What is your neck size?
List your weight, height and neck size, please :smile: Just curious. 165 5'6" 14" I wish I would have measured at the beginning of my weight loss program. I've started now and it has been motivating even though the scale isn't moving much.

Question for Medical Professionals
Prefacing this by saying it's not about me. If a doctor tells you to call back for results of a test (biopsy), does that mean it is more likely that the doctor doesn't think it is something serious, or is this just standard practice? Personal doctor preference? I guess I'd like to know that if a path report came back…

Divine Intervention kept me from the Sweedish Fish
It's rare when Sweedish Fish are in our vending machines at work, so I was psyched when I saw them. (I know. I know. Bad.) Ran up to another floor to get my money. Ran back down to the second floor. Machine wouldn't take my dollar bill. Go back to my office and grab some change and go back to the machine on the 2nd floor.…

Visceral Fat vs. Subcutaneous Fat
Anyone know if visceral (deep fat around organs) fat is more dense than subcutaneous (close to the skin) fat? I guess my question really is how/if these types of fat differ and in what manner.

My Heart Rate App
Anyone use this free app? It uses the camera on you iPhone or iPad to measure your heart rate. Wonder how accurate it is? Probably not very.

Friends or relatives moving? Help them move!
Helped my parents move a few days ago. Burned over 2,000 calories! I used to dread the times people asked me to help them to move. Now I will actually EMBRACE any requests to help anyone move! It really shook up my exercise routine and I felt fantastic at the end of that day - albeit, extremely tired!). So, go find someone…

What is considered "low" reps?
I see conflicting info here. Some say 4 or 5 is low - others say 10-12 is low. For example, which is better? Do 3 sets of 6 bicep curls with 15 lb weights or Do 3 sets of 10-12 with 8 lb weights I prefer the former, but now I'm beginning to question myself.

Freakin' Playtex Sport Tampons (Stay away men)
Arggggghhh. I am DONE with these things! Why do they have to put knots in the strings?? The freakin' knot gets caught in the applicator and pulls out the tampon when the applicator is withdrawn. Doesn't happen all of the time, but it shouldn't happen at all. Never had this problem with the regular ones. I wrote the company…

If your scale didn't move for a long time . . .
when did it start to move? I've lost a whopping 5 lbs since Oct. However, my body fat percentage has gone down from 39% to 33% and I have lost several inches. People keep asking me how much weight I have lost. I know, obviously, that is a good thing. Just curious if anyone else was/is in the same boat. I weight train twice…

What clothing/items are NEVER coming back to your closet?

Anyone Give Up Diet Coke?
I really like it, but it's not something I "need" and I'd like to kick the habit. I'm weaning off and finding myself very lethargic and irritable. I'm sure it's just the caffeine withdrawal. Anyway, would like to know if anyone else has done this and how they eventually felt - hopefully, for the better.

Are you a hugger?
I am not. Never have been, never will. Have a social event coming up this weekend where there will be some hugs. Ugggh. I'm just not a hugger. Is something wrong with me? :tongue: Anyone else anti-hug?

Daughters - Male Pediatricians
My daughter is almost nine. She has always had the same pediatrician - a male. Just wondering when/if we should transition to a female doctor anytime soon? I go to a female doctor who is a GP and was thinking of eventually taking my daughter to her. Any insight is appreciated! Thanks.

Real Housewives of . . . wherever
What do you think of the tight, clingy satiny dresses?? I mean. Come on. I don't live in Beverly Hills. Does EVERYONE there dress like that? Do they really think they are rockin' it? No. I am not jealous - not in the least :) I just thought that people with that much money would have more taste??

Afraid of missing a day at the gym - falling off the wagon?
Anyone else afraid of missing a day at the gym and then "falling off the wagon"? I know my body needs rest, but I worry about falling off the wagon. Hasn't happened, but it's in my mind!

My trainer killed me with this exercise today
Not sure if it has a name. (I could certainly give it a lot of names that I couldn't post here!) Was in a modified push-up position with knees slightly bent. Instead of hands flat on the floor, I had them on 5 lb dumbells. After going down in the push-up movement, she had me come up with the dumbell doing a row.…

Did Something Disgusting at the Gym :(
Ugggh. I thought I'd squeeze a treadmill workout in this afternoon. Got on the treadmill and got a good workout in. I should have realized that the water wasn't mine when I took the first sip and realized how warm it was. No, I continued on with my workout. I went to grab my keys and jackets and there was MY water bottle.…

Did you stick through Lent?
I gave up baked goods, fast food and candy for Lent. I'm pleased to be able to stay that I didn't give in at all. Now that Lent is over, who is sticking to their good habits? I certainly am going to try my hardest. I made my annual butter cut-out cookies with buttercream frosting and this is the first year I have no desire…

Why do I get such satisfaction from . . .
throwing my sweaty workout clothes in the wash?? :) It's such a good feeling knowing that I had a really good workout! Also, nothing better than a new body scrub in the shower after a good workout! I love the Body Shop's grapefruit one. Heavenly!

C25K - Transitioning from Treadmill to Outdoors
Has anyone started the C25K program on a treadmill and then ended up outdoors somewhere along the way? The weather is getting nicer and I'm thinking of getting back outside. I'm starting week two. I'm just afraid of the transition to pavement :( What was your experience like? TIA!
