Jackie, What kind of eye makeup and eyemakeup remover do you use? I had this same problem, but switched brands about 6 months ago and now my lashes are much better. It is important to use a remover that conditions your lashes, just like you would condition your hair. Tina

One other suggestion is if you take your stroller, ask for gate-to-gate check through. They will take if from you just as you board the plane and then when you land, it will be waiting for you at the gate as you get off the plane. Good Luck! I am getting ready to take an 8-hour drive with...

Tricia, I definitely depends on what size you are. I have been wearing a style by Champion for about 10 years. I have not purchased any other sports bras since I found this style. Your best bet is to check out Title 9 sports. They give excellent descriptions of several bras and tell you...

Hi ladies, I haven't posted here much lately since my baby isn't much of a baby anymore, but I do check in frequently to see what is going on. Any way, with warm weather coming I just want to share an experience I had while I was pregnant to remind you of the importance of staying...

Fitnut, I am so there with you! My 19-month old and I have to fight over who get the step. In between sets, I have to remove tractors and cows from my step. The best is when I lay down to do ab work and he wants to sit on my chest. If you think you have had a tough ab workout, try...

I agree on the cross-body kick backs to work the "inner" tricep. I know she does them in PS CST.

My 18-month old Jilliana, Our 18-month old still sleeps with us too and I have to sneak out of bed and hope he doesn't wake up! And I know what you mean about the nap. I have learned that I can to strength work while he is awake, but never cardio. Of course I have to put up with a little...

Kim, Just a few more suggestions about morning workouts -- 1. Pick a realistic workout schedule for you. Meaning you don't have to workout 5 or 6 days a week. You could get up early only 2 mornings a week and get in a couple workouts on weekends and that would still give you 4 workouts...

1. I'll agree with many others about another Kickboxing! 2. There seem to be so many new Cathe enthusiasts asking for advice on the forum of where to begin. I don't think you should necessarily make a lower intensity cardio for them, but possibly an updated workout where you go back and...

I am not a natural runner either, but now I love it for cross-training and I run an few 5K's a year, just for kicks! I have come a long way since I first started running I got a treadmill last year for Christmas and it makes a big difference because I can run any day I want to, not just when...

Hope you like the Saucony's. That is the exact shoe I wear and they are perfect for me. Glad to hear you spent the extra $ and you could tell the difference. Good Luck with the running, any 5K's in the future? Tina

Hi all, I have been trying to decide on a new rotation for myself and really considering what changes I need to make to try to thin down my thighs. I have a very athletic build with strong legs and despite all of my best efforts, I will probably never have "thin legs." That being said...

My best recommendation is to go to Road Runner Sports website and use their shoe finder feature (I think it is called Shoe Dog). You can tell them about your foot structure and what your goals are and they will recommend the shoes that work best for you. You may want to take those...

Kathy, I use my full-size step right now and I have to push it up against a wall or heavy piece of furniture to keep it from sliding. I assume you are on carpet like me and the sliding will probably still be a problem when the "high step" is available. Just a suggestion. Tina

I haven't posted on the FitMoms forum in forever, since my guy is now 18 months and not really a baby. But, give me a chance to brag and I will jump all over it. Lately he has a infatuation with my dumbells and plates. I try to keep them hidden and explain that they are mommy's toys, but...

Jen, Just want to fill you in on how I have incorporated running into a rotation. I adjust my rotation if the weather is just too nice and I feel like running. I also have a treadmill, so that allows me to run even when the weather is bad, but I much prefer to run outside. Here is my...

Just a little bit of trivia here, I am no expert on this subject, but one of my Psychology professors used to encourage us to yawn in class. He said that it is the body's way of helping to get the extra oxygen that it needs to maintain alertness. What he said was that you don't yawn because...

I have been a die-hard Ryka fan for several years, until they introduced the Supra. I had a pair and used them for a few weeks and returned them. They didn't seem to have the support or cushion of the previous Ryka models. I loved the Evolution, but you can't get it anymore. The Ryka Stylus...

I have the Medela Double Ease. It is a step down from the Pump in Style. It woked great and I would recommend it, but not for everyday use. I think the suction action is different from the Pump in Style and when I started using it on a daily basis, my milk supply decreased and I was never...

Tammy, I haven't posted to the forum in a very long time, but your situation has prompted me. I had my first child in October and went through some of the same emotions that you are. First of all--talk to your doctor about the stress and emotions. I can't give you any advice on specifically...
