    I Probably Shouldn't Have Done This...

    I know of someone, similar problem, but it was dog poop. He gathered it up for a few weeks, in a what became a soggy paper bag, and then "delivered" it to the owner. So you are not as bad as you think :-) Jen

    Thinking of cutting my hair!

    If you are tired of it I think you should cut it, but go slowly as the person said. I think it is a shame when women are stuck in a hair rut. There is wiggle room in just about any person's head of hair for a change, even as you take into consideration what looks good with your face. You don't...

    When wanting to lean out...

    Lori: IMHO it really depends on how your body responds to weight training. I think that if I am going to lift a weight, I want it to be heavy enough to really challenge me or why bother? Maybe that is a psychological thing. Lately I have been doing a rotation similar to what you describe...

    My pictures

    You look awesome. I have done WW and it works to a certain extent but you really can't get buff with it. I may break down and get BFFM. I think it might help DH too, he gets too hungry for WW and he has muscle mass so I don't want him to lose that, but he does have some fat to lose. Maybe I...

    Goals and your favorite rotation!!!

    IMHO it really depends on the individual, but for me, controlling my food portions really helped. I have CTX and think it is great, the 30 minute cardio is good for me because they are short but intense. There is some research that shows short intense cardio can be very effective. I tend to do...

    Caution-Promoting Product on Forum

    I think this was a good idea to mention this issue. While I do not have a problem with people mentioning a product that they sell if it meets a need someone has already mentioned that they have, I have seen threads that look suspiciously like what you've mentioned, and it sort of bugs me, and...

    My food and exercise observation

    I lost 25 lbs (WW) without much exercise. I had 3 little ones, one of which was very young, and no time. But, you always have time to eat right! Or at least to not over-eat. I was very strict with my WW, it def works. I know a few people in my life right now, whose excuse for not losing...

    What do you think?

    I have heard of detoxing, but it has always been through your digestive system. I have never heard of detoxing through the skin. I don't see how that is physically possible. It sounds like a scam to me, or someone has deluded him into believing this. Jen

    Does anyone here have a gym membership?

    I have one, it is cheappp, share it with DH who goes, I only go maybe 1x a week. There have been times in my life where I had the time to go to the gym 4 times a week for 2 hours at a pop, but those days are gone. Now I go once a week for either a body pump class with a buddy(I do GS the...

    How heavy is "lifting heavy?"

    RE: How heavy is I think I am similar to you. She goes faster (than I ever do when I am in the gym) and without the racks etc you'd find in a gym, I just don't feel like I can go heavier than Cathe. I am still working my way up to what she does. I do about 75 percent of what she says she is...

    Core work has enabled me to do full pushups!

    YES! I have found that push ups are nearly as much about my core strength as they are about my upper body strength! So true. I have found also that the day after muscle soreness from the push ups in GS is also in my lats! What is up with that? I have heard of muscle confusion, but this is...

    What happened to these kids ????????????

    Have you ever seen the size of the antique beds they have in those historically accurate museum displays of how people live in the 1800s, etc? I am thinking of places like the Henry Ford Museum etc in Michigan. They are such short beds! Tiny! They always say it is because people were shorter...

    Amazing Abs

    I agree with Ritko1. I am trying to lower my bf percentage right now, it is about 20 percent, I believe, and I would like to have a 6 pack, or even a 4 pack! :-) and I am not there yet. I have to say my arms and legs are pretty skinny so it appears as if the last place my body wants to take off...

    Lucky Sweet & Low Jeans

    I have often wondered about the ones I see on Ebay, but I don't know what size I am in any of the styles, so I am unsure as to purchasing them that way. Is there a way to measure yourself and see if they will fit? What stores carry them other than the Lucky stores? I was in my Costco the...

    May I vent please

    Lorrie: good for you for taking care of yourself. My kids are 7,4 and 2 so I know what your life is like. When people make comments like that I find it so laughable that I really don't take them seriously. I am glad you have a place you can talk about stuff like this. Keep up the good work...

    What happens to your body at 30?

    At 30 I found that the habits I had of a big fat peanut butter sandwich at lunch, the eating out almost every night at dinner, and the nightly big bowls of ice cream started to show on my body, whereas they had not before. It was on my waist, too. Once I cleaned up my eating, I had no problem...

    MIL is asking what to wear at wedding??????? HELP!!!!...

    I had to wear a bridesmaid dress in a color that was less than flattering on me (washes me out,just not "my color" type of thing). I used some light self tanner on my face, then had a make up artist do my makeup. I ended up looking pretty good, the pictures we even used for my christmas cards...
