I'd love to join, too. I'll read just about anything! Maybe we can include fitness related books also. :-) Becky

Hi Nancy, I just wanted to let you know that if you like New Balance (I love their shoes), then I have had great luck with their cross trainer 1007. It is comfy, yet gives great lateral support. I have had lots of problems with my feet in the past and these shoes have been "just the...

Hi Olexa, I'm pretty sure Cathe uses 5 risers under her topper. I like to use 6, but I'm 5'6. The important thing is to make sure that the high step is not so high that when you step up, your knee is bent at more than a 90 degree angle (this can put too much pressure on the knee). HTH...

I have suffered with PF on and off for years. This is what I found to help 3 years ago when it all went to he**: Orthodics New Balance cross trainers physical therapy (this lasted for about 3 mos, once a week...they used an ultrasound to deliver cortisone to the bottoms of my feet...

As someone with hypothyroidism, I very much watch my soy intake (per my MD's instruction). I will eat some tofu, tempeh and edamame, but the rest I don't consume. I also don't give very much soy to my children as they are unsure how it can affect pre-adolescent girls. Interesting topic...

I'm 37 and I don't have any white hairs on my head, but I do have one stray white hair in my right eyebrow that keeps returning after each plucking!! I also think that it is totally hereditary. My father, who is almost 61, is just starting to turn white (I think I will be like him), but my...

Ah, injuries! I had been relatively injury-free until I had my 3rd child 3.5 years ago at the age of 33. Within the year that he was born, I had sciatica in both sides in the peraformis (which I still battle today, but can control with a lot of stretching) that started while I was pregnant...

Hi Jane, I also have 3 kids, ages 12, 9 and 3. Since getting up early is never an option for me ( I tried for a while, but I am just too much of a night owl and wasn't getting enough sleep), I do work out during the day. I used to work out during my son's nap time, but since the time he was...

I have irritable bowel syndrome and find if I eat a lot at one sitting the gas and bloating is much worse than normal. Popcorn can set me off, but I find if I eat just a little at a time without pop or soda (which always upsets my tummy... it's the carbonation), I'm okay. Try eating less of...

I haven't used the new L'Oreal self tanner yet, but the others that I have used in the past didn't make the freckles on my face or body look darker. HTH Becky

Thanks Olexa! I'll try that. :-) Becky

Bam, Lots of {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} your way. Becky

Sarah, This is great news because I stopped using self tanner because they would rub off on my clothes and sheets, especially after working out. Does it stain your hands? I used to apply tanner while wearing latex gloves, but it sounds like you may not have to with the L'Oreal. Also...

Hi Sara, I'm also a huge Chris fan...I love the rockers! So I can't wait until tonight. I'm not impressed with the girls either. The young ones (Paris and Lisa) are good, but just too young. My favorite girl would have to be Mandisa, but I don't think she will win. Kelly cracks me up...

Laura, I wonder if you can buy hairproducts that are made for people with curly hair who use soft water? You could try a beauty supply store or even ask your hair stylist if she/he has any suggestions. Becky

Cathe doing IPod workouts!!! How awesome would that be?.:D :D :D I hope that this becomes a reality! Becky

Karen, If you had read Cathe's most recent post about her setback, you would have seen that not only is devastated by the further delay, but stated that she is " working on a little thank you to show my appreciation". Why couldn't you just accept this and be grateful that Cathe is offering...

Lorrie, You are so funny. :D I love your ability to use humor to diffuse! Becky

I'm not really disappointed. I have all of Cathe's DVD's, which seems to keep me busy. And I mix it up enough so that I'm not bored at all. Also, with weather improving, I'm running more and I like to add the elliptical machine, recumbant bike and rowing machine into my rotations for variety...
