I do a lot of tongue biting, either at the gym or when I am having conversation with people about working out. The only time I really say something is when I think the person will be receptive to the input. If I have tried to tell someone something in the past and they've either explained it...

I give you a lot of credit for making that decision! Having children is a big responsibility and one that you must be ready to undertake. If it is not something that you want, you should not have them! I have a lot of respect for people that make that decision. Your in-laws have no say...

Thanks to everyone that responded :) I normally do not give a rat's a$$ what people think (to quote a poster above!), but this time, I really felt awful that someone might think that little of me to say such a thing. Then again, someone that would take the time to tell such a rumor probably...

I did my first last weekend, except I started with a 3 hours spinning event to benefit a charity. Not. so. smart. :) :) :) You will be fine. Bring lots of fluids and a towel. I was very intimidated but ended up having a good time and deciding to go to a spin class once a week from here on...

I'm a professional woman. I work as an attorney, where a fair majority of my collegues are male, though more and more, we are starting to "even out." That said, I have a few rather good friends that are male. As some of you know, I am recently engaged and planning a wedding. I couldn't...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Poor Laura, that stinks!

If you want my advice, I'd takemore than a day off, especially if your chest was hurting. Sometimes not taking the rest day makes you stay sick longer or pushing too hard when you are starting to get better makes you relapse. Take time to rest and get better. Your workouts after a good rest...

Other than the very first one (b/c it was comical to me & my fiance that my cousin called the person whose surprise party it was for the details), I haven't told anyone in the bridal party about these comments. I only shared rhe one story with my maid of honor. The one thing I do know is that...

oooh, tough subject! Maybe you can think about what you want to say and find a time to say it, either to SIL or BIL. Otherwise, you are going to get madder and madder and at some point, explode. And we all know how well that goes when we are mad about don't think about the words coming out...

I usually bake mine in the oven, right on the rack but on the rack underneath it, I put a piece of foil. Sometimes they do "ooze" and you don't want junk on your oven. I don't put anything on it at all prior to baking but after I either break open and put some butter on there or eat it as is or...

I'm getting married in October here in NH, though I am from NJ. Of course, there is the issue of the bridal shower and I am sure where to hold it. There? here? Both? That kind of made me feel totally out of the loop and sure that they'd catch me off-guard :) Here's my rant: Why is it...

MM was intense for me last night! I had an incredible workout, followed by a nice, lenten friendly baked cod dinner :) Got up this AM and did kixkbox at the gym (thought I left a tad early, against my cardinal rule of not doing so) and am off to a spin-a-thon for the ADA with my friend...

I posted a while back and there were some great recipes posted (I remember in particular a pulled pork that I make frequently). I'm not sure how to search & find it but I bet someone can help out and post the link. Yes?

I sooooo am too tired to workout, but wanted to throw out a quick "thank you!" as I head down to do Muscle Max. Coming here is always great motivation!

I guess I am a little frugal because I have looked at the ST a bunch of times and where I already have up to 25's in dumbbells, I can't justify the cost!

It looks like you're out of the woods with your son, but wanted to post a tidbit. I had this (for 4 weeks on and off, mind you) and my mom made me take Motrin. All the way from NJ (I live in NH), at the age of 34, she still has the "mom influence!" I swore I didn't need it because of...

Thanks everyone! I will venture out and check these out. I was in the drugstore the other day and my head was spinning! lol

This was exactly my issue! I've seen this happen to many people. I now don't bother with the ongoing battle (other than when I gained from hurting my back, etc.) and simply try to stay at my comfortable weight & be happy with it.

Happy Birthday! I hadn't really thought about that until you posted it! Hope you have a nice celebration!

I live in NH and we are expecting 6 - 15. Nothing like a wide range, huh? :) :) :) We're just waiting it out to see what happens but it's supposed to end in the next couple of hours.
