European culture is much different from ours in so many ways. I love observing the differences. I also love visiting Europe. On another note...Tony Blair and the UK have done a tremendous job searching out and finding the terrorists without decimating innocent lives. The Bush...

Yes, Ms Janice, where are you????

You guys are too funny! :D

Part of the culprit is as we get older, our estrogen supply is lower. Osteopenia is a precursor to Osteoporosis. Mine also improved this year from my baseline the previous year but I was told to take my calcium and have been doing so religiously. I was also told that it's not the weight...

I hear ya, Kathryn!

RE: I just can't LOSE weight! And now I have a deadlin... Joni, I'm going to step in here and say something I believe you need to hear. Sarah looks fantastic, I agree, but you are not Sarah. Everyone is different and has to find their own body's niche. Please don't compare yourself to...

I wear my $12 scuba weight belt and fill it with my scuba lead weights.

I believe the issue of his Bi-Polar disorder is being overlooked here. Until your brother acknowledges his disease and starts taking treatment, I don't hold much hope for them. You SIL should try to get more information and education on his disorder. Bi-Polar disorder totally controls the...

Well, yesterday I did IMAX one and the first section of Coremax and took my dogs for a walk. But...I ate lunch at Taco Bell with DH. No T shirts for me...to hot here! I'm excited to hear how things went on the Road Trip.

I used to get them when I was younger and the doctor said it was eczema. But, you really should have it looked at by a doctor to be sure. JMHO

RE: Who's Stepping on 10 Ouch, my knees. LOL!

My protein is high, approx 40% of my total calories. I found this works better for me at keeping my body fat down. My fats are approx 30%, mostly through almonds and cashews. The remaining 30% are carbs.

Yeah, Marie. You got it! :-) I started with the FIRM which lead me to Cathe so I am thankful they exist. But, their later stuff does fit that description :D

Pedmom, Some people are more blunt than others. I tend to say things exactly how I feel. At my age and life experience, I've found I'd rather not beat around the bush. Life is too short to always say things nicey, nicey. We all express our views differently. If we didn't...just imagine...

I try not to go over 60-80 on weekdays and I only have starchy carbs via my oatmeal in the morning. THe rest of the day its via non starchy vegetables. Probably around 100 on weekends. As we get older, due to lowering metabolism, carbs can be a problem.

The low dose BC pill, Mircette has been a Godsend for me. Without it, due to peri-menopausal issues, I would be a nut case. My doctor said I could either go on anti-depressents or the BC pill. To me, treating the hormonal imbalance made more sense. I've been on it for five years and it's...

Sarah is absolutely right about the male reading factoring resistance training. But, what I don't understand is why, if you are peri-menopausal or post-menopausal, the readings may be inaccurate??!! Or why you must take your reading right after you roll out of bed??!! To me, all this...

Kimbra, I wish you both the best. Remember, working as a team to beat this is optimal but you husband needs to take an active role in the research and the therapy. As Bobbi said, OCD is nothing to be ashamed of. It can be overcome...I am living proof :-) Your husband is lucky to have...

My father died last year and my mother, brother and I had to make the decision for him. He had been chronically ill with COPD (emphysema) and continued to smoke. His condition was slowly and systematically destroying his reasoning abilities, therefore causing tremendous stress on my mother...

This was probably not the right thing to do if you have an eating disorder but Karen Sessions (Ms Fit) also suffered with an eating disorder herself and will probably be sympathetic to your situation. IMHO, since you are still nursing a baby the calories will be to restrictive. While I do...
