Wow, that was an interesting day and I can now say I've been thru a hurricane. Palm Beach actually got it worse than my parents in Naples, though it seems that Ft. Lauderdale and Miami and the Keys got the absolute worst of it. The "front" part of the hurricane was like a bad rain storm, windy...

Thanks jes-- Watching the weather channel is not helping, as much as I want the info, and listening to my neighbors putting up their shutters is a little nutsy for me. I just keep thinking that it will lose some speed crossing the state, but then the guy on the weather channel just said that...

To any Catheites in Florida-- Hope all is well with you all. My parents are in Naples, FL and are as prepared as they can be with their hurricane shutters and all. I'm in Palm Beach and this will probably be the most sleepless nite for me--hubby is working at the Sheriff's dept, so it's just...

Ha! You've caught the marathon bug!! The first one really helped me do things a little differently for the second one, not MAJOR things, but just a tweak here and there in my training. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself(knee and all)--it'a an amazing achievement!! Mary:-)

RE: What to do to lose weight 229 pds....HELP please pl... I was thinking that you may want to cut and paste this and put it into "Open discussion" for an even greater response. Mary:-)

Not to worry, I'm sure many people will post here to help you. Here's a couple tidbits of info though: 1. It takes awhile to put the weight on and it will take awhile to take it off, HOWEVER, even if you eat the exact same way and ONLY increase your exercising you will lose weight, faster if...

I get what you're saying Rachel and you're right sugar is sugar, splenda is the closest thing that I can get without using REAL sugar. They even have a "baking" splenda", though I have yet to try it. Let me know how you like the cookies--I've brought them to work and have yet to find someone...

FYI-- If you find that you don't like stevia, you can try splenda. George Stella and a lot of the low carb cookbooks/shows(not that you're going for low carb)use splenda. Here's a peanut butter cookie recipe I got from a website: 1 cup splenda 1 egg 1 cup low fat crunchy jif pb (mix the...

I'm 42 and proud of it. A good portion of the RN's(there's my profession) out there are overweight(sorry girls, but it's true and you know it)-- and even though I'm not a size 2 I'm happy in my own skin with biceps to be proud of--it's a work in progress and I'm enjoying the ride, thanks to...

I can only speak for SB. I did it the first time EXACTLY the way the book says(notice I said "first time"). Got the H/A, lethargy(tough to run the first couple of weeks) and I was irritable at times too. HOWEVER..., NOW I've really stuck to working out 5-6x a week alternating either running...

Just an FYI-- Your timing chip on your shoe starts timing you once you step on the pad as you go across the starting line--you will have 2 times when you get your results--"chip time" and "gun time"(or whatever they call it--when they actually start the race with a gun or cannon or whatever...

RE: COOL!! I'm going there after work--thanks a bunch!! Mary:-)

RE: Yep, I sure do have a Costco that's not to far from where I work. Do they have more than one kind??(just want to make sure I get the one you're talking about) Thanks! Mary

Sorry, this is off the subject, but I'm interested in the plan that you've used to have such a great success in your weight loss. I'm cutting out the processed stuff and along the lines of South Beach w/o being a true SB-just trying to eat healthier. Any advice?? Thanks! Mary Formerly...

RE: I'm new to S. Florida so unless someone else from the Palm Beach area of Florida can answer that, nope, we don't have one. I went to Williams Sonoma and they helped me-the employee happened to be from Oregon, and for such a an eclectic place I could find what I needed back in N. Florida...

RE: Thank you SO much!! I just got off the phone from a "gourmet" store who said "they're all the same" to which I said, "so an aged balsamic vinegar is the same as a 5 dollar one" to which he said, "yes"--SCARY!!!!! You can bet I won't be doing any shopping there!! I learn something new...

They say on food tv not to buy it in a grocery store(instead in a more specialty store type, like Williams Sonoma??), that they are not "true" balsamic vinegar, that "real" vinegar is aged. There are SO many different kinds and I just want to buy a medium priced(as you can REALLY spend a lot of...

Isn't it exciting!!! It makes it seem so real!! I forgot to tell you about the goodies! It really gets you psyched for sunday!!! And don't forget one of my famous sayings--"Don't judge a book by it's cover", i.e., thinner people do not always mean faster people, it can be intimidating...

I can honestly say that there is so much to see while you're out on the course that you'll be at the half way point and not realize that you're 1/2 way done!! The people that cheer you on are such an inspiration, it's amazing!! When you line up it can be a bit overwhelming--the THOUSANDS of...
