Skogg System?
I did a search for this, but the most I saw was vague comments about how it's good. My husband found it and is excited and since I've started doing kettlebell workouts it would be something that he and I could do together... But $80 is a little pricy and I never really trust the feedback listed on sites that are trying to…

My dog is dead. Help?
This was back on the 24th of December. We had to have him put to sleep as he had a skin condition- the poor thing was allergic to everything. We tried everything the vet could come up with- hypoallergenic food, steroids, topical treatments, shampoos, even a custom allergy shot. Nothing worked for any length of time. He'd…

We need some lovin'
So to all you parents out there, who are working hard to take care of your spawnage, I salute you. It's a hard road, filled with unsolicited advice and ungrateful little moochies, but hopefully in the end they'll be productive, happy members of society who won't require too much therapy. To the Mums and Dads! :drinker:

December Exercise Challenge? Start 12/5?
Okay, I'd like to start a Challenge for December. Remember when Gary was doing those and they were awesome? We should bring them back. If there's enough interest and people want to do teams, that's doable, a team challenge could easily be added on. (For teams I'm thinking maybe ten people per, to keep it easy.) This will…

Thanksgiving Food Shame
Or for that matter, holiday food shame. Anyone else getting a little tired of it? It's food. You can eat it or not; you have the power and the choice. I know that will power is an issue for a lot of people, including myself. I know that it's really easy to eat large amounts of delicious numminess. I also know that going on…

Team Abnehmen October (Closed Group)
Okay, here's our very own forum! Hopefully this will make things a bit easier than me messaging everyone or trying to follow walls. So, we're about to enter October. We are kicking butt and taking names- I think we're in a very good position to win the trophy again next week! Everyone is doing so well. I hope you're all…

Virtual Gym Buddy?
I seriously doubt that I'm going to find someone who actually goes to the 24 Hour Fitness in Kirkland Washington around 7.30 or 8 pm, but this may be the next best thing? Does anyone work out/ go to the gym around 7.30 or 8 pm (Pacific) Monday through Friday who would be willing to check in so we could keep each other…

Whining... Someone backhand me, pls.
I'm tired and not so much with the caring. I haven't been as religious with my logging as I have in the past and exercising isn't happening as much as it should. I have made it to the gym both Sunday and Monday, so that's something, but my sodium intake is out of control. I know everything that I'm not doing, but kicking…

Need two motivated people to join a challenge
If anyone is interested in a long term challenge (16 weeks left!) and has the drive, commitment, and desire to support and be supported, I have two openings on my team. Good sense of humour and fluency in smack talk is a plus. I'm hoping to turn this team into a close knit butt kicking machine. Currently there are two…

Hey! YOU!!
Yes, you. Over there. The one behind the computer screen. Stop it. Stop being unhappy with yourself, because in all honesty? You are perfect. Stop wishing that you looked like someone else or that people would like you as much as they like someone else. Stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you. Stop hating your…

Protein Powder that don't taste like, well, you know.
So I've been looking through my diary and have decided that I need to increase my protein intake. Now, I've heard about protein powders, but I'm not too big on the whole shakes and smoothies thing. I'm looking more for something that can be mixed in with regular foods without completely killing/overpowering the taste. I…

My husband is an odd man
When chatting with him on my lunch break, he said the following: "I know that you have affairs. I understand, I really do. You have needs and I can't meet all of them. Now, Alfredo, I was okay with him because he was a bit of a limp noodle. Not much of a threat. But now that you've ditched him and started with this Jim…

NSV... Maybe a little silly
My husband and I are going to the theatre tonight. I don't have a lot of really dressy formal wear, so I had to go hunting. As I rummaged through the closet I came across my prom dress from 1997. I tried it on for a lark... and it's too big for me. That's right... I'm smaller now than I was in my senior year of high…

Sore
I was a good little monkey and searched the forum before posting this. I didn't see anything that answered what I'm wondering in the first ten pages, so here goes... I want to keep working out 7 days a week- in fact I have to. The gym is the only place I get me time. If I'm at home either my daughter or my husband want my…

SLACKERS! I challenge you!! Continued...
So, 1_up started this by challenging everyone to burn 300 calories today. It looks like most of us were successful... But here comes the weekend! It seems like everyone seems to have trouble staying on track over Saturday and Sunday. In the spirit of this, how about we make a deal? Burn at least 600 calories over the…

Working out with kids?
I'm looking for suggestions- I could take my little girl (three years old) with me to the gym and let her play in the kid's club while I work out, but I only get to see her for 4 to 5 hours a day, so I don't want to lose the time with her. I've been taking her to the park, but the other parents look at me funny when I…

Noob
Hello! I'm new here and horrible at making introductory posts. I just joined yesterday and am hoping that this site will help me stay on track by keeping me accountable. I usually start out really well, then tend to get distracted. Before joining I'd managed to lose about 80 pounds, but ten have crept back over the last…
