    80 lbs lost OMG!!! (long - sorry)

    I am sooo proud for you!!!! I don't know you, but I know what hard work this is--I used to be overweight and have similar eating habits. What you have achieved is wonderful! My mom is facing the same situation right now. She has joined Inches-a-Weigh (similar to Curves but it's an...

    I got to see Hillary!

    NY25 I could not agree more! It is PAST time for the wealthiest of this country to contribute more-to give the middle class a break, and for mega-corporations to stop getting off so easily as well. I am ready for a change and I also think that Obama is inspiring. Watching him debate is like...

    I think that this is an exciting time: we have Hillary and Obama running for president! How cool is that? Talk about diversity!

    Spinning class

    Pacing yourself is excellent advice. I made the same mistake and was cocky thinking that I was a runner, worked-out a lot, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I about had a coronary within the first 15 minutes because I had cranked the resistence so high and was pedaling like mad. I don't do spinning...

    cancelled my preorder

    I completely agree with Chris/SNM. I think that this is an absolute STEAL!!!!! I am sooo excited even though I know that it is going to a LOT of hard work. I was sold the minute Cath said that this is similar to the way she trains--SIGN ME UP!!!!! However, if you don't think you'll use and...

    Poor Body Image?

    I've been there too. One day, I will feel strong and great, the next like two-ton-Tilda. My husband blames hormones, but I wonder if I will obssess over food and body my whole life. I certainly do not want to pass this perverse attitude onto my children. There are times when I feel like...

    Test Group

    Good idea Lina. But, personally, I hate testimonials. The results are either uninspiring or unrealistic and I am always skeptical. For example, the results that P90X showed all looked fantastic, but there are so many variables involved that there is no way the results one person got are...

    how do u curb evening sweet tooth?

    Sugar free hot chocolate gets me through. 25 calories a pop (I'll have two glasses per day) and it is yummy! I try to watch how much artificial sweetner I consume, but this is one I have yet to give up. Love, love, love it this time of year. Also, I'll eat about 7-10 semi-sweet chocolate...

    Seeking advice from the weight lifters

    RE: Cathe's Choreography I completely agree that you should purchase 4DS! I love this series and it goes by very quickly! It really takes any and all drudgery out of weight lifting. The lifting is only 30 min in length and there are not endless sets and reps to get through. At the same...

    Tell me if I was wrong

    She's 18? Pretty young, even though at that age one thinks they have all the answers. I would do everything in my power to keep the lines of communication open between you and her and the rest of the family. Seek some guidance and help from a professional and try to repair this...

    weight training and osteoporosis

    I have been attending a community group for those who suffer from arthritis and osteoporosis as a requirement for my nursing school clinical rotation. The Arthritis Foundation actually recommends exercise: strength, aerobic, and flexibility as ways to cope with/improve arthritis and reduce the...

    Asics Crosstrainers

    Ok, today was the first workout in them and they felt pretty good. A lot different than the usual running shoe I wear. They are a little wider in the toe box, the heel is more stable from side to side and there is reinforcement around the toes for lateral support. They are asics gel-fx. I...

    gaining weight?

    I wouldn't panic. Give your body time to adjust, it's not going to happen that rapidly. Plus, slow weight loss is better because you're less likely to gain it back. It sounds like you're doing really well, so stick with it. Don't get discouraged, either way you're getting in better shape and...

    Asics Crosstrainers

    I love Asics as a running show and today I purchased a pair of their crosstrainers. I am really excited to try them--I'm getting ready to do 4DS LIS/Shoulders. But, they felt really comfortable in the store and weren't too terribly expensive at $69. I hope they are better for lateral support...

    What is cardio coach????

    Okay guys, I have heard a lot about cardio coach and I think it's called iTrain (I think that's it). What is this stuff? How do you get it? Is it worth it? Do you use it? And how much $? I guess I'm a little out of the loop, but I have a hard time keeping up with all the recommendations...

    Weekend Plans

    Hmmm...work tonight, but off Saturday and Sunday! Those two days off are much needed! I will be studying for a test first thing Monday morning and hopefully doing something fun and relaxing in between. Thinking about starting the 4DS for a third week in a row...that would mean m/b LIS and...
