parkercp, I know! My husband is gonna kill me. But I did at least resist Cathe's power tower. : ) I am so glad I ordered the BD-8 stands, though, because now I feel like I have one piece of equipment that is small, easily movable, and can do squats, modified pullups, and bench presses with...

Yep, just resting a barbell across. A lot of others have mentioned that they've used the BD-3 squat stands for modified pullups (with a barbell like I'm planning) and it works pretty well.

WHOA! Nevermind, I just found the BD-8 on sale cheaper than the BD-3 on overstock.com! http://valorathleticsinc.com/store/BD-3-Squat-Stands-p-16171.html http://valorathleticsinc.com/store/BD-8-Deluxe-Squat-Stands-p-16340.html Now that the BD-3 stands are in stock online again, I was about...

My English neighbor says you can't get good tea here, either. : ) She gave me some Jacksons of Piccadilly Chinese Sencha Green Tea with lemon, and I love it. I don't know if you can get it here without ordering online though. http://www.jacksonsofpiccadilly.co.uk/main.htm

Hi ladies! Quick post for me. Last night was a 35 minute premix from Amy Bento's Hi-Lo Extreme, and tonight was TLT Better Burn, Better Buns. I have some recipes for whole food energy bars from the Thrive Diet book I bought. They aren't high protein, but you can always adjust. Let me...

Hi ladies! Amelia, don't feel bad. Changing eating habits is sooo hard - just take it step by step and remember every day is a new one - and remember your sig line (ok I just noticed you have no sig line...I could have sworn u had one by Tom Venuto...hehe)...I love it! Do you like hummus? I...

Hi ladies! Tonight for me was Drill Max, minus the cardio part of the last drill. I love that workout...the wall squats and triceps dips on the stability ball are killer! Julie, welcome back! We are glad to have you! Amelia, I saw your post about the kids being up early. Mine is up by...

Hi ladies! Cendrine, how is your back doing? I hear you on the low back thing. I do not like the barbell rows where you are standing, hinging from the hip and pulling the barbell back to the navel. When the weight gets heavy, my low back doesn't like it either. Amelia, how is your knee...

karla, I asked the same thing a while back and didn't see an answer. If the answer is that the calves get used as an "assist" muscle in Meso 3 leg workouts, why do we work them separately in other meso leg workouts? Tons of exercises that engage the calves secondarily are done in those, too...

Hi ladies! Sorry I've bee MIA. My laptop died and I had to wait for a new one from work. I am back up and running. Will hopefully read all the posts I've missed and check in tonight!

Linda, I measured my Troy Lite bar (which the tower is supposed to work with) and it's 35.5 inches between the plate stoppers on the bar, and about 54 in. total length. I don't know if that helps. ETA: Oh wait, here are the specs: Height - 55 inches Width - 32 inches Depth - 37 inches...

Hi ladies! Amelia, looks like you are feeling better? Awesome! Good job on your workouts. I don't think I'll ever be rid of cravings. I don't even know what all my triggers are. I know I want to eat tons of sugary stuff when I haven't eaten enough that day, but there are times when I eat...

soon2bfit, have you tried the sinkers yet?

Hi ladies, and good to see you Rhea! Are you getting Cathe's travel workout? It seems like you travel a bit and I bet it's going to be good! Weird, I posted about my last few workouts and it isn't there anymore. Well, I'll just start over. Tonight was P90X Chest and Back with the hubs...

Just wanted to jump in and say that I also get confused about it, and posted a similar question not long ago. The dangers I've read about are the phytic acid, phytoestrogens, trypsin inhibitors, and other things that remain when soy is not fermented. I've read that fermented soy products like...

That's totally crazy! I ordered a step w/risers and a pair of slanted risers on 4/20 and got all of it today.

Chris, I got mine today and it has 2 grooves down the length of the step. Did you happen to find out if this is a defect? If not, I'll ask customer service. Thanks.

It is crazy how we are all so different. I've always had acne, and when I was pregnant (have a 21 month old), my skin was sooo much better! : ) Ever since I had him, it all came back. sigh

Cendrine, 18% bodyfat is amazing. I bet you look great! I am nowhere near that, but you are encouraging me! Go girl! Amelia, my weight fluctuates a couple pounds up and down a lot, so unless you give it a couple weeks and things aren't going back down, I wouldn't worry. Great job on your...

I hate my skin, too, but because of acne. I have been using Proactive religiously for 6 weeks and my skin looks worse! Bumps everywhere. I really thought when I was younger that it would be gone by now. But here I am, 31, and it's worse than ever. I am getting so desperate that I am even...
