I would avoid products containing any form of petroleum like Vaseline because they actually dry your lips out more. Petroleum jelly isn't absorbed by the skin andit provides only a short-term fix for dry, chapped lips. And since it keeps the skin from breathing, it can — if used frequently dry...

I really dislike running too - and found that I keep in great shape doing home exercise/aerobics/weight training. If I don't do soemthing that I enjoy, I am less likely to be consistent with it and consequently, be in worse shape. It doesn't burn as many calories to do aerobics or weight...

Jennifer, I do not know how to answer your question directly. But, I weigh my pasta before I cook it and it weighs approximately double once it is cooked. So, if you are wanting a 6 oz portion, based on the calories etc on your pasta pack, you should cook 3 oz. I honestly think that 1/2 cup...

I haven't had this issue, I can say though, that I did have gall bladder problems for 4 years. They started about 6 months after I began taking the pill when I was 19. I didn't have stones apparently - the gall bladder it just stopped functioning well. Continuing to be on the pill, without...

Please keep in mind, I am offering my experience up as an alternative so that you can have a realistic and honest expectation of what may or may not happen with your pregnancy. Before I was pregnant, I worked out maybe 4-6 days a week depending on the week and my mood at the time. When I...

It is absolutely normal to be nervous - I wake up at night thinking about it - it's this big unknown at this point in my life. But, it is important to be optimistic as well. Good luck with your specialist:) DH and I were going down this route and I was looking at a possible 2 year timeframe...

I'm 33 weeeks pregnant with my first:) I am excited, nervous and how do I deal with it? Hmm..I talk about how I feel with my DH so it doesn't all build up. I also try not to dwell on how my life - otherwise, I would never get to sleep again! It is something I am very happy about, so I try to...

Most of them come with a chest strap. I would make sure that you get the kind that clicks together at the front bound by the sensor. I think it's called a wearlink strap for the polar watch models. there is another, cheaper type of strap (I think called the elasticated strap) that I do not like...

Connie, I don't have any experience with this, but would you be able to visit an obstetrician? I know that they can perform early ultrasounds past 6-7 weeks to check if the baby still has a heartbeat. If it does, and in these cases they frequently do, you need not worry! Once a heart beat has...

hello all moms-to-be:) I haven't checked in for 2 weeks, but we have been out of town visiting sick relatives. Surprisingly, I have been keeping up with my workouts - getting in 3 cardio per week and they do help me to feel better. I just can't motivate myself to do weights for some reason...

I think that going to a therapist,a hypnotist and then a licensed dietician/nutritionist to try to tackle this would help you tremendously. I have never seen a hypnotist for this problem, but one did help me get over a phobia. I think you need to find out why you are binge eating and try to get...

anything by portishead - it's very moody and slow:)

Hi Carola, I agree with the other posters and have also had some childhood experiences with these dogs. I found their enthusiasm a bit aggressive when I was young. My uncles had 3 of these dogs at their farm when I was growing up. I think you should report the bite, but I also think (and I...

I'd recommend the Fantastic Four series - I started using these workouts before any of her others. There are 2 50 min workouts (1 hi-lo, 1 step); and 2 90 minute workouts (1 hi-lo, 1 step)which also contain an interval weights section. They are some of her classics. The only downside to these...

you can highlight your hair during pregnancy, but my midwife suggested that i wait until the 2nd trimester... as for the bleach, i would be very wary of that - wait until the 2nd trimester and speak to your practitioner about it first. in the meantime, i would suggest plucking! not a great...

pumpkin pie, pecan pie and apple crisp:) fall is my favorite time of the year! :9

It is jealousy and immaturity - but also a bit of misunderstanding. I had a similar thing happen recently. After working out for the last couple of years, I got myself down to a size 6 2 years ago. So, when I got pregnant, everyone remarked how 'big' I suddenly looked! It made me realize...

Congratulations on your weight loss, Connie! that's very impressive - 75 pounds is nothing to sneeze at! Also, welcome to the forum:)

hi everyone, I didn't have a great week last week and only got in 2 40 min low impact Cathe cardio workouts. I had a big deadline at work and was working until 10 each night (luckily I could do this from home in the evenings). Now, I am exhausted. This week has been better so far (in...

if you don't like her new workouts, you can cancel the membership...it only charges on a monthly basis. believe me, i like having workouts in a dvd format too - but this seems so convenient to me as well.
