Nancy--Congras! We would love to have you join us in Colorado. It is a great place to live. Pam

I had a trigger thumb and physical therapy has completely healed it. I had therapy in May and no problems since probably June. When sitting at a stoplight or on the phone, I try to remember to do the thumb exercises as preventation. I started doing weights in August and still never a problem...

Mine is sitting on a concrete floor but it has no wobble there and like Kathryn's it is easy to get the weights on and off. It had great reviews on Amazon, price and size is why I bought it.

I just purchased this one and I am happy with it. I doesn't take much room in the small closet where I store most of my exercise stuff and this one holds all my dumbbells. The price was only $34.77 (and free shipping) from Amazon. Marcy DBR 56 Dumbbell Rack...

Doesn't sound vain to me. I have similar thoughts--my mother's paintings, special things from my Dad and Grandparents, and ???. I am making a list, as I can be faster and not forget something important. Our forest are past due for forest fires (which naturally occur) and with global...

Pam-Thanks for the website. Their list has some good suggestions. I am going tonight customize for my situation, from their list and the one from my fire dept (has some different useful ideas) and prioritize, with lists, depending on how much time I think I have to prepare. Than it is going...

Thanks for the reminder. I live about 10 miles from the large 4 Mile Fire that occurred last Fall. I am upwind, so I was never in danger, but it did start me seriously thinking about what would I take if I had 15 minutes to get out of my house, that almost certainly was going to burn. I...

I would be glad to discuss Colorado options with you. We moved here when I was about 10, so really can't compare it to the previous area. I lived (and went to college) in Boulder for many years and recently have moved to the mountains west of Boulder/Denver. Hospitals would be about an hour...

Thanks Farah for telling us about this. I am in! I have been good about exercising lately but know my body need the stretching and stress reduction of yoga. I had to euthanize my dog this weekend and I think yoga will help in the grief progress, too. I am being given a new TV and DVD...

Dawn--Thanks for your suggestion. It has worked the past 3 nights. When I came in after doing physical projects outside, didn't immediately hit the sofa with a snack but instead call back a friend, read emails, did errands. Anything but go near the sofa or the kitchen. 30 minutes later I can...

I did well yesterday. The big bag of yummy animal cookies are sitting on the counter and I never opened the bag. The old habits would have had me having some frequently throughout the day (I work from home). Did have 2 healthy snacks-I had planned to only have one. The night before I had...

Making meals from scratch is process that has become part of my life and I couldn’t go back to buying mixes or readymade. I like having control over what goes in my food, plus all the other usual reasons. I have been during so most of my adult life, so get use to the time I spent doing so...

Just tried on my target goal pair of jeans. Yuck, I can’t even pulled them up. A month ago I could at least do that. Well, got further to go than I had thought. I found when I lost 50# about a year ago, one pant size equaled about 10-15 #. I am counting calories too on MyPlate webste. The...

Big thanks to everyone that has written in this forum. I lost about 50# (gained due to the stress of moving 3 times and building a house) last fall and the past few months have started gaining it back. Up at least one size of pants. It doesn't help that the new boyfriend brings over Ben...

I am hoping I can still be a part of this, as I really need the push, but I am not going to follow the “rules” exactly. I am not going for the money prize, but the best prize for me the weight loss. ;=)) The best feedback for me is not the scale, but how the nx smaller pair of pants fit...

Me Too I lost weight and was down to my desired weight last winter and have been gaining it back. I have not wanted to weight myself, but I can't fit into the pants that I was wearing last winter :( I think this contest would help kick me in the but to lose the weight and work on again the...
