My obesity battle has been lifelong. I lost many battles but am winning
the war.  My weight that is healthy and has remained quite stable

remembered with humor as well as dignity when I turn in my Tanita for

I am planning to try some steamed bok choy tonight with dinner.  I
haven't tried that before.  I checked and it is not in my Palm database
so I started hunting down some nutritional info for it.  The thing is, I

Yep, I turned another year older today.  A year ago I bought myself a
mountain bike for my b-day.  I had today off, and took my bike out for a
ride.  Eastern Oregon is so beautiful this time of year with all the
wildflowers and such, and it's not too hot so I headed out there.  I ...

Hi, all.  I've been lurking here for a while and now have a question I hope

I've been doing interval training now for 1-2 months and feeling great!  I
use the elliptical 3-4x a week for 30-45 mins at a time.  My goal is to
spend 2 minutes getting my heart rate up to 155-160 and then 2 mins getting

These past months living in Wine Country working in the wine industry
I have put on 10 pounds.  I am exercising daily, running for 30-45
minutes, doing Bikram a few times a week and riding my bike.  It does
not seem to make a difference.  The reason why is that I have very

Made it through the past three days without a hitch. It feels good to
let the 'old ways' go and to get back on track again. I feel better each
