Country or City?
Where do you prefer? I'm outside of DC right now and I'm not liking it much. I miss my country home in Illinois. No one around here understands why I like it so much because there "can't be anything to do out there". I guess I just grew up learning to go out and entertain myself...(Ahem, corn-field-truck-pull-sledding…

What do you notice?
About the opposite sex that they probably don't realize about themselves. I notice that when a guy talks to a guy buddy on the phone they call each other "man" a lot more the usual. :huh:

Arg....
So a while back I posted a topic about how I've been in a stand off with this friggin scale for the past few months. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/366029-wish-i-didn-t-have-to-ask (Here's my original post from a month ago) Basically, I was eating between 1200 - 1400 cals a day and burning about 600 - 800 cals a…

Bit of a situation
Before I get into it just know this. I work in an office of cubicles surrounded by a bunch of IT guys. I'm the only girl in this section of the room and I'm by far the youngest. I don't get offended by "guy talk" and I get along great with almost everyone. So there's this guy at work, he's that guy who nobody can really…

Where is the line?
Lately, it seems that if you're not full of yourself, you're naive. A lot of the time, I have to admit, when I hear people say "This person is staring at me. It's so annoying." My first thought is, "Uh, get off your high horse. They're probably not even looking at you." But I do know that, in some cases, the staring really…

The ultimate PUSH IT song!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bpge5RgIS2I Man, if I could listen to this through my whole workout I totally would. It's a bit of a get-em-girl song but how could you not turn the up intensity with this song blaring in your ears? Love this song for when I run! Bring it On by Kaci Battaglia Heart beat pounding like a…

Bitter/Sweet
Okay this is going to be a bit of toughy... So when I first started this journey, it was about 3 years ago and my best friend and I decided to start doing Turbo Jam videos together. We were talking about what physical attributes we really couldn't wait for when we got more fit. One thing she was really excited about was…

Hook ups
If you could choose one character from a TV show to hook up with, who would it be? For me, it would totally be Jim Halpret from The Office. He is everything I've ever wanted in a man. And the way his hair flips out just a little by his ears... *sigh* :love:

Breathing
In my usual routine at the gym, my work out starts with walking at a brisk pace, followed by running 1.5 - 2 miles. I would like to start running longer but lately my ashma has really been holding me back from running much longer than 15 - 20 minutes. I am on medication for it and, until recently, I have not had any sort…

Women weight lifting?
So I was wanting to start incorporating more weight lifting into my workout routine but I'm not sure how to start. I've been doing basic shoulder press and bicep and tricep curls for a while but...okay I'll be honest, I'm VERY intimidated to go very far into the weight machine area. 1. I'm nervous because I'm not sure what…
-
Ummm...thanks?
So today at work an older man I work with came up to my desk and chatted with me like he often does. He is known for saying WHATEVER pops into his head so I kind of always have my guard up with him. Well today he leans in to me like he's going to tell me a secret but quite loudly tells me "You're pants are baggy!! You…

High Heart Rate
So I just used my new HRM for the first time today. I did the same work out I usually do on Mondays and until now I have just been entering it in with what MFP has in the data base. I was expecting my calorie burn to be less then I usually track since the HRM would give me a more accurate count but I actually got a higher…

HRM Help!
So I'm looking into getting an HRM soon. I actually got one but I can't figure out how to set it up for the life of me. I consider myself a pretty tech-savvy person, but these instructions are impossible!!! So I'm going to take this one back and research some more on finding a better one. My question is though...how do I…

Paranormal Activity 3
How scary was it? I haven't seen the other 2 but the hubs really wants to see it tonight...I don't know if I'm brave enough. What did you think of it? Thoughts?

Relationship advice
I need some opinions... I don't really know what to do anymore. Lately, since I really started having success with my weight loss, my husband does not seem interested in me... We've been married for about 2 1/2 years and the first 8 months were spent apart (he's in the Military). As I have been losing weight, I'm starting…

Comedy Thursday
I don't know about you, but I look forward to Thursdays almost as much as I look forward to Fridays in the fall. I LOVE comedy Thursday on NBC! I've always been a huge fan of The Office (I miss Michael!) and Parks and Recreation is right up there too. There's shows I like on other channel too of course but those are my…

Wish I didn't have to ask...
It's been about 2 months since I lost any weight. I usually eat between 1200 and 1350 calories and I work out 5 - 6 days a week. I do mostly cardio but I do incorporate a little bit of weight training every other day. Over the last couple of weeks I've started including circuit training (30DS) and sprints every other day…

HIIT workouts
So I've started incorporating HIIT workouts into my routine every other day and I've found it's really helping my endurance! Right now I'm doing sprints on the treadmill and I have a couple of DVDs but I was wanting to try some other workouts for my HIITs too. What do you guys do?

What are you looking forward to?
What physical attribute are you looking forward to when you get to your goal body? For me, I LOVE collar bones on women. I think they are so ellegant and lovely looking. :blushing: Weird I know. I'm quite happy because mine is totally visible now! There are a few others but that's probably one of my faves! Makes me feel…

Sprints
So I just did some sprints on the treadmill but I have no idea how to log that in MFP. I was not able wear an HRM, just entered my weight in the treadmill but I don't really trust it. Anyone know what to do for this?
-
Yoga?
I feel like I've learned a lot about different kinds of exercise since I began this lifestyle change but one thing I don't really understand is yoga. What are the benefits of it? I know it improves flexibility, but again, why does that matter? They are starting some yoga classes at my gym and I kind of want to try it out…

Ridiculously Cute
So, Gus and I have started a tradition that for my post workout snack we share an apple. I found these GIGANTIC apples at the store a while back so I slice them up and my Gussy-boy and I split one every morning. Well today I thought about changing it up and having a different snack but how can I possibly consider that when…

Anti-Support?
So I have been over weight for quite a few years and come from a family of larger people. In the last couple of years however, I've lost about 50 lbs and am still going. I have about 30 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight be in a "healthy" weight ratio for my height. But I'm finally starting to feel good about myself and…
