Wow, thanks everyone for great info [once again]. I am interested in the self defense course and will check to see if anything is offered in my area. I have never heard of it before and it sounds like something I would enjoy. I have considered dance. Ballet to be specific. Just for the toning...

I don't see dust settling on her anytime soon.....

I have thought of that. It's a good idea. I don't seem as excited about it though. Hmmm, I suppose I'll think of something. I could take music lessons but wouldn't burn many calories :+

Maybe some counseling would benefit the relationship. It sure doesn't hurt. Many people go before marriage.

Along with all the other problems you mention what about chaining the dog in the basement. What kind of life is that? Horrible. The whole thing is horrid! Poor child, poor dog......

Great info. Thanks all! I know I would love, love, love these sports. When kickboxing we plummeted the pads and heavy bags [spinning kicks and all]. It was the most difficult workout I have ever experienced. Major fun factor plus it was rewarding to accomplish a new skill. I am afraid however...

ditto

I am looking for an activity to get me out of the house. Something athletic would be great so I was considering taking tae kwon do or karate. I have no experience with either. I did however take "real" kickboxing from a mens gym and loved it some years ago. I cannot take that again as I have...

Good for you! maybe you can share some before and after pics when the swelling goes down??

That is really hot for anyone!

Well...ok.....maybe just a bratwurst then :-)

I'd look like a sausage in that dress

I want to know which one of you tied the weights to my feet while I slept last evening? And you really thought you could get away with it didn't you? Had I not pulled out KPC today you might just have. It was a sure sign when I couldn't get my feet off the floor. Dang they were heavy today...

I actually feel ravenous sometimes WHILE while working out. And I should add it's not b/c I didn't eat. Heck, I'm always hungry :-(

Lot's of great feedback. DH and I discussed options last evening. We are still undecided. Our 16 DD is a great kid who has stayed out of trouble and made good choices thus far. We are considering if this would send her the wrong message. I think she and I should have an honest heart to heart. If...

OK, so here is the weakest link as I see it. If a teen wanted to go somewhere off limits they could stay the night at a friends house. Check in with parents, then leave the phone at friends and go out. Then the teen is out late doing whatever they do and doesn't have a phone in case of...
