HRM Problem...For women...
My chest strap is irritating the crud out of me...Literally! I first started wearing my chest strap completely underneath my sports bra, and it was fine for a while, but then the transmitter part started rubbing on the bottom of my *ahem* breasts. So then I tried wearing the chest strap underneath my sports bra, but…

I Just Realized...
I have not been drinking as much water as I need to be...Probably not even 64 oz a day! After my 100th trip to the bathroom, I was thinking 'Man, I sure have had a LOT of water today'...But then I really thought about it and added it up...I've only had 3, well, now 3.5, bottles of water today...And I'm thinking that's a…

Sick from depression?
Is it possible to be depressed and then start to feel physically ill from being sad? If so, I think I have it...The sad sickness.

I'm Sending This To DH.
The Hormone Hostage knows that there are days in the month when all a man has to do is open his mouth to a woman and he takes his very life into his own hands. This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver's license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, or significant other. DANGEROUS: What's for dinner?…

My Job Is Draining...
I have to vent somewhere because my poor husband hears it every day and I'm sure he is SO sick of it....But, we moved to OK from TX back in May, and while I graduated with a teaching degree, I have yet to become certified to teach in OK. So I'm working as a customer service representative in an office with a total of 3…

Back to the Boards...
Hello All! I used to use MFP and post daily about a year ago...I stopped counting calories and trying to lose weight once I found out I was pregnant with baby number 2 last January-Such a great reason to stop focusing on weight loss!!! :happy: Now my new baby girl is a month old (as of Sunday) and I am 6 pounds away from…

Where is it??
Where's the "Would You Rather" for today? C'mon Max! Get going!

So Nervous!!!
I'm about to talk to my boss and put in my 2-weeks notice...I'm so nervous! I just don't want to dissapoint anyone, ya know? I don't know why I get so caught up in these kinds of things. I'm sure he'll be kind of glad to see me go! LoL...I haven't been the model-employee.... Wish me luck!

Terrible Pain...
So I was just sitting here at work when all of the sudden I felt this stabbing pain in my stomach-Right above my bellybutton. Almost like it's gas, but it hurts so bad to press on my stomach...Then I was talking to my husband on the phone and we got to laughing about something and it hurt so bad I could hardly breathe.…

A silly question...
I went just a tiny bit overboard at the office Thanksgiving luncheon today...I wasn't miserabley stuffed, but I know I had a bit too many calories. So now I'm drinking tons of water trying to flush some calories/speed metabolism. Will drinking tons of water help? Or am I just dreaming? I think I'm dreaming...If all you had…
-
Oh My Goodness...
My office's Thanksgiving Luncheon is tomorrow! I'm kind of nervous...I don't want to overload on the food and calories tomorrow...I think I'll be okay because I'm fairly new here and don't really feel comfortable going all out on the food in front of all these people I don't know, so I think that will keep me in check. Now…

Oh My Thighs!!!
I went jean shopping during my lunch break, and I was resigned to the fact that I would be buying a pair of size 12 jeans. While I would love to wait so I could buy a smaller pair, I need new jeans! So I grabbed a couple of pairs of dark wash jeans (for the slimming effect, ya know?) and headed into the dressing room...the…

Still So Hungry!
I woke up this morning SO HUNGRY...And of course I was running late for work so I grabbed breakfast to-go, which was 10 Honey Wheat Pretzel Twists (110 calories), a large apple (100 calories), Yogurt (110 calories), and FF/SF Hot Chocolate Mix (25 calories). Well, I ate ALL of that, and I was still hungry! So I hate my mo…

What the Biggest Losers Eat...
Found this on the MSN Health and Fitness website...Interesting! The Biggest Loser Diet meal plan calls for three-meals and two-snacks per day. It breaks down to 45% complex carbohydrates, 30% lean protein, and 25% fats. Here's what one sample day might look like on the Biggest Loser Diet meal plan: BREAKFAST 1 cup berries…

Pleasant Surprise
I ran in the Route 66 Quarter Marathon yesterday morning, and my girlfriend texted me today and told me that I got 3rd in my age group and that I am listed under the "awards section"!! An award (no clue what it is!!) is going to be delivered to my home...I'm so pumped! I had no idea I did that well! Yay! :happy:
-
Home Made...
What are some tasty little goodies that I can make and package as gifts?? We have such a big family, there's no way we're buying something for everyone. So we were thinking of doing some baked goods and giving them as holiday gifts. But I want something a bit more special than just some cookies thrown in a bag-Any ideas??

Good, but Eye-Opening Morning...Vent
Well, it actually all started last night... My husband walked into the kitchen and asked me if his jeans looked too tight-And yes, they did look painted on. I gave him a little smile and just nodded, and the smile on HIS face spread from ear to ear. It was then that I realized...He's wearing MY pants!!!!! :noway: I ended…

A good workout?
What do you consider a good workout? I went to the gym during lunch today and burned 300 calories (says my trusty HRM!) on the elliptical machine. But, I still feel like I didn't do much. I'm not totally satisfied with my workout. :angry:

Losing It With Jillian Michaels-Soda Quota
Soda Quota Regular soda is definitely out because it a major calorie overload — but guess what, I don't want you drinking diet soda either! I'm a former diet soda addict myself, and believe me, it almost killed me to get off that junk. After I stopped drinking it every day, though, I could definitely feel the difference…

Starbucks!!
For some reason my husband has been on a HUGE Starbucks kick, and I'm in the mood for some HOT drinks on this cold day, so we might hit Starbucks this evening. I don't usually go, so I have no clue what to get. What are some of your favorite, low-cal drinks from Starbucks?? :drinker: That's coffee in there...Promise!

Back on Track!
After a slight melt down, I am finally back on the road to weight loss! I woke up this morning and the scales had actually moved in the right direction!! Now if only I can control myself this weekend...Who came up with giving out candy for Halloween anyway? Geez!

Is This Bad?
I was reading another post and AreWeThereYet mentioned that her HRM monitor picked up someone else's and it was in the 180's and she thought she was going to have a heart attack!! (Scary, but funny story!) But that got me wondering...At what point should I be worried about my HR? I'm 23, 5'7, 160ish pounds, and my HRM…

Tulsa Run!
I participated in the Tulsa Run this morning in the 5K division. I finished in 26 minutes and 24 seconds and felt so good while I was running! I think my time is pretty good considering this week is the first time I've ran in a month and a half! I've been doing spinning classes and the elliptical, but no actual running…

Anyone Around Here??
Amazingly enough, I was reading the posts and found a someone who lives in Tulsa, OK, and works at the gym that I go to! What a small world! I was just wondering if anyone else is located around the Tulsa area...I'm always looking to meet new people! And Ashley, I'll be seeing you at the gym this afternoon!

Rewards...
Do any of you use a "reward" system?? What are some of your goals, and how are you going to reward yourself once you reach those goals?

Huh-Big Feet, Little Head.
I ordered some new shoes online-Livestrong Nike Shox-And they finally came in today. They're really cute and all, but they look so freakin' huge! Like skis!! I have a size 9 foot-Eek! But normally I don't look at my shoes and say, "Wow! Those are some big 'uns!" For some reason these look incredibly long to me. Maybe it…

Pumpkin Carving!!
My husband, daughter, and I are going to a pumpkin carving party tomorrow night...I need some good ideas for my pumpkin! My husband has a template of a deer (big hunter, so it's perfect), we got my daughter an Elmo template (she's going to be Elmo for Halloween-She's obsessed!), and all I could come up with is Britney…
