I'm hoping that Heigl will be a surprise in a good way .... I, too, could picture Sandra Bullock, but Heigl has some good comedic timing in her movies (different than her whiney Grey's character). She seems to be able to make fun of herself pretty well. But there can be NO whining in a...

Hi Pippa .... I am a vacuum fanatic. By this I mean, it seems that I am always on a quest to find the perfect vacuum. I was fortunate enough to have central vac for years, but once that wasn't available I had a Hoover, a couple Eurekas, a Bissell ... all great at first, then completely...

Gorgeous beach! I can't remember that we swam much because it was fall and a hurricane had just gone up the eastern seaboard, but we stayed at the RV park there, right on the ocean. I'd love to go back.... it's so lovely.

We have a sort of hybrid system at our house (2 DDs, ages 9 & 10): Chores that contribute to the family (i.e. not paid!): pick up their rooms (or any others that have their stuff in them) make their beds every morning put their own dishes in the dishwasher at meals take out the trash...

Jonezie, you are da bomb!

Wow! Nice comeback. Glad you were able to do what you set out to do!!!

Definitely have your hormone levels checked and make sure they test each hormone individually ... estrogen, progesterone, testosterone ... you might be out of balance and don't want to take too much of one thing without considering it could be a different hormone. I take bioidentical hormones...

Yep! I hadn't thought about it in terms of body rhythms, but that sounds just like me! At first I thought I was just being lazy, but if I work out too early my blood sugar tanks (even with a snack before) and I spend 20 minutes just getting it back up before I can finish the workout. I do...

Love it! We first got it when we lived in a neighborhood that wouldn't allow solid fencing, for a Samoyed and a Chow .... that was years ago. Now we have a Border Collie and a terrier. We actually had a 6' fence and a brick wall around our property, but the Border Collie could jump up top...

Thanks for clarifying, Dorothy. There are definitely differences in how to handle Type 1 and Type 2, and I don't always remember the details for Type 2! People are constantly coming up to me, telling me how we can "cure" DD with these vitamins, or with this diet, or that she should just eat...

I'm in your "shoes" .... 5'11" and wear a size 11. I just ordered my 3rd (or 4th?) pair of Asics from Zappos. They arrived the next day! I got the GT-2140s, which have excellent arch support (though I still change out the insole because my arches are so high). I think the 2140s are last...

I just wanted to add that you should definitely focus on your diet. Most people agree that to lose weight, the attention you give to clean eating and healthy portions is even more important than exercise (though I would never sacrifice one for the other!). And particularly with diabetes...

Where the Red Fern Grows Island of the Blue Dolphins I loved Trixie Belden, too! I would save up my allowance just to buy the books. I can't wait until my girls start reading them ....

Wow! I love the variety of this .... fits perfectly with my workout ADD!

Also, make sure you do their healthy guidelines - I think there are 8 of them? The list like drinking a minimum 64 oz of water, taking a multivitamin, make sure you get in your healthy oils, etc. I can't remember them all, it's been a couple years since I did WW, but those little things can...

Have you looked at zappos.com? Buyers there seem to thoroughly review the shoes they buy, and while I have the opposite problem you have, I can search and find shoes that have great arch support. I'm sure there are people that need more outside support. It's great to have other people try out...

My first guess would be water retention. At least for me, it's amazing how my water weight can vary 4 lbs in a week! As for the scale, I bought an antique doctor's scale that is really cool looking, but I'm not so sure of the accuracy. So if I really MUST weigh myself I have a scale, but...

I'm trying not to do it too much - afraid I'll wear it out! Love the fun factor with this! Great steady state cardio ....

I've been doing them, too! At this point it's better than following Cathe and thinking, "Hmmm, should I be doing this?"

No suggestion other than the Polar here - mine is going on six years. I don't know if you have a Batteries Plus store near you, but after a few years of mailing my HRM to Polar, I found out B+ was happy to change it for me. In case you get another Polar ....
