    Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series

    BayouGal... These Sara Donati books look promising but before I buy them all, I was wondering if I had to read Last of the Mohicans first? I just don't want to get confused (very easy for me:+ ) Thanks!

    Where is the first place you lose weight?

    I voted for "Other" because I notice it in my face first. Then it is the Abs and then the boobs. Just the other day I put on a favorite bra and I must have lost a cup size! NOT WHAT I WANT....;(

    Doctor says no high impact workouts

    Iris- I am not personally familiar with degenerative disc disease, but I do have a herniated disc and two bulging discs above and below the herniation. It took me about 8 months to fully get back into working out. Well, my physical therapist told me NO high impact whatsoever. She told...

    Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series

    I LOVED this series! I would be glued to these books! I honestly had to really force myself to read the last one. It was disappointing but all the others were wonderful!! I think I must reread...:7

    Summer Reading

    RE: Betsy... I loved Gone with the Wind. I couldn't believe I waited so long to read it!(I'm 28 and read it for the first time last year) I also just finished Goblet of Fire for the second time, last week! I must have it all fresh in my memory!! :7

    WW or BFL?

    Deborah, Thank you... I appreciate you taking the time to help my confused self:) That definitely does not sound like a plan I would enjou, let alone stick to. I did enjoy the freedom of WW and if I decide to go back to a plan that one is the most reasonable and doable. I was probably...

    WW or BFL?

    OK. I don't think it is possible to be anymore confused. I didn't think I was eating enough on WW and after losing 15 pounds I got stuck as well and was concerned about it messing up my metabolism even more. After reading some of the posts I started to think maybe I was wrong but now this...

    Summer Reading

    Betsy... I am also waiting for the Harry Potter. I can't wait!!! These books are such page turners! I hate that I usually finish them in a couple of days. I remember the first one I picked up at the grocery store thinking "now what is all this hype about". Well, I got home that day sat in...

    ok-- the overtraining principle?

    Samantha- It sounds like we are twins! When I gain weight is seems to go all over but particularly the upper back and arm area. I was just pinching an inch of my back fat last night to show my fiancé! I'm 5'5 and weight 135 so I am not considered overweight but I certainly have areas that...

    WW or BFL?

    I didn't add them for the example above. I would add 4 per day for my activity level but I felt it was still low. I WAS losing weight and I lost 15 lbs. I had been recovering from a back injury so when I got to the point where I was my usual active self, I didn't feel like 4 points extra was...

    Sabine- That is great news about the job! One less thing to worry about… Well, I am glad to hear that you are slowly feeling better. It sounds like you are definitely on the right track. Just remember to be patient and expect setbacks. Also, keep in mind that every single day things...

    WW or BFL?

    I'm not Deborah but one point is usually 50 calories. I say usually because it takes into account fiber and fat. My cereal is 80 calories per serving so, normally you would count that as 2 points but since it has 10 grams of fiber it is only counted as 1 point. My string cheese which is 80...

    Comment and question for A-jock

    RE: P.S. . . . Hi Linda- I use a 3 disc changer, but I would still do it if I had a one disc player. You could always jog in place or do somethinh else while waiting! :7

    WW or BFL?

    Deborah... I also was on WW and felt I didn't get enough points for my activity level. Even the 4 activity points did not seem like enough, especially if I wanted to add lean muscle. My concern was really about messing up my metabolism by "starving" my body. When I calculated how much I was...
