I have tried so many different things and nothing seems to work. My clothes come out of the wash smelling just fine (I use unscented detergent), but when I start working out again, I smell them. My belief is that once the clothing gets to a certain age the stink is just there to stay. I wear...

I don't like the "Influence" either. I had the same experience as the poster above. Simply not enough cushion or support; as a result, I too, am shopping for new shoes.

Sweet potatoes. Blech. I hate the texture. Slimy and gross.

Does anyone know of a Food tracker/calorie tracker software program you would recommend? Not an online tracker, but a software program. I am interested in some kind of food log, but something simple. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles. Mostly I want to track calories in and out, save...

I see some of you already picked my choices, but. . . I am not sure who Kathryn Heigl is, but I always pictured Stephanie as more like a Leah Remini (sp?) type. Grandma Mazur as the gramma from the Nanny. Ranger - The Rock Morelli - Benjamin Bratt Lula - Queen Latifah...

Hopefully this doesn't get too long, but I want to give some background first. I have maintained an 85 pound weight loss for about 6 years now. I lost the weight following Weightwatchers. I do still need to lose fat, probably about 20 pounds or so. I am not too concerned with increasing...

tobermory: I have that same book! I got mine in 3rd grade (um, 35 years ago!!!) and I will never get rid of it. It is so much fun. I use the peanut butter cookie recipe out of there all time, it is the best PB cookie recipe I have come across. DH and I always laugh at the instructions...

I am 44, my DH is 41. We knew when we first got together over 20 years ago that we did not want kids. That has never changed. I too am not charmed by babies and I have never had a smidgen of baby lust. Not all of us are meant to be parents, and that is ok. Many women and men do not want...

I hate to do this, but here is my little soapbox. Please pay for your music. It supports the artist.

I had LASIK done last year at 43, so 39 is definitely not too old. The issue is that after 40 your eye muscles begin to change, which is what causes the need for reading glasses. This cannot be corrected by LASIK. So even though you might need your regular glasses, you may eventually still...

This looks like it is the WW check in, am I right? I hope it is ok to barge in here and introduce myself :) I just started back, officially, on WW after about a 2 year hiatus. I started WW in November, 2003ish. I originally had over 100 pounds to lose. I lost about 85 and reached a point...

Two of my faves: Black Eyed Susans and Passion Flower http://images.google.com/images?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS306&q=black+eyed+susan+vine&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=up2kSsiYKJCoNrikjeMP&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4...

I did PP this a.m. on my bicycle trainer in the garage. It was early, but already steamy. I sweated buckets. I just absolutely love this workout. It always gives me goosebumps and the hair on my arms was sticking up. It was incredible. I dedicated my workout in memory of my brother...

I highly recommend the Time Traveler's Wife. Please read the book before you see the movie. Movies rarely do the book justice. Fabulous book.

I had mine about 9 mos ago and I was very specific in asking my doc about exercise. Her only concern that was that I avoid getting sweat in my eyes for about a week. That was it.
