Power Foods by Liz Applegate Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook Food Guide for Marathoners by Nancy Clark (if you get irritated by typos, you might want to skip this one, but if you don't get it, most of the information is also in the Sports Nutrition Guidebook. This one is just...

Thanks for sharing your story! I work out because it seems to regulate everything for me. It helps my moods and keeps my muscles loose. I stiffen up terribly if I take more than a couple of days off. I'm also starting to get stronger, thanks to the PS series. I think our bodies are designed...

I like to sleep in as much as possible (plus, my shift starts at 4am), so I exercise within an hour of getting home... around 1pm. On my old shift, I worked out at about 10pm. I'm fiercely protective of my workout time (whenever it ends up being... yesterday, I worked out at 5pm) yet I'm also...

Good luck. I admire you for making this tough decision.

I would like to see a choice of at least black and white for each item... Baby-doll- scoop neck, cap sleeve, hipbone length Fitness shorts- slightly loose, 4" inseam (short, but not uncomfortably so), black, drawstring Sweatpants- yoga style with the loose band at the bottom, slightly...

RE: Losing weight with thyroid problems- Lisa, that author is right that self-diagnosing is not a good thing. Unfortunately, sometimes we're driven to it by doctors who just don't care. I had no idea what a thyroid was when I got really ill. I actually lost weight very quickly in a short...

Congratulations! Wonderful job! I hope to finish a marathon once I lose some weight.

I don't care what color my step is (I have the black and gray Reebok), but it drives me nuts that my 3 and 5 pound dumbbells are old heavy hands with the red stuff coming off. I really want hex weights for that size, but I need 15s first, since I don't have any 15s at all. Oh, well, they do...

Lisa, I don't know if you saw this, but about now says that endocrinologists are saying TSHs between 3 and 5.5 could be too high and might need treatment. Mine was at 4.9 last time I was tested, but I'm gunshy after my doctor sent me for a bunch of tests that ended up costing me $700 and...

Although I suspect that certain people are sensitive to soy, I don't think soy is evil for most people. I believe I am intolerant to it, because I get extremely painful joints when I eat most soy-based products. I used to drink Slim-Fast a lot, and after they added soy to their products, I...

I'm being forced to take a break from cardio, so I'm focusing a lot more on flexibility. The tapes I'm using are Method Toning Essentials (I always feel tall and willowy when I'm done, and I'm hardly that), Method Target Specifics (this one is new), Yoga for Flexibility, and Total Yoga. I...

RE: I thought this was amusing. I am an American and I ... I'm a smiler, too. The other options are to ignore the person or to glare, and I just can't bring myself to do that. The town I currently live in is a non-smiling town, so every time I go somewhere else, I'm surprised and grateful to...

Bad Knees Rotation I seem to have hurt my knees badly on this rotation... so here is my new Upper Body/ Pilates Rotation. Monday- Method- Precision Toning Tuesday- Yoga for Flexibility- Backbends Wednesday- PS BBA & CST Thursday- Method- Pilates Friday- Total Yoga Saturday- Yoga for...

">Starving the body does not produce lasting weight loss." Well, I can definitely attest to the truth of THAT! I had been considering raising my calories to 1800, but now I'm wondering if that should just be an intermediate step. Thanks for the info!

RE: The New Calorie Chart is in!!! Please check this ou... I think this is crazy-- at least for me. I have never been able to lose weight by eating more than 1800 calories (and I exercise a lot more than a 30 minute walk 5 days a week.) Now, I have to eat less than 1200 calories to lose weight...

I love the music in Imax- especially the steel drum part and the Indian-sounding music. I did this one yesterday for the first time in more than a year and was amazed at how well I did, but I'm definitely not ready for Imax 2!!

RE: Just a couple of thoughts to add here... Thank you, Barbara, for saying what I wanted to say and saying it so nicely.

Deborah, before I saw your post I was also going to point out that there are several modifications on the PS series. There are also points in the CTX series where she mentions good modifications (though if I need a mod, I take it, whether it's mentioned or not.)

Deborah, I saw these pictures from another thread and wondered why your shirt was inside out. Wise move. GO EAGLES! Hehe. :D
