What everyone else said - no one is going to be looking at you, and if they are, they are cheering you on. I certainly would be, even if I never say anything. There's a guy at my gym that has been going regularly, and I've watched his weight loss over the last year. It's been impressive, and I suspect if you start now,…

That's so wonderful! Congratulations!

Did it ever occur to you that dogs are more curious than cats?

Is the difference based on whether they can prescribe drugs?

If it was where it should have been, then why are you asking where it was?

Shouldn't we all be doing the dancing?

By why is that term relevant to this discussion?

Amen to that.

Almonds. Just a handful - full of good fats and proteins. Hard boiled eggs, chopped up into a spinach salad. Tablespoon of peanut butter. Another vote here for hummus, or using salsa with your celery and carrots. And add me as another voice to the knitting/crocheting group. I knit. It keeps my hands busy and quiets my…

Iron: liver, oysters. Not my favorite foods. Not even something I consider eating when it's an option. I tend to take a supplement (Feosol - the Bifera version), and eat dry cereal as a snack. Product 19 is my drug of choice. Then there's the spinach and chicken salads I have a few times a week.

Here's what works for me: Get enough sleep Make your last thought when you fall asleep at night that you're going to get up and workout. When the alarm goes off, sit up, get out of bed, and then turn it off (don't turn it off while you're still under the nice warm covers... we all know how that often ends) After getting on…

Unless you're Bad Bad Leroy Brown.

I add a hard boiled egg to my salads, and not just the egg white now. I don't care about the cholesterol, I care about the *iron*. If you're not eating enough leafy greens or other stuff to naturally absorb iron (I hate supplements), that egg yolk helps a little bit.

I love Levi's in general, if they're not skinny or low rise. Otherwise it's all good. If you're willing to spend the money, I also love Talbot's Signature jeans.

Aw, that's not right. Happy Birthday Mikkimeow! No one should be forgotten on their birthday!

Once upon a time, for about 4 years, I had a 10 minute commute (it wasn't something I could walk, unfortunately, due to major roads and freeway onramps near where I worked). I miss that commute. I took something else (after a layoff from short-commute place) that was about 45 minutes away, if traffic behaved. Sometimes it…

Pizza? Gods, this is a crisis! Because pizza is one of the best delivery systems for protein, calcium, carbs, fat (yes, but a little fat isn't a bad thing), and veggies (if you're having veggies on your pizza). It may be high calorie (depending on the pizza crust and toppings), but it packs a lot of other good things in it…

Boogie Nights

The Last Action Hero

This is awesome. As someone who used to have her lunch stolen (and we're not talking sandwiches, but slices of lasagna, meatloaf and potatoes, roast turkey and stuffing - all homemade), I love Tina from HR. And to the person who ex-lax'd a sandwich: I ex-lax'd a brownie that was also laced with cayenne pepper. Not enough…

43 (just turned in early July) 5'7" 129 pounds (trying to maintain it)

Did you mean Brian Dennehey? ...and using him: Silverado

Gym 2... for the sauna alone as well. You don't want to get bored - if you do, then it's going to be an issue dragging yourself there (and it will become you dragging yourself there). The $15 should more than offset your gas expenditure, so I'd go for gym 2. Of course - is time an issue? I know for me that I have the same…

Robin Hood: Men in Tights

Or listening to an audiobook while jogging.

Yup, find it at Trader Joe's. There's a creamy, a crunchy, and one that is a swirl with chocolate (which is the one that I think is *better* than Nutella)

I think we're reaching an impasse. All this fighting is tearing us apart! (So say The Bobs, in their infamous 1988 song 'Corn Dogs') song: http://open.spotify.com/track/4YIlF7SJyn1RgljLDln0bh Lyrics: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bobs/corn+dogs_20593996.html

Ok. So you eat food. I eat food. I think a great many people here eat food too. I think the only ones who don't eat food are BreathAirians, but they don't tend to live for very long. So, you eat a specific type of food, and avoid another specific type of food. Ok. My mom had a word for that growing up. It's called being a…

I haven't run that fast since high school... (back in the late 80s). That's awesome! Best I can do these days is a 12 minute on the treadmill

Confusion.
