My sick mind got that in half a second....:laugh:

LOL So true! But in my case, it can be good OR bad. My husband is military police and has worked as a civilian officer on the side. My licence says 'A UNIT', which also means 'significant other' for either a military member or a cop. He's gotten a few phone calls or mentions in conversation that "boy, your wife has a lead…

Hope all went well! As I'm sure you found out, the prep is the worst part of a colonoscopy! When we get patients readythe morning of the procedure, they are all grumbling about the prep and then the darn colonoscopy is over before they know it!

I love this joke! I'm Finnish and blonde! Hmmm, maybe I ought to try this.........

Ahh, you never mentioned the iron pills! That will do it every time! If your doctor prescribed the iron, see if you can switch to chelated iron, if you're not already taking it. Chelated iron is less constipating and causes less stomach upset. You can find it at health food stores.

Grrrrr:grumble: ....they need to ban the marketing of Premarin, imho.

Where did you find this? I looked on the website and online and found nothing about corn syrup.

I'm a GI nurse and I'd recommend Miralax. It's a non-habit forming laxitive meant to be used for occassional constipation. Take a capful a day mixed in any beverage daily for no more than one week. I would definately look at your diet because most of the time constipation is hydration or diet-related. Drink at least 8…

Well it's fine to eat a little right before exercise, but if you are going to eat a meal you should wait 2-3 hours before you exercise. I'd recommend a high-protein drink before you workout. You also need carbs to fuel your workout, so a handful of high-fiber cereal along with your protein drink should suffice. This won't…

I take Beachbody Activit metabolism formula. It's a multivitamin with 20 vitamins and minerals along with green tea and L-carnitine to aid in metabolism and fat loss. I love it! I have definately felt more energetic since taking it.

Well remember, the more you exercise, the more calories you "earn" for that day. Burn 500 calories, eat 500 calories above your 1200! Good luck, and just take baby steps! Before you know it, you will be busting out 30-40 min on the eliptical and more!!

I've never seen the commercials, but found it on my own on the store shelf a few months ago. I love it! One ingredient is erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol occuring naturally in fruit and fermented foods. It is almost non-caloric, does not affect blood sugar, and does not cause tooth decay. Rebiana is stevia, a leafy…

I can take it or leave it.

Just like the infommercial! (cue cheezy music)

My goodness! You're all over the place!! hehe Got in 3T and 30 min cardio in today. Going to work really hard on the diet. My son was craving sweets the other night and so I made up a concoction for "Mounds" fudge. Yup, dangerous and very bad for the diet! I have decided it will NOT touch my lips today!! (wish me luck…

I'm gonna have to get the ball videos but I'm waiting to spend my money on ChaLEAN Extreme first. I got 30 min of cardio in today. Was going to do some weights, but I've been so darn tired lately. I think it's the weather. When it's dark at 4:30pm, I get so exhausted! Nice job Ms.Abs! I hear you, drevans_mom. I am up 2…

How good does that feel???? Congratulations girl!

Applebee's has the Weight Watchers menu. Lot's of yummy stuff!

I had an exercise ball once....I have three kids, so that answers that "mystery". lol Did 30min of a old favorite cardio DVD and Ab Jam just now. Going to a baby shower where I will be tempted once again with crap. Arrgghh!

Aw! Good for you! You must feel on top of the world. I mean, come on! Most guys don't notice "little things" like a new hairdo or a different outfit so when they notice a change, especially one we work so hard for, BOY does it feel good! Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

I ate what I wanted and how much I wanted. Didn't feel the slightest bit guilty, either. I worked out this morning before everyone arrived, and also a bunch of us went for a 45 min walk after the meal. I just ate the last piece of my favorite pie so there's none left to tempt me in the morning!

Yah, I'm quite excited for ChaLEAN Extreme. It's gonna rock! They've said it's going to be released for the last few months and it's looking like somewhere in December now....:grumble: Well guys, exercised yesterday and even got up earlier to get it done before the troops arrived today for Thanksgiving dinner. I ate what I…

Hi Guys! OK, it's the day before Thanksgiving, so I decided this crap about working out 2 times the past week is OVER!! Had a great workout today, did CP3 and Ab Jam-burned 750 calories. :flowerforyou: Great job you guys who have posted! Have a great Thanksgiving!!

I am always amazed when I see people trying foods for the first time that I have been eating my whole life! I don't mean that in a derogatory way, just I guess I take it for granted that my parents fed me a wide variety of foods at an early age....anyway...... Yea for you for trying new food!! I love love love bell…

I hear ya! Fat Blaster is one of my favorites. I usually do it after Turbo Sculpt. I am ticked because we use our XBox 360 for both games and movies. I think one of the kids took it out and lost it because it's NOWHERE to be found. It's not like you can replace just one video. I've also been in a cranky mood because this…

Hi!!

Actually, as long as the tattoo was done in a state-regulated/licenced facility, it can probably be done right away. As long as a piercing has been done with a sterile needle, you can. But if neither has happened, then the wait is a year.

Great job! Yah, the person who originally started this thread hasn't shown her face once! I wonder what happened to her?
