Foods	So upset I don't live in America!	Feb 13 2008 17:46 (UTC)	16
Oh my gosh! I wish we had some english food here! My little sis is there right now and I'm having her mail some delicious cheese and onion crisps, crunchies, smarties and my favorite--Bovril--don't forget the jaffa cakes please :)
Fitness	how to make cardio less boring???	Jan 31 2008 18:11 (UTC)	13
Read, Read, Read! That's what I do and I've found its alot easier to lose track of time rather than watching tv. I know it might be hard when your on the elliptical--but once you get the balance down-its a piece of cake.
The Lounge	Silly question about George Foreman Grill.	Jan 09 2008 16:53 (UTC)	4
Oh heck yeah! George Foreman's rock! You can make grilled sandwiches on them --they do flatten out though. I like grilling up a chicken breast or bocca burger for a quick and easy meal.
Weight Loss	Oh my Goodness!	Jan 09 2008 00:05 (UTC)	4
Shoot-- my feelings would have been hurt--but just for a minute. I say take advantage of the opportunity. If they're willing to pay for you, maybe suggest paying for your gym membership (if you go to one). If my boss offered to help me out financially with my health goals I'd be all over it. You did say that you were close with your employer--so I'm sure she didn't mean any harm.
The Lounge	From IOWA?	Jan 02 2008 16:47 (UTC)	25

Motivation	Waiter/Waitress Advice	Dec 03 2007 18:52 (UTC)	16
Man! Do I know that one. I waitressed for over 12 years and struggled with the same thing. My suggestion is just to drink lots of water and try to stay busy. If you have time to lean---you have time to clen :) If you must snack--go for something healthy like wheat crackers with peanut butter or maybe some fruit. Good luck.
Foods	Smallest calories for the most chocolate?	Nov 28 2007 18:53 (UTC)	9
I like no sugar added fudgesicles. The ones I get at Aldi's are only 40 or 45 calories a piece and are delicious! I also enjoy special K bars chocolate drizzle. Yum!!
The Lounge	What should I get my mom for Christmas?	Nov 14 2007 21:26 (UTC)	6
How about some oil paints or new canvases?
Motivation	Bride Buddies	Oct 25 2007 20:10 (UTC)	112
Hey Ladies!! I just found this post--I'm a May bride too. The 31st to be exact. So far I've lost 41 lbs. I've been excercising consistently since November--but didn't find CC until July and since then--I've lost the majority of my weight. (I was still eating crap ;)Started at 211 and now down to 170. Glad to find this bridal motivation thread!
Weight Loss	I hate diet sabotagers	Sep 21 2007 19:05 (UTC)	4
panda- I know too well about the brownies! One of my friends asked to come over and use MY oven to bake brownies! Now this friend actually works out with me once in a while and knows how hard I've been working---she's been slacking lately and I think that's why she keeps offering me fattening treats. Geez! (oh yeah--I told her no thank you!:)

Tuck! Just saw you on the board! I live in Davenport too!! It's nice to see someone else in the area on here. Good luck with the vodka vice--I've got a beer one myself. If you can say one thing about the midwest--we like our alcohol lol!!

Weight Loss	No wonder I can't lose weight :-(	Aug 29 2007 02:34 (UTC)	13
When do you work out? I've found that going to the gym straight from work pushes those mid-day munchies aside. Then I get home and prepare dinner---so I get full from that rather than snacks. I don't know if that works with your schedule--but it has definitley helped me :)
