Tall ladies out there? 5'10" and up?
Hey everyone! I am 5'11" and my CW is 220. I am hoping to get down to 150. Anyone else out there in this same height range? I love reading the success stories and all, but most of the pictures are from ladies that are much shorter than me. It would be nice to have some friends that have a similar build as I do :) Anyone??

Weekends
I know that this is not a new thing that has been asked in the forums, but I was hoping for some fresh thoughts/advice. I am TERRIBLE on weekends. The gym isn't open (I take advantage of our university gym because of the free membership- unfortunately, that means I need to put up with their lame summer hours) and I am bad…

Running shoes for my foot type
I'm so confused... trying to find some good running shoes. But I have high arches, and I "overpronate" when I run (my foot and ankle roll in instead of out). According to what I'm reading, high arched people usually underpronate, meaning their feel roll outwards. I know that this is not the case with me... for years, I…

MiO liquid water enhancer!
Has anyone tried this? I saw a commercial for it and then I saw it at the store the next day, so I decided to try it. I like crystal light for a few different reasons. First of all, its no or low calorie, and second of all, it adds some flavor when I'm getting bored with water. However, I remember CL being about $2 for a…

Uneven ribs
On my lower left side, my rib cage sticks out significantly further than on my right side. I've been reading up online and I guess this is pretty common, but in most people, it doesnt really cause them any discomfort. It does for me... I can feel it when I lay on my left side and I can even feel it sometimes if I'm laying…

GUYS- Anyone done the 30 Day Shred?
I just purchased Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and I am planning on starting it March 1st. Have any of you men out there tried it? I have heard a lot of good things about it, but mostly from women. I live with two guys and I was wondering if they would enjoy working out to this dvd with me. What do you think?

Fibromyalgia?
Does anyone out there have fibromyalgia? I do not have it but my mom does. I want her to join this site because I know she wants to lose weight but I want to find some other people on here with fibro so that she doesn't feel alone. She's quite overweight and has a lot of problems with muscle/joint pain and fatigue. There…

Row machine
I need some advice on using a row machine. I love using them, they are a GREAT workout, but after just a few minutes on one, my hands start to hurt from the twisting and and friction from the handle. I used to use a row machine all the time and my hands never got used to it. I would get calluses from it once in a while but…

Do you hate light dressing as much as I do?
I can't STAND light salad dressing! It's the one diet food that I just can't get into. I have tried all different kinds of brands, too. See, I like my creamy salad dressings- ranch, blue cheese, creamy ceasar- even though I know they're full of no-no's. I've tried for so long to find a light dressing that I like, and no…

Sugar
Ok, so I don't normally eat a lot of sugar. My downfall is salty foods, so I have my sodium intake set at 2000 (might lower it more still, but this seems like a good starting point). However, I have started making smoothies pretty often to help keep me full, and fruit has a lot of sugar in it (especially bananas and…

What you REALLY want...
Ok, the #1 reason I want to get in shape is to be healthy, happy, and energized. BUT I do have a secret... I want to shed the 70lbs for a pretty specific reason... I want to be Jessica Rabbit. For Halloween '11. It may sound silly. But I have the perfect dress for it... my senior prom dress was a red strapless number. Of…

VERY encouraging...
I just joined today so my little froggy on my ticker hasn't moved at all, but while reading through other posts and everything, it's SO nice to see so many tickers with anywhere from "1 LBS lost" to "100+ LBS lost" because it makes me feel like this really is a good community for motivation and staying on track. I am…
