Bigger, cheaper bras
So a few years ago (have I been on here for years?!), I posted a bra size calculator for us large-busted ladies. Many were shocked, some excited, some dubious. But it worked well for a lot of people. So to pander to that community again I just want to point out a website that I've used a few times now and I couldn't be…

Favorite Visor
What's your favorite (most comfortable) sun visor? I'll use it jogging in the summer, but honestly, my office lights are getting to my eyes so I want something that will be comfortable to wear for 8-10 hours a day. Brands are fine, links are nice too. Thanks all!

You've eaten Konjac, but have you *seen* Konjac?!
I thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing an Amorphophallus konjac. I mean, sure, you've eaten them--shirataki noodles, fiber supplements, Glucomannan--but have you ever seen them grow?! Here is a picture of my (probably) 3 year old A. konjac from last year. It has two phases, a leaf phase (shown here) and a floral…

More steps/better sleep
It makes sense, but has anyone else noticed that their sleep pattern data improves with more steps? I get it, but looking at the data really drives the point home.

"walking tour" by map
Does anyone else do this? My cousin gave me the idea to create a virtual walking tour by google map. By the end of this year my goal is to walk/jog from my home in central Virginia to Key West, FL along the coast and hitting as many State/National Parks as possible. If I average 4.3 miles a day, I can make it! Every few…

FT7 Replacement watch band?
Hey all, Just wondering if anyone has tried to replace a watch band on a Polar FT7. I can't seem to find a replacement shopping online--do I call Polar direct? My pet rabbit knocked the watch off my desk and chewed the rubber watch band. Technically still usable, but uncomfortable with all the little pointy edges. *BTW the…

Lifting heavy with a bad wrist? How to start.
All you Strong woman are completely hot. I have no fear of bulk. I've always loved the toned look. But every time I start a program lately, my right wrist starts to get a really big cyst in it (they call um "Bible Bumps" cause people used to whack them with a large book). I've heard mixed reviews about getting them drained…

David Gray...favorite songs?
Hey, are there any other David Gray fans on here? What's your favorite song? It's really hard for me to choose one. Were I forced to choose I'd have to say "The One I Love" off "Life in Slow Motion."

Dog training
So, my husband and I will be getting a dog in the next year or so and I can't figure out why this wouldn't work: Couldn't you just train your dog--when it's ready to poo--to do it INTO to bag? Like setting the bag on the ground so they can poo into it when they're good to go...I've found ONE person online who does it, so I…

Weeks 3 & 4?
Hey all! I think we all didn't check in with each other for weeks 3 & 4! LOL. Ah well...well I'm part of another group now as well that measures and weighs diligently on Mondays, so I've dug out my measuring tape and my dignity. I've only lost 3 lbs (yes I know it's not a gain but...I haven't been working as hard as I…

2012 Fight for Air Climb--Chicago, IL
Is anyone else interested in the 2012 Fight for Air Climb in Chicago, IL? It's at the Presidential Towers. I want to do it, but I am going to start training today. Does anyone have interest in a team or just training together? I live in a 55 story highrise in the Loop, so having a staircase/gym is not a problem. It would…

Do your relatives try to undermine you?
One of the reasons I want to be a healthy weight is that obesity is a problem in my family. Currently, all of the women in my immediate family are morbidly obese (I'm only "overweight" right now, but I was "obese" for a couple years). The women in my mom's family have some serious weight problems too. Genetics and poor…

Great cardio calculator link
Hey All! Just wanted to share this link for calculating Cardio on stuff you wouldn't think of, like various house cleaning activities and such. First time I used it was when I carried 30lbs of groceries home and figured that had to have counted for a little more than just plan old walking. :)…

Heck yeah--NSV waist-to-hip ratio!

I was an Avocado and now I am a Pear (waist-to-hip otherwise almost hourglass measurements...pro'lly why the retro 40s and 50s clothes…

Ladies--Keys?
Hey all you ladies out there! None of my workout clothes have decent pockets, but when I go jogging I clearly need to have my keys with me...so do you have a decent key solution? I don't really want to have to take it off the ring to safety pin it to the inside of my waist band and I really don't want to buy new clothes…
