For us K-drama fans!
Marney: I think that right now both Pam and I would recommend Oh, My Venus! It is about overweight. Training. Romance. A little mystery. And the two leads have wonderful chemistry. It is 16 episodes (I forget). Here is the page on drama fever and there is a cute trailer. http://www.dramafever.com/drama/4766/Oh_My_Venus/ A…

Links to Articles, Blogs, and Studies!
If you read an interesting article, blog or study share the link here in our library. We can use a wide variety of topics on weight loss, maintenance, fitness, health, getting older, etc. I'll start with a few I have bookmarked:

250 Steps an Hour Challenge
I have set a 10-hour challenge for myself. I think 10 hours makes a nice, round 2500 steps. I set mine between 7 a.m and 5 p.m. as I work 7:30 to 4:30. Set your 10 consecutive hours for whatever times you want. Set an alarm if you have to. Walk in place if you want! Track them and see how many times you do it in a 10-hour…

Water Weight Gain

That is probably true and it is probably just a random happening from too much salt, hormones, or even insufficient water intake. It should be mentioned though that chronic water retention or…

Rewards?
Although I want to lose a total of 100 pounds, I thought I would break it down into 15 lb. goals and give myself a reward as I reach each one. I thought a massage might be nice when I hit the first 15 lb. loss. If you are planning a reward, or have given yourself rewards, what were they?
