Thank you to all of you who had such kind words to say regarding my mother, who was hit by a drunk driver. I am so grateful that my mother is alive and will have the opportunity to heal and rebuild as much as possible. I am trying to follow my mother's example and pray that the other driver...

Good afternoon! I am pleased to report a 2 pound loss this week! (Doubly pleased since it is smack in the middle of TTOTM!) Hope you are all healthy and motivated today! Katie

Good morning: I am happy to report a loss of 1 pound! Things seem to be going well for me - even with this week being the worst one before TTOTM! Hope you are all well and happy too! Katie

Honeybunch: Hi! I've been trying to search all your past posts about leg training and getting nowhere. I remember that you tried Lower Body Solution and the Bun and Thigh Rocker. I am having a lot of trouble getting my legs to respond like I want them to, PS, S&H, and even MIS get them...

Hi All: It must be close to TTOTM for me, because my weight is doing crazy things. I'll post next week to see what's really going on! :D I've been thinking a lot about Jillybean's post and just wanted to let you all know that as an eating disordered, control freak, recovering bulemic, I...

Good morning: I remembered to log in and everything! I've been really bad about not exercising and not posting lately. I seem to be very much an "all or nothing" girl, I can exercise like a mad woman and eat clean or NOT (mostly its not). I've been reading about exercise, lurking on the...

In what I can only explain as endorphin overload or something, I was so excited by my progress in the past two weeks that I did a really heavy round of SH legs and shoulders. Now my quads are killing me!!! And I live in an 8 story house with TONS of stairs! I've stretched, massaged and whined...

Can anyone recommend any good activities for releasing negative energy? I'm thinking of things like writing down the issue and releasing it in a baloon.... (a good one that just didn't work this time). Activities that encourage you to examine the problem and then MOVE ON!! ? I'm struggling...

I don't actually know anything - I splurged over the weekend and haven't had the guts to check the weight yet. I thought I'd be encouraged by hearing from all my favorite losers..... Katie

The "Quirks" post made me think of this.... I knew my DH was "THE ONE" when these two things happened.... 1) My parents came to visit and meet my DH for the first time. My DH (Fiance at the time) came in after my mom and I finished loading the dinner dishes into the dishwasher and he opened...

Karen: We're PCSing to Germany in June. How far are you from Heidelberg? How hard is it to get on the internet and stay connected to this forum?!? Thanks for the info. Katie

LAST EDITED ON Apr-22-02 AT 10:29AM (Est)[p]Hi! Hope everyone had a great week. I found some motivation from somewhere and lost 2 pounds. I'm now at 180 and waiting to see 17* anything! I started my food records and exercise journal again. Maybe I'm more motivated now that I'm planning to...

Hi everyone. I had a gallbladder attack Tuesday night (no stones, thankfully) but got conflicting advice from the ER doc and my doc so I thought I'd see what your experiences were. The ER doc said basically that gall bladder attacks result from being "Fat, Female, or forty" and this will...

This week, for the first time in 10 years - I weigh less than my husband!!! (He's 5'8" and I'm 5'3") I know I'm not supposed to compare myself to others, including him....but I feel so good today, I might buy some new lingerie on the way home from work! Katie

Cathe: I originally posted this on the open discussion forum. Any pointers on maintaining core stability and maximum exertion while getting adequate oxygen would help me a lot! Thanks, Katie Please help, educated crowd! I am new to lifting and just this morning struggled through S&H legs and...

Please help, educated crowd! I am new to lifting and just this morning struggled through S&H legs and shoulders. I went extremely light (3-5 pound dumbells) to focus on form, based on a recommendation in one of Cathe's previous posts. However, long before I exhausted my muscles I got...
