She kind of looks like a Cathe to me. ;) Stebby

This is just a guess, but the calculations may be assuming that over a certain weight, a woman's "extra" weight must be fat, but that a man's "extra" weight must be muscle. Pound for pound, a fat person burns less than a muscular person. I have seen this too on my HRM and am confused by it...

I agree with Jane. Don't go if it's against your values. It's against mine too. If they are all drunk, trust me, they won't notice or care that you're not there. And you will avoid uncomfortable moments such as being asked to give a ride to or attend to one of those sick-drunk people. If...

About 15 last night and another 10 today. We only had 12 visitors last night so I am taking it upon myself to eat what's left in the box. Lots of extra cardio coming for me! My daughter counted her stash and she got 200 mini chocolate bars. (A bunch of other stuff too but she's like me -...

I just bought a box of 90 fun-size chocolate bars (Aero, Kit Kat, Smarties, Coffee Crisp) for about $15. That's all I will buy. We only ever get about 10-15 kids here. We will be finishing up the box ourselves. :) Stebby

Not trying to hijack this thread but I have always wondered - how can you tell if you have an ovarian cyst? Stebby

Good luck, Janie! Yes, it was definitely disappointing for me. Six months is a long time but you do get through it eventually - you just need to change your path for awhile. I saw my chiropractor about it too but she wasn't able to do much for it, other than provide the stretching and icing...

You may have a weak gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. They don't get a lot of work with traditional squats, lunges, step-ups etc. Do you ever do "firewalkers"? They are another thing you can do besides floor and barre work to strengthen that area. Stebby

Ice it too! And stretching helps (extend arm, palm facing down, pull fingers toward that arm using the other hand). I recently went through a 6-month bout with tennis elbow, both arms. It was caused by trying to do all the pull-ups in P90X, and not giving up when I should have! During my...

We have a 6-week challenge coming up at work. I've signed up for it and starting Oct. 29, I need to walk at least 10,000 steps per day for the 6 weeks. My company is buying Fitbits for all of us who sign up! I had never heard of them before but now that I've done a bit of research I'm pretty...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, too!! :) I had a ginormous turkey dinner on Saturday, another one on Sunday, and leftover turkey today! And pie ... oh my goodness. My MIL sent us home with tons of pie. And raisin muffins. Yummy. To help make up for my overindulgence I did Maximum...

What???!!! I didn't know that Carola had died! That is very sad news. She was an amazing person - well read, blunt, fearless and very inspirational. Her posts always gave me something to think about. When did we lose her? Stebby

My years are short now ... getting old. Glad to hear you are doing OK! Stebby

LIMECAT!!!!! How ya been? Haven't seen you here in years! Stebby

I also like drills. They're an easy way to get my heart rate up quickly without thinking too much. It's hard for me to do that with combos. Stebby

Cathe has proven to me time and time again that she is the master. Nobody can touch her. But I still buy other people's products for variety. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised, but there are many times I've ended up feeling I wasted my money. Here are my top "wish I hadn't boughts": 1...

I'm 51 too. I was kind of lazy all summer and ate whatever I wanted. (Exercised like a fiend, but still out-ate my workouts!) On Aug. 31 I got my act together and started tracking my food again. I am eating 1600-1800 calories per day. I am already 5 lbs down and I am seeing less belly and...

Depends on your height too. Back about 10 years ago when I weighed 133 lbs (5'4"), I wore size 4. I was by no means skinny - quite muscular, but relatively short and small-boned. Right now I am closer to 160 lbs ... sigh ... and wear a 10/12. For me that is quite overweight. I have taller...

Doesn't this eliminate a lot of very it or minimally overweight men from her practice? Stebby

I think that if the deadlifts feel like they are injuring you (that's the impression I have) then you should do something else instead (whether it's Supermans or another exercise). Another potential exercise you could do is something that Cathe suggested as a substitute for deadlifts - hip...
