Looks like it's just you and me
Oh, and I'm not from Winnipeg, even. Rural Manitoba, actually. Seems to be a little lonely in this group.

Strength program recommendation for a kinda'-not-so-newb
Hello! This is a question for my husband. He's one of these guys who has a naturally low body-fat, and he has pretty good upper body strength from the manual labour he does as part of his job. His legs, well...let's just say he prefers not to wear shorts. Back in the day (somewhere between ages 18-30) he worked out…

No, no, nooooo!! (Bombers grief)
So sad! So close yet so far! What a night.

anyone tried a ryka heart rate monitor?
Has anyone tried a ryka heart rate monitor? They seem to be less expensive than a polar (significantly less). Everyone raves about polar but I don't feel good about spending that much money right now. However, if a ryka one is useless I don't want to waste money on one, either. Anyone tried one?

Help me pick an outfit, please!
So, I have a big Christmas party coming up with some major bigwigs I work for and I'm very nervous and excited. I've never been to an event this major before in my life. Very fun, but I'm such a newbie. So, it's not black tie, but it's described as "festive attire." I ordered a few things and tried them on. They're shown…

Would it be weird to bring my own scale?
So, we're going to my parents this weekend, which I find to be a challenge for a variety of reasons (I won't go into that now). I'll still be able to log in to MFP, so that's no biggie. The thing is, I have been weighing in on Sundays, and it also seems to be my lowest day of the week weight-wise. (I seem to have fairly…

what should I buy next?
So I'm thinking about getting a new video or wii game. I want something fun, so no, I don't want to try P90X or Jillian Michaels right now. I was thinking about something for the wii, either EA sports active 2 or maybe trying zumba for the wii. Any recommendations or reviews of either? Or, if I want to try zumba would a…

White jeans...yay or nay?
So, here's the scoop. I tried on some white jeans today, and I really liked them. They were on an awesome sale, too, and they're nice quality, Calvin Kleins, and a size 10 (yay!). However, I can't decide whether to keep them or not. Despite the fact that I like them, all of my indoctrination on dressing slim tells me they…

I am having an incredible day!
I just have to share because I am so enthused right now and I would love to spread my happiness around! I am so pumped about my new exercise bike. It is really comfortable and a pleasure to ride, plus it has a heart rate monitor which, as I have calculated, means I have actually been burning even more calories than I had…

Recommended BMI - is it realistic?
So, I've been feeling very motivated lately until I calculated my BMI. I'm just barely out of the obese zone into overweight. According to BMI, I would have to lose another 28 pounds to be healthy. At my skinniest ever I was still technically overweight according to BMI. I find it very discouraging and am wondering about…

Starting...again
Well, hello. This message board thing is very new to me. Normally I never have talked about my weight loss with anyone; as with my weight gain, I just wanted to pretend the whole weight issue just didn't exist. Even though I don't actually know any of you, I'm still nervous and feeling vulnerable. However, reading some of…
