Yep, from Lombard here. :)

I really don't care what people look like, what they wear, or in general what they're doing... but there's one thing that really bugs me. Curling in the squat rack. Even worse, curling with dumbbells in the squat rack.

Here's a nice list with grams of protein per 100 calories: http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.htm Added onto that: greek yogurt, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese

Same here - my club is closing at 5PM tomorrow. I'm wondering what this means for my membership as well, as I'm another long-term member also.

Interesting. I guess that explains why the club is closing early on Wednesday. I wonder what happens to my rate after the buyout?

Here are my scores from yesterday: Forget You - 8031 Party Rock - 9777 Hey Boy, Hey Girl - 9422

You're not the only one. :P

Yep, agreed. I was working with a 35 lb weight plate on my chest, and it got to the point where I couldn't increase it much more without it being extremely awkward with a huge plate. However, lifting weight overhead makes it very challenging.

I gagged a little.

Free-range is a virtually meaningless and misleading label. When applied to most factory farms, it usually means thousands of hens stuffed into a barn without cages. Although this may sound at least somewhat nicer in theory compared to your typical battery cages, it's actually very dangerous and stressful for the hens to…

Thank you for posting this - this is so much better than what I was using. :)

At first I was really intimidated. I started going either really early or really late, so there'd be maybe 1-4 people in the weight section of my gym. Now I don't care at all - I just do my thing. :tongue:

Chicago! :D

I have to agree with this. Home Run Inn all the way. (:

Stayed the same. :) Current Weight: 177 Challenge Goal Weight: 170 09/05: 182 09/12: 179.6 09/19: 179.6 09/26: 179.6 10/03: 178 <<<mini goal 179>>> 10/10: 178 10/17: 178 10/24: 178 10/31: 178 <<<mini goal 176>>> 11/07: 177 11/14: 177 11/21: 11/28: <<<mini goal 173>>> 12/05: 12/12: 12/19: 12/24: <<<challenge goal 170>>>

I'm too much of a wimp to go workout outside over the winter. Kudos to you! :flowerforyou: There are plenty of cheap and easy ways for me to exercise at home though. Workout DVDs (something as simple as the Shred from Walmart for $8), exercise games (Just Dance, etc), or online workouts (http://www.bodyrock.tv/). There are…

My boyfriend is from standing rock too. He's on here as well. Grew up on the reservation in Fort Yates.

Take On Me: 7532 Dynamite: 9209 Jump: 8475 Not very high, but oh well. I only did these once since I spent the earlier part of the week being sick. :P I'm looking forward to competing a bit more with the upcoming week and new songs. :)

I'd be down for a 5k anytime as well. :D

I'm from Lombard. :)

They're cute. Everyone should have one.

Down one pound! I'll take it. :) Current Weight: 177 Challenge Goal Weight: 170 09/05: 182 09/12: 179.6 09/19: 179.6 09/26: 179.6 10/03: 178 <<<mini goal 179>>> 10/10: 178 10/17: 178 10/24: 178 10/31: 178 <<<mini goal 176>>> 11/07: 177 11/14: 11/21: 11/28: <<<mini goal 173>>> 12/05: 12/12: 12/19: 12/24: <<<challenge goal…

Hooray for all the new people! :D

It's absolutely wonderful that you recognize some of the problems and that you're taking steps towards changing them - that's honestly the hardest step and you've already done it. Be proud of yourself. :) Being dishonest about your food intake only hurts yourself in the long run, so it's great that you're working on…

I think you're referring to me. I use a heart rate monitor to track my calories, so I just made my own exercise called "Just Dance 3" and put in my HRM calorie burn for it. Just search for an exercise in the database like you normally would, and then at the bottom there is a link that says "Can't find what you're looking…

Got in some late night dancing and these were my best scores for tonight. I'll be playing more all week though since I'm having an absolute blast with Just Dance 3, so hopefully I'll be able to improve upon these. The song selections were really high energy, my average heartrate was 145 and I maxed out at 170 sometime…

Fantastic job, yportia! :D
