    body fat loss confusion

    Unless you are exercisig for HOURS at a time - like athletes - exercise doesn't burn a whole lot of calores. An "average" sized woman would burn less than 600 calories running at 6.0 mph in 60 minutes. You can easily eat 600 calories in a few minutes, in one meal. People overestimate how...

    thinking about a personal trainer

    I wouldn't do it. I'd rather spend my money on a Bodybugg or a Gowearfit and, I am a certified personal trainer. I went to my old place of employment (24 hour fitness) and saw a woman I used to work with who was struggling to lose weight. She looked the same as she did 2 years ago when I...

    Question about Phantom--the movie

    I have seen both the movie and the stage production and my opinion is that the subject matter - abduction, obsession, child abuse - are all too mature for children under 11 or 12.

    What's one of the nicest things someone's told you about yourself?

    I LOVE it! What kind were they? A co-worker on a different who sees me very rarely told me I light up a room.

    Chipotle

    I stayed away for the same reason - thought it was the same as Baja Fresh - but, it definitely is not! I LOVE the shredded beef, and I rarely eat red meat.

    cancelling BodyMedia (GoWearFit)

    Yep, me, too. I had no problem cancelling. I also kept it for a few months, got an idea of how many calories I burned with various exercises/activities and then sold it to a co-worker. Pam, I am a certified personal trainer and worked for 24 Hour Fitness where we promote the BodyBugg...

    I have an odd question

    ha! Isn't that strange? I thought I was the only one who felt her ribs got wider!! I definitely feel my hips have widened a bit. I am slim-hipped and delivered both my babies vaginally. I actually like that I now have some hips.

    Non-Staining deodorant??

    I've tried Secrets, Dove, Degree, which all claim to be invisible - not even showing up on the little black dress - yeah, right!!! I just noticed I have white power marks under my armpits!! Does such a thing exist?

    The Cove

    Yes, I saw this movie several months ago and cross-posted at several forums. I was very affected by this documentary. My kids watched it with me and we agreed to boycott Seaworld. Those magnificent and intelligent animals should not be held in what is equivalent to a bathtub for them...

    Vasectomies...

    Well, men who refuse or are hesitant about getting the "V", IMO, are being selfish - this is a sore topic for me. My DH said it was the least a man can do for his wife who has gone through the discomfort and pain of carrying and birthing a child/children. Plus, it is such a simple procedure...

    thoughts on the end of life

    Oh, i'm so sorry for your loss. This makes me think of my grandmother who is still alive and very well at almost 90, despite her smoking habit. Then there is my dear, beloved uncle who was just diagnoses with cancer at 64 - a Boston Marathon qualifier, runs 2 marthons a year, volunteers as...

    The hair dilemma

    You and I are hair-sisters. I can't even blow out my hair because it takes too long due to its thickness. I spent about 5 hours and $300 a pop to get my hair chemically straightened for years until my hair cried "uncle", so, I just embraced my waves/curls about 3 years ago. Wouldn't you...

    Unwanted/unsoliciated advice at gym today!!

    "If it was a sexy, ripped guy would the advice be recieved differently?" Doubt it, but it would have been easier on the eyes. Oh, trust me when I say this guy did not have good, "helpful" intentions. He was very condescending. And, I don't give a crap what your story is. We've all got...

    Unwanted/unsoliciated advice at gym today!!

    I can't believe this happened to me!!! I read about this happening to others, but I've never experienced it until today! I went to the gym on my lunch hour - first time ever. I'm thinking I really like the emptiness of the gym and how most of the free weights/benches are available. This...
