Long Hiatus and Bill
Well, after seeing the trailer for next season I am not as bothered to wait for so long. Unfortunately, there is a subconscious hope that, if I am patient enough, they will decide against bringing in the Bill character. (not rational, I realize) Maybe she won't be as annoying in actual episodes... (hopefully)

Final Day 1
Things were going fine in late 2014, then something happened and I just stopped. Well, I am back! Sure, heavier than when I started, but if I let that stop me (again) I won't ever get better. 410 isn't the end of the world unless I let it be.

Cold!
So, when I see Facebook posts from relatives in Illinois and friends in Minnesota, I feel like we have it great down here as far as winter weather goes. Then I go outside for a walk... Yikes! How is everyone getting some movement into their day when being outside isn't as pretty as it looks through the window? (I am SOOO…

Any special plans for tomorrow night?
I am so excited! I can't wait to see Capaldi in action. Anyone doing anything special? Getting a party together? Cooking something Who-themed? Wearing a fez?

Just ordered
Hey, All! I just ordered DDPYoga yesterday after thinking it over for about a week. I am excited to get started, but haven't received my DVDs yet. I am planning to take my 6 pics on Day 1, the day I start the program. I am very nervous. I hate having my picture taken because I look so fat and ugly. I know the worse the…

Walk to Rivendell
So, no chance of me making it to the end before the movie comes out, but I am having fun tying my cardio to something I love. (No chance of that not being geeky.) Here is the website, if you are interested. http://home.insightbb.com/~eowynchallenge/Tools/Bag_end/bag_end.html I am still in the Shire, but it is getting small…

Silly little tricks?
What silly (or not so silly) little tricks do you use to get yourself motivated and going during the day? Do you park at the back of the lot? Add a little something special to your coffee? (I mean like vanilla, not booze!) I like to go swimming in the early morning, before the hubby goes to work. Even if the rest of the…

Geek shows you DON'T like
So, we have threads all over the group about shows we like. What are some of the geeky (fantasy, sci fi) shows you DON'T? I am not trying to start a fight. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Really, I just want to see if I am the only person in the group who cannot stand Alphas. (Could they have made up a team of more…

Weightlifting beginner advice
So, I am just getting started, flabby, weak and WAY out of shape. I have some 8 pound dumbells. What do I do with them? I know what a curl and a press look like, but how many should I do daily? How often? How long should I rest between sets? I feel like there are other questions I should ask, but don't even know that I…

HOBBIT Challenge - 397 miles by Dec 14

Where to find a reliable scale?
I need a way to weigh myself more often (once every 6 mos isn't going to cut it.) I have tried Walmart and actually found a scale that could handle up to 400 pounds, but it did not seem reliable to me. I would stand on it, get a reading; then step off and back on again and get a totally different reading 3 seconds later. I…

Tea in oatmeal? Opinions?
So, I heard green tea was a good add to the healthy lifestyle. I bought regular and +pomegranate varieties. I like the regular just fine but the +pomegranate flavor has an undertone that reminds me of bubblegum and I find this too unsettling to drink. SO, I am sitting here with a whole box of green tea bags I am not going…

New Motivation - Air travel
My husband has been transferred to a new team within the company where he works. The goal for them is to design and create a Brazilian branch of the company, then to train the local hires in what to do and how to do it. He is very excited, his boss is excited, the whole company is excited. He may have to travel to Brazil…

Eat before or after workout?
So, it happens that my schedule sees the best times to work out very close to meal times. Is it better to eat before or after working out?

Just getting started in MS
Well, "just getting started" isn't entirely accurate. Let's just say "just getting started FOR REAL." My name is Kim and I live in north Mississippi. I decided this weekend that I had had enough and am ready to take drastic measures. (Not surgery or lipo, I mean drastic for ME, like working out) How are you all coping with…

Hey, Y'all! from Mississippi
I have puttered around with loosing weight but always gave up easily. Now, I am almost 40 and after 30 years of being fat I am ready for a change. I have used this website off and on for about 2 years, but never really came into the forums, and would stop coming by at all for sometimes months at a time. Not any more! I CAN…

Incentive Ideas?
I read on a weight loss advice blog post that setting an incentive (beach trip, amusement park, scuba trip, etc) can be a big help to motivation. There is one thing I want to do when I am no longer overweight, but it is a pretty big one ( hang gliding) and would like to set smaller incentive rewards for "along-the-way"…
