    OPRAH'S TALKING ABOUT HER WEIGHT, AGAIN!

    Actually, I think her yo-yo dieting and weight issues is discouraging to the average woman. They're likely to think "If she can't do it with all the resources available to her, what chance do I have?"

    what happens to muscle when you stop lifting?

    Your muscles will atrophy (shrink) from dis-use. And, yes, I've read we do have "muscle memory."

    What to do if your child is being picked on

    I absolutely agree with this post. IF your son wants to play a team sport, I think you should encourage him to keep trying and stick it out because there IS value in team sports. And, I do not agree that he should avoid sports altogether. I do not agree with promoting a sedentary...

    Hard Boiled Eggs

    Cynthia - omgosh! I was about 12 or 13 years old and boiling some eggs to color them for Easter. I pulled one out and the yolk was not cooked, so rather than cooking them longer, I threw the whole dozen out and boiled ANOTHER dozen! Boy, was my mother pissed when she saw those eggs in the...

    smoothie maker

    BlendTec!!!! I can't say enough about this machine! (I tried the Magic Bullet and returned it after one use.) My blender just couldn't crush the ice and cleaning was such a hassle. It was almost $300 from Costco. I thought the price was outrageous, but after the demonstration, DH and I...

    Baby Eczema--Help!

    oh, my, this question brings up some very traumatic times for me as both of my children suffered from eczema. And, indeed it is one leg of a triad - eczema, asthma and allergies - but, not aways. We tried every lotion made. We even got some stuff from overseas. I was all over the internet...

    Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment Done!

    Hi Suz, I used to get the Japanese hair straightening but stopped because of the time and cost, so I was very intrigued by your post. I've never even heard about Brazilian Keratin Treatment (BKT I guess it's called). But, I did a google search and came up with some concerns which I don't know...

    OT: Is a new kitchen "necessary"? Opinions please.

    This sentence, for me, is key. I am not a cook, but renovating our kitchen 3 years ago is the best thing we've done because it makes MY life easier and makes MY life comfortable. I cook more often since the new cooktop totally rocks and the ventilating fan is so efficient. Our kitchen...

    Any personal trainers out there?

    I am an AFAA certified personal training working at 24 Hour Fitness and LOVE my job. I plan on getting the CSCS or one of the NASM's advanced certifications. Being around Cathe's "educated crowd", it really is amazing to me how clueless people are about fitness. I think only 1 or 2 out of...

    Help, my neighbor wants to convert me! (a bit long)

    >>>>>>but it was funny, he showed himself to be a hypocrite right off the bat. He made a derogatory comment about my next door neighbor Ted. Speaking as a Christian, this sentence above would have upset me and I would have called him on it. Christians are sometimes the worst offenders, as...

    Best machine for hamstring and butt..

    You ARE actually working your hamstrings when you run and walk on an incline. I'm not a fan of isolating machines, but I guess you could use the hamstring curl machine.
