Yeah, rolling is a good idea, but my wrist doctor told me that he sees a lot of wrist breaks from people in good shape because their reflexes are so quick. If you think about it, you have to have a pretty quick reaction time to get your hand behind you to break your fall. That's what happened...

The last time I fell over my step during a step routine I broke my wrist. That's the last time I did step. It can happen so quickly. You think you're indestructible and next thing you know you're on the ground, having landed on your wrist (or other body part) and you're broken. No fun...

Mary, I was in your boat just a short while back. I had so many jeans I never wore most of them. I forgot I even had some of them. So I did a jean intervention on myself. I went through every single pair and decided which ones I would wear and which ones I wouldn't. I ended up with about 12...

I did Anni's Fierce Force this morning and thought of this thread, so thought I'd post to recommend it. Now I see that Colleen has already mentioned it. This one is TOUGH!!! I also agree with Stacy about Bob Harper. My favorite of his workouts is "Total Body Transformation". This one will...

The topic of "jeans" will bring you as many different answers as there are people responding! :D I used to buy WHBM jeans only. Their styles always fit me, and I always knew what size. But their prices are fairly high. Just recently, on a whim, I tried some Rock & Republic jeans at Kohl's...

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned SanDiegoFit.com. They have some really cute workout attire. However, am I the only one that balks at the high prices of most workout wear? I admit I'm the first person to spend a lot on clothes and shoes, but for some reason I always hesitate to pay high...

I've been a here a long, long time too! I wonder when this forum started? My join date was 14 years ago in 1999. Gosh.... I was only 42 years old then.... just a spring chicken! ;)

I'm another who was all baby. I gained a total of 16 lbs and my extremeties (arms and legs) actually got smaller. My rings were falling off my fingers because the weight was all going to my stomach/baby. And then the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy one of my legs from the ankle to the knee just...

I've already responded elsewhere in reference to this same story, but what's the big outrage over the judgement of her? She put the photo out there. People are going to give their opinions. It's the nature of social media. If you don't want negative feedback (or any kind of feedback) then...

Renee, My deepest and heartfelt sympathies. I am sending prayers of strength to you and your family.

This thread is almost 5 years old. Just a heads up.

My thoughts are that it isn't your shoes, but your floors. I think hardwood is too hard to work out on without cushioning. I would put some sort of gym mats (puzzle mats maybe) over the area where I work out. If you're wearing the same shoes you used on your carpet floors and your knees...

This is what I was thinking too! I'm thankful for my flu shot. I wouldn't think of going without one. The alternative is NO FUN!

This is my rule too! Nothing shorter than where the tips of my fingers hang against my thighs. I think that's a better gage than a certain number of inches, because not everyone's legs are proportionally the same. The fingertip length rule gives you a good proportion for your height and leg...

The problem is now that you've deleted all of DAfan's posts, it looks like someone else resurrected the old thread. It makes absolutely no sense at all. I read it a few days ago, and even then I was thinking someone else resurrected the thread.... not DAfan. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but that's...

I second the recommendation to schedule your appointment first thing in the morning... like 6 or 7am if you can. I did my prep the day before and was completely cleaned out by bedtime, so no need to get up during the night. Of course I had to get up early to get to the appointment, but I was...

I am wondering if you've done a colonoscopy before? I ask because for me, once I had to drink a gallon (seemed like) of that awful stuff to make you go to the bathroom, food was the LAST thing on my mind. This may be TMI, but I felt more like throwing up than eating. You may have already...

I hesitate to call your friend(s) nasty, but it does sound like they aren't very nice. Who has friends that treat them like this? If you are obssessed, then I am certifiable. I don't have a single friend or family member that has ever spoken to me about it with anything less than admiration...

Nancy, don't take our observations personally. It was just the way the conversation turned. Sometimes when there's an opportunity to vent a little about a subject, the thread will go in that direction. Your intent to get a chuckle out of people was clear. I think we're all basically optimistic...

I am too. I'm 5'7" and 115 lbs. The problem is, not too many people want to hear us complain about being called too skinny. It just isn't a popular thing to fuss about. I know because I've been called out on it before. :( The problem is, it's not okay to comment on anybody's weight...
