If I could pick a partner

Clothing Exchange
I have a few size 12's, nice work clothes from White House Black Market. Is anyone interested in having them? If so, then let me know and we can meet up for coffee and I will give them to you. I hate to give the really nice stuff to Goodwill.

The Right Shoes!
I love Zumba, but dancing in gym shoes were just not working for me. They tend to be hard to twist in and it puts stress on my knee joint. I went to my local Rogans Shoe store where they carry all sorts of sport shoes. I found a pair of Capezio jazz shoes that are wonderful. I just did my first workout with them and they…

Exercising Like Grok
I have just found out that I have been eating Primal for the past year. I didn't know what to call it, but I just knew what made my body feel better and have been doing that. After reading Mark Sisson's book, I have started the Exercise like Grok part of the plan. I was wondering if anyone else is a "Groker", and if you…

Things in Context
Ever notice that the stuff you post on MFP, if taken out of context, would be really bad? Like: "Way to keep going down!" "You total Loser!" "Just a little bit left to go!" What have you typed that would be funny out of these boards?

Down 57 and have 15 more to go!
I have tried every diet on the planet and only when I started working with my current doctor did the weight finally start to come off. I thought I would share a before and current picture: I have a few more pounds to go. I hope that by August I will have the rest of the weight off and ready to face the world with a new…

Zumba is so much FUN!
I don't care how much of an idiot I look like when I dance because Zumba is fun! I am doing the Zumba Wii and in the privacy of my home, my extra rolls can wiggle and jiggle to the music and eventually they can wiggle-jiggle away!

Cookbook Apps
I have been a long time Apple user, and I just got a new iPad. I downloaded the iCookbook app and I like it very much! With the new iPad, I can add my own recipes with voice control. I can speak my recipes, and it types it for me! I can list the ingredients and it has a place to add the food aisle for shopping purposes and…

New to Group

Making Your OWN Greek Yogurt
Buy a nice Plain yogurt. Line a colander with moistened coffee filters and dump in the yogurt. Wait 20 minutes and check on it. Most of the whey should be drained out and you are left with Greek Yogurt. The whey part can be saved to add to your protein shakes if you like! There is no need to pay twice the price for the…

Can a Ball Make a Difference?
I loathe exercise! I love reading! The combination of the two make it hard for me to do any kind of exercise. So what I have done is to buy a large exercise ball to sit on when I read. I bounce, I pulse, I roll my hips hula style, I shift my weight from one leg to the other, I lay back and engage my abs. This has really…
