  • I'm 5'8", and 160 is my goal weight. I don't think I can maintain if I get much lower.
  • I am not a guitar aficionado, but I really enjoy: Clapton: White Room Hendrix: All Along the Watch Tower Blue Oyster Cult: Don't Fear the Reaper (more cowbell!) The Edge (U2): Where the Streets Have no Name Heart: Crazy on You
  • I just started running last year and struggled with the same issue. Make sure you are wearing a good, supportive pair of shoes. When you are running, try to be aware of how forcefully you strike with your heel. Ease up a bit, if you can. If you run outdoors, hop onto softer surfaces when possible: grass, gravel, trails,…
  • Hello :) 34 here!
  • I am not blessed in that area, but I do work for a global sports retailer, and I hear CW-X is the best.
  • My husband loves Cool Water perfume on me, but I do not like it. I really like Hugo For Her.
  • Saw these on sale in the latest Land's End catalog. http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-function-snow-boots~244213_-1.html
  • Thank you. This makes perfect sense. I will keep trying.
  • I first started running this year, and I started on my treadmill. I don't have a lot of sidewalks in my neighborhood, I live in a hilly area, and winter in Wisconsin can be rough. On occasions when I have pushed myself to run outdoors, I have enjoyed it. But I'm not as comfortable running outside as I am running on a…
  • Packed a lunch for work today and had Thanksgiving casserole: leftover turkey pieces, stuffing, gravy, corn, and carrots all mixed together and warmed up. And a side of cantaloupe. My afternoon snack will be a banana and chocolate milk.
  • You sound like a nice girl and a good daughter, and it doesn't seem that you're taking advantage of anyone. Kudos to you for wanting to do more or do better. I struggled to find a job after I graduated from college, and a temping agency was very helpful. Do you have a temp or staffing agency nearby? Based on your skills,…
  • Yes, I totally have this problem too. It's not that I'm jealous that they're snacking, and I'm not bothered by foods that typically make noise when you eat them (i.e. celery, carrots, chips, etc.), but it's excessive or rude eating noises that infuriate me. I pretty much love most of my coworkers and get along really well…
  • Mine is open as well. I'm a working mom, early 30s. I'm in Wisconsin and grew up right near the Michigan border :)
  • Geocaching, which is similar to orienteering. It's basically an outdoor scavenger hunt where you use your GPS to find hidden stuff. It's done all over the world. I would suggest something with a difficult terrain. You have to climb trees or traverse water to get to some. It's free. https://www.geocaching.com/
  • The best book I read this summer was Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
  • A whole-grain English muffin with peanut butter and a piece of fruit.
  • I do not eat out often (even Subway) and have begun packing my lunch every day, and I have snacks on hand so I don't need to stop for fast food during a normal day. For those times when I have to eat on the go (traveling for work, out and about with the kids, etc.), I think you can find reasonable options, in small doses,…
  • Is this the lowest weight you've been? Do you feel healthy and strong? At 5'9", maybe this is a good weight for you. I am stuck, myself, but I am still losing some inches. Plateaus aren't all bad. At least you know you can maintain without gaining at this weight. Hang in there :)
  • Yeah, I think you need a little help, sweetie. Even if it's not a professional, can you talk to a friend, your mother, a nurse you're comfortable with? You're so young, and I wish I knew this at your age: Be good to your body. Giving your body the healthy, nutritious food and activity it needs is smart; severely…
  • My husband and I read this book called The Five Love Languages. My two languages were Quality Time (either a date with my husband or he could take the kids out of the house for a bit so I can have time to myself) and Acts of Service (like when he unloads the dishwasher and helps with household chores). His two languages…
  • Currently: Modern Family and Two Broke Girls. All time: Seinfeld.
  • The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach. Paint it Black by Janet Fitch.
  • I vote Clapton.
  • The reason that there are so many diets like this out there is because they don't work for the majority of people. Eat fresh, wholesome food, drink plenty of water, and get enough activity to make you sweat on a regular basis. There is no other quick, easy, magical formula.
  • Secretary. Is this an indie movie? Stars James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal. And I saw a good sci-fi one called Monster about a year ago.
  • I am on week 7 of the Couch to 5k program and worry about the same thing. Are you stretching enough before and after workouts? That seems to help keep my shin splints at bay. I flex and extend my feet back and forth for several minutes to warm up that area, and I do those bounces on my tip-toes every day; if the calf is…
  • I am 5'8" and started at around 184 pounds in January. I am down to 168 now and would like to get to about 160. The lowest I've been after having a child was 155. That was hard to maintain, and I was cooking meals for my family and having to eat something different myself. My current measurements are 38-32-41. You can see…
  • A small sub sandwich, Campbell's soup at hand (creamy tomato), and organic strawberry milk.
