    Trying to Stick With a Budget

    yes, yes...There isn't any type of bulk buying store around here (besdes a BJs club - it's like samsclub!) Biggest obstacle is just the cost of fresh vegetables and fruits... now if you can grow your own that would be a big money saver. I didn't see anyone mention coupons, so don't be shy...

    Workout DVD regrets

    I'm regretting kettlebells. I always wondered why Cathe didn't make kettlebell workouts... I'm kinda seeing that it's easy to injure yourself with them and that is most likely why Cathe hasn't fully jumped on the kettlebell wagon.

    Top 3 LIS picks

    any fans of the yoga workouts? I'm trying to decide which ones to get too. Definitely want Turbo Barre... also thinking about After Burn, Slide & Glide and Cardio Supersets... I'm liking the looks of these because of the minimal equipment

    Workouts you just CAN'T get into

    I couldn't get into yoga at all...if a workout had a yoga-ish cool down I'd just turn it off and do my own cool down. Then, I don't know what happened, I think it was Tony Horton and p90x or one on one yoga and how Tony said if he could only do one type of exercise it would be yoga so I gave it...

    tracy anderson - tips for following along?

    TA fans, any tips for following along with her workouts? I'm previewing her meta series and continuity and she doesn't really cue, and when she does the other side there is no cueing at all - and in continuity it just goes from one exercise to the next with no set up time. I think it would take...

    anyone try physique57?

    I just got these a couple of a weeks ago (christmas gift). I've only done the 57 minute workouts but I like them so far. I thought the instructor would be too bubbly for me, but she's actually not too bad, I think she's just naturally silly and likes to joke around which is a nice change of pace...

    Loreal- animal testing

    Olay and Proctor & Gamble also test on animals; from what I read they are worse than L'Oreal's company! Unilever has this on their site saying they are working on stopping animal testing, but who knows how true that is. Developing alternative approaches to animal testing | Unilever Global On the...

    Lower Back Pain Advice

    hope some people have answers too, as I also suffer from lower back pain. I never had any injuries, it just started pulling out in my late teens/early twenties and now just comes and goes. This past year it's been getting a bit worse, sometimes hurting for over a month at a time. One week it was...

    favorite eyecream

    according to Paula Begoun (cosmeticcop author) as long as your face cream doesn't have irritants or a ton of perfumes you can use it around your eyes... what do yous think? most nights I use retin-a which can't be used directly around the eyes, so I then use a couple of drops of a...

    I didn't! I swear!

    good luck, hope it works out for you. I'd be scared! Besides the $10k when being unemployed...after you are proven innocent, if it does come down to that maybe his parents should pay that bill. I'm also wondering how old the child actually is? Why did he single you out? Has he done this before...

    Heart Palpitations

    I have them sometimes. Hoping to get a general check up in the up coming months... sometimes right after my chest feels sore inside; like I need an ice cold glass of water to sooth it a bit, but it still worries me.

    P90X2 pre-order.....who's caving?

    just looked... the 3 balls balancing move looks.... tough. looks like atleast one workout requires a plyo box, and space is an issue for me. I'm not interested in it at the moment since I'm trying out and enjoying Tracy Anderson and barre workouts. Maybe later when enough reviews come out and...

    toning sneakers

    I was wondering if anyone here uses toning sneakers? I was looking for a new pair of walking sneakers (currently carless and my feet are taken a beating with my old shoes), and the New Balance ones caught my eye because they looked cool, then I realized they were toning sneakers. Would they be...

    18 lb. Dumbbell

    18lbs would be nice. even 12lbs are hard to find; I couldn't find 12s at walmart, modells, target, kmart...I eventually had to order them online. I don't have them myself but I've seen platemates mentioned around here...then you could keep using them when you need a boost between 20s-25s-30s...

    Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis/ Design Series

    I don't think Tracy Anderson's workouts are for you if you want arms like Cathe or want to build strength. While I haven't followed a TA rotation yet, those wouldn't be my goals with it... when I follow a TA rotation the goal would be to have a body like Gwyneth P, or better yet like Shakira...

    leaving a bad/abusive situation

    hanging in there. left a few messages with apartments that said they accept pets to see if they have any openings. Working with social services a bit (here they put people up in hotels, if hotels are full then it's shelters), and looking for a better or second job. problem is - he NEVER leaves...

    Recomended over the counter face exfoliator

    I use St.Ives scrubs sometimes. For a cream, Alphahydrox has some good lotions and creams. this line used to be around all over in drugstores, but seems harder to find. I order from Walgreens.. the lotion lasts a long time and the bottle is big enough to be generous to put on your neck...

    leaving a bad/abusive situation

    Just wondering if any women here have had experience of needing to leave a bad situation and actually needing to go to a shelter. I'll try not to ramble... but the person I'm living with has become a non functioning alcoholic this past year. While there is no physical abuse, there is...
