Oh Gawd... my daughter is trying out for "The Real World"
She is 22, cute, and is graduating college this year. I SO wish she would continue on for her master's, but... kids! Also, I have a friend who tried out for the Voice and made it through the first round. He has to go to N.Y on April 21 for the second audition. Has anyone you know tried out for any TV reality shows?

Anyone 45 or older with before/after pics?
Hi. I have been doing this diet/exercise thing for three months now. I have been doing really well in terms of inches lost, but weight is hardly moving. I do a lot of weightlifting, core work and cardio five days a week. I look way better than I did in Janurary. I will post before/after pics when I reach my goal. But I am…

NSV! Went to rub my neck and back and....
I had a long day at work today (yes, I work Saturdays, I do hair) and when I got home and sat down I reached up to rub my neck and under my neck, where my upper part of my back is and....wait for it......it was HARD! I used to feel flabby fatty skin when I did that. I have always done that for many years because it tends…

I love my husband
I am sitting here getting over a hangover and being lazy and my hubby, who played music last night at the bar where I got drunk, didn't drink, played music all night for free for a benefit, and today is doing all kinds of stuff like tilling a garden, fixing the lawnmower, fixing the brakes on my car, so I can go to the gym…

Just bought my first powder protein shake
Ok, so now what? I made a shake with frozen fruits (mixed fruit) and cream cheese. It's what I had, and it tasted really good. I was wondering about other recipes/ ideas.

Anyone have a heart rate monitor?
I exercise frequently at the gym and I have lost four inches from my waist, and three from my hips, and have had to buy new clothes because my old ones are falling of me. This all happened in the last three months. But I have only lost five pounds. I don't know how it's possible to see such a difference in measurements,…

I don't know what to do to lose any more weight
I have been dieting and exercising for three months now. I have lost four inches on my hips and three on my waist. (gained two in my thighs, maybe because of building muscle, not sure). I go to cardio classes, body combat classes, bodypump, all at my gym at six in the morning five days a week. I burn a lot of calories, as…

Which exercise do you struggle with the most?
I take classes in the mornings at my gym, and during the class on Wednesdays, CVworks, there is one where you lay on your side and prop up on shoulder. Then, keeping your legs straight, you have to lift your hips and hold while lifting the top leg in reps. This is sooo hard! I usually can't even keep my hips lifted. The…

How do you set your ratios?
Or whatever you call them. I see on here where people say they have set their diaries to 40/30/30 or something like that. How do you do that? I have gone to my diary settings and can't find where I can do this. Also, what would be a good ratio for different things like carbs, protein, and fat?

Anyone tried a diet food delivery service?
Last year, before I started my diet I tried a place called personalcheftogo.com and it was great. The food came every week and it was all fresh, not frozen. But I stopped it for whatever reason, and now I would like to start one again, but a diet one. There are many out there and I was wondering if anyone tried any of…

confused about bmr, bmi, goal, net calories-too many numbers
I keep seeing posts about eating this and that between bmr and whatever calories, makes no sense to me! I have lost ten pounds and eight inches off hips, waist, and chest with hard work and determination. But maybe if I understood this numbers game, I could lose quicker. Can someone explain it to me? Please explain like…
