I like Essie nail polish. I tend to use pale and nude colors, so when it chips and I am to lazy to fix or take it off, it's not that obvious.

There is a significant difference between my HRM and the arc trainer calorie count. The arc trainer is higher.

Do a search, there are hundreds of threads on this subject. It is a dangerous, fad diet. Don't do it!

Here is something I learned at work. {it shook my brother up when I told him. He is now 30lbs lighter} For every extra pound of weight we carry, it adds 4 extra lbs of pressure on weight bearing joints, such as knee, ankle, feet, and hips. So for 100 extra lbs of weight = 400 extra lbs of pressure on joints. For every…

My workout clothes all had a tie at the waist. At least the tie kept the pants from fallling down. Tops, can be a lilttle big. I kept my wardrobe to a bare minimum until I reached goal. Outlets stores, Costco, TJ max, and a few pieces from Goodwill, I picked up a few things with tags still attached.

If I knew how, or took the time to learn how, to post pics I would. But I am a Yankee fan all the way! {and there is still hope!}

Bump, to read tonight

^^ This^^ It's not fair to the other people in the gym. But if it is just a head cold, and you can workout at home, then by all means go for it. You know your body best.

I have a polar HRM. It does not synch with MFP [or at least I don't know if that is an option here}. But it works the best for me. I wasted money on 2 other brands before I ended up with polar. Also, most gym cardio equipment, {in my gym} is designed to pick up polar signals.and display the reading on the display screen.…

Me too! I use runkeeper and the nike app on my Ipod.

^^this!^^

Ditto for me as well. I also like Lulelemon, {sp?}, and Lucy, but too expensive. So I usually put them on my bday, christmas lists.

Bump, too much to read in such a small amount of time!

This may help, scroll down the page some. http://katierunsthis.com/2011/10/04/running-shoe-lacing-techniques/

I recently purchased a blend tech from Costco. {I think it was around $350} My son uses it almost every morning for smoothies. I have been experimenting with creamed soups, using non fat evaporated milk. I also made a couple different pasta sauces. Still experimenting, but so far I like it and highly recommend it.

I am 53, {man that was hard to type!} I have been consistently exercising for over 6 years now, I do cardio 6 days a week, and strength 1 hour, 3 days week. My cardio is a combo of swimming, outdoor running, stairclimber, rowing, arc trainer and elliptical.

I agree, and if this is a departure from your normal, you could have a small blockage some where along the line. This is something you need to discuss with your MD. There are a bunch of foods that will help pass things along, {I just read that non grounded flax seeds are great for this} as well as over the counter stool…

What placement?!? I can't get past the back muscles!

Bump, I am always on the look out for a healthy homemade soup. I need it to be low salt, so even canned soup is a no go.

I discovered MFP when I started maintenance. In my humble opinion, losing is easier than maintenance. Its a constant yo-yo. I use MFP faithfully, daily. I think logging is the one thing that works for me. Seeing your food intake in black and white in front of you, helps to keep me accountable to maintain that happy balance.

I would love to do this run. I was born and raised in NYC. I think I will look into it for next year. Thanks for the info.
