Thanks for all the comments! I know that rationally speaking, boobs are just fat, so they'd have to go down as my fat% goes down, but I guess I'm just surprised there hasn't been much of a change yet.

I've been thinking long and hard about this one, and I have decided what my "weapon" is. I carry a great big Clue-by-four: Basically, for me, this means being aware of my needs and cravings and using my understanding to make better choices. For example, I don't believe in diets. I believe that if you want to get healthier,…

I think we have one if you want to borrow it. Rose uses a heart rate monitor instead and I will be getting one myself (hopefully) for one of the upcoming holidays. Not sure where it is...I'll have to look around. Let me know and I can bring it over to your job. :-)

Lucky for you, I think I've walked every inch of this city by now. ;-) It you go down to the River Walk here in town there are double flights of concrete stairs (landing between) you can use; also there is a long wooden staircase behind the YMCA that also leads down there. Either of those might be helpful if the weather is…

Sent in my weekly totals...figured I'd post them here as well: Miles: 16 Airplanes: 120 Extra credit: Sent a greeting to all team members and friend-ed all who accepted. :-D Looking forward to the next challenge!

Height: 5'4 Age: 29 Starting Weight: 198.8 (since I joined MFP at least) Challenge Start Weight: 180 My Goals for this Challenge: 1) Continue to strengthen my bad ankle and work on balance. (Broke my left leg near the ankle in '09. It is getting better, but still stiffens up and makes me limp from time to time. Wreaked…

Go team!

Sign me up! I've been prepping for Z-Day for years! :-D

Hi, I'm Bree. I'm 29 years old and live in Oswego, NY. My wife went on a fitness kick after losing some weight due to stomach issues and stumbled across this site. After a few months of gentle prodding, I got on board as well. My goal right now is to get down to 140 lbs (10 lbs lower than I've ever managed)...so I have 45…

Don't ever scare me like that again!!! I'm just so glad you're going to be alright. Though, on a lighter note, a part of me was amused to be on the other side of the hospital bed this time. :-)

I was at my most fit when I was in high school. I, like most teens, seemed to have ballooned in middle school. I wanted to be healthier...alright, I wanted to look hot. My deadline was prom. After about a year I was looking pretty good. Partly my success was due to heavy amounts of exercise (Cardio Karate) in hour long…

-How heavy I looked in my wedding pictures. It never looked that bad in the mirror :-( -SWEATING! I hate how easy it seemed to get over-heated. Every time I got sweaty I felt so self-conscious like people really noticed and chalked it up to my weight. Just another fat, sweaty chick. -Getting out of breath so easy (phone…

Don't worry about it! We've all had a medical freak-out moment at some time or another. I agree with everyone else: try not to panic and talk to your doc. It's probably just the bc catching up to you, and even if it's something more serious (heaven-forbid), there's nothing you can do until you can get in to see him/her and…

I didn't use it for an all-day count; only when I was working (wrestling dogs, scrubbing, ect). I even made sure to subtract my "calories burned from daily activity" to get a more accurate number. We also made sure to program in my data so the readings would be right. As for the type, it's just a heart rate monitor. Strap…

Bananas are about the only fruit I don't like, but I get what you mean about drinking. I tend to like Carnation Instant Breakfast shakes for breakfast, especially before work. I don't like to eat when I first get up (prefer to wait an hour or so), but milk is fine. That way I can get some calories in BEFORE I go off to…

Together? *laughs* I do love nuts. My wife bought me a bag of pistachios (my fave) as a calorie filler. Only thing is they kill my already less-than-healthy sodium intake. Gonna have to buy some unsalted peanuts maybe.

Thing is, I'm currently using the "sedentary" settings. Although I burn a lot at work, I'm only part-time. Other than weekends and holidays, I'm basically a slug. I've been taking long walks everyday to try and build myself up, but I'm not sure if all that boils down to "active." Maybe "lightly active?"

What can I say? You look wonderful and I want to share in what is making you so happy! Besides, you know me...now it's a competition. ;-) I love you and I'm looking forward to teasing the guys.

Wish I could share. I'm wearing a 38 G and while it's in proportion for my current size, it makes exercising uncomfortable. Small must be tough, but I wouldn't know. Unfortunately, I've been a D since I was 13. :-/

The calf issue is another annoying one. I love high, sexy boots (heels a must), but I've had the same trouble. I haven't had the wide issue, but my feet are small. I wear a 6 1/2 or 7 depending on the type. Dress shoes tend smaller than sneakers. Also, what is this trend with all the cute little slip-ons not covering your…

What would we do without Lane Bryant? :-D

That does look like fun! I wonder how hard it is to keep momentum. I have a bad ankle. Biking is fine, but I can't run. The Zombie Apocalypse will be my doom! :-p

Can the beans be made ahead of time and stored for a couple of days? How? Reheat value?

You mix the peanut butter into the yogurt? That might be interesting. My wife does that with organic fruit spread. That's pretty good. I <3 peanut butter.

Eggs are fine. Hard boiled is a fave. I have a love/hate relationship with tuna (the only fish I do eat). It goes something like this: 1) Hey, I haven't had tuna in a long time. Om nom nom... 2) Tuna kick lasts a few weeks. 3) One day I bite down on a bone hidden in my sandwich. UGH! I'm never eating tuna again! 4) Several…

We do have a small yard, but we rent. Not sure how the landlord would feel about us digging the place up. That and my neighbor's kids and their friends are largely a pack of delinquents. Would have to figure a way to keep the buggers out.

Guilty :-D I love gaming. Console, computer or even *gasp* tabletop & LARP. Gamer-girls FTW! Current console love is Dragon Age: Origins. I generally stick to RPGs and FPS. Some faves: Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Ico, Silent Hill (any), Resident Evil 4, Mass Effect, Fatal Frame, Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life (guilty…

I had mine out in 2003. While I don't have constant problems, I find that too much sugar or fat (fast food being the usual culprit) eaten quickly will send me to the bathroom fairly soon after eating. This isn't always the case, but is the only correlation I can draw. Annoying, but livable as a condition. Much better than…

Soda...definitely soda. I needs me my sugary caffeine!
