random question
Does anyone know where to rent casino game tables for a party? I tried rent-a-center and that was a bust. I really want to do a special party for bf birthday. Can't find these tables to rent though. I know it is possible.

ipod question
my ipod doesn't hold a battery charge so its dead to me ... I want to downgrade and get a shuffle cause I really don't need much .. I just want music when I workout. Anyways, does anyone know if I can use the same itunes on my computer? Will those songs automatically go on the shuffle or do I get to choose what songs since…

Starting this up again...
I restarted Myfitnesspal again after a long hiatus. Of all things that I'm proud of from the last 5 days it is that I haven't had any sweets. I even turned down a brownie that was offered to me today. Trust me - huge achievement. Does anyone else feel like a drug addict though? I'm so conscience of this that it consumes…

3 weeks - what am I doing wrong?
For the last 3 weeks, I have been working out 5 days a week. I burn between 550 to 600 calories per workout. I weight train either 1 or 2 times in the week. As for eating, I'm 50/50 on good and bad days. My BMR is 2050. My allotted calories is 1550. With a workout I'm usually allowed to eat 2100 calories or so. On my bad…

Running and shins
When I do my walking/running intervals, the only thing that is preventing me from pushing and doing better is my shins. I get an extreme pain in my shins and i find this weird. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to stretch out the shins? Is there even a muscle there? Is it a more serious problem I should…

Running tracker
I've been working on bringing down the time of my mile runs and I'm somewhat successful. I was just wondering - is there an online tracker for running? I'm more concerned with time than distance at this point - but any kind of easy input system would be nice rather than me making up a spreadsheet.

I broke the 17 minute mile!!!!!
Okay I know breaking 17 minutes isn't impressive for most - but I weigh over 280 pounds and I just ran/walked the mile in 16 minutes and 49 seconds. I'm proud - and I thought I did good when I broke the 18 minute mile 2 days ago. I set a goal for myself. I'm going to run a 5k in 2010. For me .. that takes a lot of training…

Does anyone else track sugar?
I like to track sugar since I know that's my killer. On here the goal is 30 (grams I assume). Does anyone get near this goal? For me if I can have the number lower than 100 - it's a victory. It is frustrating trying to hit the 30. I can't even see how this is possible. The fruit I eat alone has me pushing 50. I'm not…

I was bad but then good.
It is official I can't have treats in the house. I ate the whole box of chex mix chocolate chunk bars. That is 6. I was good all day but then I had one then another ... and you see where this story goes. Instead of of accepting my defeat for the day. I decided to go to the gym and try to burn off as many of those excess…

I'm starting over again ...
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Edison I think technically I've found 197 ways ... Lets hope I stay with attempt 198! I'm so sick at failing at weight loss and have been seriously thinking lap band. I just don't believe in it. I'm still able to move. I should be able to lose…

I feel like an addict
I've always lived a clean healthy life for the most part - no alcohol and no smoking. I don't eat read meat except for an occasional cheeseburger once every two months. Well, I felled off the wagon again on my weight loss goals and I chose today to start again. I made a chart for gold stars and everything. I read books…

Starting over
I was on here last summer and I went astray although this was working. Apparently I have the attention span of a 5 year old. But nowadays I look at myself and I see ugly. :sad: I could always see physical beauty in me in the past even with being overweight, but now I just feel so bad and shameful that I have to do…

Am I crazy?
I was cleaning house and looked at my stomach in the mirror - so I took a pic and compared it to my beginning picture. Am I crazy or is there a change? The pic is in my profile I don't know how to put it in a thread. I'm just curious if there is a change or I've been looking at my grotesque stomach for too long hoping for…

I hate brown rice so I was experimenting today. 1 container of ready to serve brown rice -170 calories 1 pouch of chicken of the sea crab-45 calories and cajun seasoning to taste <--- I like spicy Anyways, what a great combo. and not for too many calories. It is really filling. I think I might eventually add veggies to…

Yea buddy!
I just wanted to brag that I'm only 500mgs or whatever the unit is for sodium over - which is a small miracle for me Also for the first time, I am under 100 grams of sugar. Once again a small miracle for me. Don't get me wrong I realize I'm still over especially sugar (3x over) But gotta recognize the small success as well…

Does anyone else...
Does anyone else feel like they are a recovering alcoholic? or something? Its funny. I'm so conscience of my decision making with food- I feel like I'm battling a drug addiction. T Like yesterday I didn't do well. I didn't eat much but killed on sugar. I ate a whole angel food cake :blushing: - then again I think if I'm…

Anybody else's goal --
Is anyone else's goal to take the morbid off their obesity? My first goal is to take the morbid off my obesity and just be obese. My goal weight is under 200 pounds at 190 and I would still be obese. To be overweight I have to be 185. So the sad fact is long time goal I'll shoot for overweight short term goal - I don't…

sneaky chef?
Has anyone used the sneaky chef cookbooks or deceptively delicious? I ordered them and still waiting for them in the mail. I was just curious. Is the food honestly any good? Plus, having the food 'fortified' with the veggies more is it helping with cravings? general health? getting your daily veggies in? For those who…

Wheres the logic?
I finally got a heart rate monitor (polar f6). Anyways, after a workout being in my target range it says that 45% fat was burned (I assume fat calories) Yesterday, I did a maize maze for an hour (best time yet) and I couldn't push myself hard enough to get in the target range (bf was slowing me down) Anyways, I recorded…

A couple of springs ago I took hip hop dancing classes ... well tonight I downloaded some hip hop songs onto my ipod and went from listening to them while washing dishes to dancing my little heart out. I brought out my huge mirror to watch myself.. and as I'm dancing I'm thinking .. damn I look sexy. :smooched: So now that…

Change for the better ...
Just taking a sec to toot my own horn. I'm finally starting to see results and am shedding the weight. I gave up my digital cable (100 channels) and tivo. Partly because I save $40 and use that 40 towards gym membership, but also it prevents me from sitting on my butt all night watching tv. I'm down to 20 basic channels…

Honey vs. Sugar
Which is better honey or sugar? I got in this discussion with the home ec teachers. Personally, I would think that honey is better because it isn't processed. They say sugar is sugar. Does anyone actually know? btw - just got some local honey from one of our school's security guards. Freakin' Awesome!
