Well, I haven't heard it called bat wings before. We call them "Angel Wings". Unfortunately, it seems like the more I try to tone my arms the flabbier and more prominent my "Angel wings" become. Any suggestions? DeeDee- sounds like you are experiencing a touch of Murphy's Law today too. Hope it got better. Welcome all the…

Wessecg- Try using this website to shrink the picture and then put it in photobucket. http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ BTW, you look marvelous, already.

YAY!! Looks like I did it. Ok, so I have something else I have been wanting to share with everyone. I hope you like it.

I am trying my hand at posting a picture. If I am successful this is my darling granddaughter Kamari at Halloween.

Jb-thanks for the link. I will be working on it.:wink: Wizzwig- Sorry you are not feeling well. I know its always hard getting teeth pulled and worked on.

How do you post a picture from your computer hard drive?

I don't know about anyone else, but until I understood that this is a lifestyle change (a new and permenant way of living my life) and not a "diet" (temporary change, get a result, then fall back into the old habits) I was not really successful in my goals of weight loss and becoming healthy. This is not just something…

Thank you for the invitation. I've just slid into 50 in August, 2012. I have been married for 29 years. I have a son-25 and a daughter- 21 and a beautiful granddaughter- 16 months. I decided last November 24th, that my health had to become a priority for me. I was tired of feeling so terrifble. So I started doing something…

My goal today: low sodium, stick to 1500 calories, and 75 minutes of cardio!!

Hi, I live in Martin, TN. But if I ever move it will be to Virginia Beach, VA. I had to do a few weeks at a residency for school there a few years ago and my husband and I fell in love with it. Glad to meet everyone.:flowerforyou: Jolene

Suebdew- Congrats on the weight loss! That’s so great.:bigsmile: Linda Sundance- I hope you feel better soon. I can relate. I have had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands several years ago.

Happy Day for you! I am aspiring to live in Onderland myself within the next 3 months. I am so happy for you. Good work!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I have had a good week in comparison to my co-workers so YAY ME:happy: ! I have made it to the gym every day, thank goodness:bigsmile: . However, the steroids are making me really hungry:frown: . I kinda feel like a gremlin:huh: , lol. The toe is almost normal size, but still hurts like furry. I have been able to suck it…

I am thinking about purchasing either a Kindle or a Nook. The computer store on campus carries Nook and I can get it cheaper through them. So does anyone have a Nook or have information either way on which is a better device before I purchase? Thanks, Jolene

FITDAY says a person 136 pounds would burn 202 calories per hour doing this type work. Hope that helps.:wink:
