  • Greek yogurt for the win!! Has anyone tried these? Yum! http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-yasso-frozen-greek-yogurt-bars-i261494
  • I went on a 7 day Carnival Glory cruise last year in the midst of my diet. I ate everything I wanted - I denied myself nothing - dessert, alcohol, mac and cheese every night - the whole nine yards. I knew that for us, a cruise doesn't happen very often and I wasn't going to have any regrets!! We tried to take the stairs as…
  • I just stared taking a product a few days ago with raspberry ketones in it - it does have green tea and African mango in it as well though. I'm not sure about the weight loss or energy aspect of it yet (woke up with a cold this morning, so energy is zilch anyway), however, I have noticed my appetite has definitely been…
  • Thanks for the tips everyone! I appreciate it! I think I might do a workout today, hit the hot tub tonight, and take the next few days off and just go back to some basic cardio until after our ski day.
  • My husband was addicted foreverrrrrrrr and I started a few toons so we could play together for about a year before I lost interest/got too busy. My mains were a 70 priest and a 60 paladin. Havn't played in forever though. Hubby now plays some pirate game thats free and I spend my free time at the gym!
  • As far as exotic places -- My husband and I honeymooned in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. It was relatively inexpensive (for an island getaway), beautiful, warm, tropical and lots of fun! We had a blast - I'd love to go back there sometime. We just returned from a cruise on Carnival to the Western Carribean. We went…
  • My husband did this in the army and taught me how to do it. I do royals as 20, Aces as 5, and don't use jokers (mine are lost). It's a good work out, that's for sure!!!
  • I went on a 7 day cruise last month and came home 9 pounds heavier. I did not deprive myself of anything I wanted - including dessert every night. I had great intentions of working out onboard, but found we were WAY too busy to schedule it in. I'm typically pretty active, so I don't think the extra walking or anything did…
  • When I did a pt session, he gave me a lot of good tips, but he showed me mostly things to do that didn't require machines - just a ball and other things I had at home. All core stuff. It was good, but, I really wish he had focused on the machines more. If I just go to use the ball and dumb bells, I feel like I could do…
  • Yup, absolutely. We know each others passwords, our emails are pretty much all linked together, and I go searching through his phone on a regular basis as well (lol, he knows, it's a organizational thing more than trust thing. He has a hard time relaying information from his family/friends to me, so if someone sends him a…
  • I have a Jeep jogger Music on the Move and I LOVE it. I've had two - my first one had a smaller locked front wheel, but I rollerblade and really needed the hand brake and the larger wheel, so I upgraded. I love how it can play your MP3 player through it's built in speakers. It's runs really smooth, my son is always…
  • I think I had the same dress as you!
  • A lot of times, it does take a long long time for them to get a dress in. I would definitely go with the 9 month suggestion, but, go look 12 months in advanced. Some specialty stores/designers can take that long! Personally, I would try and get to my goal weight before that happens - but I know that's not always…
  • At least he burns some! My husband sits at a desk all day long. People on his team go on walks throughout the day (with weight loss goals) and he sits and watches them from his window eating his ho hos. Jerk. He makes me SO mad sometimes! Lol. And keep working hard and you'll get there!! I was stuck in the 150's FOREVER it…
  • Gym for sure! I have a very chaotic schedule most of the time and am almost constantly with my 4 year old son (he comes to work with me), so gym time is me time. It gives me a chance to escape his constant "whys" and do something for ME every day. Plus, at home, I'm more likely to stop and "take breaks" that pretty much…
  • LOL! So, my husband and I were recently in Mexico and we saw a Hilux. My husband looked it up and decided he was in L-O-V-E. They don't sell them here in the states though, so he had to get a Tacoma, but right now, he thinks you are super cool because you could own a Hilux.
  • I log them all seperately... so, if one week I am walking for a total of 10 minutes and running for 20 minutes, than I log the walk and run individually.
  • I LOVED my Hyundai Santa Fe. I just sold it last week because my husband wanted a Toyota Tacoma, so I took his car. Once we have the Tacoma paid off I will buy another Santa Fe for sure. My father-in-law has worked very high up in the automotive business for many many years, and his wife drives a Santa Fe. Hyundai's are…
  • When I'm super sore (like today...we skiied yesterday) I will go and swim for an hour. Always makes me feel better!
  • Oh boy - Guilty Guilty Guilty. 1. I wear underwear to the gym. I'm sure I probably have panty lines. I also don't think I care. Stop looking at my @$$. 2. I take machines right next to someone when there are empty ones nearby. I always have a reason. There is one elliptical at our gym that still has the book rack on it.…
  • Oh boy! You guys are scaring me a little bit!! Hubby and I are thinking about #2 and I know I will end up having another C-Section. My doctor with my first told me as she was sewing me up that she did a rocking job on my incision. When I went back in for my check ups, she was super excited to see it, and each time told me…
  • I am in a similar situation as you - except my husband just has a metabolism most of us would die to have. He does not gain weight. Ever. He can eat whatever he wants, and do absolutely nothing active and never gain a pound. It's incredibly frustrating. For me - it's all about my willpower. For the most part, I've been…
  • Ugh. I always seem to plateu right before heading into the next 10 numbers. I'm still holding steady at 150.5. Guess I need to step it up this week to hopefully make it under that. We're going skiing on Saturday, so that should help burn a ton of cals! Heading to the gym this morning to do W5D1 of C25K - I'm not really…
  • Lol - funny. Mine is pretty lame...I need a re-design real bad - lack of time though :( www.innovativeimage.org
  • I've never been a runner either - even when I was super skinny and played sports, etc. in high school, I still couldn't run a mile straight. I started the C25K program because I wanted to be able to say I could do it...I'm still only on week 5, but I'm getting there. I still don't "like" it by any means, but, I know it's…
  • All of the Twilight movies...and I'm a Twilight fan. 300.
  • I am 5'9" - currently 150lbs. Heaviest at 172, lightest at 118 (when I was pregnant of all things...eek!). My goal weight is somewhere around 137-140 and a size 6. I'm a size 8 right now with Old Navy Flirt jeans - could squeeze into a size 6, but it wouldn't be flattering!
  • PS3 MOVE!!! And - if you get a backwards compatible PS3, then your kids can keep all their old games!
  • I do this too - I have one of the containers that are made to do it and I love it. Lately though, I've been using salsa as my salad dressing as it has more flavor for less calories. I can't stand most of the low cal salad dressings...except one brand - can't think of it off the top of my head but the ranch has NO calories…
