    So muscle really doesn't burn that many more calories than fat....

    The article finishes (almost) with: "The more you exercise, the better. The National Weight Control Registry has followed more than 5,000 people who have lost at least 30 pounds and kept it off for more than six years. Their secret? They burn almost 400 calories a day in exercise, mostly by...

    Why cant I run?......

    I can't run either but I LOVE the elipse machine. Have you tried that? It's like running but zero impact.

    Ultimate New York Body Plan

    I just read excerpts from this book & Sound Mind, Sound Body on Amazon.com. After reading the comments from those that have used it & those excerpts I decided to order both of these books. I'm going to try UNYBP and then move on to SMSB for maintenance. I should have the books in a day or...

    How tall is YOUR tall step?

    I'm 5'6" and using 14" KILLS me! I use 12...4 risers (2" each) and the step (4"). The general rule of thumb for using the step is that when you put your foot flat on the top of the step, your knee should have no more bend in it than a 45 degree angle. You should base the height of the...

    Cathe's new studio?!

    I'm not sure if this is the "true" reason Cathe's rates are so reasonable but I would guess that because gyms are a dime a dozen here in South Jersey, she has to remain competitive in her rates. Most of the gyms here run anywhere from $20 to $50 a month--I've been checking for DD.

    Major foot in mouth disease-rant

    Thanks for being supportive! I do own what I said. It was a stupid conversation & I said a stupid thing. I found out about this just before I left work for the day yesterday. We didn't really talk about it. Just the one email in which I told him yes I said it. I was in a hurry to get...

    Major foot in mouth disease-rant

    So, I had this conversation with a woman (she is over the age of 30) at work in which we talked about femme men. I said that this one very attractive, very nice man had femme qualities. I happen to like this man very much, have a lot of respect for him. This was not a conversation about putting...

    Why do leg exercises make my lower back pain worse?

    I have talked at length with the 2 physical therapists at work about weighted leg work & low back pain. What they tell me is that our hamstring muscles are directly linked (through a bunch of nerves & tendons & other stuff that I couldn't begin to understand) to our lower backs. When our...

    Will Cathe ever make an infomercial??

    Personally I would hate to see Cathe go "commercial." I look at what has happened to The Firm & just think it would be a bad choice. The original creators of The Firm have all kinds of legal issues they are fighting since they "sold out." What you see now in those infomercials are some of the...

    Is this true???

    MEDIA MAIL SUCKS! A lot of people charge $4 or $5 for shipping on ebay but they don't mail first class but use media mail. That takes about 10 to 14 days to get from coast to coast. I'm currently going through the same thing. I won a DVD on the 5th & I still don't have it. The person I...

    Body for Life for Women book

    I haven't read it myself but a friend of mine has. She said that she felt it was more "do-able" for a woman than the regular BFL book. Hopefully someone that has read it will respond & give us better info than that.

    Gilmore Girls/Joan of Arcadia?

    DD & I watch Gilmore Girls EVERY Tuesday night. She's 19 & we have that same type of relationship--very close & open. Although I don't know that I would have been as cool as Loralei when she caught Rorie & Dean after they had done the deed. We own the Season 1 & 2 DVDs & watch them all...
