    Catheites! Looking for a good pillow for neck/back pain..

    Sorry to hear about your sleep troubles. I went through the same thing a while ago. I tried a buckwheat pillow - terrible. Just completely uncomfortable. What I like most is the memory foam contour pillows. I believe you can get them just about anywhere now. I know they sell higher quality ones...

    Slightly ridiculous body fat question

    I think that is hard to guestimate. Obviously, they are all pretty thin, but just because you are thin doesn't necessarily mean you have low body fat.

    I love REI

    I did get the membership, and I am browsing the site right now to see what I want to use the 10% discount on lol! I am going camping and will probably hike during the day, not all day, but maybe a few hours.

    Good to know; thanks Heather! I picked up their Sahara tees today and a pair of Salomon hiking/water shoes. I haven't hiked in a few years, but I really enjoyed it and would like to start up again. I have also nver been camping but am going in June. So excited!

    OT: At wit's end over dog

    Hi Marie, My seven year old pug still pishes in the house. SOmetimes, at night, he just doesn't feel like going in the yard! You are not a failure, and you should not feel guilty. You have to think of what is best for your family and for your dog. If this means that you eventually have to...

    BuddyBike...A Tandem Bike Designed For Use With Kids

    Reminds me of this... http://images.rei.com/media/780113.jpg It attaches to the adult's bike. I think it is such a cool idea. If I had a kid, I'd be all over it.

    I love REI

    Does anyone shop there? I went for the first time today and loved it. They have such fantastic brands and all sorts of cute workout gear. It reminds me of Nordstrom in terms of customer service. Cool place!

    High Triglycerides

    You are totally right, Michele. I am usually adamant about searching for the best docs. My eye doc, gyn, and dentist are each about 45 minutes away but well worth the trip. I started going to this doc because she was in my mom's HMO plan. I feel like she isn't very thorough. I haven't been sick...

    Cheap Guy???

    My perspective... I'm 23, and I guess I'm kind of modern on this. I think it is unfair if either party has to pay all the time. When you are first dating, I think it is nice to split the bill. If one person says they'll take care of it, the other gets it the next time. If he pays for the...

    High Triglycerides

    Everyone, I just cannot thank you enough for your responses. You have made me feel so much better. Unfortunately, my doc isn't the best. She has never asked me about my lifestyle, so her recommendations are totally generic. I didn't know I was going to be having bloodwork, so I did not fast...

    I figured out why I like Cathe Workouts more....

    ITA! Before I "got into" Cathe, I thought her DVDs were kind of expensive. Now, I know they are a total bargain!

    High Triglycerides

    Well, I'm freaking out. I got a call from my doc's office saying my bloodwork showed high triglycerides. They recommend I eat a low fat diet and exercise more. Now, I'm really confused, because I am a vegetarian, nearly vegan, and already have a low fat diet. Most of the fat I consume is the...

    Eating on a schedule

    I'm not familiar with Cruise's diet, but I know that eating small meals every few hours is excellent for your health (as opposed to eating three big meals a day). IMHO, it can also help prevent overeating, because you maintain a slight fullness throughout the day.

    GS Back - Pull Overs

    Hello everyone, I have noticed that when I do pull overs in GS Back, I feel it more in my chest than my back. I know my form must be off. Any tips? Thanks!
