Sport Chalets, Sporting Goods stores, etc. Especially right after Christmas... hopefully there will be some sweet sales out there. I got a Polar FT-4 in March of this year and it's awesome. It's not one of the ones with all the fancy bells and whistles; it's mainly just for HR…
