    sugar free chocolate chips?

    Delphene, I am not sure what local grocery stores carry it in your area. I know the ones where I am have slowly stopped selling them. I know this won't help you with this batch but maybe the next. I order mine now from perfectlysweet.com. You can also check the health food stores to see...

    Organic Skincare?

    I don't think there is such a thing as "organic" skincare. It's more of a marketing ploy than anything else. It is virtually impossible to make a 100% organic product that is shelf stable. I usually just try to find products that use mostly natural ingredients. I'm using Ilike by szep elet...

    Different Steps

    If you don't mind used equipment, you may want to check Craigslist or Ebay. I got my club step w/ 8 risers from Craigslist for $40. Tracey "Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda "Where there's a will, there's a way."

    fitness mags

    Ditto Musle & Fitness Hers for me too. It's the only one I can read regularly. Most of the others tend to have a fashion/beauty focus as well and I really just want a magazine about exercise. Oxygen was OK but I really disliked all the ads so I couldn't stick with that one either.

    Beginning (again) Question??

    Hi Melanie, It sounds like you've had a really difficult year! I'm glad you and the baby are OK. I'm not sure that High Step Circuit (or the Wedding Workout for that matter) is a beginner workout but if you feel up to it, go for it. The Wedding workout is 2 workouts- 1 step cardio and 1...

    flavored stevia - taste?

    I tend to prefer liquid Stevia since it has less of a bitter taste. I do use the Sweetleaf brand liquid drops and can only attest to the regular, vanilla creme, and chocolate raspberry flavors. The vanilla creme is my favorite of the three. A true vanilla flavor...even in coffee. The...

    which DVD's make you smile/laugh

    The segment in KPC where she talks about taking it easy during the warmup. Then she says "Enjoy it now while it lasts. Just kidding." That always cracks me up because we all know she is not kidding.

    cathe to firm

    If you get the newer Firms, they definitely aren't as challenging. The only Firms I have that I still enjoy are the classics...Volumes 1 to 6 and their compilations. They do not compare to Cathe in intensity but they are still challenging and enjoyable. They're a blast from the past...

    Do you have to do rotations?

    I'm discovering that I'm really not a rotation person either. I've started the August 2004 rotation after reading that thread but find myself dreading my workouts and it's only my first week x(. I am going to try to stick with it though. I much prefer choosing my work outs on the fly or...

    Has anyone read this?

    Hi Kim, No, I haven't read this book. I am familiar with the Glycemic Index though. It's just like any other plan really... if you work it, it works. If you have a sweet tooth though, the Glycemic Index probably is not the best way to go for you. You'll have to give up the sweets since...

    core work thickens waist?

    Personally, I think that abs have become a major focus for us as a society. I remember years ago I barely looked at my abs much less worked on them when I exercised. Now, I stand in the mirror and obsess. I just think abs are really big now. They're all over the magazines and TV so, people...

    What is your formula for success?

    I'm trying to keep my diet and exercise simple and doable. My diet is basically high protein/fat and controlled healthy carbs. I try to model my meals after the Schwarzbein meal plans. So most of my meals include 15 to 30 carbs and I have two snacks a day that include about 7 carbs. Carbs...

    So, I've been noticing

    Hi Gabrielle, I have these days too. Today is a feeling fat day :D. The first thing I do every morning is look at my stomach to see if it looks fairly flat or if it looks a little bloated. It's usually a good indicator of what the scale will say too. I don't have a problem with...
