Hi Carole, Well done on the pound and congratulations to your DH. I have read about Eat to Live and it sounds like a good program, though in my current situation, I don't know whether I would have the tenacity to stick with it - I'm always after a good vegetarian recipe though! :) I have...

Futurefitnessdynamo, Thanks for your reply! My first experience of this was my brother going away with a mate who ate nothing but meat - by the end of the weekend, my normally meat loving bro' was craving nothing but vegetables. Incidentally, FFD, I really enjoy your posts - some of them...

Carole, that always happens to me - I order something like vegetables which are usually pretty healthy and then they come presented drowning in olive oil and cheese sauce! When I go out to restaurants, I usually order what I please but in a smaller size. Yeah, the stuff they give you to...

Hi healthy eating checkin ers and others! I'm pleased to say that I'm on the healthier eating path again this week. Fruit, vegetables, whole grains and my favourite, lentils :) YUM! How is everyone else doing? I have read quite a lot of posts about how to get the motivation to eat better...

That would be wonderful. I just loved reading about your preparation for the Intensity Series and found it inspirational and motivating. A "fitness round table" with your crew describing your prep and fitness in general would be fantastic! Even on this website it would be terrific. I'm...

Fruit salad for breakfast sounds wonderful! I don't know why I started a Healthy Eating Checkin because I have not been able to participate. Last night I was in the ER with severe stomach cramps and I haven't really eaten much over the past few days - I am seeing a gastroenterologist on...

hello girls, Well my start to healthier eating hasn't exactly gone to plan. First of all I had viral gastro, then I have had acute bacterial tonsillitis for the last five days. I eventually went to the ER on Sunday morning and have been living on antibiotics and icecream ever since. I...

RE: Would anyone be interested in a Hello ladies, I reckon we could check in once a week, say on Mondays or what ever day suits you. I've had a really good start to my improved dietary intake - I came down with a major case of diarrhea/food poisoning (must have been from all those...

Hello there! I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in a healthy eating check-in. My eating has gone by the wayside since having kids and I am making a concerted effort to eat better. By this I mean, more veggies, fruits, pulses, lean meat and lean dairy, rather than more processed...

Hi Steph, This happened to me - I nearly missed all of my first trimester...and to think I was wondering why I wasn't feeling any fitter! I taught classes almost up to the end and did go anaerobic at times - as soon as I knew, I just pulled back about until I was working out at a...

I bid for one item - curiosity got the better of me and apparently the listing has been pulled - just got an email from EBay advising me of this. It's such a shame there are such crooks out there - I have been selling and buying on Ebay recently and have found that most of the time people...

Dear Connie I've been there too. As a teaching veteran (I've got 15 years under my belt) I have a few recs. For an entire step class, I usually teach two blocks of 32 counts for the entire class - it is amazing how you can change 32 counts of music, plus there are so many ways of getting...

Dear Janice, It sounds like you have very strong "global" muscles - ie your rectus abdominus and external obliques but your core muscles ie transversus abdominus and internal obliques have poor endurance or don't recruit in the right sequence. This can occur when you have trauma to the...

Hi all, An American buddy suggested these guys for workout clothing but I can't find a website. Has anyone had experience with Express? Are they are clothing franchise store ala The Gap? Thanking you from DownUnder Liz n

Sorry Gina, you beat me to it!

I can't believe anyone hasn't posted this one yet; THONG UNDERWEAR PEEPING OUT FROM TOO-LOW HIPSTERS....Yuck! Also: makeup that looks like it's been applied with a trowel men that wear revealing gym shorts with no undies... tops that are two sizes too small on overweight...

The Mothers-In-Motion Glory Bra is pricey but fantastic - I've used them thru two pregnancies.... Website: www.mothers-in-motion.com Best, liz N

I am so fascinated by everyone's replies. They are all extremely thought provoking and valid comment. As a practising Catholic, I am often amazed at the negative reactions from others about "religion", "Catholicism", "The Bible" etc etc. Often these reactions, to me, seem unprovoked. The...

Wayne, just a thought, but have you had any lower back injuries recently or any groin injuries? I have had problems with this whole area (though not peeing) for over a year and a lower back injury can apparently make you more susceptible to pelvic floor problems. Have you thought about...
