If you have cable you can also get free exercise workouts from On Demand (at least with Time warner) a great way to try before buying . I also used to have Blockbuster through the mail (kinda like Netflix) and would rent dvds to try - though i tend to get bored with the same ones so it was good for me

i'm 5'4 and was about 130 in high school and thought i was fat - too bad i didn't have a good image of myself i am now about 200 and trying hard to lose weight - i have slacked off a bit the last 6mths but and going back into the routine of working out and eating better. :) i would be happy about 145

i am not sure where you are but in ohio i had a friend go through small claims court and the person paid the courthouse and they paid her the money. Hope you find the info you need

I would add my own thoughts but this pretty much says what i was thinking

i use one in the winter but have to use something else in the summer cause of sweating and stink - i second seeing if you can get a locker at the gym or keep a stick in your briefcase (if applicaple) or if you are at a desk in your desk. or if you have a locker at work (some jobs do) you could keep a stick there.

congrats on hitting 200 - it is fun to get new pretty bras - i remember getting some a few months ago at VS ( iwork at b&b so i got a discount) and it was great to be able to fit into them agian plus have pretty styles and colors to choose from.

interesting heres what I got when i took the quiz Your score is 1.67. Your body is between an EndoMorph and a Mesomorph. Choose a middle approach between the follow recommendations. Endomorph: An Endomorph's biggest concern should be the losing of fat and adopting a lifestyle that keeps it off. Strength training should be…

Congrats - you do look younger and happier :flowerforyou:

i have found if i don't have enough potassium i cramp up during or after exercise. Here is a list of foods that i have found are high in potassium - Artichokes, avocado, apricot, bananas, kidney beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cantaloupe, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, chard, cabbage, mushrooms, eggplant, garlic,…

good article - being overweight was a risk factor for me - well still is till i lose the last 40-50pounds, i also have some other risk factors like family who have had breast cancer.

Mine is my first intial then my madien name initial then my dh's first and last initial and 2000 the year we got married. :) i have thought about coming up with somthing new when i have to come up with a screen name but and very uncreative when it comes to names

I have borrowed excercise dvd's from the library before we had cable that way i could try before i decided to buy made it nice. I also get alot of books on health and fitness before i decide if i want to purchase them or not from the library.

heres a few snack items my kids eat in the afternoon - cottage cheese, string cheese, peanut butter (my just do it with a spoon), baby carrots, raw cauliflower, celery sticks, raisons, peanuts, hards boiled eggs (made ahead of time) nature valley crunchy granola bars, yogurt, ham or tukey with cheese sandwiches on wheat…

i watch with my dh - it motivated us cause if a 400 pound person can get off the couch and do it we can :) we started about a year ago and though i haven't met my goal we cont to work towards it.

Oh i needed a laugh - my downfall is cadberry eggs - so far i have refused to buy any

congrats its always great to be able to fit into a smaller size :drinker:

i personally weigh myself once a week in the morning when i get to the Y any more and i would drive myself crazy - i use the scale in the changing room at the Y- we don't keep a scale at home - i would be on it everyday then

definitally going to try this - i can do girly pushups but only like 1 full push up

i hit a major plateau these last few months and what helped me is to switch up my workout routine so instead of using all free weights or machines i rotate between them - or when bench pressing i use the bar with weights now when i was using free weights if i don't have my dh there to spot i use free weights - just do…

As others have suggested Sweet Baby Rays is the best out there.

i have found as a women i use measurements more then i rely on what the scale says - and i try not to think about how the scale is going down for my dh and not for me. Focus on your clothes fitting better and your self are you feeling better more energetic etc. the scale will move eventually

i wear whats comfertable for me usually workout pants right now danskin ones and a t-shirt and a good sports bra like most women said. I tend to like my shirt alittle snuger fitting but long so i have some older Gap perfect T's that i found at a thrift store and i wear those since they don't ride up when i am wokring out.…

yes -last night i had extra calories and we had a moms night out at Tim hortens/cold stone -i was going to get a bagel but ended up geting ice cream i felt sick all night afterwards

i thought i would say hi i am about an hour south of columbus - i have tried the 30 day shred but need to get some lighter weights the ones i have are 10 pounds and its killer with those .

i eat yoplait - its prob one of the few things i do eat with artificial sweetners - it also at least for me has a bigger selection of flavers that don't included berries -since my dd (who the allergiest says isn't allergic) breaks out in hives anytime she has something with berries in it. I have to have a variety of…

our dd's 4th grade class (and prob some others) are collecting tiems to send down so we sent some in with her-

i eat pretty healthy - the occasional lindt truffle (maybe 2 a week) i don't eat hardly any fried foods and have been limiting my fatty foods. More fruits and veggies -though i am not always good about loggin everything :) My dh gives my a handful of vitamins each day i thing one is a cod liver oil one and vit C and some…

i use Biore (sp?) pore unclogging scub it has saliylic (again spelling?) acid in it and then occasionally sea breeze astringent if i feel really oily. I tried the neutragina grapfruit face scub but it stunk like bo so i had to stop using it. I don't workout with makeup on the only time i wear makup is too church and work -…

like another poster said everyone works out diffrently - me i go to the Y most days unless its icy, their closed or i have sick kids or its really nice out then i work out outside. we try to go 4-5 days a week and i alternate starting on the treadmill or eliptical each day (mostly cause i would get very bored doing the…

i use on demand for workouts to do at home so if you have cable you could try those and if you find one you love buy it also i agree with sssrip try a jogging stroller we bought one last summer at Once Upon a Child for a quarter of the price and it was barely used at all. Our 3 year old still has plenty of room in it so…
