I've had GERD since I was 8 years old. It runs in my family. About 10 years ago I had an upper endoscopy and found I have a hiatal hernia (stomach extends above the diaphragm) and Barretts Esophagus (a precancerous condition where your esophagus cells are compromised by your stomach cells). I am losing weight because the…

I lost 30 lbs last year, then gained it all back and then some during grad school. I'm starting over and super motivated, but looking for friends to motivate me more! I want to lose 100 lbs and have lost 7 lbs so far. WE CAN DO THIS!

Great ideas! Thanks so much!

Link or it didn't happen. :P

Yes! I forgot to mention how versatile it is! So many exercises on such a compact machine is possible when you don't have bulky weights to contend with. I do a full body 12-exercise workout which usually lasts 30-35min three times a week. I also switch up the exercises every 2 weeks. I never knew it could be this easy to…

To give you another opinion, I currently own a Bowflex and MUCH prefer it over free weights for the following reasons: 1. I work out on my own and I feel much safer and in more control with resistance rods than free weights. Changing "weights" is quick, simple, and effortless. The exercises are controlled and easy on my…

I'm on week 10 of my Bowflex heavy lifting plan and I LOVE it! Although I'm still overweight and thus all the muscle is still hidden, I feel stronger, more fit, and have more energy overall. I do one set of 8-12 reps per 12 full-body exercise three times a week. I started benching 80 lb and am now up to 110 lb. Yesterday I…

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks!

I've lost an average 2 year old. Has anyone seen him??

Right on the dot!

@drgmac, how about 29??

Thanks! I also don't agree with the whole pale skin thing looking horrible with darker hair. I do definitely have to use darker eyeliner and eyebrow makeup with my darker hair to not look washed out, but I certainly don't mind, and have gotten many compliments on my eyes because of it. I also believe you should do whatever…

I'm a natural red-head and dyed my hair jet black about a year ago after I went as a vulcan one Halloween and everyone was amazed how awesome I looked. I LOVE my new hair! Yes, I know a lot of guys prefer red, but I definitely prefer black. It all depends on the person. I think if you're thinking about it, go for it!

Thanks!

No one? >_>
