    Do you wear perfume?

    I love perfume and I love smelling different scents on different people. Not to sound bias, but most women I know that take the time to spray on a fragrance are typically more put together with regard to their hair, their make-up, their clothes, etc. Many might say "high maintenance" but they...

    Canine Cancer Treatments - Has anyone dealt with?

    Hi sweetheart- I send hugs as well. My little Lhasa baby was diagnosed with breast cancer at approximately age 7. She kept urinating on the bed or in her cage which is very unusual for a dog. I was rubbing her tummy one day and noticed a lump aroung her middle stomach. We took her to the...

    Bathing suit depression.....

    Wow, I was just reading your reply Sarah and I must say I truly appreciate it! I am 10 days away from 32 and 10 pounds from where I should be. I too am in a self-imposed funk. I am completely tired of always being 10 pounds overweight, having to buy clothes to cover this or accentuate...

    Chubby daughter

    I will first preface this by saying I am not a mom but I understand what it is like to be in a household where weight is scrutinized. My mom is borderline anorexic at 5ft 5in and barely 100 lbs. As a child, I was validated when I was underweight at 5ft 8in 125 lbs and comments were made if my...

    The Amazing Race!!

    Amber & Rob were the favorites from the beginning! Glad to hear the other couple won. I think I read that they declared bankruptcy just prior to the race so I am sure the $$ will be put to good use!

    I ran my first 5k!

    Awesome Job!! I am battling nervousness over my first race ever, a 10K in two weeks. I normally run inside on a cushioned track, so you can imagine my surprise yesterday running outside for the first time in warmer than I am used to temperatures! The self doubt is starting to set in...

    Body Jewelry on QVC

    Just wanted to let you guys know that I saw a few belly button rings on QVC.com that were around the $30 - $35 range. They were 14KT gold too! I have always found the quality of QVC's jewelry to be top-notch! Pretty affordable for 14k if you ask me.

    Stretch marks....is it possible to get rid of them?

    Hi there, I have stretch marks from gaining and losing 40+ pounds a couple of times. I also purchased Strivectin in the past and I am unsure that the results justify the cost. It is over $100 a tube! The cream does not make the marks go away although they do appear slightly less...

    Too Much Sodium?

    Cellulite is a funny thing. I often find that if my diet is high in sodium or carbs I retain more water and the cellulite on the back of my thighs looks worse. If I eat clean, drink plenty of water, and avoid sodium, my legs look tight and ripped! It's funny how quickly diet can impact the...

    Need Advice about Running

    Okay folks, I finally completed a 10K today at the gym. I am very happy with that accomplishment; however, it takes me forever to complete the run! I am almost embarassed to say that it takes me an hour+ to finish. The odd thing is that I consider myself to be an advanced exerciser for over 2...

    Why cant I run?......

    Don't Fret! I worked out to Cathe and such for 3+ years and just recently (within the last few months) started training for a 10K. Honestly, I have considered myself to be an advanced exerciser for the last 3 years but I find that the running is a whole other story! I am now up to 5 miles...

    Really embarrassed but need support!

    Hey Hon I occasionally suffer from oral herpes breakouts and honestly with anit-virals and creams, outbreaks can be reduced or eliminated substantially! I always laugh at people who shun people who suffer from any kind of herpes outbreaks because the majority of the population of the US have...

    Does this happen to anyone else???

    On a similar note, I work with a lot of people who are full of criticism over my 2 diet cokes per day. They tell me I am going to die of a brain tumor, get cancer, etc. Ironically, they seem to think their smoking, nightly consumption of alcohol, sedentary lifestyle, and atrocious eating...

    Question about running

    Thanks so much for the suggestions! I will look into the touch-devices as I think they will be easier for me. I always hated running but am finding I have more endurance than I thought. Once you push through the first mile, the rest seems so much easier. I have so much respect for anyone...

    Calf Raises?

    I feel the burn literally within 30 seconds of calf raises. My calves initially seem pumped at first but within a day they slim back down and seem more defined. I must say that this is the one exercise that makes me feel like I want to barf. I cannot stand them but the definition seems...

    Question about running

    I need a good chicken recipe

    I really like the Woozie recipe on the Heins Worchester sauce bottle. Add 1/2 light italian dressing and 1/4 Worchester sauce to one pound of chicken pieces. Salt and pepper to taste. Let marinade overnite and grill until cooked. Add to salad. The chicken turns out very tender and...
