I just finished Deeply Odd by Dean Koontz Which was a great addition to the Odd Thomas series. He is such an interesting character and way of expression. I also recently finished Ape House by Sara Gruen (who wrote Water for Elephants). It was a really quick read, the story captured me quickly about Apes in a language study…

I just started the most recent Jeaniene Frost novel Up from the Grave (last one in her Cat and Bones series). I have so much going on I needed something that wasn't too in depth. I re-read the entire series so I could experience them in order (there were some side novels I read after the main series the first time I read…

Come together, by Kuba Oms. Love his new album ADHD.

I totally understand where you are coming from. I lost 100lbs back in 2009-2010. Life happened/got busy/had some large stressors and I lost focus (thyroid issues too) and gradually regained 70lbs. I am focusing on the fitness aspect now and trying to make wiser food choices. I want to fit back in my cute smaller clothes.…

My last one was Barenaked Ladies back in January in a small town in the Okanagan, BC. Before that was Motley Crue and Heart before that. All three were very different, but very entertaining. The pipes on those ladies from Heart were amazing! Next up is Trooper (They are playing a free concert here in August) and then John…

One of the ones that I read that was pretty emotional was "I Know This Much is True" by Wally Lamb. It centres around identical twins, one of which has schizophrenia. Very good book!

I am getting married on September 6th. I am starting to realize how much we have left to do! I need to get motivated again. and start making time again for the workouts!

I just finished Love Anthony by Lisa Genova. Pretty good read, emotional story through. I just got back from vacation and managed to hit my favourite used bookstore while I was gone... I have 6 more books to choose from. I think the next one will be Circle of Fire by Keri Arthur.

Taken! :love: Been together 2 years, getting married in 4 months!

I found a lot of the same where I am, smallish city, but mostly seniors, not a lot of young adults. I went through a lot of awful ones before I met my wonderful fiance. I was ready to give up and there he was. You never know when they will pop up :smile: Good luck!

I had the opposite, she wore a nice pants suit to the interview, showed up for her first day of work in a miniskirt and halter (it was for a store that required getting up on ladders to do displays), when I told her that was inappropriate she showed up the next day in yoga pants and a crop top. She didn't last long. :noway:

I had a couple back when I was dong the online dating thing. I had one that seemed nice enough so we agreed to meet for coffee, but he suggested tim hortons so we could have lunch instead of just coffee at Starbucks. I showed up and he was there in a ripped t-shirt and track pants already eating. He appologized and said he…

I have done 30DS and while I saw results I found that Jillian really annoyed me so it tended to make it more of a chore for me. I love Turbofire. I am just trying to work up my strength again to do it. And I do like several of the 10 min solutions dvds are pretty good... Knockout body, boot camp. Like someone else…

It is a Canadian production filmed in Toronto called Bitten which aired on the Space channel here in Canada... It finished last week. It may have aired on the syfy channel in the US.

I ordered mine this past weekend. I followed my consultants recomendation and got my current size (well the size that accomodates my stomach lol). That being said I know full well I am going to need alterations regardless and they can easily take it down 4 sizes so I still plan to make it smaller. This way there is a…

I am currently reading Stolen, the sequel to Bitten by Kelly Armstrong, Hearts in Darkness (book 2 in the the Nikki and Michael series) by Keri Arthur and The Princess Bride.

I am in. Like a couple of you my wedding is Sept 6th. I have been pretty good about getting workouts in, but need to focus on the eating as well. I would love to be down 5-7 pounds in the next 30 days. Need to work on upping the intesnsity of the workouts too... My stamina has improved so it is getting harder to get my…

I got Maggie:)

I just started Bitten by Kelly Armstrong... It is an ok book. Not sure yet if I prefer the book or the TV series, but I haven't really been blown away with either of them. I am also working my way through one on my Kobo called Diva Las Vegas... it was described as similar to the Stephanie Plum series. It is ok, but not as…

I am the same way. I don't think I get as much out of a first thing in the morning workout as I am not necessarily pushing as much because I am not awake yet. Afternoon or evening I can push more and workout longer which I think gives me the opportunity to work through more of the tiredness. I am not a mroning person at…

I have been focusing more on portion control than any diet per say. That and getting the workouts in. I don't want to deny myself anything so moderation is the key.

I am getting married in September and trying to lose as much as I can before then. I work out most mornings before work, and then longer workouts on the weekends. I am going to have to change it up though, the ones I have been doing just aren't getting my heart rate up enough anymore. So at least my stamina has improved…

We have weekly potlucks for walking dead with several friends. So there are some things we watch as they happen, but it is a rareity now. I love my PVR. I can sit down and watch my shows when it is convenient for me... not when the network says I have to watch it. Netflix allows me to sometimes catch up on shows I missed…

Great job! You look great! I just started 30DS again this morning. I did it a couple years ago and lost inches, but not a lot of weight. I was actually kind of scared to start it again, but I made it through it. I just need to remember to take measurements tongiht before I get to far into it.

Wow are we almost done the 6 weeks already? I had been stuck in the 260s for more than a year. It didn't matter what I did couldn't seem to break out of them until last week! :drinker: I have 1 more pound to go to reach my first goal which is the weight I was on my birthday in Sept 2012. My next goal after that is the…

Not sure what my fiancé has planned. It is apparently fancy enough that he wore a tie today :laugh: I am not too worried about calories tonight. It will be what it will be. Big workout planned for tomorrow though.

Congratulations! That is awesome! :flowerforyou:

I love my fitbit. It makes me so much more aware of my actual activity level. Feel free to add me too :) http://www.fitbit.com/user/24FBLF

Not sure what is going on with me, I was down a pound durring the week, but now up. My stamina is better and my recovery from workouts is faster so at least that is something. 01/20/14 - 263lbs 01/27/14- 261lbs 02/03/14- 262lbs 02/10/14- 02/17/14- 02/24/14- GW: 215 by summer
