I just jumped on to read your post and it looks like you are going to stay? I think that staying where you are at is a good decision... between your family being closer, having the gym that is closer, plus, I am sure you have a wide social group of friends in the area you live in that you...

This is a cute thread... I'm getting memories of those dixie cups back in the 70's with the jokes on them...! :) Why is six afraid of seven? Because seven eight (ate) nine. Lynn M.

Hi - On the recommendation of everybody on this forum, I got this workout. This was the first time I ever tried Amy Bento too. LOVED it!!! It was very fun, and while I struggled a bit learning the combos at first, it came together pretty well.. I can't wait to do this a few more times so...

Hi- Unfortunately, yucky stuff does grow in those feeders esp. when its warmer and more humid.. but aren't those hummingbirds adorable? if this is your first year of doing it, get ready, because the same ones will come back every year w/ their kids, grandkids, etc. We have been feeding...

I would love if all restaurants posted their nutritional info... I don't think it would hurt business at all... If I am trying to eat clean when I eat out, I don't care if the cost of the meal is more expensive.. ( well a few more dollars anyways) . And, I'll order the more expensive fish...

What a Fun thread! Here's my list of movies, that I'll always watch if I'm looking for some brain candy while flipping through the channels: Better Off Dead Grease Anything Quentin Tarantino Lynn M.

Hi- While everybody has their own different "bullet", here's what works for me: When I follow this program, I will lean down nicely.. Over the last year I've lost about 10 lbs and have kept my muscle and also felt great physically. I eat around 1500-1800 calories/ day. My nutrition...

Hi- To make the most of your "bathing suit debut", try reducing your salt, and carb intake. Also drink a ton of water. That will help w/ reduce your bloat. Eat smaller meals, so that you don't "a food baby" in your tummy when you don the suit. If you are exercising regularly and you like...

Good for her, I am in total agreement! In my son's class, they have two snacks a day and each child in the class takes a turn in bringing in the snacks for the whole class that day. ( works out that each kid does this 1x/month.) The teacher has requested that the snacks be "healthy" but the...

Hi- I posted a thread on calf work several weeks back and since then, I've changed up my program to try to get mine more cut ( but not necessarily bigger). I am seeing results from doing high rep, no weight calf raises. I do like a kazillion of them on the day I work my legs.. I also play...

Hi- Laura Max gave you an excellent list... the only other thing I can add to hers is that it is definitely good to watch that trainer w/ their other clients before you sign on w/ him or her. If you don't like their style, ie they talk too much, don't pay attention to you and talk to other...

To all of you enablers... ;) I just ordered both Surge and Cardio Hi/Lo based on all of your positive reviews... ordered from videofitness dvds w/ the 10off discount. ( Thank you Dianna) I am really looking forward to some new kickboxing workouts.. Thanks everybody!! Lynn M.

Could you do your cardio at home in the early AM? Then at work, just do your lifting? That is my favorite way to workout and even though I sweat buckets doing cardio, I don't sweat that much doing weights.. esp. if its just upper body. I love splitting it up that way, I've recovered enough from...

Hey Shana- Glad to hear you are doing it!!! It sounds like you are already more than ready to tackle it. Please let us know how it goes. Take care, Lynn M.

We sneak in snacks w/ our family too.. I've never seen any rules posted at our theatres about bringing outside food in so I figure its OK. ( Although I'm not blatant about it.) Its 8.75 a ticket to the theatre we like to go to. I figure they are making enough profit at that price. My son...

Hi there- For those of you who run or walk outside...do you wave and/or smile at the other people you pass by? I always do, and it is suprising to me how unfriendly the majority of people I see won't even acknowledge it. This is my neighborhood too, in a reasonably small midwest town so...

Hi Shana Banana- Do it , do it do it!!! :) I've done both a sprint and an olympic tri, and I had a lot of fun challenging myself with the training.. here were my observations.. Most people get really freaked out about the swim.. the good news is that you really are only in the water...

Hi- Just read your post and in total agreement w/ Janis... Keep those shoulders back and down and you'll engage the correct muscles. Take care, Lynn M.

Hi- If you want to increase your weight load for overhead shoulder presses, try sitting in a chair with a back for the exercise. This helps to stabilize your body so that you can focus more on the delt heads and will also help you to not use your back for the exercise. Also, I've noticed...

Hi - I get like this when I'm being really strict on my diet... I will get only 5 hours of sleep and just can't seem to sleep for any longer. I can't say I wake up hungry, I just wake up! :( Then, if I have a really bad eating day w/ lots of junk ( ie think high fat high carb) I'll sleep...
