  • He was in DW - the dad in Fires of Pompeii. You can watch The Thick of It on Hulu - warning: lots of profanity, as in mostly with a few normal words thrown in now & then. They do make some DW refs :) Also World War Z is on Netflix and Capaldi is in it as a W.H.O. Doctor. Disappointing movie if you've read the book but okay…
  • Proud Whovian here - watching it every Friday night as a tween wearing a floppy hat & eating gummy bears (closest thing I could think of to jelly babies at the time :). My favorite is Sylvest McCoy - despite some of the horrible episodes they put him through he was a fantastic Doctor. Thanks to my Dad, I can proudly say I…
  • I understand exactly how you feel. Congratulations & keep going!
  • I like geo-caching. Nice walk, picnic in the park and a little adventure.
  • John, You deserve good things. You are entitled to your share of happiness. Don't beat yourself up. You are an attractive person. You are fun to be with. You are good enough, smart enough and dog-gone it, I'm sure people like you.
  • Just listened to the sample tracks in iTunes - nice!
  • My happy side thinks: Oh, new Cold Play? I'll have to check it out. My sardonic side thinks: Is he just trying to stir up trouble? :)
  • I weight myself whenever I'm near a scale (which is why I don't keep one at home :). I use Trendweight.com synced through my fitbit account (lets me do manual logs) so I can see the trend downward even when different scales give me different readings at different times of day. I used to be so sad/annoyed when I'd weigh…

  • Honestly, I'm trying not to think about it. As soon as I do I'll be crawling the web for spoilers & obsessing about it all the time.

  • I do this. I have a Polar FT7 (strap/watch model) & use it to manually adjust my calories burned for workouts on MFP & log HR to fitbit. Sometimes MFP is accurate, sometimes way off (in both directions). I also sync with Trendweight via FitBit. No pro tips, other than I'm looking at switching to the bluetooth…
  • Dramatic change! Keep it up - you are doing fantastic.
  • Anything that involves the phrase 'one weird trick'.
  • It will pass if you push through it. Everything suggested helps. Look into foam rollers - using them right after & the next day really helps - hurts like a deep massage but you feel so much better after.
  • Not sure if it was mentioned, but your first step should be to go to a running store and get the right shoes. Tell the staff you are a walker & want to get into running. They'll have you walk/jog to analyse your gait and get your shoes that help with any issues you may have so you don't start off on the wrong foot :) Note…
  • As a latte - 4oz espresso, 16oz skim milk, steamed together (makes it creamier). No sweetener. 17g protein, 950mg potassium & half my calcium for the day. If I want a mocha I blend in a little chocolate protein powder too.
  • 30-day shred was my 'gateway' workout too. I never had any real opinion on her & just started it because so many here used it. I had pretty good results in that it really increased my general endurance & fitness levels, rather than sculpting anything :) I think I lost 6? lb while using the dvd. Later I started listening to…
  • I have minor issues when running level or on an incline. But going up steps kill my knees - walking or running. Doc told me to just keep doing what I do and it'll improve as the muscles around the knees get stronger. I do walk/run drills. You use different muscles when you walk vs when you run so it gives each set a break…
  • http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?dbid=90&tname=nutrient or http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/food-sources-of-potassium.php I like to use spinach in my salads instead of leaf lettuce - better nutrients & loads of potassium.
  • I'd say do as many as you can military style, then switch when it gets too hard.
  • I guessed the 5th, actually between 1 & 2 - 17.5% smaller. And evidently not an apple, but a perfect rectangle. Thanks, OP!
  • I went blonde for a while (mistake) and if I remember right it was around $120 for the touch-ups. Now I go to JCPenney - found a woman who does magic with my hair. Every 4-5 weeks, $60 for a cut & threading brows + $15 tip. For color, I do my own. Clairol demi soy from Sally's to darken a tad, a protein treatment & shine…
  • Imagine you have to walk to the store a mile away. Those first few steps don't seem to take you very far, but keep taking steps and soon you'll be at your destination. It's all about progress. ...and now I have that silly christmas song in my head 'put one foot in front of the other....'
  • Where I grew up, dinner was always the biggest meal of the day. So at my grandma's it was breakfast, dinner, supper and at home it was breakfast, lunch, dinner.
  • Completed the Warrior Dash in Earlham today. Whiny parts: It was hot and sooo many up/down hill climbs. They should have put that mud bath in the middle of the race, say 1/4 mile before the vertical net or halfway through the race. It was filthy but refreshing. I whimped on 2 obstacles. I tried but had to pass by the…
  • A few that I loved enough to track down copies of most of the episodes: Due South Forever Knight Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea (Nickelodeon cartoon) Classic Dr Who
  • Definitely make an appt to get checked out by your doctor. You don't want some underlying issue affecting you that you don't know about. If you know, then you can work around it. Like others have said, start walking. Let your body tell you for how long or how fast. Rest when needed. LRR. You'll build up cardio endurance…
  • That's a worthy goal and I'm sure you are up to the challenge. Just make sure to keep your eye on the journey too and don't be mad with yourself if you are 'short' and only lost 40 or 50 - that's still a huge achievement. I see a lot of folks who berate themselves because they didn't reach their goal and forget to be…
