Wow, congrats on getting to head up the wellness program! Sounds like Emily will have some good ideas. I was one of a committee (of 2:-) ) that ran our wellness program in my former office. We weren't a huge office and had limited funding but here are some things we implimented: Annual...

I use stevia and I really like it. I use it to sweeten tea, coffee, oatmeal and things like that, but I don't use it in recipes. Mainly because I can't find it locally and have to order online, and it is expensive. So I still bake with splenda. If it has a taste at all I think it is sort of a...

I used to use microderm abrasion products on my face some, but I prefer to use acids to exfoliate now. The abraision seems so harsh and it doesn't get to some places very well.

If it's the texture of cooked oatmeal that gets you can you eat it raw in yogurt? In the warmer months that is my favorite way to eat oatmeal.

I eat oatmeat every morning. To keep some variety I prepare it a few different ways: 1/2 cup oats cooked in 3 or 4 egg whites and water. For sweetner I use splenda, stevia, or Walden Farms maple syrup. I put about 1/2 c milk on this. The oatmeal pancake mentioned earlier. Mine is oats...

>The body is designed to slow it's metabolism when calories >become scarce We are great at storing fat for the same reason. > Survival. Yep, and the muscle gets burned up before the fat because muscle is *expensive* for the body to keep around. Muscle burns calories even at rest while fat...

I'm in the *sorry can't help club*! My problem is that I lost a bunch of weight then bought a bunch of new clothes last year. Now I am slowly, very slowly shrinking out of my new clothes. Not complaining that's for sure, I just thought I was at a weight/size I would stay at so I got all new...

I've seen lots of workout bra questions posted but I don't think I've seen this one so here goes. It seems like there are a lot of options for the *full figure* body in the bra world, but there are few for us itty bitty titty folks. (I have a 36/38 chest and an A cup... try and find that...

RE: Oh no! Not my Bare Escentuals! I love the DHC deep cleansing oil too calico. I've been using it for years. I love the way it takes off any makeup and still leaves my skin feeling great.

Like Nancy, I got (first time) married later than anyone I know. When I was younger I just didn't see any need for it. The companionship and support of a good relationship should be the same whether there is a marraige or not. The committment should be there too, marriage or not. I don't...

I had dominance issues with my female pup as well. It wasn't humping, but dominance just the same. My girl was easy to fix but it took consistancy on my part. I would read up on dealing with dominance and get after it right away before it goes anywhere.

Has anyone done or considered a dvd/video for face exercises? (ok don't laugh... me doing a face exercise > x( ). There are a few out there that have me sort of interested so I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried them. There is a program at http://www.flexeffect.com/welcome.htm done by a former...

You do look amazing! And those arms!!! I want those arms! Congrats on the size 4.

I'm with Clare. I'm spent after my lifting and all I want to do is stretch. I do like to do about 15 to 20 minutes of light cardio before I lift though, just as a good warmup. This adds up through the week as cardio and gets me thoroughly warmed for lifting. Then when I do my more intense cardio...

I haven't really found one I like but I have a whole bathroom full of hair products, so I need to end the search for a while. "My hubby has one little corner in the tub!" LOL my shower was getting so out of control with all the stuff (brushes, scrubbies, washes, scrubs, ... you get the...

I did a 12 week rotation that took me 4 months to complete. I have a love/hate realtionship with these workouts. They are different than anything else out there, mostly because you really go at your own tempo and weight for each exercise. I liked that. I was kinda annoyed with the...

This has been one of my favorite sites. I get a kick out of reading her stuff. She is no nonsense and funny. Another site I like is http://www.skwigg.com/. There isn't as much info on skwiggs site but she is funny and it's a nice break from all the other more serious stuff I read all the time.

Those are beautiful! What a happy day. Love your red hair :)

I'm sorry to hear your struggles lesliemarie. Stress can do terrible things to our minds and bodies and it is difficult to control. Aren't you the one that suffers from fibromyalgia? I think you responded when I was talking about my chronic fatigue from the west nile virus. Things like that...

I have a wide foot that is very hard to fit. If I find a shoe that feels good on my feet I go with it, since it doesn't happen that often. Last year I found Mizuno's, they felt sooo good on my feet. I spent more than I wanted to on them but now I see them at Sierra Trading Post and I'm going to...
