  • My Charge HR recently broke and I am outside the 1 year warranty period. They offered a 25% discount that can be applied to purchase a new item (I'll likely end up upgrading). I didn't really push to get the discount, so I assumed it was standard practice, however the previous posters now have me questioning. Maybe the…
  • I used them for awhile and found I actually liked the shakes with cold coffee as the liquid.
  • Bump. I was recently turned onto spaghetti squash and have been looking for different ideas. Thanks for sharing!
  • I'm going to be out there a few days before you. My plan is that I'm -currently exercising more, eating pretty clean, etc. -planning to make relatively healthy meal choices out there (although I tend to consume carbs when I know I'm going to be drinking- seems to help me from getting tipsy too fast) -still planning to…
  • Yep, have the same problem here! Although this is terrible for me to admit, it doesn't bother me too much- as long as it gets good and red during an AM workout on a workday. Then EVERYONE who sees me knows I was motivated to get up and exercise (or they think I have a horrendous sunburn). I hate it when it happens on…
  • You've never met my sister- I love her, but she's mean, even in real life... :sad:
  • As of April 20, BS 1 is DONE!!!!! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile:
  • Ok, so Wednesday didn't happen (overslept), but today did! I can definitely feel it and definitely pushed harder than I would on my own, but I really enjoyed it! Planning to go back and see if my butt (among other things) can be TRX'd into shape :bigsmile: Thanks, again, for the feedback!

  • Friend request sent! Like you, my sister and I ave both run several marathons- her around 10+ and me 7- but are considered "larger" (perhaps by general standards, but definitely by marathoner standards). First marathon, I remember thinking "I'm going to be able to eat so much stuff AND lose weight!" Yeah, ummmm, THAT…
  • I have it on the agenda for Wednesday morning. I'll just have to remind myself that "everyone starts somewhere" when I can't totally keep up. But, hey, this morning was spin and I didn't keep up there either- haha.. Thanks for the feedback!

  • I have never done a TRX class, but have been strongly considering; however, for some reason, I'm having an irrational reluctance to actually attend. I don't know how "set" the routine is, but could your provide some additional information about it? I've read the class description from my gym and know you use your body…

  • These look good- will have to give them a try! Thanks for posting!
  • Thanks for posting this topic! I've only had eggplant once, but am curious about it. After looking for recipes and getting a ton of eggplant parmesan, I gave up. I'll have to give some of these a try to see if it's something I want to add into my veggie rotation.

  • ALMOST there, and sooooooo excited! Actually, at this point, I have the money in the bank- ready and waiting... But, since my boyfriend introduced me to the program, and has been SUPER supporting during the process, I told him I would wait for him since it looks like we should be able to pay off our credit cards at the…
  • I'll have to take a look at the sites mentioned. I've completed Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University twice and am ALMOST debt free, except my mortage (come on April!!!) With his program, I've been doing a monthly budget now for 19 months, but I'm always looking for something that might make it better/easier since I'm…
  • Bump- I'm going through a bread making phase at the moment!
  • I echo someone's sentiments about doing this every 1-2 years. Over time I've found my over-pronation fluxes (sometimes I need more motion control, sometimes I need less). Once I'm in a good pair of shoes, many of my recurrent problems either lessen or go away completely. At least at the stores I've been to, they don't…
  • Tried, and failed miserably, with the "new" WW a few months back. I couldn't stand the database, but I'm willing to try it along with MFP.
  • Excited to see this topic- SkinnyTaste is my go-to site! Will have to look through the other suggestions when time permits!
  • Bump- need to get more use out of my crock pot!
  • Haha- it's always good to have people tell you what you don't want to hear (just do it!) :happy: Thank you for the suggestions, I'll have to check those out. I made it part way through the radio show yesterday, and signed up for a new class starting mid-August. It sounds like "Best of" tab will be a really good section and…
  • Found a class and got signed up (starting in about a month)- turns out the classes weren't showing b/c they were waiting for the announcement of the new FPU format! Yay!!
  • Hi Aaron & Joe! I've been quiet on here lately because I've basically fallen apart on both watching my food intake/exercise AND my finances. Since you've both been successful with DR, any suggestions for getting back on track (other than "just do it" :laugh: ). I've tried searching DR's site to see about getting into…
  • Awww, I love watching cooking shows while exercising- I find it very motivating!!
  • English Setter, Magnum (turned 10 in May). Sweet, energetic, and LOVES to run/play!
  • Wow, that sounds very challenging- both mentally and physically!! What is the typical total distance? I've run a few marathons and they can be challenging physically, but there's usually not a lot of "thinking" about it- in fact I normally spend most of my race trying to disengage (just remembering right foot, left foot).…
  • At least for me, I just don't buy ice cream. I don't have the self-control to have a container and eat just a little.... I'm more inclined to have bananas in the house, even though I don't love the taste. It gives the texture/pleasure associated with ice cream, but I imagine I could eat a little and walk away...
