Majored in Geology, minored in Biology & secondary education. Later tested out of Chemistry. Use them everyday. Management in healthcare is a good choice, that field is healthy and growing! Good luck!! The other field that is hiring like crazy is engineering of all sorts.

I made it 7 days and had to take a rest, it's pretty hard if you are starting out. It's pretty hard on my knees so I'm considering doing it every other day (modified) and doing Zumba or something else at the gym the other days. Good luck!

A friend was telling me about something you sprinkle on your food so you would eat less. I told her to get some cayenne pepper which would have the same effect for her :) Its all silly stuff. I remember this thing my aunt had that strapped around your butt and shook your fat off! It was a mostly great toy for little kids…

The water walking class info at my local Y says 30 min in water is equal to 2 hr on land. Does that sound right?

I did my first class last week & loved it! I couldn't keep up, its been 20 yrs, 2 kids and back surgery since I moved like that. I do agree about the shoe thing, I had trouble doing salsa circles or something like that bc my shoes stick. I thought the aerobic demand was maybe 8 out of 10 based on how much I can stand. We…

walmart had shorts (long ones too) and capris about $7 or $8, tops too.

Around here the local "career center" that deals with unemployment claims knows the most about jobs opening up. My husband was jumping around jobs the last couple years after a long term auto-related job was cut. There is also LinkdIn and several other job sites, go to the websites for companies you are interested in…

Keep at the exercises prescribed to strengthen the area. It was 2-3 years after my back surgery before I was feeling like me again. At four years out, my knees are my problem when I workout, back is fine I've only lost flexibility. I can't to back bends or walkovers anymore. Truth be told I hadn't done those since college…

I posted my recipe for pizza on a taco shell. I put onions & tomato slices on it so it pretty low cal. Its really nice since you can make each on topped differently so my kids get pepperoni & i get vegis. Sometimes I thinly slice fresh jalapenos for this recipe too. YUM!!! If you can't find the recipe: on a soft taco shell…

ROFL! My son is almost 12 and he likes the girls in bikinis at the pool. He's decided to work toward life guard training so he can be paid to watch them! Yikes, when did they grow up??? btw, I want Matthew McConaughey on my cake!!

I was 25 when my first was born. I gained 50+ lbs due to not being able to do much and had a premie. After a good round of PPD, I put him in a stroller and went to the mall to walk where the weather was controlled. This is much easier with babies, toddlers whine, older kids beg....so use this tactic while it might actually…

I measure at belly button and at the fattest part just below that. I keep track of both. i also measure my upper thigh, another problem spot.

I imagine how it would be if I could exercise when I'm ready, not after everyone else in my house is taken care of, for the moment. What if I didn't have to cook for me and for kids? What if ..... I didn't have to finish mowing the yard, etc and got to eat supper before 8pm??? Yes i wonder.... I don't know where I would…

WOW!!! I'm gonna keep pushing myself through this! I need this improvement too. Thanks for posting the pics! talk about motivation for people like me. Day two of shred, been working out regular for 3 wks, & only gained weight so far, muscle i guess. WAY TO GO!!!!
-
I'm in! I've only been on here for one week, but loving it so far! My goals: 1. go to my first Zumba class this week 2. get up to do my 30day shred each day this week 3. keep within 250 calories of my goal each day
-
My problem too. I love wine and dark chocolate. So I'm giving up one or the other each day. But that means at the end of a day, if I've kept my calories down, I get the reward of one or the other. So I use it as my reward to keep me motivated.
-
Oh how I wish Netflix was an option, internet is too slow where I live. I found 30 day Shred at Target for $9 yesterday. Did my first workout this morning. It was pretty hard since all i've done for a few years was walk or swim. My back & knees are holding up so far, but the knees did make some frightening noises in the…

Walking in local parks becomes a new adventure when I give the kids a camera to find beautiful pictures of things. We just collect them on the computer so its free. Leaf, flower, insect identification books can be used at the library if you don't have some on hand. Free & educational!

Wow! that is my danger zone too!:frown: Kids in bed and the munchies start! I am trying to distract myself with activity when the urge to snack starts, but I 'm not great at that. I'm hoping for some good suggestions on here! Help us out! :

I'm 5'9", was taller, but lost height with back injury/surgery. I'm a wide shouldered busty tall woman. It probably wouldn't show so much if I wasn't taller than my husband. All my friends are shorter than me as well. It makes me feel a little giant at times. I've been as large as a sz16 but now in a 8/10 and working to…

I can relate to some of this. I was 195 at my max and have been as low as 142. I'm tackling this before all the lost weight comes back. I got to the 195 while dealing with severe back pain, to the point of not being able to walk. After 5 years of pain meds and all the eating to curb the nausea, I finally had back surgery.…

Add me! I need support too!

I will! I need support too, so others out there, add me also :)

I just signed up, don't know how much I can lose in a week, but I'm here to try. I lost 50 lbs 3 years ago and now I've gained it all back. I'm ashamed of that. I was so happy when I lost it, then I let things really slide the past year. We can support each other on here w/o judging like I deal with in real life. Good…
