    Elliptical machine recommendation's: is having incline necessary?

    I'm with you Susan...I love my LifeFitness elliptical. I actually like the moveable handlebars since they add to the aerobic activity and can really get that heart rate up (or if I'm not using the handlebar, I don't hold on at all, which is great for the core). I would suggest you do what my...

    What do y'all do for a living?

    I've been a SAHM for 13 years who just went back to work part time in late 2006. My experience prior to kids was in retail (manager for Limited, Inc.) and a great position fell into my lap. My mother is managing a beautiful fine stationary, invitations and gift store that opened in September...

    someone critique my daily eating/diet!!!!

    Hi Cbelle, I am also hypothyroid and even on the meds, I need to keep my calories low (1100 to 1200) to lose weight and still not that high to maintain (between 1600 and 1800). Like Candi says, we are all different. I've also tried adding calories, and it just doesn't work for me...

    Merck Mandating Vaccine

    I agree Autumn! Thank you, Becky, for your information. I also believe that 99% of the doctors out there are dedicated to helping people:-) :-) I also would like people to keep in mind that pharmaceutical companies have also done much more good than bad! Becky

    Merck Mandating Vaccine

    I don't know if I agree with the mandating of the Gardisil vaccine, but I agree with Becky that it is a good idea to have your girls vaccinated. My 13 year old daughter was vaccinated this month and my 10 year old daughter will be next year. I've have seen, first hand, cervical cancer because...

    Did anyone START with cathe?

    I started back in the 80's with Charlene Prickett (I was in Middle School). My mom and I would set up our steps in our family room and step away! When I was in college, we had some great step classes offered through the PE department, so I did that along with some running and weight training...

    Mine was also (I think) Mega Step Blast at the end of 1993-94! Boy, that was a long time ago:-) :-) . But I have stuck with Cathe all the way! Becky

    Sharing - A couple of observations about my body

    Candi, It could be a combo of both. I know that for me (and some others) Nutrasweet causes a lot of bloating. I do much better with Splenda, but still try to limit that to maybe a few times a week. Isn't it funny how something that you really don't even think about can make such a big...

    Sharing - A couple of observations about my body

    Candi, Nutrasweet bloats me too. Whenever I eat or drink something that contains it I feel like I'm 5 months pregnant! I'm glad you found something that you like.:-) Becky

    Who gets massages?

    I get 90 minute deep tissue massages every other week. I can't tell you how much better you will feel, especially if you have problem areas that are sore all of the time. For me, it's my hips, hamstrings and neck. Well worth the money (I haven't been injured in years and really helps to...

    Heart Rate Monitor....what to choose?

    I'm LOL fox2star! I have the F6 and have the exact same thoughts when I finish a workout and see that I've forgotten to hit start:-) :-) I, too, would highly recommend the Polar F6. Very functional and easy to set up and use. Becky

    Congrats Colts!

    YAY COLTS!!!!!! We are so psyched in Indy. But I'll tell you, I'm paying a price today...we let our 3 kids (13, 10 and 4) stay up and watch and boy are they crabby today:-) :-) :-) . However, it is a small price to pay for GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!! Becky

    Coincidence...I think NOT!

    I'm 38 and just went to the opthamologist last month for my yearly exam. For about 6 months I was having a difficult time seeing out of my contacts and glasses. I assumed my eyesight had gotten worse, but it had improved by half! No wonder I couldn't see! My doctor(like you) says that if you...

    Any Football Fans Out There?

    I'm from Indy, too, so I'm a huge Colts fan! I think that this might just be our year (10 fingers and 10 toes crossed!). Catwoman, are you able to go to the game on Sunday? GO COLTS!!!! Becky

    piriformis syndrome

    Hi Norma, I had this problem 4 years ago and the only thing that eventually worked was seeing a Pain Management doctor. What he did was to give me a local on my left leg and glute area (the problem side) and then stick two metal needles into my buttocks and deliver an electrical current to...

    Non-workout shoe suggestions needed

    I love my Danskos too! And they are getting much more stylish :) I also like Anne Klein Flex and Liz Claiborne flex (very fashionable, but with arch support and padding in the heel and toe). Becky

    Sprained back - now what??!!

    I suffered from very bad sciatica that radiated from my lower back down my left leg at the tale end of my last pregnancy and into that 1st year after he was born (this was 4 years ago). After seeing an orthopedic surgeon, having an MRI (which was clear except for a little arthritis in my...
