  • I loved it. I think he needs to balance it out and he will. Of course I think he is so very awesome :) we met him at a very small Con in NY and he chatted with my daughter for 10 minutes. I got all shy, which is what I do, but he was friendly and nice and smiled. It was really great.
  • It depends on the restaurant. Personally I avoid chains. There are many tricks to eating out. 1- eat 1/2 of the portion 2- order from the appetizers 3- avoid cheese 4- Assume a little more butter than anything 5- Vegetable burgers are on most menus 6- Ask for the sauce on the side 7- Vegetable wraps are good options 8-…
  • Atkins works short term for some people. if you have diabetes in your family cutting out simple carbs can be a good thing. I know people who have lost weight, lowered cholesterol and high blood pressure on Atkins. However, for me it would not work. I need the carbs to fill me up and can't do such a limited diet. My brother…
  • It is becoming more known and a more common problem. I think its my husband's problem in the winter, but he won't listen to me. He gets sluggish and doesn't do anything, but once it gets sunnier and warmer out he starts getting up and doing stuff. The more we stay indoors and don't get out in the sun the more common the…
  • My daughter was having a problem with her Rib being out of place. She tried on a corset at Comicon and as he pulled it tight her back straightened and rib went back into place. No pain after. I don't know about waist training, but it can help your posture.
  • I hate when they stare. I am not hot by any means, but the one day I was lifting on the machines and every time I looked up this one guy was staring at me. At first, whatever, but after the the 5th time, I was not liking it. FYI, I find I get stares in the when I am using the machines in the gym, but not when I am in the…
  • you might think it was the jumping, but I would bet it was the twisting that did the sacrum in. The problem with Zumba and injuries is that is very fast paced and you twist and turn and shift your weight quickly. This makes it very easy to pull something or hurt yourself. Good luck healing.

  • strength training definitely helps arthritis, by building stronger muscles it helps stabilize the joints. My suggestion though with spinal stenosis, talk to your Dr first or a sports medicine doctor to make sure you are doing the right exercises. If you have back problems and want to strength train you really do need to…
  • I actually do a lot of simple things and change depending on time of year and mood: - Veggies burgers that can be nuked, with salsa or hummus - Weight watcher meals, adding additional frozen veggies - Trader Joe Lemon chicken - Canned soup - Veggies with dip - trader joe prepared salads, but I usually replace the dressing…
  • Oh this is so true, especially about headphones. I am lucky at my gym, no one bothers me, but I am not exactly the approachable type. I am angry girl and for the most part people don't talk to me. I did have a crazy lady from my building in the building gym talk to me all the time. OMG. I mean at first it was OK, but this…
  • Captain Jack Harkness: [to a refugee] Captain Jack Harkness. And who are you? The Doctor: Stop it! And all the various versions of this exchange :)
  • I am overweight, considered obese, but I eat healthy even if too much and I work out 4 to 5 times a week on average. My husband is the perfect weight for his height, but he is flabby, eats horribly and never works out. He needs cholesterol meds too. Although, I am overweight, I am still in better shape overall than my…
  • Everything I have read says that frozen are just you as good. Try the steamfresh kind that you put the bag in the microwave they come out great. you can get them seasoned or plain. I stay away from the sauce because that can add lots of calories. I often nuke my frozen veggies in a bowl. just plain. peas are perfect that…
  • Doctor shows up and I don't care I am off with him no matter what I am wearing, after all he has a wardrobe in the TARDIS and I am sure something will fit me :)
  • While I don't think you can be FAT and healthy, I do believe that not everyone comes in the same sizes. Not all people can be a size 4 or even a size 8. While I think you should try hard to be healthy, it is hard to do when you don't like yourself. I don't know much about the movement, but what I do know is that generally…
  • I sweat a lot and feel more comfortable with a shirt than just a sports bra because it catches the sweat. Otherwise I would be dripping all over the place and I mean really dripping. I don't jog, but this is for Zumba or kickbox, I wear sports bra, loss tank top and I wear jazz pants just because I prefer them because I…
  • My doctor once said to me answer this question: "will any diet work if you stick to it" The answer is pretty much yes, if the diet has you eating less and burning more calories, YES it will. The real question is what diet can you stick with for the rest of your life? What eating combination and food and exercise will make…
  • My husband believes married women lose weight and then get divorced. So maybe your husband thinks the same, you are changing yourself and then you will get skinny and improve and think he isn't good enough anymore. Reassure him that you are doing it to get healthy and feel better about you, but it won't change how you feel…
  • Two things, one was that we were getting new life insurance and my weight would have raised the premium, a huge wake up call for me because it meant I was high risk to ensure. Second I was having trouble walking and doing stuff, I wanted to stay active
  • It's funny I think how great the current doctor is then I go back and remember how much I loved 9.tom baker was my first doctor and will always be my favorite
  • Awesome on the 20 and the reply!!! My daughter is 20, I'm beginning to think I would be "the mom" instead of the companion ????
  • I love captain jack
  • Sounds like fun. I will try when I can, work is crazy.
  • I have to wait till it gets closer and then see if I can do it. Work is crazy and going global causes weird hours with my work schedule.
  • Love all the GIFs. Just got back from London and bought myself a signed picture of Tom Baker ????
  • Oh what a great idea. I could really get a good workout when there is a marathon on BBC America :)
  • I met my husband in a bar. His friend knew my friend, but we talked because I thought he looked familiar. I walked up to him and was like "you look familiar, why?" turns out we just frequented many of the same bars. The funny part is I had three guys I dated before that and it was like enough, I don't want to date, I don't…
  • I have had a few things Gin Whipped Cream flavored Vodka (OMG that was totally gross) Mad Dog 20/20 I also had this yellow looking alcohol in a very tall bottle, don't remember the name, it was like 30 years ago, but it was like drinking syrup.
