    when healthy became unhealthy

    There is no rational reason to lose those last "5-10 pounds" if it makes you crazy in the process. People don't even notice. You're not going to look like Halle Berry or Angelina Jolie when you get down to your "perfect" weight. You'll just look like you, with your head on top of a lollipop...

    Mass. Voters

    I am a big supporter of universal healthcare. I am also self-employed, and cannot afford health insurance. I live in Massachusetts, but the cut-off for the Massachusetts state health plan is 3x poverty level, and I earn slightly more. I did not vote for Coakley, because I don't support the...

    MMA Boxing Question

    Insanity? That's interesting what you said about Insanity not being upper body focussed, Morningstar. I had gotten the impression from clips I've seen that there were a million push-ups in that series. Can you explain this a little more? Thanks.

    MMA Boxing Question

    Hi Everyone, I've been a lurker here for some time. I'd say I'm a high-intermediate/low advanced exerciser. My favorite dvds are Cathe (B & G, KPC, L & G, Gym Series, BC/ME), Amy's Slo-Mo, Jari Love, and the Squeezes. In general, I love strength training and yoga (Shiva Rea, Erich, and...
