Oh wow, that looks awesome! That will serve as a beautiful distraction from what I'm supposed to be working on for the rest of the evening .:D How are your knees doing? Did you have your appointment yet? I have yet another one tomorrow. Nadja

Shipping is getting outrageous. The last time I did a swap on VF I went to UPS, since the post office was closed. $21 to mail two dvds! I thought what's the point, I might as well get them brand new.

Video Fitness is a great idea. Some people do temporary trades, so you won't have to say goodbye to your Jari Love dvds forever. If you have Ripped dvds, I think you'd have a pretty good chance of finding someone to trade with. You do have to create a membership account (totally free, no spam)...

Does the program factor in the amount you're exercising or is it just based on weight? I always thought 1500 was adequate for a moderately active woman trying to lose weight, but if you're doing all that work, it seems like you'd need even more. I don't have any credentials to back it up, but it...

I have the GNC brand, which I haven't heard anyone raving about :(. The chocolate tastes good mixed into hot cereal, but the vanilla is just *ick*, so you might want to experiment with flavors. I'd love to try that Lean Dessert, but I need to use up the stuff I already have.

RE: Ok so tell me what I need to look for in an Ellipti... Just off the top of my head- Weight- you want a sturdy one that won't wobble around Stride length- different for everyone (depending on height) and different depending on the type of elliptical (you'll have to figure out yours and...

Sorry it's not a Cathe workout but have you ever tried Squeeze by Tracy Effinger? I noticed that my lower body looked leaner but more defined with less bulk after doing it for a while. But that could have been because I was replacing x number of Cathe workouts with it, and it's just less...

Just a thought- I recently made the switch to eating clean, and I just feel like I'm constantly stuffing myself, even though I actually have to put effort into making sure I get *enough* calories every day. I started having Bob's Red Mill High Fiber Hot Cereal with a scoop of whey protein powder...

I agree veggies are a sure thing. I think instead of trying to eat a certain food in unlimited quantity, it might be easier to try to bulk up the foods you already eat by trying to double or triple the volume with vegetables. I consider fiber one a free food. Supposedly 1 g fiber requires...

Well, if your knees are telling you something I recommend you listen to them. My ortho told me that squats are basically one of the worst things you can do for your knees- lunges are practically knee friendly compared to them. It has to do with the angle. Once you go past ninety degrees, your...

I use calorieking.com to look up foods. It has every variation on every type of food, and you can choose what type of portion sizes to use. For example if you look up the calories in an apple you can get it by the ounce, or by size (e.g. medium or large, with/without skin), etc. I'm pretty...

I haven't, but people have posted on here before about getting ripped off. People have also posted about getting scammed by storefronts with really good feedback. I think I'd be more hesitant to buy from a storefront than from someone who just wanted to sell a used copy. But, honestly I'd rather...

The sugar, salt and potassium will help during an extended or strenuous workout.

I do just water for my workouts, and if I'm doing something...
