    Info on gaining unwanted inches of muscle on thight is this normal?

    Linda, Thanks for the reply. So PS for 6 weeks huh? How many times, just once per week? I usually do SH once per week for legs and then do my own rotation of heavy lifting on my gym. Over the past month though, the only rotation going on around here is strep throat. Im on my second bout of it...

    Skincare recommendations?

    I have tried every single cleansing product on the market. And for my same skin (combo w/ tight flaky feeling during winter), I have always gone back to Cetaphil cleanser. It's about 8 bucks and is the absolute best and most recommended by every magazine I've read. It takes off eye makeup as...

    who here owns a bun and thigh rocker? results?

    This machine sounds amazing. I am looking to "build up" my rather, hate to say this, skinny legs. Will this be a good investment, or is it only for someone who is trying to "slim down" the leg area???????? Thanks in advance, GN

    A Good mascara......

    Lancome is IMO, a "hot" mascara. When I go out, it is the one I choose. It has more intensity than the E. Arden, but for everyday, I like Arden's because it seems to just apply "easier" and stay put. Question for lancome users of definicils:?? Have they changed the brush in recent years. I...

    A Good mascara......

    I've tried every mascara (as we all have) and found Elizabeth Arden's to be the best. I was a Lancome Definicils fan for a long time, and think this is even better! GN

    Will I Allow Myself to be Thin?

    Jennifer Ann, Sounds like the reason you went for the ice cream, etc is because youre rewarding yourself for reaching your first goal. And that is how it's supposed to be! Whenever I reach "any " pittens of a goal I strive for, I always subconsiously reward myself because there is such a sense...

    Put on the muscle?

    RE: Anyone out there a total Endo like myself??? Jilliana. The fact that you cant get your body to start off where it left off was because it was stronger ........that is a great feeling......it means YOU actually made your body stronger. Gives great incentive to work it back there! If you...

    cardio or weights??

    Connie, I guess those mothers that insist on wearing those bikini's are also the same ones that are the first ones to wear shorts in April when it's only 65 degrees out and theyre stark white! LOL Working abs steadily??? Is that everyday? Youre right about the cardio for the benefits other...

    cardio or weights??

    Janice and Connie, Thanks for the info. But are you both saying I have to still do cardio for the tummy? Or will the weight training help that? Im 5'6" at 116. The ONLY place I want to lose weight is the tummy. Everywhere else...........bigger is welcome! That's why Im afraid of cardio. I...

    cardio or weights??

    Connie, I have a quick question, that may possibly help this post too. Will weight training (especially of the lower body) just once or twice a week help with the fat loss as well or just the strength part. My hubbie tells me that lower body weight training will also help me metabolize the...

    Put on the muscle?

    RE: Anyone out there a total Endo like myself??? Jilliana, It's so tempting to want to dive right into the "intense" videos I guess thinking or hoping if we push ourselves harder, results will show quicker. As we all know (deep inside) this usually only makes us get frustrated, lose momentum...
