When you get used to it, you will really prefer your barbell over your dumbbells for squats. I hated the way the dumbbells dug into my shoulders and was uncomfortable holding them up. When you find the comfortable position across your upper back for your barbell, you won't even need the pad...

I was also going to mention the added weight of the barbell - You need to place the bar across your trapezius muscles, avoiding the spine. You probably feel a discomfort in your elbows, not exactly pain? I had this problem and have heard of other women with the same problem when they...

lesliemarie - I am so sorry you are going through this. I was a rebellious teenager and know I caused my parents heartache. I agree about keeping the lines of communication open and let her know EXPLICITLY that you will always be there for her and love her. But, since she is 18 and...

If you DO decide on getting supplements, look on the bottle and call the manufacturer - it will usually say "sold and distributed by _______", so call and ask for the manufacturer. Then, ask the manufacturer if the products are created there or if it is outsourced. Buy only from...

You know, I go through cycles. I do really well eating "clean" and then a special occasion or the holidays roll around, I start eating sweets/pastries (my weakness) and I'll eat junk for a while, get sick of it, eat clean again until another special occasion/holiday. How do you NOT give in...

If you can already run 10-11 minutes at 8 or 9 mph, then you cannot do HIIT on your treadmill, even at level 10. For true HIIT, you should be going as hard as you can, working anaerobically, where you are panting for breath. For most people who are not athletes, you can go anaerobic for...

>That is hilarious! > >But here is something for us to think about - Men go bald. > >Anyone want to trade places? > I would LOVE to be bald. I would shave my head in a minute if it was socially acceptable for women to have shaved heads. Yes, I have bad hair days on most days. This...

As a woman who grew up with a verbally abusive father, let me assure you that verbal abuse is just as bad (if not worse) than physical. Physical scars heal. Emotional scarring - not so much. My two brothers and I are still, as adults in our 40s, reeling and coping with the verbal abuse...

As someone who just got a puppy 3 months ago (seems like 3 years!) they are TONS of work. Actually, one the reasons I switched careers is because our family really wanted a dog. My new job schedule is a lot more accommodating for a puppy. This puppy has really changed the way we live our...

I ALWAYS replace the inserts that come with the shoe with the thicker inserts.

Carola - I was so happy to read that your story had a happy ending! Tuxedo is one lucky boy!

Kinda tough to say with the info you've given. Are you sedentary all day excluding your 1 or 1.5 hour of exercise? How tall are you? How long have you been on this plateau? Were you ever losing? I also ask if you are indeed eating 2,000 calories? I just started calorie counting a...

I see no reason why this couldn't be used outside. It's made of plastic. The company is in the UK, and I emailed a question and the owner actually called me personally to respond. I really hope this takes off in the US. I just hated using those pee pee pads, but the newspaper wasn't...

If you have a smaller dog and use pee pee pads or your dog eliminates inside your home/apartment, you should check out this alternative: www.ugodog.net I think it's a great, environmentally-conscious alternative. I haven't received mine yet, but will post if anyone is interested.

I will be 42 this July and I had some spotting last year. Now, I get all the anticipated PMS, but no period. I didn't even think to worry - I haven't had a check up in over 2 years. I'll be calling my doc tomorrow, but I think I'm going through some "changes."
