or you can use wrist straps or hooks.

Assuming you are not overeating (from your food list, that appears to be the case - if anything, it doesn't look like enough to me!)... Have you considered that getting larger thighs/glutes may be a POSITIVE result of your strength training? If your legs were stick-skinny, or your rear area was...

same problem.

"is there a cook book for kids? my niece,7 yrs old,loves to bake french toast and pancakes" This one has French toast, and lots of other kid-friendly recipes. For each recipe, there is a kid-version with lots of pictures, and a parent version next to it with more details written if needed. I...

Yes, another vote for KitchenAid. I have a beautiful cobalt blue one that I got 23 years ago and it still works perfectly. You can't say that for many appliances. Mine is the larger kind where the bowl moves up and down, not the smaller one that has the head of the mixer rotate up. I use it 2-3...

If your child is 4, it probably would be good to return the trailer and get a "third wheel" instead. Here is some text from an educational bicycle website (http://www.ibike.org/education/infant.htm): "If you want to have a family outing with a distant destination, as you child outgrows their...

If you have an old or non-supportive saddle, it could be that it needs replacing...however, a good quality seat won't really "look" cushy or padded. The Terry company makes lots of nice seats especially designed for women, or your local bike store will have plenty of options (and should be able...

I think the "fat burning zone" on various cardio machines, HRM's, etc is very misleading. Just because you are burning a higher percentage of fat does not mean you are burning MORE fat. A high percentage of a small number is still a small number. A smaller percentage of a much higher number can...

Yogurt and fruit can be packed the night before. I like plain yogurt with fresh fruit (or frozen works too-it will thaw by the time you eat it). I add a spoonful of ground flax and some vanilla or almond extract too. This can be packed in an insulated container if you don't have a fridge at...

The short answer to your question is the YOGOURMET yogurt maker, definitely my favorite (and I've had two other kinds). -------------------- If you want more details... I posted most of this in another thread... I don't know how to post a link to it, so I just copied it for you (and added a...

Just curious, for those that like protein bars... Why do you use protein bars? Is this a "fill-in" of convenience for crazy, busy days when there is literally is no time to eat regular food, or do you feel it is important/desirable to eat them as part of your normal plan? If so, is it a known...

Vital Choice. Pure wild salmon oil, thus as close to a whole food as you can get. If you subscribe to their e-mail newsletter (or just go to the website and click on "current newsletter), they often have some kind of deal, coupon, or special offer going on. I always wait for that because it is...

Wow, I missed the part where it said "dishwasher safe"! If that's really true, I want one too! (I love kitchen gadgets). I thought metal knives and other sharpened implements (like shredding disks, chopping blades, etc) in general were not supposed to go in the dishwasher (dulls faster...

cleaning? sharpening? I have a similar one (different brand). While the chopping is quick, I stopped using it because it was a real pain to clean. This Slapchop ad says theirs is better because it opens up to clean, but it seems like you still have a zig-zag piece of metal to clean by hand. Can...

Instant oatmeal has three main disadvantages...one, noted by several posters already, is that it typically has excessive sugar added. Another, which was partly mentioned, is the glycemic index (GI)...it is higher compared to other forms of oatmeal, BECAUSE it is chopped up into tiny little...
