Erica, I am 23. I tried alcohol when I was 13, without my parents' permission. In highschool, I was a good kid and never partied too hard. I have a very take it or leave it attitude about drinking. I agree with others that it is unrealistic to expect that your son won't have a drink until he...

I don't know specifics in terms of fat lost/muscle gained, but since beginning GS, I've been able to lift more than I ever have before. My endurance AND strength have greatly improved. I love GS!!!

All right Janie! So, when are you inviting us over lol?

Sooo...I've always enjoyed pilates, but lately it just doesn't feel like a challenge. Since I don't feel like spending money on new videos, I decided to use ankle weights with my current windsor pilates DVDs. Wow. It made such a difference. I could feel my lower abs engaged so much more. Has...

I think this is a good reason not to pay attention to the scale too much! It can vary greatly depending on the time of day you weigh yourself, what you ate teh day before, salt and water intake, and so on.

Nancy lol- you forgot that microfiber bags are animal friendly :)

I don't believe there is a total body stability ball workout. The 2nd segment of Core Max and the Gym Style Legs floorwork use the stability ball in unique ways. For upper body, you can do a lot of the sitting exercises on the ball instead of the step.

KPC and PH :)

That has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. What's next?

Hi all, I'm having some, shall we say, issues, resurface and I think it would be good if I went to a meeting like Al-Anon or ACOA. I am trying to learn about each, and I am wondering if anyone knows what the difference between them is. Thanks!

So glad to hear the procedure went well. Your daughter is one tough kid...and so are you! Do she enjoy arts & crafts, puzzles, board games...things she can do at home this summer?

I agree with Nancy that a classy gift she can keep forever would be much appreciated. I am not sure what your budget it, but treating her to a weekend getaway at a spa (if she's into that) would also be nice. If you live in NYC, how about Atlantic City? By the way Norma, you look absolutely...

Yay Leslie Marie! Keep the endorphins coming, right?

I know REI does hiking/canoeing/climbing outdoorsy type of vacations... http://www.rei.com/adventures/index.html

I think most people would say that you should give your arms a little rest in between lol! However, I've been doing the Gym Style split in the AM with parts of KPC in the PM, and I'm liking it so far.

Too funny! He forgot the Jennifer Beals Flash Dance thing, though!

We can all make little choices everyday that help. We might not be able to save the world, but we aren't powerless. The other day, I was talking to someone who says he doesn't believe in global warming. I wasn't in teh mood for a debate, but i so wanted to pull my hair out!

Hi Dawn, Nice to have you hear. I've never had a child, so I can't give you the most accurate advice. However, in general, losing belly fat is often a matter of clean eating. Have you checked out the fit moms forum? There are some awesome people over there.

I usually give a cold a week before deciding to go to the doc. However, if you are absolutely miserable, going and getting some meds will help you kick it faster. It all depends exactly what kind of thing you've got going on though. Do you think it could be strep or perhaps sinusitis?

Yup- it's an 8 UK, so you need to use their conversion chart.
