    Does anyone have a Ford Expedition?

    I have had an Expedition for 4 years, we really like it, have had very little problems with it. I think it is very comfortable and I like being so high up. The turning radius is awesome, it is very easy to park. We have 3 little kids and it allows room for their carseats plus a 3rd bench seat...

    Dairy=bad skin....?

    I have a neighbor who claims dairy makes you break out. It doesn't bother me as long as it has no sugar in it (the flavored yogurt for example). Sugar makes me break out bad, as does breakfast cereal. I would conduct your experiment! I am sure it is an individual thing. Diet modifications have...

    WW's people.....

    I didn't, but it didn't keep me from losing weight. (I had 20 lbs to lose and did it in about 3 months). I can't say I made any strength gains during that time (but my workouts weren't consistent either, due to time/energy constraints with 3 small children). Currently, I am trying to cut...

    How many calories do you burn breastfeeding?

    I would say 2 pts (WW) for each nursing. So, that is 6 to 8 points, which translates to 300 to 400 calories. Roughly. I don't know if they are still getting the quantity of breastmilk at 16 months they were when they were younger, as that age they are getting food etc. So maybe you don't burn...

    Cathe's Gym

    Does she own both the studio AND the gym part where everybody works out on the machines etc? I didn't think she owned the 2nd part....I thought it was part of the 4 Seasons..... Jen

    What was your epiphany?

    I was watching Oprah about 12 or so years ago, and it was a show on fashion,they had some guy, an expert, on clothing styles, really, I forget the point of the show. It wasn't fitness, just fashion... RIGHT before they cut to the ending credits, Oprah said something to the guy, like "Oh wait...

    A good reason to use sunblock! Can this be real???

    I found it at www.snopes.com which is a similar website...it was under photographs:people:great reason not to tan. It says origin undetermined, which I guess means they don't know if it real or not.... Jen

    A good reason to use sunblock! Can this be real???

    My tans come from a bottle and I like it that way! It looks great and I sure don't have the time to lay out in the sun. That picture is nasty! Jen

    Any different to work out in AM and PM vs doing all in one session?

    Try the 9 pm weight workout and see. Weight workouts don't keep me up late, usually (I have even done them at 10 pm), but aerobic ones definitely do. I think it is an individual thing. Jen

    Road trippers: Does anyone have a similar story?

    I don't think there is anything wrong with what you said, Debbie. Hopefully, she was probably just surprised at being recognized. I can't imagine what would be strange to anyone about you saying that. Jen

    The Pill and overweight don't mix

    I think Shape or Fitness had an article recently or just a chart or whatever about the effectiveness of different birth controls increasing with the individual's age. I thought it was interesting. Some of the ones that varied widely when someone is in their 20s were virtually identical...

    Trans-fat free?

    I try and stay away from them. A lot of stuff is now being labelled trans fat free, so that helps. I use that ICBINB spray, it does have a little in it, but the suggested serving size keeps it virtually zero. You could always use butter. As long as you watch portions, it would be ok. They...

    What things do you look for in a doctor?

    Med school graduates are over 50percent female so female docs if they are still in the minority, won't be for long.

    So basically diet is the best way to lose body fat?

    I am sure lots of folks will pop in with their input, but I wanted to say that IMHO clean eating does NOT include breakfast cereal, unless it is old fashioned oatmeal or irish oats etc. Clean means unprocessed. They are more filling and in theory you would eat more proper portions. IMHO I...

    Morning workouts, how do you motivate yourself....

    I tell myself that all I am going to do is get up and go to the bathroom and then "decide". Getting to the bathroom is my "sticking point" kind of like when you are doing a tough weight lift, or tough ab routine. Once you get through the sticking point, it is easier. Same with getting up to...

    Re: P90X Chin Up Bar.....

    Hm...so you can put these things in the wall? Rather than the doorway? Is there enough clearance to do pull ups when they are installed in the wall? I live in a house and use a spare bedroom but I don't want to hang in my doorway and do pull ups for various reasons, one of which is I won't be...

    Anyone read Suze Orman books?

    I have gotten a lot of her books out of the library, I really like them. She is too "touchy feely" for my DH, but they are good reading and good advice, IMHO. Jen
