    tae kwon do vs. karate?

    I'm interested in your responses! Hey what's wrong with being a middle aged house wife with almost empry nest syndrome! Last year my youngest dd had the coolest Kindergarten teacher. I'm not sure how old she was - maybe late 50's/early 60's? She had 5 grown kids and she was taking tae kwon do...

    RE: I'm 14 and I wanted to say that Cathe workouts are ... Welcome to the board! You might want to post this in the Ask Cathe section. I have a 14 y/o dd and she has started doing Cathe, as well! Cathe is a tremendous role model for young (and us older ones) women. Strong is beautiful!

    The woman I saw who I never want to be!

    What's wrong with aspirin? I always try a nap for a headache, too (when I can). I use to love ibuprofen for everything, but as that was in the news not too long ago, I give consideration to ALL medicines - but I thought aspirin was the "wonder drug" and was considering it since heart disease is...

    The woman I saw who I never want to be!

    I haven't read through the whole thread - I have jury duty (ugh) along with all the after school activities this week - talk about a scheduling nightmare! Here's my beef lately: Correct me if I'm wrong - but don't our taxes pay for the school lunch programs? So, if that is true, I am paying...

    Comfortable, in-style shoes?

    I have dreaded shopping for shoes for years. This past summer while shopping for my kids , I measured my foot and I am most definitely a wide. Unfortunately, most stores don't carry wides. So, I ordered a boat load from Zappos and was so happy to find shoes that fit! These two I got are...

    No wt loss, what am I doing wrong?

    You can try logging your food at fitday. If you take a taste of something - count it as 1/4 cup. That was my downfall. Tasting a little of this and that while preparing the family's food. A rounded tablespoon is close to a level 1/4c. Once I saw how many calories that added up to, I started...

    Fruit

    I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling the pinch. With three kids, trying to supply healthy snacks and f/v is getting expensive! Yes, chips and cookies are expensive. But, before I started pushing the f/v, we still ate pretty healthy - just more carbs: such as homemade pumpkin bread or some kind...

    Baked Sweet Potato--Toppings?

    Wow, I've never tried hot seasonings with sweet potatoes. I'll have to try some of the suggestions here. I bet cottage cheese tasted great with it I like plain sweet potatoes cooked and then refridgerated. For some reason they taste sweeter when cold.

    at what age did you get married or have kids

    Your fine! Here's something about "society" (aka: friends, family, strangers) - no matter what you do, its wrong. If you get married young - they will talk. If you get married old - they talk If you have kids later in life - got something to say about it If you have no kids - can't...

    Oil of Olay-Regenerist or Definity?

    Another way to prevent wrinkles - don't rub your eyes. I was plagued with allergies for several years and rubbed, rubbed, rubbed my eyes and now I can see where the skin is like - loose or something on my upper lid. They also say waking up with "pillow wrinkles" can contribute , so if that's a...
