Does anyone have any medical weight loss program recommendations? Non-surgical is preferred? Something the is medically supervised and includes counseling would be ideal. Also, something covered by insurance would be great. Thanks in advance.

is anyone in here a runner? i'm both new to austin and new to running, and have recently discovered the wonderfulness of the town lake trail. it gets a bit lonely running there by myself, and i'd love to join up with some people to do it together. that is, if anyone besides myself is insane enough to wake up early saturday morning to beat the heat.

Okay....couple of things.

In an effort to be as active as possible, I'm going to be doing a ton of activities. I would invite some of you all to attend, if you're interested.

I love playing racquetball. I have a membership at the Y, so you wouldnt have to have one. I live way south (Convict Hill area) so I go to the one on 290, and if you're south, Id totally be interested in playing.

Summer is com ing up, which means volleyball. Aussie's and Zilker. Anyone up for some sand ball?

I also want to try and get into crew rowing this summer. Anyone interested or know anything about that?

Bikes.....not for me...people in this town drive like idiots with no regard for their surroundings (I'm one of them) ....so thats not the way I wanna exit this world.

Anyone able to recommend a personal trainer that wont drain my checking account?
My apartment has a decent fitness facility...so I am hoping to not have to join a club of any sort...but I am open.
I am looking for someone who is not only physical but spiritual. I have plenty of time now, and more than enough determination. I used to play hockey and soccer and was in aikido...so I have a fitness background.

Arigato in advance.

This is for people on Atkins diet....

I just read a post where the news channel did an expose on Subway, and analyzed their chicken bacon wrap.

It was discovered that it had 18 net carbs instead of 8.

So if you eat at Subway, be wary of this. I'm pretty sure someone soon, or Subway itself, will have its products put up for test to see if what they advertise is what it holds...
