I just purchased some in a store called "Soma". It was lingerie geared more to the normal woman sized, [as opposed to the emaciated sizing of VS} but pretty and sexy. It is slightly less expensive than Victoria Secret, but every bit as nice. There is an online catalog that is available.

bump, to read tonight

My last run was Sunday night, before I hurt my knee. It was my best time so far -33 minutes. I have not run since. My first 5K is Sept 9th. I hope I can run it.

Different stokes, for different folks. WW worked for me. I found MFP, after I reached lifetime. {at the time WW still charged lifetimers for etools} I need to log to keep me accountable, so I continue to come here. I think both are as successful as you allow it to be.

I broke mine years ago. Thankfully the weather was nice, because I could not get a shoe on my foot. It took several weeks to heal. I think you will be fine with the bike and elliptical. Walking was difficult for me.

I lost all my weight on the momentum plan. I was maintaining when the PP plan came out. I did go back as a lifetime member to learn the new plan. I followed it for a while but gained weight. So I stopped and came back to MFP. I understand that WW has modified it some, so it may work better than the original PP plan.

I have been a nurse for almost 30 years, and my son is trying to get into nursing school. It's a lot more difficult now to get into a nursing school than when I went. My advise is to get at least an ADN/RN. Most local colleges have the programs. It is an associate degree. I know it'd difficult ,at 26, to think of this much…

I wish I could wear bold colors on my lips, but it makes me look too pale. I have not used foundation since I started using tinted moisturizer. My new obsession is the gel nail polish.I have soft nail, so polish last 2-3 days if I am lucky. The gel nails last as long as 1.5-2 weeks. It not hard to do, just a little more…

It doesn't make a difference what time of day. You do fluctuate throughout the day, and certain times of the month. you are more concerned about the trend then the actual number on the scale. Just make sure its the same day of the week, same clothing, {or lack of}, and same time of day. Remember its not the number, but the…

In addition to many of the suggestions above, I have read, as you become dehydrated, your body's defenses slows down the metabolism to protect what little water is still on board. So in a constant dehydrated state, metabolism slows down to protect itself. A slower metabolism means a lower calorie burn.

I have been running on the treadmill for years. My son has convinced me to run a 5K race with him in Sept. So I have been training outside for it. It is much more difficult, but soooo much better running outside. The treadmill belt helps to propel you along. Wind, humidity, change in elevations, [even minor changes} makes…

The increase in calories are not all that much, and it changes during different stages of your pregnancy. This is where "quality in", " calories out" is extremely important. You need to speak with your GYN and follow the diet and exercise guidelines your Doc provides for you. Congrats on your pregnancy. I have 2 children…

Bump for later

Yup, me too!

SWIMMING!! For a variety of reasons, mainly I loved racing since I was a little girl, and the eye candy makes it all worth it.

Thank you

Good sneakers , with advice from a running store. I purchased a small fanny pack like belt, to hold my house key and Iphone. I found an old visor cap that no one liked in the house. It's perfect for running, keeps the sun, and my hair, off my face but keeps my head open to cool off. And I use my ski sunglasses to run. They…

The body uses, and breaks down, more efficiently, the sugars from fruit, better than the refined sugars we would add to our diets. If my sugars are over due to fruit, I ignore it. Besides the benefits of fiber and nutrients from fruit , far outweigh the natural sugar intake.

While on vacation, you wake up to run at a God Awful time in order to beat the heat and humidity.

You need to start pre natal vitamins today! I see a few pregnant women in the gym, lifting and cardio. I know a friend just had a baby, her OB/GYN told her to keep her heart rate at a specific level, but by all means continue her exercise schedule. Be careful to stay hydrated! There are different times during the pregnancy…
