I try to save up enough calories one or two days a week so I can have an ounce of blue cheese with a glass or two of wine. I can make that ounce last a loooooooooooong time! =) If I'm really trying to do this forever, giving up cheese (and wine) just isn't an option!

It may sound silly, but with me it just has to be non-negotiable. If I leave any room for skipping it and snoozing a little longer, I'll pick sleep every.single.time. So I committed. I have to do it. With that committment, comes wanting it to suck as little as possible. I find that I'm more willing to go to bed at a decent…

I got my last pair at Ross. They had plenty of decent shoes for $19.99, but of course the pair I wanted were $35. Still much cheaper than if I'd bought them at a regular store though! I like Asics. Once I find a brand I like I usually stick with them. Nike's seem to flat for me, Reeboks just aren't comfortable at all on my…

I have this problem too. It's to the point that I look wierd in pictures because my shoulders are always so rolled forward. Yoga has helped strengthen the muscles, and it's also taught me *how* to have good posture. I always thought you were supposed to hold your shoulders up somehow, and it felt really unnatural. You…

My boyfriend makes this, either with chicken or sometimes with pork chops. It's one of my favorites!

Yikes, I'm kind of overwhelmed by all the replies! Thanks everybody! It's good to know I'm not the only one. I guess it's time for my pity party to end and it's time to get back to work. The last couple days my diet has sucked because I've been all whiny and discouraged. Time to put my big girl panties on and get back on…

I walk the stairs at work twice a day, 24 floors each time. I started doing 10 floors a day, and I seriously couldn't walk the next day. Or the day after that. My calfs and my quads were just cramped up like rocks. After I could actually walk again, I tried it again. And again. And I just kept after it. I added more as I…

I'm an all or nothing kind of girl with my coffee. I want it with like 1/2 cup of half and half in it, or I don't want it at all. I've been drinking tea. It's not nearly as good, but I like it better than coffee with milk or black, and it keeps the caffeine headaches at bay.

Hi Beth. I'm trying to stop the yoyo too. I lost 50 pounds in 2001. Gained it back over the next couple years. Have lost and gained it back probably four or five times since then. I'm great at losing weight. It's the keeping it off I'm not so great with. The last couple years I at least managed to narrow it down to a 20ish…

I walk the stairs during my breaks, and I get sweaty too. First of all, you have to start off clean. If I'm running late and have to skip a shower that morning I skip the stairs. People don't need to breath my funk. Assuming I'm clean and showered though, after I finish I stop at the restroom and use paper towels to wipe…

My boyfriend did it last Fall. I say go for it, but only if you're going to seriously train and be in top shape for it. He trained seriously for about 8 months, finished in about 3 1/2 hours, but could barely walk for a week or so after. I don't know what location you're looking at, but here in Northern California it's…

I find that most discount or department stores don't have my size. I'm kind of large anyway, but even if you're not, S/M/L/XL isn't going to cut it when you want something that really fits and supports. It costs a little more, but I buy mine at a local store that specializes in running shoes and products. If you have…
