    Buying a home (VA loan)

    Hi It sounds like you need a new lender! VA loans are typically .5% lower than conventional loans. They do, however, charge a funding fee which varies depending on whether you have used the benefit before. Right now a 15 year mortgage is 2.5%!! For VA loans, you don't have a choice of...

    Oh man! I can't believe this!!!!

    I'd simply get a TSH to see if the soy is truly affecting your thyroid function. There has been a lot of misinformation surrounding soy lately. It is a staple in Asian countries and their rate of hypothroidism is actually far lower than in the US (same is true for breast cancer). I am not...

    Can I VENT please?!?!?!?!

    Wow - I don't quite know what to say here. I am sorry some of you have to deal with an unsupportive SO. Personally, I can't imagine living with someone who was verbally abusive or desparately jealous and needy. Perhaps a counsellor or marriagebuilders.com may have some advice. ETA: I...

    Organized people: How do you do it all?

    I don't post here much, but here's what I do to (try!) keep it together. I work 50 hours a week and am now a single mother of a four year old. I get up at 0415 for coffee and my own quiet time. I start my workout by 0500 and finish by 0615. That takes care of my private workout time. I do...

    SSRI's and weight gain

    There is data that suggests SSRI's interfere with peripheral T4 utilization. The result is that you can be hypothyroid!

    Tracie will be leading both new workouts! They are filming early next week (first week of March)! Bonnie, Jeanne Ann, and Cindy are her cast for both as well. I have the 3 TLPs on vhs and I have to tell you, these are fabulous! I have used them for about 2 weeks (I was one of the...

    Weight Watchers or The Zone

    All diets whether they are zone, atkins or WW all limit calories one way or another. You just have to pick a program that works for you. I try to stay away from processed food and whie sugar because I just end up over eating with those foods. I keep track on fit day and my carbs are about...

    Okay~not fair guys!.....

    Donna, I am so sorry that happened to you (the email, not the flowers!). I am still sitting here with my mouth opened wondering how people can sometimes be so cruel and stupid based on a persons color. I hope you enjoy the flowers and find some way to feel better. Jeannie

    fitprime-new fav move

    That review was from Newsweek. There's no more sisterhood in the new firms than there is in the intensity series! I don't think Jen's tape is all that tough but I do like Emily's and Allie's tapes. I think Fitprimes From the Ground Up, Strong Bear and Up and Down are tough. I use the same...

    New Video Clarification

    Cathe I loved Muscle endurance, and the pyramids! 1)I'd love to see total body heavier weight work 60-70 min in length. 2)I am awful at complicated step, so your intro tape sounds great. 3)I need more upper body, so an upper body focused tape would be great!! 4)Background excersizers who...

    Confessions of a FirmBeliever

    I just had to say that I have been using the FIRM for 13 years and FP since Weights First came out, and I got Cathe's Intensity series on DVD almost as a lark. I avoided them for a while thinking they wouldn't be much fun, even if they were effective. Well, I was so wrong. This series is...
