Go to a bike shop and get fitted. There are different frame sizes and they will fit you for a bike that will be a joy to ride. Tell them what your price range is, but keep in mind a decent hybrid/mountain bike starts at around $250-$300. Most bike shops have bikes they took in on consignment or trade they sell at a lower…

Oh yes, I would wear one. I currently wear a size 10/12, with a DD top and have a bikini I found that went by cup size and wear it. I don't go out in it as much (nowhere to go since my jet ski and boat are gone) but I will wear it to my mom's at the pool, in my backyard, etc. If you are not too sure of yourself wearing…

I get a good cardio workout with the kettlebells so I log it under "circuit training".

vanfox, I sent you a friend request. I am the same way, but only after a little over a month.

*drool* It all looks good!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Although it would be more motivating for me if the picture was that of CeeLo Green.

We are on the same wavelength :laugh: I did't see your post.

Can you eat before you go? That way you will not be hungry at the party. Is it at a house or restaurant? Are you supposed to bring any food? If so, bring some veggies and hummus.

Thanks for sharing! It sounds like a great site especially since it searches the whole internet for recipes for you. I was on Group Recipes, but it only gives you recipes in their database for your ingredients.

Ooohh..so many good recipes!! Thanks everyone! I want to experiment and make a big batch on Sunday and freeze them for the week.

I have one from Victoria's Secret, and I am 36DD. It is a convertable one that can be strapless, halter, X-back, I love it.

I get a good cardio workout when using kettlebells, so I would say yes. The cardio I get is equivalent to when I do 30 Day Shred.

I recently started using kettlebells and bought a DVD, Kettlebell Bombshell and love it so far. The instructor and I have been messaging back and forth and she suggests doing 2 sets of each workout (I am only using 10 lbs. and she recommends 15-20 lbs.) So far I love the workout, but have not been on a regular schedule as…

I am in the same boat, trying to quit smoking and exercise. Any cardio kills me, but I can see that my endurance is increasing. I have not started C25K yet but want to soon now that the weather is getting nicer.

I used to get Taco Bell ads all the time when I first joined.

I will be trying this. Someone else said you can't taste the spinach at all.

I worked customer service for a phone company and one name I came across was Baby Girl Green. Also a Candy Cane. I know someone who named their kids Oona and Vladimir. My name is Aija, pronounced eye-ya. It is Latvian.

That is great!!

Wow! You look great!!! I hope to get to that point someday.

I love flavorful food too!! You can use Lite coconut milk to save fat and calories, and dried chickpeas that have soaked in water overnight to reduce the sodium. The calorie count includes the rice. Coconut Chicken Curry Serves 4 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large chunks 1/2 can coconut milk (you can use…

My suggestion: get rid of the instant breakfasts and Slim Fast shakes. Eat eggs, or peanut butter toast, fruit, foods that are better for you. If you still want to do a shake because it is easy for you, blend your own with protein powder, some frozen fruit, a little yogurt, and some ice. Keep with whole foods, and remember…

I read somewhere that even sugar-free sweetners can increase your craving for sweets.

That is great! I love Jamie and how he is trying to educate people about what "real" food is.

Isn't eating better great? And a few paenut M&Ms won't harm you. I am a bread/chips/pasta person but really limit myself now.

Bump to read at home. No Youtube allowed at work :sad:

I am glad your doctor got back with you about this. I am on Depo too, and missed 2 months of not getting my shot and had no bleeding at all. My nurse told me about the ibuprofen regimen for halting the spotting (if you are only spotting). I never did it because by that time I had stopped spotting and I would have been…

Thanks for sharing this, It is what I needed. I am going to take another pic of myself tonight and compare it to the one I tok 5 weeks. ago. I have only lost 4 lbs., but I feel like that is a normal fluctuation and not really weight lost. And I have done all the "right" things. Eating back exercise calories, eating a…

I have some JVC Marshmallows. They have a squishy foam that you compress and put into your ear, and the foam expands to fit your ear. I can't wear earbuds at all. Or you could try the full over-the-head ones.
