    Walking Does Wonders for Cellulite

    What a great testimonial! I walk every day with the dog but don't get up to a good clip because I am always "worried" about stepping on her, and I am always correcting her behavior so that she walks next to me. Maybe I should stop worrying about her and MOVE! Carrie

    Money during travel - traveler's checks?

    I have travelled with Traveler's Checks but that was some time ago. I think you can also take them into a bank and cash them while travelling. A prepaid VISA is a good idea. Just about every place accepts VISA and if it is a prepaid card, your spending can't get too out of control! Carrie

    Overeaters Anonymous

    Nan - I pretty much had the same reaction to OA. I was seriously considering going to get my nighttime crazy eating (for no apparent reason...boredom, oral fixation??) under control. However, when I saw the steps and the literature they sell, I was completely turned off. I am not a...

    Getting turned off

    I thought the idea of the stamps was kind of fun. Carrie

    Supplement/Appetite Supressant

    Ivy - I agree with Jules and have the personal experience to back it up. I have yet to find an appetite suppressant that actually worked. I think the main reason they don't "work" is because many times when we eat, especially in stressful situations, it isn't because we are actually hungry...

    Did someone mention that aggression was one of the side-effects of Xplode? Carrie

    The lunch money thief

    This is what I do. If for some very strange reason, I have to send in cash (I can't think of one at the moment, I put the amount, my child's name, and teacher's name on the front of the envelope and seal that puppy up GOOD AND TIGHT!! I actually bought envelopes from a school fundraiser this...

    Tracie Long's preorder & clips are up!

    These look good but I might wait for reviews. The preorder seems to be by four for the price of three. I only want three so I won't be losing if I wait...one pre-order I am not pre-ordering! That's progress! Carrie

    CHALENE EXTREME ROTATION WITH OTHER INTRUCTOR'S DVDS

    It wasn't very often that I used the cardio DVDs that came with CLX during my rotation, mainly because I don't like doing the same thing all the time but also because I did it in the summer when it was nice enough to be outside exercising. I didn't mind the cardio DVDs. Though, I couldn't...

    Unwanted/unsoliciated advice at gym today!!

    I apologize for jumping to conclusions. Like Janie says above, there are certain words that I view as hurtful. Fat and ugly certainly fit into that category. If he was condescending (maybe because you are a woman??), that is a different matter. You are correct. He could have given pointers...

    Unwanted/unsoliciated advice at gym today!!

    And your initial reaction may very well have been correct! One never knows why guys do things...and they say we are hard to understand:p! Carrie

    Taking back the trails......

    That is just awful! Is there a way that a "community watch" group can be started with many people walking at the same time and reporting suspicious individuals to police. Maybe after a month or two of doing this, the hooligans will get the hint...or get arrested! I agree with Pam. Maybe...

    Taking back the trails......

    Wow, that is really scary, and BOLD, especially the shooting of a police officer. Is there someone you can walk or run with? How about getting a dog to hike with (and love and cuddle)? Short of that, can you carry some type of a weapon (I am not talking 9mm)...maybe pepper spray, or...

    Unwanted/unsoliciated advice at gym today!!

    This was my first reaction as well. We don't always know a person's story. It isn't always good to judge a present by the wrapping paper! Carrie

    Turbo Fire

    I am not sure anybody knows much yet. The only thing out there about this product is the short infomercial clip circulating the web. It looks pretty intense but doesn't seem to be the same intensity as Insanity. The idea behind Insanity was long work, short rest. The "wave" graphic for...

    What's up with those sneakers that are supposed to get you into shape?

    There are so many of these type of sneakers on the market, which ones are you talking about? There are several people here who really like the MBT type shoes. I tried the Shape Ups from Skechers. It made my feet look as if I was wearing shoes made for people with leg of foot issues (like kids...

    tracy anderson

    I thought Tracy had a clip on YouTube (just a brief sample). It was more of an overview. From what I understand after reading reviews, they are much more lower body focused with very little upper body work. I liked the weighted and unweighted arms sections in her Mat Workout so was...
