Tailgating me in the right lane when the left lane is wide open. And the reverse - creeping along in the left hand lane 10 miles under the speed limit.

I haven't found anything yet that beats the moving comfort bra. When I run I wear the (the maia style is the best). fiona is OK, but smashes me too much. The maia does not smash them, is extremely comfortable and great at wicking away the sweat.

I agree with checking the size, although they should have properly fit you at the running store. At Fleet Feet they discovered that I have an extra long arch, so I wear 1 1/2 size bigger in running shoes than dress shoes. I also have a foot that is wide at the ball (C) and narrow at the heel (AA), so they put me in…

You can also get good tech gear (shirts, pants, shorts, socks, etc) pretty cheap at Target. If you have an Off Broadway Shoes in your area you can get the good name brand shoes at a much cheaper price than at the athletic store.

I thought the only ways to lose weight were: 1. Fast for a month 2. Drink 2 gallons of water every day 3. Get injections of human growth hormone 4. Have your stomach banded, stapled, reduced 5. Take a magic pill This reduced calorie scheme is way out there! Did you invent this yourself? Tell us more!!

I bought the Galaxy S3 and had to return it after a week. I use my car's bluetooth every day for streaming pandora and for making and receiving calls while driving. For some unknown reason, the S3 does not work with automobile bluetooth systems (in the forums I spoke with users who had Infinity, Toyota, Ford, BMW, etc -…

I saw this commercial during the olympics and absolutely loved it. What a great way to help kids see that everybody can get fit and be active. Running, or any other activity for that matter, is not just for the skinny kids. Very touching and inspiring.

The best I have ever used was fatsecret.com. I only came to this site because I wanted to start tracking fat, carbs and protein by percentages. None of the sites do that, including this one, but one of the user's provided a link to an add on app her husband created that works only with this site and only with the Chrome…

OK, I had to know what poutine was, so I googled it. Yikes! The pictures were bad enough, but then I read the description of ingredients. Wow. Don't believe I could choke down a bite. It must be an acquired regional taste. This is what I read. Is that accurate, or is somebody pulling my leg?…

Also, if you are familiar with reddit.com, a Chik-Fil-A manager gave an interview on the site, and said that franchises are only given to people with the same beliefs as the CEO. Of course, he says that if you want a franchise, and you don't share his beliefs, you just do your homework and pretend that you do. So the…

The boycott is not because of the CEO's opinions, it is because they have donated over 5 million dollars of company money to fund hate groups and fight legislation that would give basic human rights to all people. When you give them your business you are helping them fund these things. Some people actually want to fund…

You are totally right. And also, I hope you never make him finish his plate when he is full. Being raised on healthy food and reasonable portion sizes is the best gift you can give him.

Sports bra, and you can get cheap tech shirts, shorts, and pants at Target. The C9 line is great and you can't beat the price. Definitely get the good socks either online or at the running store. They are pricey but they will cut down on or eliminate blisters. Also, when you wash your tech garments (including socks) never…

I have two. The first is from John F. Kennedy: "Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names." The second is from my mom: "You can't live your life for other people. Do what makes you happy."

I quit smoking 23 years ago. I gained weight without changing my diet or exercise, and at that time my doctor told me that when you quit smoking your metabolism does slow, but if you start back up, it does not increase. Then if you stop again, it slows again so it is then even slower than the first time you quit. So people…

LOL - Dr Oz is number one on my quack list.

Yep, I am allergic to everything it seems (at least all 63 things they tested me for). I take a 24 hour allegra every day, year round and am very rarely sick anymore. It became available over the counter this year if you want to give it a try. Of course, different types work better for different people, so you may do…

My first corporate job was in 1984. The dress code at that time was corporate dress (everyone must wear a suit every day - for men suits and ties, women SKIRT suits - no pants). Women were not even allowed to wear pants in the middle of winter. Eventually they got slowly more and more relaxed in their policies. When we…

Everyone is different, so you have to experiment to see what is right for you. If this works well for you, I see no reason to change. I personally eat when I'm hungry, which works well for me.

This was a popular diet in the 90's, and I did lose about 9 lbs on it. But that is only because I am type A+, so I was supposed to eat lots of vegetables, some lean protein, and go really easy on the bread. That's a pretty sensible diet and basically what I do now anyway. Not sure what the other types were supposed to do.

Lots of people think running is a solitary sport, and it is most of the time. But, in a race setting magic happens. Runners come together, support each other, cheer each other on and help one another. You will find it to be fun and social. Races are my favorite part of running. [/quote] Yes, yes, yes. I totally agree. I…

I agree that as long as you eat before and after, and are not doing or training for endurance sports, you will be fine.

When I first decided to try running 4 years ago, I used this plan from the American Running Association: https://www5719.ssldomain.com/engenuous/upload/lawndale/docs/Forms/Fitness%20Center/ara%2012%20week%20walk%20run.pdf I know when you look at it, it seems way too slow, but it is actually perfect. It was created to…

Most of the fun size bars are only 80-100 calories. I work them into my daily allowance now and then. But I usually have to choose between the candy bar and a cocktail (vodka with diet sierra mist and diet cranberry)

Bacon

I like it OK, and it's fun for something different, but I much prefer Turbo Jam. I think it is a better overall workout. If you want to get either one, check ebay first. I got the Hip Hop Abs set super cheap on ebay.

I mix Kashi Go Lean and Kashi Go Lean Crunch together. Yummy! And high in protein (for cereal)

Sorry to bring fact and medical opinion into your thread. And yeah, you are being an *kitten*. I am not trying to stop you from drinking as much water as you please, but you are recommending that other people drink amounts of water that could be potentially harmful to their health. I am only saying that instead of blindly…

I boil mine. If you put salt in the water they will peel easily.

That's a tough one. I have trouble staying motivated myself. I have found that when my husband and I are both trying to lose it is much easier for me. Of course, men lose a lot faster, so when he loses two pounds to my one, it's a little tough. Variety in the workouts helps me. I get bored with a workout very quickly, so I…
