Do Richard Simmons videos count as...
...aerobics, general or aerobics, high impact? I know it's only a difference of a few calories, but still... I certainly wouldn't count them as low impact as they're much more energetic than any of my Walk Away the Pounds videos, and according to the threads on here, those count as low impact. Thanks muchly. :smile: I did…

Belly Blasting Walk dvd
I made it through the first mile and then my knee decided it had enough. I'm hoping this one will be like the 3 mile super fat burning walk - I'll be able to do the whole thing eventually, especially once I loose more weight. I had started the day as usual with the 1 mile Get Up & Get Started walk and walked w/basic moves…

5 Day Slim Down video
Just did the WATP 5 Day Slim Down video - warm up twice, all 5 walks, plus cool down = 88 minutes (according to collagevideo.com.) Loved it! This is exactly the change of pace/new video that I needed. Nothing too hard, but a really good workout. Rented it from Netlix & plan on buying. I'd started out the warm up with my…

"gay lifestyle" & "choice" - things that piss me off

We picked up a bunch of stuff to donate to a homeless shelter for LGBTQ youth this fall/winter including a really…

My motivation for today
My size 20 Lands End jeans are baggy in the butt, almost uncomfortably so. I've been having a really bad week (past 7 days+) and putting these on just now to go run an errand today...It may sound silly, but it boosted my spirits. :smile:

My new favorite fruit - Santa Claus melon
Picked one up at Whole Foods for $5 and it's so good! The outside looks like a football shaped watermelon while the inside resembles muskmelon, only more white than green. It tastes like a mild cantaloupe only much sweeter and tastier. It's also really juicy. A 1 cup serving has: Calories: 61, Fat: 0, Cholesterol: 0,…

New, SAHM, 40+, doing Walk Away the Pounds
:drinker: I'm new to this site (a friend who's lost 25+ pounds on it told me about it,) but not new to dieting. So many years of yo-yo'ing back & forth, doing it on my own, doing WW (lost then gained &...that's a post for another day.) I'm a vegetarian mostly because it's easier to stay low-sodium & fat with it. (Yes, I…
