    For those of you working each body part one day per week

    Once a week is enough for me, but I'm an ecto working with super heavy weight in the gym. When I was doing only Cathe weight workouts, I used to work legs twice a week.

    Who makes funny faces when you lift?

    >I think maybe a better subject is, who DOESN'T make faces >when you lift? Agreed. If you're lifting heavy, you're gonna make some kind of face... mine's usually a grimace. Noise-wise, I make some puffing, whooshing noises with breathing, but I usually don't make the grunts and groans the...

    change user name

    I have the same problem. I'm divorced now and would like a user name that doesn't include my former last name, but when I tried to set up a new account, it gave me an error message saying my email address I supplied was already in use. x(

    Just nosey: how high of a heel do you normally wear?

    We dress casually where I work - thank goodness - so during the week it's flat sandals in the summer, clogs, slides and boots in the winter. But for dressy and special occasions, I've recently discovered a fetish for very high heels, including some platforms. My Mom, who's shorter than I am...

    How do I motivate DH to lose weight?

    Looks like a lot of us are in the same boat. Oddly enough, when I first met the guy I'm dating, I immediately thought "no way, not my type at all"... mainly because he was overweight. But the more I got to know him, the more I liked him. He is the kindest, most caring guy I've ever met and now...

    IBS anyone?

    I'm coming into this discussion pretty late because I don't visit the forum as often as I used to. I was diagnosed with IBS in college. My diet was terrible - lots of sugar and chocolate - and I was totally stressed out about classwork and grades... classic type A personality. I struggled...

    Pull up question for you X'ers

    Hey Briee, Nice to see one of the old ectochicks still around! Like others have said, I take off all rings and use padded leather-palmed gloves. No problems with callouses. Still having trouble doing pull ups unassisted, though! Yikes! I've been falling down on my workouts lately due to...

    Weight training - How much is too much?

    Unless you're really new to working out with weights, I think the ones you mention are light enough to be used on a daily basis.

    Anyone had a D & C?

    Well, that doesn't sound too bad. Thanks, everyone. Valium? I was SO nervous before my knee surgery, so they gave me a valium. After that, they could have told me they were planning to cut my leg off and I would have smiled and told them it sounded like a great idea!

    OT/ Self Tanners?

    I haven't tried it. This summer, I've used Bain de Soleil and L'Oreal's Sublime. Have you tried asking about Fake Bake on the Sunless.com forum?

    I bet I could look like Cathe!!!

    Aww, heck, Briee... I've had visible veins on my forearms and backs of my hands forever. Ectochicks come by those naturally, don't they? ;-) As for food cravings, I've had to give up a lot of stuff due to health problems. For me, it helped if I could first find a healthier alternative. Then...
