Yes...I get this ALL the time. At every family get together the focus is ALWAYS about what is on or not on my plate. I've learned to not buy into it anymore. I just let my family or my in-laws make their comments and I just smile. I used to explain myself, but those days are over!! I find it...

Cathe..thank you so much for the update! I am so glad, no more than YOU I'm sure, that they were able to diagnose you and treat you accordingly! We are all so grateful for that. You are our shining role model in fitness and also in how to take good care of yourself when you are injured...

A fork is a must!!:-)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! So happy for you and your family. Take good care of yourself and I hope you get to enjoy every minute of it!!!

I love to eat it plain or with fruit...strawberries, cantelope, honeydew melon and most often..pineapple. I also like to spread it (plain) on a layer of toasted, thin, wheat bread. I like that when I need a little crunchiness. I've gotten some great new ideas from this thread that I...

Very informative, Honeybunch. Thanks so much for sharing!

Great idea, Melody. A friend forwarded this to me today, ironically. So, I'd like to share it with all of my "Cathe" friends. It's called Tequila and Salt. 1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way...

So happy to hear it went better! Good for you. Dealing with these situations is unfortunately part of being an instructor.

Hi Kathleen, The types of personal training certifications really run the gamut. At the gym where I work, AFAA and ACE certifications are the most common. Some trainers have bachelors degrees in exercise physiology. I, personally, am a registered nurse and I got my aerobics and personal...

Carolyn, I'm reading this post kind of late, so I'm sure you already handled your self with grace and style. I'm wondering how it went for you. I just wanted to add that I can so relate to this, and I give you so much credit for continuing to sub. I subbed for an instructor at my gym who...

RE: Heart Rate Hi Susan, My resting heart rate is around 62. During my most difficult workouts, it goes up to 160-165. I usually do two cardio workouts per week in this zone. And I do another three cardio workouts in the 140-150 zone. During interval workouts, my heart rate vasolates...

RE: Im new, Question about Slimmingmom...just wanted to say I think you look FABULOUS!! You've really accomplished a lot in a year. You have gotten a lot of great advice here. I, too, lift heavy for upper body and work my lower body everyday but use my own body's resistance instead of...

Gym mom...I definitely think you are on to something here!!!!!:-) :-)

Delfin...I too feel the same about my lower abs. I had to have a hysterectomy when I was 25 (I'm 41 now) and also had several laparotomies before that. I'm proud that I've worked hard and really improved that area, but it will never be flat without surgery. When I severely limit my calories...

Hi, Phyllis...I keep my step, weights, ball, and other equipment behind our sofa, as it does not fit underneath of it. And I just have an area rug over hard wood floors as well. I use a rug remnant to save the area rug and also as a shock absorber. Personally, I love to have the workout...

That was a great article. Thanks for sharing it!:-)

Glad you all enjoyed the article and thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

I came across this article today on the MSN Health & Fitness website. I found it interesting and just wanted to share it with all or you. Just my opinion, but I think most of us probably already do what is suggested in the article as far as weight training is concerned. But I think it's...

Anne, That is terrible. You have no reason to feel embarassed as it's not your fault, but I do understand what you mean about family members being jerks. Don't know if it will help, but I can share my current family story that has me very embarrassed and torn about what to do. My younger...

My husband likes to ride his bike as well, and he likes to go for walks in the park with me and our dogs. But his favorite past time is golf. He used to work out in a gym many moons ago when he was younger but won't step foot in one now.
