My body type doesn't fit neatly into the ecto/meso/endomorph categories. I have broad shoulders, not much definition in the waist and narrow hips. I build muscle easily but also put on fat easily, and I carry my extra weight evenly all over my body. I'm always trying to achieve strength and...

It's not a big deal to miss a period now and again due to stress or training, but long-term effects aren't good: loss of bone minerals and risk of osteporosis. Apparently even supplementing with calcium and doing weight-bearing exercises like the fitness competitors do is not enough to offset...

What A-Jock said. Ab Hits is great if you have a multidisc DVD player - just keep it in one of the slots and you'll always have a variety of ab workouts from which to choose after you do your cardio or weights for the day. Unlike Core Max, the segments are a lot shorter and you can choose...

Lots of water with lemon juice Big bowl of strawberries White-bean salad with onions and peppers mixed up with salad greens Avocado and tomato sandwich on whole-grain bread Two ears of corn on the cob 1/4 cup almonds A big oatmeal cookie

I've always eaten dairy and am gratified to read all the recent studies suggesting that dietary calcium aids in fat burning. I usually have soy milk instead of cow's milk (just a personal preference)and I'm not much of a cheese fan except for Parmesan, but I love plain yogurt and cottage cheese.

I'm 40. I'm not new to exercise but I've always been erratic - working out consistently for a year, doing nothing for six months, back at it for a year, off another nine months. The Cathe workouts that have given me the most muscle definition and strength - my goals - are the Pyramids, Pure...

Hiking and snorkeling. I'm not a good swimmer AT ALL - I can save myself and that's about it - but I can snorkel for hours.

United is safe, or at least as safe as any other US airline, most of which are in Chapter 11 or coming out of it. US Airways is the one that is teetering on the brink, according to the aviation business experts.

Mine do this all the time when I walk for long distances or run on the treadmill. I don't notice it happening with other cardio, like step. Looking forward to any insights... ETA: came up with this link on a Google search of "running and swollen hands"...

Nothing revolutionary in the book - focus on whole foods rather than processed, portion control, enjoy your food, don't eat on the run. Maybe you can get a copy from the library instead of shelling out $$. The author conveniently chooses to ignore the rising rate of obesity in France, of...

"I love how were listing the faults of our partners and not ourselves? Interesting? No?" Well, it wasn't the theme of the thread. Start the "I'm sure I drive my partner crazy when I...." thread and I'm there!;) Allison

DH and I are together 14 years and I certainly have a list: Bad: 1. His drinking is getting a little...questionable. He used to come home and have a beer, maybe two, to wind down after work. Now it's two beers and two glasses of wine...or two-thirds of a bottle of wine. Not enough to be...

>>And, yes it was a bit of racist for her to say hispanic male and a white female who kidnapped her. If you look at history, it's usually the minority that does a lot of kidnappings and other things. Yes, I know there are a lot of whites who does this things as well. You can challenge me all you...

Here we go: - Botox every four months - color and highlights in my hair to hide the gray - custom bleaching trays from my dentist - currently undergoing laser treatment to remove some moles on my face

Cirque is awesome - someone I know well used to work for them in Vegas and I got some backstage peeks. Many of the performers are gymnasts from the former Soviet republics who got training in those schools where you live away from home starting when you're five so you can try to become an...

You all are really impressive with how many pushups you can do. My max right now is 14-16 on my toes, so the first time I did GS I did the first set of 16 on my toes, then couldn't do another set until the 10s or maybe the 8s. I'm trying to do 1/2 of every set on my toes so I don't get...

How about making your own oatmeal muffins instead of buying the oatmeal squares? At least you know everything that goes into them, and you can add nuts, raisins, wheat germ, etc. to boost the nutritional content. And they freeze well, so you can bake a couple dozen at a time. I have a...

Go Charlotte go! That's the best feeling, when you move up in weights. Such a sense of accomplishment!

(((Hugs)). What a beautiful dog he was. One thing that helped me when my pets died was to write down some anecdotes about them - funny things they did, foods they liked or disliked, whatever. Maybe your whole family can contribute their memories. While you're all still hurting from...
