Voga! It's a Pinot Grigio. Before finding Voga I didn't even like wine.

Hi Kara, I also suffer from similar sounding lower back pain. You should definitely go to the doctor to rule out anything serious, but here is what worked for me. I went to the doctor who just told me to take some time off exercising, and when I did that, the pain came back when I went back...

I agree with MIC. That workout is so hard for me to get through both mentally and physically!

Hi Carola, Christine and Kel, Thank you all for the great advice. I was feeling bad for her, but you're right, I just need to give her time to feel comfortable here. I plan on enrolling her in obedience training as soon as the next local beginner level class starts up (in about 3 weeks)...

Hi everyone, My husband and I adopted a 1 year old border collie mix last Saturday from a shelter. She is the sweetest dog I've ever met, so loveable and affectionate. She is very well behaved, although still rather timid. I'm wondering if she's going to come out of her shell more as she...

Deb, I completely agree with you. After having this same elevated levels of TSH and thyroid antibody, it took 2 years, seeing at least 5 different doctors, plus my own investigation and pushing to get any treatment. I'm not really upset about all that I went through to get the answer, just...

Thanks Liz :) Linda, although it does feel good not to get your period, I would look into it if I were you because it can have long term effects on a woman's body including osteoporosis. Good luck :) Doreen

I had posted many months ago regarding my problems with amenorrhea. I received a bunch of good advice and thoughts, for which I was very thankful. I just wanted to give an update on this situation. My period went away in 11/05. I had been on the BCP a couple of times, and it returned...

I just did a great CC mish mosh - here's what it consisted of: CC6 Candace warm up 5:30 steady state 1 3:38 Challenge 1 9:40 steady state 2 3:04 CC4 Challenge 1 8:15 steady state 1 2:49 Challenge 3 11:00 Revised CC2 steady state...

Wow those are some other great ideas. I definitely don't want to make any of them feel unappreciated or instruct them to do anything they don't want to do on the day of my wedding. For my maid of honor in addition to the spa stuff I was thinking of getting her a very nice gym bag (she is a...

Thank you everyone for the great ideas. The spa idea sounds really good as does putting together my own spa package.

Hi everyone, I love this forum and all that everyone here has to say. I've been looking for some creative ideas and thought that this forum might be a great place to get some :) I am getting married in August, and all of the plans have been taken care of except for getting gifts for my...

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. I'm going to try to limit my gum consumption and look into those natural alternatives as well. Doreen

Hi everyone, I chew a lot of sugarless gum. I was wondering if those of you who try to eat cleanly avoid chewing gum and mints altogether or if anyone has found any "clean" varieties of gum/mints. Thanks, Doreen

Thanks cakebaker, that's really good information that you found. Also, thanks for your own experience - I think I'll not worry about this for now. My body seems to be handling my diet OK, so I'll just keep up what I'm doing. Thanks again :)

Hi everyone, I've been eating lots of vegetables, fruits, beans, and other high fiber foods. I realized that I've been getting over 55 grams of fiber a day which seems very high... I have been eating 1/2 c of Fiber One cereal at night just because it's low calorie and filling, so I could cut...

I have also been keeping a similar record. I figured I'd post it in case anyone was interested :) I'm a 28 y/o female, 5'2", 115 lbs and I've also been working out with high intensity workouts for a number of years. These numbers do include any warmup involved, but not cool down since I...

I don't think it requires a lot of maintenance...The manual suggests to wipe it down when you sweat on it, and they included some oil I guess for the pads and stuff, but so far I haven't had to do anything. And yes, you can stand while you pedal.

I recently bought a Lemond Revmaster which is the bike that's used in many of the Spinervals workouts. I love this bike and have had no regrets. I did a lot of research prior to its purchase, and found it to be the best buy for the money. I got it w/free shipping from brandscycle.com. Hope...

Did MIC this morning - hadn't done it in a few weeks due to a hip flexor injury. It definitely kicked my butt.
