I haven't done any running since Sunday because I needed some recovery time.
On Monday I cut back my food intake to approx 1500 cal/day to counteract the
water gain. Today was parent/teacher conferences so I didn't get out of work
until 6PM.  It was a crappy day and I'm in the midst ...

Hello ...
I'm going to start with a short post and then perhaps follow up.
I am feeling quite down right now.  I lost a lot of weight and have
started to gain it back.

Hello ...
I know that Curves has been discussed here before, but I wondered if
anyone who is currently going to Curves might be willing to share any
thoughts or experiences.

I am trying to plan ahead here.  I would like to prepare a nice dinner
for two for Valentine's Day.  Any suggestions?  I think that DH would be
opened to something like London broil (especially if we are able to
grill outside) or salmon but I'd love to hear your suggestions :-)

Help! 800cal/day = good diet or ED? "Eat less, do more" not working?
VLCD trap?
I am about to go insane. After two years of deep dedication and going
it alone with VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) calorie restriction, I need

I have less than 6 weeks to recover from being pregnant and having a

does anyone know a good place on the net to find these things out?
Right now I'm looking for Orville Reddenbacher popcorn, but theres
always something.

 I haven't posted a thread in at least a week so I thought I'd post one
now.  I've been using some Reebok resistance bands for some bicep and tricep
work and have noticed a nice curvature on the front and back of the arm and
am amazed at what these big rubberband can actually do.  ...

Been reading for over a month now, and it has brought me motivation,
but I decided finally that I need to be a part of it to REALLY reach
my goal.  I'm 27, healthy, 5'9, 194 pounds male with a large build.  I
was 239 roughly 8 or so months ago, and lost all the weight just by

Welcome to the first-ever "Extreme Makeover" wedding. Yes, you read
that right.

 Just wanted to report that I've lost another 2 to 3 pounds since I last

I had fluctuated between 225 and 227.  Today after a walk and ...

Meant to do this last night, but fell asleep early.

and they really have some nice clothes that I liked.  ...
