What's on your iPod? Need new songs for workouts.
So I spent hours on iTunes today searching for new songs to add to my workout playlist. If you listen to music when you workout what songs are on your iPod that get you going, inspire your, or give you that extra umph when your workout gets you struggling. If we all share one or two we will have a great list to pull from…

My daughter can't swim because I'm fat!
One of my major motivators to lose weight is to teach my daughter to swim. I don't have a pool at home so I go to a public one in my neighborhood. The past few summers I have felt so icky about my body in a bathing suit that I wouldn't put one on and go swimming with my kids. Because of this, my 3 year old can't swim and…

Tall Woman
Ok, so this is just my rant. I am a tall woman. I am 5'11". I am so tired of people saying that the fact I weigh 200+ lbs is because I am tall. I am not in denial...NO IT ISN'T...

Searching for a good HRM
Hi all, I am searching for a good Heart Rate Monitor that will calculate calories and is easy to use. I am looking for something around $100, but if I need to wait and save, I guess I can. :smile: Please let me know what you have liked and disliked about HRM's you have used so I can make a good decision.
