    The Happy Story Thread

    All these stories are so wonderful. I just had to add my own little story about my DD. She just turned 6 years old and for her Birthday one of my friends at work gave her a card with a $5 bill inside. She was so excited to get a whole $5 bill and immediately ran to her room and put it in her...

    Bakers, I need help

    I have an excellent recipe for a Chocolate Satin Mint Cake made with Andes Mints. It is a bundt cake though and it's quite a bit of work because it has a filling and a glaze, but it is wonderful. If you are interested in it let me know and I can type it out for you when I get a chance. You...

    COME BACK JONEZIE

    I too used to post on this forum frequently. It's been a few years, and I lurk every once in awhile, but I have to agree that it doesn't seem the same as it used to. As said before, there used to be disagreements and a flame war every so often, but nothing like this. There used to be such a...

    Why do people leave their carts out in the parking lot?

    I know that many of you have stated that you don't return your carts when you have your children with you. I guess my question is, aren't you able to take your children with you to the cart return and then walk or carry them back with you to your car? I agree with not wanting to leave your...

    Movie theater etiquette

    DH and I just took DD to see "The Princess and the Frog" on Wednesday, it was a matinee and the movie has been out for a couple weeks. We got there 10 minutes before the previews and I was shocked at how crowded it was. We don't particularly like to ask people to move, but were extremely...

    Padma Lakshti is so cool!

    My vote is for Bryan this year. He is such a cutie, and really down to Earth it seems. His brother seems a bit arrogant for my taste. Katie

    not eating all day

    That is TOTALLY me! I feel so bad for DH because I go to the gym after work and by the time I get home I am starving. I come home acting like this raving lunatic and then as soon as I eat I am back to myself. Many times when I get home DH already has dinner close to made. I guess he figures...

    Struggling.

    I agree with trying to use both. My husband also was sweet enough to convert our third car garage into a home gym for me. I enjoy working out at home, but I also sometimes missed a gym setting. I am lucky because the company I work for has a gym on premises for a very low price, but I have to...

    Too much cardio??

    Thanks for your responses ladies. My diet has certainly not been stellar lately, but I am focused right now on eating very clean, all lean protein, whole grains, fruits and veggies. I try to eat around 1400-1600 calories a day, although I am having a difficult time getting that many calories...

    Too much cardio??

    I need everyone's expert opinion on what works best for them. I am trying to lose around 20 pounds and am a total cardio junkie. However, I read conflicting information in regards to what is the best way to lose fat and build lean muscle mass (imagine that). I lift weights 3 times a week, but...

    eating off plan (opinions please)

    I think that everybody is different when it comes to what works for them, but I will say that I have had much success with giving myself one "cheat" day a week. I usually eat pretty healthy throughout the day but allow myself to go out to dinner and eat whatever I want, or order pizza and eat...

    binge vent

    I know exactly what you are going through. I've been there.... oh have I been there. I am an emotional eater too and typically once I take that "plunge" where I know I'm binging I eat just to be eating, not because I'm hungry. I do have to say though, I'm usually not as good as you are to go...

    Real Housewives of N.J....

    I so love this show! Danielle is insane!!! I actually think that Jacqueline is scared to end their friendship. Danielle has become almost obsessed with her. I actually missed the first episode, so I'm not sure exactly what happened between Danielle and Dina, but Danielle is totally obsessed...

    NJ Housewives..Anyone Loving This??

    I am so hooked! I loved the OC but never really got into the others. I made the mistake of turning it on this weekend and ended up watching all the season's episodes so far and of course now it is set up on my DVR. I'm so ashamed! :(

    I'm at a loss and I need your HELP!

    I think that where my confusion is that they say if you want to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume, which to me the easiest way to burn calories is by doing cardio. I also know that you can do too much cardio and it can hinder rather than help. I guess I just don't...

    I'm at a loss and I need your HELP!

    I am at a complete loss. To give you a little background, I have been doing Cathe for about 5 years now. I tend to be somewhat of a yo yo eater though. I go through periods of really clean eating, really serious workout schedules and I get really lean and fit. Then something like a vacation...

    Okay ladies, out of all Cathe's rotations...

    ... which one's gave you the best results. I love to follow her rotations, but I'm looking for one to help me shed fat and gain muscle definition without bulking up. I want to look lean and toned. I am wondering if I should be doing less cario and more weights. I'm kind of a cardio junkie so...
