Could use some encouragement
I could use some support right now. My husband has been in Iraq for 18 months (we saw him every 5 months) and will be home in 18 days. I feel like these last few days are going by so slowly! I had lost so much weight, then a series of health problems (bell's palsy, extremely invasive testing for said bell's palsy,…

Exercise while sick
I've heard that you should only exercise with a cold if the cold is above the neck. Anyone else heard this? I've had a killer cough for a week now (the remnants of a cold I had 3 weeks ago), and it's one of those hacking, dry, lungs in my throat coughs. I went for a long walk tonight and it was killer! I don't want to stop…

I don't like white meatloaf, and was really tempted to…

What music do you work out to?
I'm not sure if there's a post for this or not, but I was wondering what music you have on your iPod? What's on your running/working out playlist? I need some new upbeat tunes!!

My first spin class
It totally killed me! I've been gymming it for at least 6 months now and thought I was getting in pretty good shape. But that spin class proved me wrong. The first 20 minutes were very hard, but after I got over that hump, I felt great. I'm scared to see how my legs react tomorrow. But all in all, a great workout. And it…

I'm new to this
Hi all! I'm new here, just trying to lose some weight. My name is Hope, and I have a husband who is currenty overseas for 15-18 months. He's been gone for 2 months and we made a pact to both lose 40 lbs (I've lost some weight this year, but still have at least 40 left to go). And I've lost 1.... haha! I have a 2 year old…
