People who grunt and make loud noises when on cardio machines. Save it for the weight room geez. I nearly fell off the elliptical one day after some woman yelled cause she ran 10 minutes straight. And continued to grunt like a man about every 5 minutes. She never even realized everyone on the cardio machines all moved over…

I LOVE black olives. When I was a kid, my parents would play "aliens" with me using olives. We'd put the olives on the tips of our fingers and pretend we had alien hands. LOL My parents love olives and thats how they got me to like them too.

A few weeks before my husband and I got married, my MIL came to my door with my 2 year old niece. My MIL began to rant about how she hopes I don't plan to have any children and she doesn't want me pregnant. That she didn't need anymore grandchildren, that the one grandchild was good enough. That we better not even think of…

Did anyone else see that episode of My Strange Addiction on TLC on coffee enemas??:smile:

Thanks guys. I started reading up on it and it does sound pretty interesting. Also thanks for the links.

I have a love/hate relationship with ice cream.

Yay!

No it does not track heart rate. I think the Body Media is more accurate anyway. I do have a hrm that I use too but mostly to make sure I'm in the right workout zones. I have the Link version and for those wondering, there are specific hrm that will work with the Body Media. Here are some questions and answers from the…

I am learning so much!! :noway:

My main motivation for losing weight right now is to have a baby pretty soon in the next few years. I'm 28 yo and I've been married for about 3 years now. I was off of bc at one point a long time ago for almost a year trying to conceive and it just didn't happen for us. I figured it just wasn't our time yet and thought…

I'm bored too with 3 more hours of work to go. I want to go home. The sound of my supervisor snoring is making me sleepy.

One time I picked up a bag of apples and didn't realize they were ORGANIC until I got home and looked at my receipt. I ended up paying about $12us for the bag of apples. At $12 a bag, they really didn't taste that good. Maybe its cause I was a little vexed about how much I paid. LOL

That sounds delicious. I'm probably gonna try it with my almond milk and the oreo pudding. yay! :)

I initially hated cardio and had almost no motivation for working out. Now I download episodes of The Biggest Loser and I play them while I'm on the elliptical. I am being motivated by their hard work (if they can do it I can do it) and time flies by while watching an episode or two. I love to dance so I can't really play…

Feel free to add me! Always looking for more friends.

You should lose weight if you keep within your weekly calories. To make this easier, it is important to monitor your daily calories. If one day you are over by 500 calories, that means sometime later in the week, you need to still lose your daily calories plus the 500. Its just puts more work on a single day. If you are…

This is exactly why I felt more comfortable at 160lbs. My body is very muscular as it is. When I lose weight, it becomes extremely obvious. I played sports all my life and even today I love lifting weights. At 150lbs, I felt like I was starting to develop the body of a body builder and I personally do not like that for me.…

Well we can eat at our desk but sometimes all hell breaks loose and all our phone lines start to ring. One day I nearly choked myself after taking a bite out of whatever I was eating that day and had to swallow it whole when the phone lines all went off. Other times, I have to immediately spit out whatever I am eating to…

My weight fluctuates literally day to day sometimes by up to 3-5lbs. I will usually try to weigh myself once in the morning about an hour after waking up and having walked around for a little bit. I'd probably cry every day if I weighed myself 3x a day. There are some days where my weight will go up about 8 pounds…

I was just about to post the same exact question. I work 2 days and then 2 nights a week doing a 7pm-7am shift. I don't even get lunch break till around 1am or even 3am sometimes. I've been logging it same day. I figure my new day doesn't actually start until I go to sleep and wake up again. This way i can also keep track…

I'm pretty new to the whole exercise thing too. The first part will be getting into a routine and starting to make it part of your life. Some say it will take about 2-4 weeks getting into a routine. I've been going to the gym since mid December 2012. I have only been able to go maybe 2-3 times a week. I do the elliptical…

Reggae Dancehall or fast pace reggaeton.

Great to hear! Its not as scary a place and so many people think. :)

I have also worn my heart rate monitor which will do a calorie total and they do come pretty close. When you first use the BodyMedia, you will charge the unit for somethign like 2 or 3 hours. I have the BodyMedia Link version which is also compatible with my iPhone. It connects through bluetooth so if I'm curious a the…

I recently purchased the BodyMedia. Its basically what is seen on the show The Biggest Loser. Its pretty cool because it measures calories burned and at the same time is used as a pedometer. It has sensors that will measure your calorie burn. It also monitors your sleep and lets you know how efficient your sleep is and how…

You have boob sweat and either just don't care anymore, or just noticed its there.

The nice thing is our desks are able to move up and down so I can stand when I want to. I do need to do that more often and the desk squats and calf exercises sound like a great idea. I'm definately gonna have to try that. I guess the main reason I dont stand too often even though I can, is its a funny position to type.…
