...I gotta fever... and the only prescription is...MORE COWBELL!! I love that guy!

Sorry Bert - that's my position in the world!!

Wow - your brother is a total rock star. What a great story!

thanks! That's the area we were thinking of - it's about 18 hours straight through which is long, but I think that's about as close as we can get to home and still get away from the rain.

thanks folks - I've used Ultra Swim my entire life...and I know about the brittle hair/hay thing well...it's just now that I actually have to pay some money to keep it the colour it's always been, I don't want to waste it! I'll try the conditioner under the cap - that may help. If not, I guess I'll just die it green and…

I love Walt!! I SING the Body electric; The armies of those I love engirth me, and I engirth them; They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the Soul. Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves; 5 And if those…

Try Not Your Daughters Jeans ( sold at Nordstrom). Expensive but built for women, not stick figures. My cheap go to is Old Navy 'curvy' cut. Both have some spandex in them to fit o dr my swimmers legs and are nipped in at the waist. HTH

Keep doing what you're doing - obviously it has been working and it will again. I think your body just occasionally needs a break and holds onto those pounds. You can try switching up your exercise regime - now is the time to try something new. Some people also advocate eating more, or eating less or alternating…

My hiking buddy and I were just talking about maybe taking a backpacking trip to explore some of Hawaii!! Any suggestions of must see areas, which island we should concentrate on etc? We were thinking of the big island, but are just in the most preliminary of planning stages right now.

Any part of the PCT is beautiful. Also I'm a huge fan of the Pasayten wilderness (the PCT conveniently runs through a corner of this). I'm lucky in that there is amazing hiking less than 1 hour from my door. The Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest is amazing, and has a whole lot of trails which are well marked, mostly…

Every couple of days. And if I hit a new 'low' 2 days running, it gets logged.

Guided. And its worked well.

I am not a runner. Not now and never will be. However, I have torn my calf muscle - it hurts like a SOB!! My physio said it can happen just from having tight achilles tendons which I do, and which people who build up their lower body (like runners) are prone to having. His suggestion was to stretch - a lot, and not just…

yer damn skippy I do!

Have y'all got room for a left coast hiker here?

I live in the PNW - gortex is my friend. For backpacking trips, I have a pair of Scarpas which I love. All leather with a gortex lining, so it doesn't matter how wet it is out, and they have great ankle support. For dayhikes/walks etc, I love my Merrells...also lined. And for the summer quick trips and around the camp my…

I lost 1 1/2 inches off my neck. Now I want one of those lifestyle lift things to firm up the skin!!! Weightloss sometimes is a mixed blessing...

Well stated.

This year I'm doing a couple of things to stop me from retiring to the couch for the next 6 months (believe me, that has happened before!!) Firstly, I hired a trainer a couple of times a week. He has set up a workout plan for me, and because I'm paying him a lot of money (and I'm mostly pretty cheap), I follow it. It also…

I was forced to start buying new stuff when my pants started falling off (from a tight 16-18 to a 8-10 presently). That happened at about 30lbs. In a way it annoyed me as I was only half way through losing what I wanted to lose, but hey - it's all good. When I shopped, I only bought a couple of things...just enough to tide…

I'm not ilookthetype but...what she said!!

Yay. Did u bring Kevlar with u?

Love love love Top Chef!!

It's not in your head - your feet will shrink as the weight comes off!! I just spent the summer replacing every pair of shoes I owned, including my favourite, expensive, broken in beautifully hiking boots. I figure that not only am I losing fat (yup, your feet have fat too), but as I weigh less, there is less pressure on…
