    Recommendation for a good tinted moisturizer?

    I used to be an Avon rep, and I started using Mark tinted moisturizer a couple of years ago. (Mark is a division of Avon.) I love it, and it's cheap ($9). When I want a little extra makeup when I'm going out, I just put a little mineral makeup on top of it and it looks very natural and not...

    Is there a exercise you just don't do?

    I super hate leg presses. Hate them with a purple passion. I used to skip them, but I feel bad now, so I do them. Still hate them. :confused: I also sometimes have to take a break during major jump sequences. Me+giving birth to 3 kids= little bladder control. :o That's why I love the new LIS! :)

    A good substitute for running

    I think any steady-state cardio would work. I typically choose a kickbox (kickmax or Kick punch & crunch) on those days I don't want to run but want to get a good steady state workout.

    Coconut Oil

    Oh, I think what I wrote was misleading. I don't eat 2Tbsp in one sitting/at a time. Noooo... I use a teaspoon here and there during the day... All equaling up to about 2 tbsp total for the day. Do you think that's too much? I thought the recommended "dosage" was 3 tbsp for optimal effects.

    Coconut Oil

    Hey guys, Question: I love coconut oil, and I scramble my eggs in it and I eat it throughout the day... (Not usually exceeding 2 Tbsp). However, on myfitnesspal, I've been exceeding my fat allotment for the days while doing this, but I have been staying within my calorie allotment. What do you...

    Pics of your workout space

    JeanneMarie-I have workout room envy. That's awesome!!!! My workout room is my bedroom with my weights/steps piled up in a corner. Not optimal. Yall's workout rooms are great! I'd work out all the time if I had that! :)

    brazil buttlift

    I have this set. I got it when it first came out, and I swear it made my butt bigger! :eek: I shelved it after that. I may get it out in the spring and see if I have different results. It's fun, but in my opinion, it's not nearly as effective (obviously since my butt got bigger) as Cathe's Butts...

    Oh Turbo Barre!!

    Hey Nancy, I like the split sole, canvas type. They allow you to feel the floor better, IMO. My new ones that I love are Bloch Pro Elastic: Women‘s “Pro Elastic“ Ballet Slipper - Style #S0621L at Discount Dance Supply They have elastic all around them, so you don't have to mess with the...

    HELP!

    Fit44-- Thanks for sharing the link. I'll check it out! As for giving up grains, I don't think I could do that. I love my Ezekiel bread and quinoa! (Though, I think technically quinoa is a seed, so maybe I could... hmm...) I read in Oxygen Magazine last month that Tosca gave up all grains except...

    HELP!

    So I'm doing a Biggest Loser type of competition with some friends of mine in a fitness group I'm in on Facebook, and Cathe is going to be my secret weapon. (I want to lose 20 pounds.) I have not worked out, shamefully, since before the holidays, but I am an avid Cathelete... So, any advice for...

    I've discovered Nutella!

    I *heart* nutella. I literally cannot keep it in the house. I will take a spoon to it and eat it like pudding. It's shameful, but true. It's my crack. :o

    3 days only

    If I were you, I'd try doing the 4 Day Split workouts. You can probably find a premix to fit your time constraints, and you would be doing a mix of cardio and weights each workout, but working different body parts. HTH! You're doing better than I am on workouts. With the holidays, I have had...

    Anyone heard of the Paleo Diet?

    This intrigues me. I have a friend who also LOVES the Paleo diet, but I haven't read up on it. I'm 99 percent vegetarian, though I do eat fish from time to time (maybe twice a month or so). Do you think this diet is doable if you are a vegetarian or mostly vegetarian? I suppose I could just up...

    Help.

    Cathe-Would subbing the low-intensity workouts for the cardio days in the rotation you designed above work with the gym styles? I love gym styles, and I think that a rotation with them and the new series would be so fun! I also need to shed some recent weight. Stupid holiday food! :o PS I...

    fad diets & weight loss gimmicks: do you jump on the bandwagon?

    Do you eat rice and quinoa or anything like that? Or do you just avoid wheat and other grains? Was it hard at first? You said you eat mainly fruits and veggies. Are you a vegetarian? (I'm a mostly vegetarian/pescavore.) I am in awe of anyone who can give up grains. I think I would go into major...

    LIS Athletic Training DVD glitch

    Let us know if they offer replacements. I'm not a complainer usually. I adore the series, but it cost too much to have to live with defects. :(
