RE: Those who've quit smoking, do you consider yourselv... Well, I'm on day 2 of being a recovering nicoholic :). I finished reading Allen Carr's book on Tuesday night haven't smoked since. I bought a box of patches but didn't want to use them as I want to get the nicotine out of my system as...

RE: Those who've quit smoking, do you consider yourselv... Thanks for the encouragement Laura :) I (and all smokers) are so aware of all the things you listed, it is amazing that anyone smokes anymore! I am also very ashamed of my smoking and try to hide from anyone who doesn't know me...

RE: Those who've quit smoking, do you consider yourselv... What a great inspiration you guys are! I am a smoker and I want to stop again (I have quit several times - the last time was for 1 1/2 years, how stupid to have started again.) Laura, I agree that I will consider myself a recovering...

Aimee - that is so great! I had a heck of a time with the biceps section too. I could match Cathe (and go higher on some) with everthing on PUB way before I could match her on biceps. But what a rush when I could finally do it! Luckily, my husband does get it - I recently got the Gym...

RE: Oprah & Note to all: My Mom hijacked my identity and posted under my log in for the last post :) ETA: I personally have enjoyed this thread and now have many new authors to investigate. Also very impressed with TeTe's wonderful gift. Keep writing! Corrie

RE: Oprah & I don't believe. I KNOW GOD is there. I am also KNOW that people have pain and carry it with them...just go to any country where people are hurting. The pain is virtually visable in the country; let alone in the people. When all the pain stops we will truly be at peace. AND...

RE: Oprah & Runnergirl - ROFLMAO! So glad to see a sense of humour!

RE: Oprah & Allison, Yep, I was a little weirded out too - I am trying to ignore the weird stuff and just get some book recommendations :) For me exercise is just one part of fitness and my mental and emotional ("spiritual") health are of equal importance so I like to read to strength...

RE: Oprah & Sparrow - I love your quote from Hafiz. Such a wonderful poet - I have only read bits of his stuff from quotes in other books. Do you know where I might find a book with his work in complete form? Thanks Corrie

RE: Oprah & Jess, I am not sure who you are directing this post to, but don't worry - nobody on this thread would be scared of you or be trying to offend you. We are are all just sharing our thoughts on a book. You were simply stating your feelings about the book and concepts and there is...

RE: Oprah & I have read both books. I actually was unaware of Oprah's interest in the book until I saw her sticker after I had ordered it from the bookstore. Her endorsement only made me hesitate for a second LOL! (Just kidding!!! Don't want to start an Oprah debate.) I have enjoyed both...

I had my first daughter when I was 33 snd my second daughter when I was 36. Both were quite easily conceived and deliveries were easy compared to most experiences I have heard of. I laughed when my midwife told me I was "advanced maternal age" :) at the beginning of my second pregnancy. I...

Big hugs for you Lainie. I remember being in the same situation last year and it is no fun. Unfortunately, I DID get sick and it turned into pneumonia - so make sure you take care of yourself!

I make all my own bread (my Kitchen Aid was a great investment!). Every couple of days I make 100% whole wheat loaves and I have found that they turn out better if I: 1. Use slightly more yeast than is called for (about 1/2 teaspoon more) 2. Make sure to use enough sugar. My recipe...

I don't have LIC - what is a banana?

I haven't ordered because I needed the Gym Styles and even those weren't really in my budget :) I must say that the blog pictures are very, very enticing and I will NEED to have STS some day, but I think I will view it as a reward for meeting some of the fitness goals I have right now.

I think this one looks harder :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WobDtKrQaPo For some reason I don't feel so excited by the fact that I can finally do a couple of pikes on the ball. LOL

Debbie - you do look better for sure! Your body is solid and muscular, but definitely feminine. I believe you COULD look like Ms. Brazil if you really wanted to and it was your full time job. Personally, I think that she doesn't look healthy - just my opinion, but when presented with...

If you are simply looking for a change on the scale quickly you might not get it with weight training, but if you want to see a change in the shape of your body, I think weight training is soooo important. I weight train 3 times a week and do cardio 2 or 3 times a week. I eat pretty clean (a...
