A good site that was recommended to me (by KathyS) was www.help4adhd.org. No chat room but you can ask questions and there's a link to CHADD. Another site that has a forum is The Amen Clinic www.amenclinic.com. Good site for info but I'm not impressed with the forum. HTH Alexis

I'm excited because I'm choreographically challenged too. I've always used a treadmill or bike for cardio. I can just zone out that way but still get a good workout. And I'm a "good dancer"! Took ballet and tap into my thirties! I tried some of Cathe's later step stuff and laughed until I...

I'm a mineral make-up ho! I've never tried BE but many people with oily skin or combo skin find that it has a shine fairly quickly. I've used Jane Iredale pressed and used it for years. Both of the above contain bismuth which accounts for the shine to the minerals when applied. It also can...

RE: Well, I love nuts, and I have a question Where is Lewis Carroll when I need him? Jabberwocky, anyone? Maybe Jo can come up with a little ditty for the occasion. Obviously, you two had some free time today and I am jealous! Alexis

Now here's a topic I'm an expert in. Not really, but at 54, I have some experience. The two books (Lee and Git.) are excellent. At 51 I started using the natural progesterone cream and it helped quite a bit. I, also, added soy to my diet and I think that helped even more. I used to get...

Very exciting!! Where's that credit card? Are you going to sell sweatshirts too? I'd like my custom order to be a zip-up hooded sweatshirt but a pullover hoodie will do. :) Alexis

RE: One more thing and I swear I'm done It's really like a low hassock. As opposed to a cossack who can do that really cool dance. You could roll up a bunch of towels or a blanket and get the same effect. Unless you want to spend money, then that's another story. If you're going to do that...

That's another good suggestion! I came up with my own solution....have one of you do them for me. ROFL Alexis

Nancy, I'm not sweating, I just have glasses that slip in general. Some days I'm lookin like a pro doing lunges, and other days, well it's spaz-attack. But you have a good point. I'll check to see if the lunge is too wide and that my feet aren't on the same plane. Good news though. My...

Well, spastic is the word. So am I spasticy? I like spazy better. Made it up myself! Alexis

Gee Janice, so glad I could make your day! I do stand-up too. But really, it's not funny....it's pathetic! I get sweaty, the glasses slip and I'm trying to push them back up with a barbell across my shoulders. And no....I am not wearing that dorky elastic thingy to hold them up! :) Alexis

RE: Bobbi -- Yoga Authority???? What fort?!? Are you serious? It's the fort that friends built, you silly goose! Now don't go getting all carried away with Bobbi-karma. LOL Kathy, if I said Namaste to my family, they'd kick me in the rear and tell me to keep my serenity to myself. Lucky...

Some days, I am a major spaz-attack when I do lunges. Maybe because my glasses slip and I'm off balance. I dunno. My question is, on those spazy days, could step-ups be substituted for lunges? Am I hitting the same muscle group in the same way? Thanks, Alexis

I don't revisit Power Hour cuz it's always visiting! This has always been a fav of mine and I use it once a week. I like that my entire bod feels totally worked. However, I jump to the abs and do those first. Too beat to do them at the end. After a PH session, I usually do a medium light...

RE: One more thing and I swear I'm done I wrote this wonderful witty reply and it wouldn't connect to post. So you lose. Sent ya an email instead. Let's go exercise - Alexis

RE: P.S. from Kathy S. Kathy, my friend, I thank you! For some reason I'm not registered at VF, probably because I haven't posted in a long time? I dunno. In any case, I can read it, but it won't let me post to ask questions or give my expertise (LOL). Isn't it a great yoga group? They...

Let's see.. 1. I'm 54 and look pretty good for my age. 2. Live in the Chicago burbs for 10 years and got used to it. LOL In previous ten years lived in CT, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maryland. 3. Discovered I was ADD last year after my 16 yr old son was diagnosed. 4...

That makes two of us who want to know! Alexis

I can't get on to the VF site where they've been discussing the new DVD by Erich for beginners. Have any of you tried it? I know that he's a wonderful instructor but his DVD is 1hr 17 mins. Do any of you know if the practice can be made shorter and still get a well rounded chill? I'm also...

Thanks Kathryn! Been talking to some friends who say the stability ball is the way to go also. My neck is fairly strong but I have two fused discs and a titanium plate. One of the discs didn't fuse very well so it may cause problems in the future (requiring surgery again). That's why I'm so...
