PT Recommended too much Cardio
Okay, so I'm going back to the gym and decided that, while I'm losing weight via counting calories, I want to do some strength training and some cardio alongside it. The personal trainer at Planet Fitness seemed to know a lot more than the last person I worked with (spoke about specifics in regards to the different zones…

Dog Success Stories
I'm still a WIP, so no real success for me. However, my dog used to be overweight and I took pictures through her process of losing weight. Chloe is a 9 year old Australian Cattledog Mix. She was diagnosed with a Luxating Patella and early signs of arthritis which really kicked my butt in gear. Since she couldn't exercise…

California Pizza Kitchen is my new favorite
Why have I never tried these before? I love pizza, and I tend to allow myself pizza every week so I don't go on a pizza rampage (those poor pizza souls, may they rest in peace) months into the future. Anyway, I bought one at Wal-Mart the other day (also available at HARPS, for you midwest peoples.), and they are divine. On…

How to strengthen a weak ankle
Following advice from a thread here, I decided my next cardio day would be on the elliptical doing c25k. It was okay. I kind of have a big bust and mostly ran hunched forward, but I finished Week 1 Day 1. However, half way through, my ankle started giving out. I have twisted, sprained, and possibly injured it with…

Creating Endurance on Elliptical
5'4 256 lb. I started last Wednesday. I had a workout plan created by a personal trainer at my gym, and it has me doing cardio every day. Only 10-15 minutes 3 days a week (which is when I do the weight training prior to the cardio), and 30-60 the other 3 days a week. So far I'm 3 days in, and I've been finding it difficult…

Big bras! (Above DDDD) Where do you get them?
That's right ladies. If you have a great source of bras for the big busted, share them in this thread. I'm a 46I, and I tend to shop from barenecessities. However, they're pretty limited in the style for that size. Actually, there was only one brand of Sports Bra for my size. >.> It also took two tries to get the right…

I was so excited to see that the Patronus Quiz is now on Pottermore! Take the quiz and tell us what your patronus is! Mine (apparently) is rare. EDIT: I'm in Slytherin (Though I feel more like a Slytherpuff with more Hufflepuff than Slytherin), and my Illvermorny house is Thunderbird. :)

Shoes to use in the gym for those with wide feet?
Good morning everyone! So, I'm currently on track for losing weight, and I've been using the elliptical 6 days a week (3 of those are only for 15 minutes after doing strength training. The other 3 are 30-45 minutes), and I've noticed my current shoes make the front half of my foot numb after a while. I'm assuming it's…

Limited Ingredient Meatloaf
I'm not certain where the Recipe's forum went, so I'll have to post this here. I'm trying to make some meals out of a LOT of 73% ground beef that I bought thinking it wouldn't last until the end of the month. I'm looking for a VERY limited ingredient meat loaf recipe. I can't recall how my mother used to make it, but it…

What to do with 75% lean ground beef
Long story short, this month was strict on the budget, so I got 75% lean ground beef. A LOT of it. I need ideas to work those into meals for the rest of the month. I saw that crockpot cheeseburger thread, and I like the idea. It'll be higher calorie, and I'll have to compensate for that, but I like it. What else do you…
