CREEPY CO-WORKER STORIES!!
LETS SHARE STORIES!!! There's this old guy who works in the mail room at my company. He mainly does stuff like deliveries, filing paper, etc. He is really scary looking, too. When he moves around he reminds me of the guy that jumps out and attacks you in the game Paperboy. Every day at the EXACT SAME TIME (8:50am), he…

Has anyone had a septoplasty and/or rhinoplasty?
Hi everyone, I just consulted with an ENT due to constant sinus infections and breathing obstructions in my nose for the duration of my life. He told me my septum was extremely deviated (shaped like an S!) which caused my obstruction, and I have extremely swollen turbinates AS WELL AS needing my tonsils out since they are…

Can someone please suggest a good cardio DVD?
Hi everyone, Running has been taking a toll on my feet, and I was wondering if someone can suggest a good DVD that will allow me to get a cardio level comparable to jogging or the elliptical. I have been doing the 30DS but that is more for strength. Does Jillian Michaels have a good cardio DVD, or can you recommend…

We are both happy, but I STILL want to ruin your life!!
So this topic was recently on one of the radio shows I listen to in the AM in Chicago...apparently, a girl was angry when she saw that one of her ex boyfriends was happy, married and having a baby. She apparently was happy and married with someone else, but it still ticked her off. That got me thinking.... I dated this guy…

Good entry-level HRM that tracks calories.
Hi everyone- I've never used a heart rate monitor and I've been told not to trust my treadmill anymore. I am a bigger girl, so I typically give myself 150 calories per mile ran. Can anyone recommend a good HRM, preferably a CHEAP ONE that will log my heart rate consistently (WITH A WIRELESS STRAP) and will tell me how many…

Adderall....
Has anyone else who is trying to/has lost weight been put on Adderall lately? I've had ADD since I was about 5 years old but my parents are of the sort that think it is a made up disease...I went to the doctor a few months ago and he thought it would help me out. It has done wonders, but I am wondering if it has any effect…

Cheap and accurate HRM- advice?
I am looking to get a HRM for my workouts. Can anyone recommend a cheap but effective one I should check out? I am a broke kid with lots of student loan debt so I don't need anything too fancy, but preferably one that will log calories burned as well (if that's an option). Thanks!

Picky Eater trying to eat healthier..help!
So I am an EXTREMELY picky eater. It's not that I dislike a lot of foods, its just the ones that I primarily dislike are found very commonly in healthy foods. The one thing that throws me off most is ONIONS. That is the one thing I can't eat in any capacity whatsoever. The smell of them makes me nauseous, and even when…

Well...I graduated last year...BUT...
Hi everyone, So, I'm a farce. I am not a college kid nor a grad student, but I am 22 and I only graduated this past year, so that still counts, right? Anyways, I had a really interesting experience with my weight- positive and negative- during my college years. So I figured my advice will be useful in this group because I…

Doing a "blended" 30 Day Shred
Hi everyone, I just started doing the 30 Day Shred yesterday. I know it advises that you do it EVERY DAY for 30 days, but realistically I am unsure if I am going to be able to do that as I have a few weekend getaways planned (camping!) where I will not have access to a TV. I am trying to lose weight and inches, so I…

Balancing fitness and my BF...
Hi everyone! I was wondering how people have been able to balance time between their relationship and their workouts/fitness plans. I love my boyfriend to death, but he is an extremely unhealthy eater and does not go to the gym. Even when he does work out, it is usually playing team sports or lifting, whereas I am almost…

Any 6'0 or taller ladies out there? Goal weight?
Hi everyone! Are there any other ladies who are 6 feet tall (5'11 works too! LOL) or taller and trying to lose weight, or successfully lost weight? I am curious to hear more about your weight loss goals and stories. I am 6 feet tall and about 210 lbs. I am definitely 'curvy' and have a larger-than-average chest and large…
