    Hypothyroidism - What works for you? (sorry..long!)

    So when do you take your synthroid? I usually end up eating cereal and milk anywhere from one to three hours after I take mine. Hmmm...I wonder where one might find an open-minded doctor like that? That does not sound easy. I felt a lot better when I first went on synthroid in 2002 and have...

    New Weight Watchers Program

    Actually WW has been encouraging healthier eating and better food choices for a long time. It's true you can "eat what you want", but they've always tried to encourage people to eat lean protein, whole grains, healthy fats and plenty of fruits and veggies. But it does sound like the new plan...

    New Weight Watchers Program

    Are bananas considered 0 points too? They were 2 points on the old system and I know they have a lot of sugar in them.

    Is anyone else a bit disturbed by VW's ads?

    Isn't that funny how things go by different names in different places? We called it slug bug too and when you punched someone you had to yell "slug bug".

    gloves for kettlebells

    I want to use gloves with my kettlebells because I get eczema on my hands pretty bad and it hurts to use them without gloves. I'm trying to find some thin ones that would work well with kettlebells. Do any of you use gloves? I did a search on this forum and found a suggestion for nylon danskin...

    kettlebell questions

    I'm new to kettlebells as well, so I don't have a lot of advice, but I first bought a 20# and it was too heavy for a lot of the moves, so I bought a 15# and I'm really glad I have both. It's usually recommended that most women start with a 15 or 18 and strong women start with a 20 lb bell. If I...

    The "unschooling" trend

    Unfortunately some of you are judging the unschooling concept based on one video clip that you watched. The people in the video are EXTREME unschoolers and have actually taken it beyond unschooling into unparenting. Unschooling doesn't involve raising your kids without rules and letting them do...

    Not in great shape, but getting there-April 1st

    Hi Lori, Thanks for the well wishes! I'm mostly better, but I have this cough that just won't go away. It didn't keep me from working out though. I did kettlebells on Sunday and Tuesday, I did 4DS upper body on Monday and I also did 4DS lower body on Tuesday. The kettlebells are really fun...

    Not in great shape, but getting there-April 1st

    So I haven't been doing well lately with getting in my workouts. Three weeks ago I had a bad cold and didn't workout at all, then the next week I got some workouts in, but not nearly what I wanted, and then last week I got the stomach flu. We've been passing illnesses around my house. Now I have...

    Not in great shape, but getting there-March 13th

    Hi, I was thinking we could start a new thread once a month instead of weekly since we don't actually have that many posts and there seems to only be 3 of us now. I could start the new thread on the 1st of the month. Does that sound okay? I bought a kettlebell on Saturday. I bought a 20...

    Kettlebell help

    Yay, I just bought my first kettlebell today! I'm planning on buying either Lauren Brook's DVD or AOS, but for now I've been looking at the ironcore DVD that came with the kettlebell. It's a gofit by the way. Anyway I bought the 20lb and I'm wondering if it's too heavy. I agonized over whether...
