Liann and lkl, In addition to what you both said, in my opinion the new scoring system just try to push these poor young girls body over the hill. Jumpping is still very important and in order to keep score higher, these girls not only have to do more difficult jumps but also have to arrange...

It is not too bad. I got my glute, hamstring and butt area injured while I was training for STS. It was so bad that I could not walk and sit last week. My doc gave me anti inflamatory medicine and did 4 PT so far. I got Insanity today. I just can't resist it. I tried it tonight. I dared...

Thank you for understanding. My own workout often being disrupted by her activities. It is very hard. I felt like I tried every thing but still just keeps my head above the water. I am full time mom too. Thanks, lkl. Wow, I did not know NY skating club did that. At least our club does...

Robin, What you said is so true. Nobody would see behind the scene ugly thru those beautiful movements on ice. Liann, I wish we could have known you and got your inside story when DD started. Then we would be much better prepared for it. We might just chose to be a recreational skater...

Thank you , Liann. It is very hard for outsider to understand this sport. We did not understand it when she started. We were so innocent, thought this is just another sport. We never know that we had to spend over $1500 for her boots and blades. Since she is growing, that meant we had to...

Thank you all for your kind words. Unfortunately, this will be her last season. We have an agreement that after Oct Regional, we will be done with it. It is not she is not good. It is we can't afford no more. Also, when we started figure skating sport, we never thought it would cost so much...

Just want to share my daughter competition video. This was her qualified round on last Friday. I was so nervous and shaking. She was much calm than me. ;) She got 4th in the qualified round and 4th in the final round. I did not get a chance to film her in final round. There were total 30...

My daughter have a cut in her right corner of eye. Her plastic surgeon told us don't need anything fancy, just use Eucerin - the original formula one. Apply it as often as you can. It will make it look like your surrounding skin. But it will take about 1 year.

Thanks to Joan. I will get mine Jul 21 next Tue. I can't wait to start. But recently my butt pain got worse. I had hard time to walk or sit for over 10 minutes. I am currently doing stretch exercises prescribed by my PT. Fit44, can you tell me all those work do they require more...

I worked out at home. We have almost everything we need to do workout except hight and space. But it is very efficent. I don't need to drive and dress for someone. My husband religiously joined me recently to make all my investment in equipments all worthy. My daughter also used our...

I ate McDonald last Fri and Sun. Two times.:o. But I am fine with it. I had to take my daughter to her competition in Milwaukee. Friday was qualified round. Thought we would be done with it. But unfortunately, she was qualified to final round. We had to go back Sunday. I ate two Angus...

Thanks for your feed back. I personally never believe any supplement. I also can not keep taking them in schedule. My daughter skates 4 hours each day with one hour break for lunch during the week now. She skates 5 days a week during summer time. I had to work and could not stay in the...

My daughter's coach gave my daughter a can of FRS and a piece of chew thing. MY DD told me it did help her. But she is only 11. I can't count on her reaction. I would like to know if any of you take it? What do you think about it? Is it safe? Thanks

Another request from Chicago... Would like to see how she uses eggs in daily meals...

Thank you both, Heidi and Julie. A few more questions. Do I need to buy any more accessories? Costco package will come with heart rate strap and 305 monitor itself. Do I need to be computer geek to get this thing setup? How easy it is to upload and download the data? If I am...

I have GoWearFit. I like it. It really helps me to push my calories burn. But it did not give me heart rate and outdoor mileage. I had polar F2. Again, it did not give me outdoor mileage either. Costco has this model on sale now. It is $150. Do you think it is good value? My DH finally...

I have been thru STS 3 1/2. Now I am doing a second round of STS. I am advanced exereciser. Do you think these workout will still keep me from boring (too easy)? Also, like Ms. Lee, I would like to know how you use her workout. Can I use it in between STS days? Thanks

Thank you all for your feed back. Yes, for me it was more deep glut area. Before it was like inner thigh connected with butt. This time, it was outside and in the middle of my left butt. But it is very hard to pin point it. For me, running is not making it bad. But when I did one leg...

Thanks, Beth. I, too, hope to get more answers here. How did you do the roller? I felt it was hard to get into the right spot. And it is hard to pin point the spot actually. But the sharp pain it is like a shot. Then it's gone. On and off. Now I pay more attention to my left leg move...

I am in 2nd round of STS. In my first round, I got this severe pain in place where my inner thigh connected to my bud. It's not continuency pain. It's stop and go. Even when I sat, sometimes the sharp pain would almost made me had to stand up. I could still run. I did not feel discomfort...
