Collagen works for me. I have started using Neocell (from Amazon-free shipping) and my painful knees got relief in a very short time (10 days or so). I then took it for about a month. I know I don't post often, but had to put my two cents in here. It couldn't hurt to try a bottle if your...

Thank you dixiegirl! She is holding her own for now. I think they are ahead of the pneumonia (the other lung had some pus ick..) They had to give her sedatives to calm her down some. It's been almost six weeks in ICU so far. I hope the worst is over.... :/

My absolute favorite.... Black and Bleu raspberry chicken salad: My favorite microbrewery has this on their menu and I don't go out very often. It was so easy to copy and soooooo delicious! Mixed greens 1oz sliced toasted almonds 1 oz bleu cheese 12 or so mandarin orange slices small...

Still good! Just an update...... Modern medicine is just so amazing (as well as the power of prayers!) Maura was circling the drain literally :( For almost two weeks NO lungs came in at all. Then some came in and didn't match. Then the storm hit. Then one lung collapsed, causing dependency...

Thank you all for the prayers.. She is in surgery right now getting a new set of lungs!............... Nervously keeping my fingers crossed. Will let you all know :)

Thank you all for the kind words.... We are surely running out of time. One of her lungs collapsed early this morning and she is fighting with all of her strenght. :( :( :( This bad weather is making me nervous as well. Not good timing. Arggghhhh!

Oh my God I was just about to do this for myself! I am so glad I saw this thread LOL! Saved me tons of time. THANK YOU ANNA!

Thank you all.... for the prayers and kind words. I will keep you posted on the progress. I truly believe that prayers do help! You are wonderful for including her (Maura-sorry left that out before--too used to internet caution) in your prayers. <3

A family member of mine (32 years old) is now in the hospital waiting for a double lung transplant. She has cystic fibrosis and has succumbed to its horrible effects. She needs to be on a machine to help her breathe as the lungs are pretty much done now. She has beautiful 4 year old twins and...

Oh man I had just one pair of those for a long while and somehow I just lost one! They are awesome!

The tubes are comfy and great to walk/run around in. I made the mistake of thinking I could use them for step because they do feel good on the impact. I figured out the hard way that I have rolling issues!!! Under pronation I think? My ankle wants to roll outward. I have to stick to cross...

I never thought of that...duh me. Do you just use an ace bandage or is that too much?

Thanks..BooBear=Best Dog I ever had (Bailey was her real name actually) She passed away several years ago and I still tear up now and then :( As far as the FFW...thanks for the response I can't wait to order me some!!!!!

I just got a bunch of powersox by gold toe and my feet are thanking me. It was a little splurge (8 pair $16! yuck!) but soooooooo worth it IMO. They have extra cusioning at the heel and ball of my feet-and I have high arches. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sorry if I sound like a commercial but it's easy to...

You know that game about making a list of 5 or 10 foods you can bring if you were stranded on a desert island? Avocados are on mine!!!!!!!! i am like Samantha12, I can just eat them as is-they are one of natures most perfect foods :) I craved them something terrible in my second pregnancy so...

Sorry...that just made me laugh as I read that part. :D But I agree with what you are saying. The pressure put on us to be the perfect woman who is rail thin with Hustler sized hooters is ridiculous. Women seem to be wired to look at other women and mentally compare ourselves. With that type...

I would love to see more of the four day/week routines. 4 Day split is awesome! The set, the music, the routines, the fact that I choose two of my own cardio segments to fill out my 6 day a week schedule and keep boredom at bay...... It's just perfect!

You have my prayers too. I will even loan you my guardian angel :) I have been through divorce and tried to take the high road and be truthful and honest but he decided to be slimy. I hope it comes to a peaceful end for you and DS.

Fun thread! By now a lot of mine have been named- campfire, puppy breath (glad I wasn't the only one haha), coffee, baking bread, pine trees, cilantro and lime together, swimming pool water....I could go on :) But I didn't see one that is appropriate for this month- I am not a huge candy eater...

Oh my! I could have written this EXACT post.... Some days I just think-I guess I am just destined to be this weight or this must be what it's like for me to get old. >:( But I don't give up. Ever. I too have the carb addiction....and I have broken the cycle in the past and felt phenomenal. I...
