    I'm thinking of Chalean Extreme - opinions?

    I'll be the lone naysayer. I think many of the moves Charlene does can aggravate any pre-existing condition and create some that are not there. I have an issue with my sciatic nerve and the way she does lunges and other moves really bothered it - as have others - do a check on Videofitness for...

    Do ALL men cheat in Vegas?

    My coworker just got back from Vegas. I KNOW he did not cheat - he's not the type at all, although he did own up to seeing a few topless women. :P

    Just when I thought I knew what I was doing...

    I think the article is more true than not true, but confusing and misleading in how it says it. I don't expect that if I do and exercise (HIIT or a long bike ride or run, weight lifting) that my metabolism is revved the rest of the day so I can have a free for all with my eating. I don't think...

    pedicure problems

    I absolutely recommend going half a size up in a shoe. When you first try them on, your feet are relaxed. After a run, they are swollen and enlarged. Giving yourself extra room in the shoes will accommodate the swelling. Also make sure you go shoe shopping at the end of the day, not the...

    I think credit card cos. are going insane!

    Bank of America did this to my DH. He called them and they readjusted it. I think a lot of the banks are just seeing what they can get away with.

    I think credit card cos. are going insane!

    Chances are if you call to complain, they will lower the rate again. They don't want to lose credit worthy customers. If they don't, consider getting a major bank card where they will allow you to transfer balances for 0% interest for 1 year - that's a good deal - Bank of America did this for...

    Custom of the Country

    I'm not reading any of the notes here yet. I am in the process of finishing another book (will finish tonight) and then I'll move to Custom of the Country - reading the first responses here made me HAVE to get it. :D

    Interesting article for those who eat soy

    I have thyroid nodules which appear to just be annoying bumps, no cancer that they have found, and my thyroid levels are normal, but obviously, I was curious about what I could do, eat, etc, in order to shrink them, prevent more from coming, or to simply keep my thyroid regulated. My doctor -...

    Clean Eating -- Please clarify

    I find I can actually eat MORE and still lose weight if I'm eating very clean. My body just processes the food better, knows it will get the nutrients it needs, so there's no need to hold on to anything. NOw more is not 2000 calories more - but I do find that 100-200 calories more does not make...

    Kettlebell ~ calories burned?

    Well, how many calories you burn during a work out depends on so many factors. I can tell you that AOS Providence when I use a heavy bell and work it, burns as many calories for me as IMax 2. YMMV (your mileage may vary)

    Shawn T's Insanity = CrossFit?

    It's Beachbody and they do not do pre-orders - it will be released this summer some time. I know it comes with 10 workouts and a nutrition guide. There is a lot of buzz about it on the video fitness forums.

    Shawn T's Insanity = CrossFit?

    It's more of an intense bootcamp style workout. You do really intense drills for time, and have rest periods. He does use body weight for muscle toning, but it's not really like Cross Fit. I'm on the fence about this one. I know the exercises are short and intense and the teaser sent out with...

    Fashionista help!

    Actually it does - if you look at the last photo - it's a skirt. My coworker's mother got this for a trip to Europe and got a lot of use out of it.

    Sleep bra?

    Another fan of the Victoria Secret bra without underwire. I'm a C cup and this gives me the lift I need. And it's comfy. I own about 5 of these! This is the one I swear by -...

    Fashionista help!

    Oh, that is cute! I'm bummed it's not available!! Athleta does have a dress that doubles as a skirt but it's not as cute as this one. I hope someone does find something similar - I'm interested too!

    Running question

    I get side cramps if I run with a Camelback - which is odd because I've climbed/hiked many mountains with it and have had it on for 18 hours without a problem while hiking. I don't know what the issue is. So, I just carry a bottle with me and make sure my path crossed water fountains if I need...

    ? for you current/former weight watchers...

    Whoa! I've found the exact opposite to be true. If I eat 26 points - it's the equivalent of around 1300/1400 calories. You must have been eating many many 0 point foods!

    Athleta sizing

    I'm with Nancy - I ADORE Athleta. My office is fairly casual, but I like to look a little more dressed, so I wear a lot of their more casual skirts with camis and cardigans and they are perfect - I am not over dressed, but I look more professional than I would in jeans. And their material is...
