I'm a 30E and I've never found an "off the shelf" bra that works for high impact workouts (including Enell). I love Freya for regular bras but I haven't tried their workout bras. Maybe that's the holy grail. The only thing so far that works for me is doubling up. I use the cotton Hanes as a...

I took a class in my graduate program called Exercise Psychology that was pretty much focused on how to motivate people to exercise. What I learned what pretty much in agreement with what everyone else posted - she just isn't ready. However, the texts that we used on the subject suggested...

Do you ever peek at the monitor while you are working out to see if the heart rate looks reasonable? Maybe take your pulse manually and make sure it is similar to what the monitor is saying in case it is actually broken. Mine shows double zeros sometimes because it is old and abused...so it...

Oh my gosh. I was going to make a joke about looking for the "like" button...and then there really was one! Clearly, I am spending way too much time off the boards!

Thanks, everyone. I just wanted to see if there was anything to try before going to the vet. I live in Mexico, so I'm a little more reluctant to take him in. Not that we don't have good vets here, they are just a little less into the animals as family thing (and I'm one of those crazy pet...

Well, I work from home so I am with him most of the time. I haven't noticed him paying any particular attention to the area. One of my cats growing up had skin allergies and used to bit the area around his tail so the fur fell out. In that case, it sometimes bled and you could tell the skin...

I have an 8 year old neutered male and I just noticed that he seems to be losing fur on his lower stomach. It kind of looks like someone shaved him and at first I thought maybe it had always looked like that and I just never noticed, then I saw that the hair loss is more on one side than the...

I read an article the other day about how sometimes having a "good" job stops people from doing things they would really love. The quote was "don't let a good job stop you from having a great life." I hope this is your opportunity to find the perfect thing for you! I've also seen some pretty...

As far as empty calories go, that only matters if that food is taking up calories that you needed to get your daily nutrients. If you get all your vitamins, you can eat whatever you want to fill up the rest of the calories you need. Protein is an excellent choice since it is actually the...

I don't, but I've been really tempted to get one lately. I love the range of motion for ab exercises on an exercise ball, but sometimes it's just not stable enough... and I really don't want to smash my face :) I would like to hear from anyone who makes good use of theirs. I clearly need a...

Corn huskers lotion (which they sell at Walmart) is good for really dry or irritated skin. It's a really weird consistency but it works. I also got a double sided pumice thing on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Pumice-Two-Sided-Ultimate/dp/B000NO58SW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305241900&sr=8-1)...

My husband has trouble falling asleep, I didn't really think that it could be related to his workouts. I will definitely make the tea for him. I love Sleepytime and always keep a box in the house. I hope that doesn't make him have to wake up to use the bathroom though! I'm going to keep track...

That sounds awesome! I did Taekwondo for years. I'm not sure how similar jiu jitsu is, but I definitely got a great workout with TKD. Although we did some pushups and situps, it was mostly a good cardio workout and I did weightlifting on my own. So, you're not really spending extra time with...

I've read that traditional mattresses are supposed to last about 10 years, but I'm sure that depends on the mattress. My in-laws have all latex beds in their house and they are SO comfortable. I'm glad you brought this up as we are just about to buy a new bed as well. We bought an off-brand...

I also use a standing desk but I'm dying to get a treadmill desk (maybe one day...). I alternate between the standing desk and a desk chair with a pedal exerciser on the floor. I don't know why I didn't think of sitting on an exercise ball. I work from home, but I would really think that...

I think a snack helps. I have the same problem and I have hot chocolate (skim milk, cocoa powder, sweetener) which seems to help. I have been trying to cram more calcium in my diet, so that's why I chose that, but I think any healthy snack would do. The juicing sounds awfully good too! I need...

1. Amazon 2. Ann Taylor/AT Loft 3. Old Navy I use the Google Shopping feature a lot to compare prices, but I always end up back on Amazon.

I haven't lived in Italy (which is funny since I'm an Italian citizen) but I did find a full size step at Decathlon in Madrid, Spain when I lived there a few years ago. It's not the traditional one with the square risers. It's gray on top with little black and gray rectangular risers. I have...

We have a Canon Rebel-type camera (bought in Europe so the model is a bit different) and we always used that on vacation, until I saw a friend using the Panasonic Lumix. It takes really great photos and has an amazing optical zoom for a $200 camera. We have this one - Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7A...

I was never talked to about those kinds of things and kind of figured them out on my own or from friends. I'm 30 now and I think I knew pretty much the whole story by the time I was 10 from friends, older cousins and magazines. I did have a friend whose mom was extremely open about sex issues...
