    Pain/weird sensation BEHIND right knee

    It could be a Baker's Cyst (Google it for more info). I have had a minor pain behind my right knee off and on for years. When it occurred, it was typically only when I was doing lunges or step ups (or just simply going up stairs). I had an ultrasound to rule out anything serious. My doctor...

    Yikes heart rate 165 for 41 YO female?

    It could be 165 but that's not necessarily bad. I have read in several places that the heart rate "ranges" that are posted everywhere are applicable only to a segment of the population. It was kind of like the old statistic about women being more likely to be killed by a terrorist than get...

    Any Pittsburghers out there?

    I live in the South Hills and I'm new to the area. I am 44 years old and I would love to meet some new friends interested in improving fitness, general self-improvement, and coffee. Thanks! :-)

    Anyone live in the South Hills of Pittsburgh area?

    My husband and I just moved to Pittsburgh a few months ago; we moved to our house in Upper St. Clair in July. I know no one in town AND I have only worked out a handful of times since February. I need to get back on the ball. I am fresh out of excuses. Would love to find a local...

    Cathe Cardio DVDs with No Equipment?

    Good idea about the step with no step - but all of my stuff is in storage, including my DVDs! I may have to buy KPC or one of the others during the interim. (We just moved to a new state and we are shopping for a house.)

    I'm stuck in an apartment temporarily with none of my workout gear (step, weights, stability ball, etc.) Which Cathe Cardio workouts don't require ANY equipment? What would you recommend? Thanks all!

    Thanks to all of you who helped me out several weeks ago when I posted about my husband's job interview in Pittsburgh! :-) We're going back in a couple of weeks for a second round of talks for DH, a tour with a realtor, and possibly an informational interview for me at PNC Bank. (I'm in...

    DH has an interview in Pittsburgh - need advice!

    Thank you everyone! We'll see how it goes next week, then I might PM those of you who have offered to give me more information. I am jumping the gun a bit, but I am an obsessive planner. By the way, I am a transplant to Charlotte from the Midwest, so I know all about snow and cold. I've...

    Jack Lalanne Juicer

    Does anyone here have this juicer? I saw an infomercial and it seems sturdy and easy to use. You can get them at Costco or Target for $99 - a lot less than a Vita Mix! It is hard for me to eat lots of vegetables and I am thinking juicing might help. Thanks!

    Eat to Live motivation!!!

    Carole, How do you do it? Clean eating is the hardest thing, and ETL is the ultimate clean eating. Very difficult for me, 'though I love the concept. Were you always a big veggie lover? I'm not crazy about veggies - I mean I really have to make an effort to eat them. Fortunately, it is...

    Best Food/Fitness Log Software, IMHO

    HI Cathy, Unfortunately, I think the answer to your questions is no. I have used it primarily as a food log. The exercise section is general in the sense that you enter the type of exercise (jogging, weightlifting, skiing, biking) and the amount of time spent and it calculates calories...

    Fainting Spell

    Thanks all! You're a big help. I did see my doctor today. She is doing a few blood tests because my potassium was low a few months ago, which seemed to be causing some heart palpitations at that time. She said statistically speaking it is probably nothing, but she is referring me to a...
