Good job, ladies!!

I am down only two pounds, but I'm still happy with it considering I've been stuck for months. Needed this challenge to kick start my good habits.

Happy Turkey Day :)

I made it about 9 days last time I started...

I'll join ya beginning tomorrow (had dance class today instead)

I've been watching Biggest Loser on Hulu to get mentally prepared. I kind of like the way Jillian yells at people. Reminds me of my hs field hockey coach...

How about "Sunshine Cleaning"? 2 sisters go into the crime scene clean-up biz.

Oooh the above recommendation for "Away We Go." Definitely recommend that one.

Everyone I brought to it adored "Paper Heart." A fake-umentary about what love is. Michael Cera, can't go wrong.

Speaking of Michael Cera, I really love "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist." a fun, all-nighter chasing the mystery location of this obscure local band.

For funny - "I Love You, Man." Paul Rudd is always adorable.

omg fluffyadorablebunny,

where the heck do you live? the 1940s?? Sounds horrifying!

Are you really that shocked? Half the world's women must live in countries like the above poster's.

I guess not shocked. Just still appalled at women being treated like 2nd class citizens in far too many places :/

 Sounds like a friend of mine from highschool. If you wore any makeup, you were "cheating" to be pretty.

 nah! a case could be made for plastic surgery - really altering your looks.

make up is just working with what you got! Actually highlighting the features yo mama gave ya! that's not cheating :)

I'm in!

I have lost 15 lbs this year, but have been in this fluctuating awful plateau for months. This small goal should hold me accountable.

My first mini goal is to get under 170, and guess what? A 5 lb goal will do it!

Since today's Thursday and we're doing Thurs weigh-ins, what a great day to start. Count me in.

I see adults picking their noses in cars all the time. As a matter of fact, this is the only place I see adults doing this. There must be a universal false belief that car windows are uni-directional.

This happened to Andy on The Office in "Fun Run."

When I was an infant, it was recommended babies sleep on their tummies.

Now the opposite is recommended. I guess I'm just saying "expert advice" can and does change, so don't worry too too much.

I just made the very same decision earlier this week!

I went with the iphone.

for each application, the onscreen keypad changes to best suit that app while the blackberry keypad is obviously static.

the iphone 3g s, is really fast! that appealed to me. It also has gps capability.

Either way, you're going to get a kick-ass phone.

"oops oh my" - tweet

"you're making me high" - toni braxton

"angel" - massive attack

Fluffy Cootie-Shorts!

not sure how i feel about this...

my favorite bar is Luna's Caramel Nut Brownie.

It doesn't feel "healthy" but it is!

Slimfit - Thank you, I think the reassurance that you should take breaks will keep me motivated, and not feeling like I've fallen off the proverbial wagon.

Last 5 - thank you for the encouragement. Glad you're keeping us posted on your progress, we need to hear it!

dellli - the workouts are on youtube.com! Each level is broken up into 3 segments, just because of the length. You aren't supposed to stop in between, so maybe have them loaded and ready to go in different windows?

dacis - FOURTEEN POUNDS! tell us exactly how you've succeeded. How many cals per day, how many off-days from your diet? Did you do the shred every day for 30 days (I know you said you just recently have begun alternating w/ dancing and walking)? How many pounds were your weights? any other advice? Congratulations. I'd be psyched to achieve half that.

this may not be very "spicy" but my favorite low-cal way to eat tuna is to mix it with a wedge of laughing cow cheese rather than mayo.

It comes in a few different flavors!
