Using Pully Weights Instead of Free Weights
Is this going to be detrimental to my goal? I hate free weights, I don't feel stable enough, plus all the juice monkeys at the gym take up the free weights AND the mirrors.

Different Scales...What do I do?
I just bought a new scale, and according to the new one, I'm 7lbs heavier than what my old scale says. Now keep in mind my old scale was like a rotery phone, and my new one is all fancy and digital. Should I just add 7lbs to my weight and say I've only lost 18lbs and keep trucking along? Should I change my starting weight…

Bike Computers...are they worth it
I have to admit I'm not a tech geek, but this looks pretty sweet. They're bike computers, like pedometers. What do you think, are they worth $235? Or do you think they're going to be like my HRM and just be an expensive timer? http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_listing.jsp?FOLDER<>folder_id=2534374302693003

Kinect Your Shape Work Out Program
I need some suggestions. I do Kinect - Your Shape but I just sort of jump around...I mostly do the Cardio with the personal trainer and the cardio boxing. Is there some sort of routine I should be doing? Cardio and toning one day, cardio and strength, etc? Or should I just be happy that I burn 500 calories per half an hour?

I have a confession to make
Well I have more than one actually...I don't log the honey I put in my tea in the morning...I also don't complete my entry if I fell off the wagon...i log it but I don't hit enter. I include "laying on the floor dying" as part of my pushup time and I don't eat good on weekends.

A magic calorie ride
By Kate Lunau Overeating, studies show, is fuelled by the same brain mechanisms that drive addiction to drugs like heroin Bob, an office supervisor in Toronto, considers himself an addict.

Do we all become narcissistic when we reach our goal?
Seriously when we get "skinny" or "healthy" or however you want to describe it, are we all going to take mass amounts of pictures of ourselves? Flex in every shiny surface?

Hard Candies
I was wondering what a good choice would be for hard candies. I like Werther's Orginial minis for 15 calories a piece. What else would be good to eat while sitting at my desk?
