    Oscars.....Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin

    I LOVE Steve Martin, but couldn't understand why Alec Baldwin would be on too....but they were great together! Really, it was quite funny! The dance number was a snore, and my husband and I were saying "why do they have these dopey things anyway??" My husband said it must be so the...

    Who One Star Rates a Friggin' Birthday Thread?!?

    Well, I sure hope the start rating thing goes away, it seems like the only thing it has ever done was start arguments :(

    Interval training--a week's exercise in less than an hour?

    I hate to tell ya.....I've noticed that I maintain my weight better with high intensity. I think it works better, more results in less time. I'm looking at that other thread, people working out for 75-90-120 minutes, 5-6 days a week??? Not me, ever ever ever.

    five day rest does wonders

    Back when I was exercising religiously (not now, on my way to fixing that) I used to log my workouts. It turned out that every 8 weeks, I would have an unplanned rest week. I just wouldn't feel like working out, and didn't, and felt guilty. It was only when I looked back over the year's calendar...

    Quick capitalization question

    In college, my sister wrote "this is a moot point" and the professor crossed it out and put "mute." :confused::confused::confused: Correct the teacher now, before she gets a master's degree and heads off to teach college!

    Gaining weight, NOT starving, helped female Olympian! I love it!

    Finally, a story about a strong woman that gained 10 pounds and is not being raked over the coals for it. You really should read this story (it's short) about skater Tanith Belbin, who gained 10 pounds on purpose and is happy about it! Here's a snippet, and the link below. “I thought I was out...

    Carnie Wilson annoys me

    BWA HA HA!!!!!!!!!! What in the world would Carnie and Kirstie do if they ever had a REAL problem?? They really make me angry. I just got back from my yearly mammo, it was all clear, and I could only thank the heavens above that it was. I know many women are not so lucky. As I get into my...

    Carnie Wilson annoys me

    Remember, that singer that weighed over 300 pounds, had a bypass and lost over 150 of it, had full-body cosmetic surgery, posed in Playboy, and now has gained over half of it back? Well, now she's moaning again, for a buck of course. You'd have to buy the whole People magazine to get the full...

    Kevin Smith/Southwest - whattaya think?

    I don't recognize 99% of the flash-in-the-pan "stars" on TV, but I would recognize him. I've seen his movies, and yes, even laughed at them! His point was that he had traveled on SW numerous times (10X in one week, and even the day before that flgiht) and that his weight had never been an...

    Kevin Smith/Southwest - whattaya think?

    Well, of course I don't know him. And I would gather than nobobdy knows him except his family, and you can't make judgements about him from his stand-up act either. When celebrities are in the public, on stage, they are always "on." I said, you never hear about him in the news causing public...

    Kevin Smith/Southwest - whattaya think?

    My husband is a Kevin Smith fan and listens to his podcast every single week. He listened to this one as well. He said that Kevin Smith readily acknowledges that he’s a fat guy, but not that fat. Smith said he believes that the flight attendant recognized him, and kicked him off because of his...

    Disappearing person

    I think I know what you mean. When I started to lose a bit of weight, and I would sit down and touch my stomach and feel it was flatter, for a second I'd have this flash of anxiety like "where'd I go?!" then I'd tell myself, "well dummy you wanted to lose weight, and you are! I guess I had...

    The Happy Story Thread

    I LOVE THIS THREAD!! Thank you for starting it, and all the great responses! One incident that pops into mind for me: a few years ago I was doing a "big shop" at Walmart, and the bill was a good $200. Right when I get up to the cashier, after spending 30 minutes in line, is when all the credit...

    Digital SLR camera: buyer's advice?

    I don't know a thing about cameras, but I do know a guy that runs an excellent blog about this very subject. He absolutely knows what he's talking about, and if youcan't find an answer o his site, I'm fairly certain if you emailed him or posted, he'd answer you...

    NEAT

    Ditto! It's SHOCKING what you can learn from a GWF. Mild-moderate movement throughout the day will burn more than an hour intense exercise. This makes total sense....15 years ago my job entailed walking around all day. I weighed 122 without any effort, I never exercised at all. That's 10 lbs...

    what's YOUR personal motto???

    My wonderful, wonderful Daddy used to say: "Honeybee, :) there's a certain amount of garbage you have to take in this world, just don't let them rub your face in it." When I am deciding which battles I need to fight, I think about that...is this just normal everyday stuff that we all have to...

    So utterly hooked on "Say Yes to the Dress"!

    What is it about this show, that I am so totally addicted to?! I only started watching it a little while ago, my sister got me hooked on it, and now when i come home and see TiVo has remembered to record it, I do a little happy dance and plunk down with a glass of pinot grigio! :eek: I'm also...
