    Holly Hunter

    She does look really good, and I don't think that she looks like she's had any surgery. If anything, she may have had a little jaw/neck tightening. Not that she looks fake there, but often by that age, people get just a little loose or jowly in that area. I think that she had twins sometime...

    Depo-Provera & weight gain

    That was me, but I also gained 20 lbs! It was one of the worst mistakes I've ever made. Try the Mirena IUD! It's the best!

    food chains having to post nutritional info

    I think that anyone selling something to be ingested by consumers ought to be prepared to tell said consumers what they are ingesting.

    Professional spray tan?

    It's not the nudity that bothers me, it's the fake color and stink. If there was a really nice color, I'd totally get naked for that.

    What do you wake up to?

    I have a "daylight" alarm clock which I love because it gradually lightens the room for 30 minutes, and then a quiet beep goes off. On my days off, my dog starts whining and licking my toes.

    Children w/Sensitive skin -sunblock recommendation

    I use the Neutrogena Baby Sunblock lotion and stick. The sunblock is physical, rather than chemical. Look for zinc and titanium oxide rather than oxybenzone for sensitive skin.

    Advice

    I don't think that LIS is nearly as intense as LIC, but it is still a good workout. Lately, I've actually been putting LIS and Basic Step Body Fusion into my TLT rotation, but not using a step, and not doing any impact at all. It's actually pretty cool. I compensate by using a lot more floor...

    your favorite natural looking mascaras?

    For the most natural look, I love Neutrogena's Lash Tint. It's actually what I wear when I'm going for the natural look, and what I bought for my 13 year old daughter. It also rinses away really easily and completely, so that if you get super sweaty, or wet, you can just wipe it off easily...

    Flip Flops hurting my feet

    There are lots of cute and supportive sandals out there. You don't need to stick to sneakers, but you should def toss the flipflops.

    Did I really just see this?

    Well, in 5 years, my dog NEVER will poo when she's on the leash, which makes long road trips interesting. Anyway, the other day, when we were on a walk in the neighborhood, she actually did it on someone's lawn. I didn't have a bag with me, because she hasn't done this once in 5 years, so I...

    antidepressants

    Several years ago I took Paxil and Zoloft (not simultaneously) and didn't like how I felt on either. I felt really blah. My libido crashed, and when I actually did feel like having sex, I absolutely could not have an orgasm. That was really depressing. It turns out that I actually had...

    Has PETA lost its mind, or...?

    Penn & Teller's Bullsh*t did a great segment on Peta. Technically, all medicines should be off limits because they have been tested on animals. Also, all vegetable farms use "captive" bees for pollination.

    Doctors say obesity isn't a disability

    Well, I think that drug/alcohol addictions are diseases because the body has severe physical reactions when the chemical substance is taken away. Just because a disease can be either alleviated or cured doesn't mean that it isn't a disease. Many people are cured of cancer and survive. Some...

    Suzuki Grand Vitara Opinions

    Yahoo has a section with car reviews by owners and test-drivers. You can look it up by make and model. I do admire the fact that this model had horrible safety ratings one year, and by the very next model year, it received among the top ratings. Most large car companies would take years to...

    Also, don't eat beans, broccoli, or cabbage before bikini-wearing!

    What type of NB shoes do you wear for step and plyo???

    Why are you looking for NB in particular? I bought the Nike CTR. Love them. Just don't wear running shoes for step!

    Thick Facial Hair - Help!

    I would def go to the doctor to see if you have any hormone issues. Also, I've heard good things about Vaniqua. Laser may take several visits, but if you have the money and time and a light complexion, it may be worth it. Sometimes waxing, threading, epilating, can cause skin irritations...

    Need to vent a little...long(sorry)

    Have you considered Thai Massage? It's a hybrid of yoga and massage. The therapist assists in stretching you and placing you in various yoga type poses and then massages you while in those poses. Make sure that you discuss your issues with the therapist so that they can concentrate on those...

    Advice

    I just got the TLT set (Tracie Long Training) and love it. I'm doing a rotation of functional fitness because of a knee injury. I've also got Muscle Max in the rotation and I'm doing much lower weight than Cathe and the crew. I sub the weighted leg work for unweighted and use the resistance...

    Doctors say obesity isn't a disability

    Wait a second--are doctors at risk of lawsuit for discussing disabilities with their patients? I can see if they breached a confidentiality agreement, but discussing health issues with a patient seems sort of like their job. I do think that with the truly morbidly obese (super obese) there...
