    How Many Days A Week Do you Work Out?

    I work out 3-4 times a week and average 10 hours per week. It generally works out to 2-3 hours per day. I am so tired during the work week that I normally work out 3 hours both Saturday and Sunday and 2 hours per day twice during the work week. BUT....I have done this for years and have...

    Lexapro for depression

    Lexapro has helped me as well. I come from a history of depression and have been on Paxil, Prozac, and Lexapro in the past. When I first started taking Lexapro, the major side effects I experienced were dehydration cramping, a closing of the throat, and nausea. However, these side effects...

    frustrated with lack of progress

    Although I have never smoked, I completely understand being frustrated when you work out a lot amd fail to lose weight. I work out 10 hours+ a week (30 miles running) + (weights and cardio) and if I do not strictly watch the calorie (and alcohol) intake I maintain my weight and never ever lose...

    Perfume at the gym

    I also would prefer perfume over body odor. The rationale of not wearing deoderant because it is healthier for the body to sweat is a little bit of a stretch. Even if you wear deoderant/anti-perspirant under your arms to control odor, you will not inhibit your ability to sweat elsewhere...

    What's the wierdest thing you've seen at the gym?

    Just a side note but I most often go to the gym in full makeup because I am coming from work where it is expected to look a certain way. Not all women going to the gym in full makeup are full of themselves or aren't willing to work hard. I typically run 6 miles at a time at the gym and go to a...

    cardio vs. weight training to control weight?

    I lost 50 pounds with 5 hours cardio, 3 hours weights per week. But as I closed in on my goal weight, I lost muscle mass because I ran long distances and my muscle mass was compromised. Muscle mass makes your body look better and burns more calories while at rest. Keep lifting!!

    Alec Baldwin rant

    I would think many parents would be upset or embarrassed at the thought that their personal discussions or comments with their children would be made public for scrutiny. Parents are humans and say things they don't necessarily mean out of frustration. My parents called me a spoiled brat...

    Question for the Runners Out There

    Your body will adjust in time. When I first started running I had perpetual tight calves, hip flexor soreness, and hamstring tightness. Prior to running I did advanced Cathe and Christi aerobics and was very frustrated at the soreness I was experiencing. Now, I never have soreness no...

    Running Shoes

    Hi, I need a little assistance. I love my Saucony Shadow 9 shoes and have promptly worn them out. Two years later I am still wearing the same fricking shoes, with 2 blown out heels, and two holes near my foot. I know I am like a year and a half past the time for replacing shoes at 30 miles...

    Would you be upset?

    I think a one on one discussion with your husband is appropriate here. Ask him about the movies, reiterate the money situation, and talk the whole thing through. Porn is not a big deal, unless you make it one. The overwhelming majority of men like porn.............the percentage of women...

    Intervention

    I really like the show. I am also very amazed that the typical person on the show seems to have incredible potential many times but still feels the need to overmedicate. Society often views drug addicts as poverty stricken, uneducated losers but this show demonstates that people in...

    Chewing and Spitting?

    Oh sweetie, You are so not alone. My mother is 5'5" tall and weighs 99 pounds. For many, many years she would chew food and spit it out. As a young child, I often "caught" her doing this and she would say she ate a bad nut but over time I realized what was happening. Please talk to...

    Do you become more confrontational when you get older?

    Totally, I think when you are younger, you want to get along and not rock the boat because you have less life experience. But when you reach a certain age, you're like geez dude stop being an *sshole! People often get away with murder and it take someone like you to put them in their place.

    Do you consider yourself high maintenance?

    Wow, I never thought I was high maintenance until I read this post. I take a hour to get ready everyday and I never leave the house without makeup. I get my nails done once a week but I do them myself. I self-tan twice a week and I color my hair every 4 weeks. I do save $$$$ though since...

    Our employees are SO RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!

    Posters should not be discredited or called a troll because thay don't post very often. Many have valid points but aren't compelled to "speak" until something comes up they feel strongly about. And.......Perhaps in this post you didn't offer specific details but I for one have seen the link...

    Famous Daves Self Tanning lotion

    I have purchased it through ebay and did not care for it at all. There is no color guide so it is difficult to see where you are putting it and the color (once developed) is no better than any other brand I have used. Also, it seemed to dry out my skin and make it itchy. The one benefit is...

    Anyone with Crohn's

    My mother had ulcerative colitis for 20 years before eventually having her colon removed as a result of a performation from an annual exam. Her doctor advised her to eat bland foods because rough foods (highly fibrous) can cause irritation and bleeding. She was not able to eat raw...

    Why is it that women have to make comments?

    Not every woman is jealous and insecure. If you receive multiple comments from multiple people than there may be an appropriateness issue. BUT most women in my office are forever checking out other women and criticizing because they are insecure in their own bodies. They never workout and...

    PLEASE help me buy a spin workout video

    I really like Spinervals 1.0 "No Slackers Allowed". It is approx. 45 minutes and is very, very intense! I have numerous other Spinervals videos but this one is tough and fun!
