I have been eating clean since Dec using Tosca Reno's books. I have had a lot of success but I was out of town for a long weekend and then in Miami for work and I got off track. I decided to recommit yesterday and I pulled out my copy of BFFM. It had a lot of great points but it also had me...

I am currently doing splits for lifting 3 or 4 days a week and cardio 2 or 3 days a week. I use GS, Pyramids, Slow and Heavy and the new 4DS. I alternate each week between them so I am never doing the same series two weeks in a row. My question is this: Should I stick with a series for a...

I received a HRM for my birthday but it doesn't give the calories burned. How do I determine how many calories I am burning in one hour? Is there a chart I can use with my HRM?

I love GS and Pyramids but I was looking to get something new just for variety and Cathe uses S&H in her Feb 08 rotation so I was considering purchasing this DVD. What do you guys think of S&H? I have heard that the slow pace bothers some but I am really getting into lifting and doing less...

Awhile back someone asked about putting your forearm on your leg instead of your hand above your knee. I never saw the response. I feel more comfortable with my forearm on my leg. Is this OK?

I like the taste of it but make sure you rinse it really good before cooking or it can be bitter. I have it today with a bunch of veggies cut up in it and a little low sodium soy sauce. Yum! Vicky

I love your response and it sure makes me feel better. As I was buying each supplement I did ask the GNC rep and the pharmacists and they said it should be fine. I don't want to waste money or mix the wrong things. I was considering the L-carnintine - do you think it is worth it? I...

Karen- I can tell you feel my pain. I don't have any really embarrassing stories but my boss picks on me for my herpes when I get one. It gets old. He is trying to be funny but it is not. I also hate not being able to kiss my husband. We are pretty physical and it sure puts a damper on...

Thanks for the quick answer. Yes, you did help me. I can always tell when I am going to get one by my stress level and lack of sleep so I will take three during those time and reduce to one on a daily basis once this one is gone.

Hi everyone! Still eating clean and I am down 14 lbs and 8 inches. It has only been 7 weeks. I still want to loose another 36 lbs but I am encouraged that I can loose ALL the weight this time and keep it off. Do any of you take vitamins and supplements? I take the following: Vitamin B...

No insurance coverage here either. It will cost me $3050 but I have $1500 in my flex plan at work and they have a finance program for 0% for 18 months for the other $1550. It depends on your prescription. It is cheaper if your eyes aren't as bad. My eyes are -5.00 and -4.75. Everyone I...

I asked about cold sores a few days ago. Thanks for your responses. I went with the Lysine cream and pills. My immune system is a little shot with winter and kids in school etc. Does anyone take the Lysine pills? If so, do I continue to take them everyday forever to prevent any more...

Has anyone here had it done? Are you happy with the results? I go tomorrow for a consultation and I am excited. I have worn glasses/contacts since 4th grade. Can you exercise soon after or do you have to wait for a few weeks?

I am still laughing about the birth control from cold sores. Too funny. I went to the whole foods store here and got some lysine. I didn't want to go to the dr for a cold sore. I will see how this works and if it doesn't I will go in next time. I got the cream and the pills. Does anyone...
