Hey all I had a thyroid lobectomy on the 24th. Has anyone else had this? If so, how long was it before you were able to exercise? Cheryl

I had a pedometer (iffy on the spl...). Seems it was more of a gadget for me then a tool...haha! So, I didn't work out yesterday, just too tired. I felt horrible today. Then I got on the scale and saw my weight go up and OH BOY did that bring me DOWN! All day I was like the monster from...

Ok did the KB workout tonight so just working myself up for tomorrow's walking workout!!

Well, just an update.... I went in the morning and worked out on Saturday. Felt really good about myself and the fact that I followed through on something! Then came Sunday...can you hear the dreaded music from the old cartoons? Yep. that was me. I got one of my "lite" migraines. I was...

Thx all! I needed both the advice a bit of a kick. I tend to be an "all or nothing" person. If I can't do one solid hour then I view my workout as nothing. I know this is not true but I tend to pick up on the lies...probably cause I want an excuse for the moment. In the end I know I will...

Hey all, I need some help. My list of excuses for why I can't workout is growing instead of shrinking... - I'm getting married and have no time - I have no room in my apt - I'm too tired - I can't afford a gym membership I'm sure I can think of more as well, but you get the idea...

Hey all, This year I really want to follow through on all those goals that I put in the 'someday' category. I would also like to add some fun and exciting goals but I'm having some trouble coming up with them, so I wanted to hear what you are all planning...as well as any kinds of rewards you...

Oooo! Such great ideas! I have to admit, initially I looked at some of them and thought...no way, that isn't going to work! But then I realized, I'm not 'truly' hungry, I just need something in my hands. My late night activities have been a lot of family time, which involves a lot of sitting...

Just trying to get some ideas... What do you do when you get the after dinner munchies??? It's not due to hunger either...just habit...which seems to turn into hunger...I need some combat training so I can fight them off...HELP! :) Cheryl

WOW!!!! This is GREAT information! I know she takes the prelief but I'm not sure if she knows or has tried the other things you mentioned! I'm going to pass this on right away! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out. As you said, it is an unusual illness and that...

Hey all! I was just wondering if any of you out there suffer from Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome? My sister has it and is trying to find out ways to relieve the pain. She has already cut a lot of known foods (that cause flare ups) out of her diet, but still has pain and...

Cool! I am excited and nervous about this, but I think I need that push/incentive. Diet is also my plan of attack...just ate the last of the ice cream today! See you at the finish line!!!

Hi all, I was thinking about doing the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle summer challenge and I wanted to know if anyone had done this before and what your outcome was. I also wanted to know if anyone did this using Cathe's DVDs. Please let me know cause sign up starts next week...

Hmmm.....great thoughts/comments...lots to think about in terms of your comments as well as how my body works. I think I'm going to have to do some trial and error. I'm really scared of those hills but I know I have to conquer them. Thanks all! Cheryl

Hey guys, I'm just starting running and actually did my first race of the year today - The Martian Marathon (but just did the 10K). anyway, I'm really bothered by the look of my legs and want to lose weight there as well as tone up. I wanted to know if weights will help me with my...

Hey all, I'm looking for a rotation to give me some long/lean leg muscles. I tend to 'bulk up' on the lower half pretty easily. I'm especially looking to strengthen my inner thighs, cause my doc told me that my knee problems are due to weak inner thighs, despite the fact that I work them...

I'm training too!!! Holy Moly! You make me want to re-think what I'm doing. I just pulled up a beginner 1/2 marathon training schedule (from marathonrookie.com) and have been using that to train for my 1/2 marathon this June...and I just started running! One of the things that is helping me...

Thank you for your post Jean! My pastor actually used that same story in church recently and I was thinking of it when I wrote the post. How interesting that you brought it up too! Cheryl - ahhh, what can I say? You hit the nail on the head and you're not the first one to mention getting...

Hey All, Just wanted to talk. I have been in a depression for the past couple of weeks and while I have been exercising, I haven't been eating well, so my weight increased, which only helped to heighten my depression. I think it came from a mixture of things...guy troubles (which I posted...

I also want to say that through reading all of your post I have read some very funny and very touching words of support and personal stories. I think we all owe it to ourselves to take to and realize just how great we are - not in an arrogant way but in a way that gives us strength. I come...
