Who buys holiday gifts for their pets?
<---- I do, I do!! In fact, I believe the dog has more wrapped gifts under the tree than anyone else! Maxine will be getting some gourmet doggie treats, a stuffed reindeer, a treat puzzle, and some chew toys. She loves opening presents on Christmas morning! What are you getting for your furry friends this year?

Mid-Life Crisis NSV's
Three years and 145 pounds ago, I barely wanted to leave the house. But I've found a whole new me! First, I bought a dress. Now you have to understand, I NEVER wear dresses and I still haven't worn this one out of the house. But now I can say I own a dress and I bought it simply because it looked damn good! Then, I decided…

Endless Pool / Total Immersion Swimmer - New to the Group!
Hi everyone - I'm glad to have found this group!! Does anyone else here swim in an Endless Pool? Or swim using the "Total Immersion" style? I'm thinking of doing a triathlon in the future (if I can get the running part down). Just looking for new friends and ideas... I'm not sure how far or how fast I swim, but I usually…

Anyone use Yowza Captiva Elliptical or Sole F85 Treadmill?
My current treadmill is over 10 years old and on it's last legs. Hubby wants another treadmill, but I'd prefer an elliptical (or both). I've settled on either the Sole F85 if we get a treadmill or the Yowza Captiva if we get an elliptical. Anyone have experience with either of these? What are your opinions? Especially…

Critique my Diary!!
Looking for some suggestions to kick start my weight loss again and get these next 20 pounds off!! Some background: For the past year, I've been averaging about 3 pounds lost per month. Recently, that has dropped to .8 - 1.7 pounds lost per month. About 6 weeks ago, I changed my goal from 2 pounds per week to 1 pound per…

EEK - 142 lbs down! I can't believe I'm showing anyone these
So I finally got the guts today to dig out some old "before" photos and compare them to recent pictures. I guess now I can understand when people who haven't seen me in a while say that they didn't recognize me! I hope I did this right and the pics show up. Here's the before. This was taken in April 2009, about six weeks…

You know you're addicted to MFP when....
I took my dog to the vet a little while ago for her regular checkup and shots, and it turns out she needs to lose some weight. She is a german shepherd / husky mix and currently weighs in at about 88 lbs. She doesn't "look" fat, but the vet says she needs to lose about 10-20 lbs. She gets tons of exercise - we walk about 4…

Curse you Jillian Michaels!
I've been doing the 30-day Shred for about 20 days now and I've loved Level 1 and 2. I lost about 8 lbs, and I dropped down to a comfortable size 14 (haven't seen that in over 17 years!). But I tried Level 3 yesterday and I'm having trouble with it. I broke my arm a few months ago, and had surgery to put everything back…

Happy Birthday to me!
What a great group of employees and co-workers I have! To celebrate my birthday tomorrow, they gave me a gift card to my favorite home improvement store (so I can finish up some home projects I've been working on). Even better, they brought in healthy snacks and goodies instead of the usual cake, donuts, etc. It is…

Long-time Lurker's NSV's
I promised myself that I would only post here when I had something BIG that I had to share. Well, I've had three NSVs in the past two days that I'm proud of. First, at my Saturday morning weekly weigh in, I finally hit 199.6! That's the first time in 17+ years that I've seen a number starting with "1"! Then today, at the…
