    Please report your GoWear Fit results!!!

    I've had mine for < 6 weeks now. It has definitely made me more aware of my activity (there were some surprises) and motivated me to move more. Using this in addition to increasing my calories has helped the scale move for the first time in a very long time. I also had a vacation in the...

    Sunday Morning Fun: Movies You Blush to Love!

    I really like this one too. So much I own it and I own very, very few :o I like most Drew Barrymore movies. I like a lot that have already been mentioned (Sixteen Candles, Say Anything) and just about any musical every made. I really don't care if people look at me strange as I sing along to...

    Doctors say obesity isn't a disability

    Just wanted to comment on this thought. As one that has worked out for many, many years and eats clean, I still have to struggle to even maintain my weight. I've done tons of research, journal my food (minimal processed foods -mostly raw- vegan) and workout 6 days a week (weights and cardio)...

    Remedies/products for super dry hair?

    I have curly, coarse hair as well. It got worse after menopause. I only wash my hair every 2-3 days. I've tried Ojon (with some success but my son complains about the smell.) and sulfite/sulfate/paraben free shampoo. What seems to help the most is I changed to Carol's Daughter shampoo (tui I...

    Clean Eating Magazine - Opinions

    I go back and forth on this. I like the magazine and it inspires me. But I have to tweak almost everything. There was a recipe in the most recent issue for a raw vegan non-bean hummus like dip. But that's rare. Hopefully there will be more in the future. I've yet to subscribe because of...

    Wii peoples...can you help me?

    I bought it for Rock Band and Guitar Hero :cool: It's the only game system I've ever owned (not counting computer stuff). It can be frustrating and fun all at the same time. I really don't have a lot of games. A few sports ones (like the boxing ones) and the music stuff. I've ordered...

    Question about a Non-Cathe DVD (which I haven't bought in a looooong time)

    I haven't seen the other thread(s) but I have the series. It's not a favorite. Probably because I find Tony to be irritating. There are some good exercises. (LOTS of pushups, pullups, chinups, etc) Just not a 'connection' for me. I much prefer Cathe.

    Think I'm going to sell my GWF...

    Definitely sounds like a defect. Bummer :( I always thought I was moderately active away from my desk. Turns out - not as much as I thought. I WAS surprised by how active I was on the weekend. All those stores and chores adds up. At least for moderate activity. I really have to work to...

    Think I'm going to sell my GWF...

    I've had mine for just a couple of weeks. Lately I'm only charging it every few days. It takes about 15 minutes to 'go green'. Did you notice this recently? I would definitely contact the company. Re: charging away from a computer I'm planning a vacation away from a computer soon so I...

    Daily Plate users -help!

    Look how great you've done! Congratulations!! And I can soooooo relate. I was also about that at my max (I refused to go near a scale so it's anyone's guess). Got down and did the up/down same as you. Then I had an injury and hit menopause. BLAM! On came the pounds. And they REFUSE to...

    Does anyone have a Jack LaLanne Juicer?

    I don't have that brand but I think it's the centrifugal kind. (I did my research into juicers awhile ago and have slept since then. lol). I ended up buying a Breville which is also a centrifugal kind. It worked just fine for me. Plus I could buy it at Bed Bath and Beyond and use my 20%...

    Daily Plate users -help!

    I agree with the plateau. Hate them though :mad: If your BMR is 1650 and you're eating about 100 above that it sounds like you're doing well. (Don't forget to recalculate as you lose weight) A couple of thoughts - Type of calories. How clean is mostly clean? For me this is an absolute...

    GWF price down at Amazon (at the moment)

    Well that would have been an extra $20 in my pocket. But it was worthing having it instead of waiting. LOVE IT! :cool:

    Anyone use Alli? (Melanie the pharmacist... need your thoughts too!)

    Glad the RMR/BMR info was helpful. I know it was very useful for me. My personal learning moments - It was hard to INCREASE my calories as it went against my gut instinct. But it worked. Understanding my minimum was key. - Do track your food until you understand exactly what you are...

    More makeup or less?

    I actually wear more than I did when I was younger. Then I wore lipstick and mascara. Now I wear mascara, eyebrow stuff, hint of highlighter (phot op or makeup forever) and lipstick. I have too many freckles/spots to cover with out a mask so I just forgo any foundation and just wear a...

    4DS After STS

    I love the 4DS set. I've been using the cardio premixes with STS. My least favorite is HIS because I am a total klutz. And her choreography is tough. Fun but tough. I find myself using my baby step with that one because I'm afraid I'll trip or fall off my higher ones. :o I'll probably...
