    IMax 2 audio issues.

    Unfortunately, I have that issue too with Imax 2 as well as Low Impact Step. I hate it when it fades out of sound while I'm working out. I don't really have any choice though in returning it, for now at least. I'm in the UK for the year. I would return yours though, since that option is open to...

    Your thoughts on cheese

    I was ovo-lacto vegetarian for two years before trying out the vegan way two months ago. I feel better without consuming dairy products and believe that cheese actually caused my headaches. The only difficult part has been missing pizza and eating out. You'd be amazed how many restaurants use...

    Lets talk sport bras

    My favorite has to be Champion. I don't know the name of the specific one, but they're website has everything labelled for high impact and the best one I have has an underwire which gives even more support. I also have to give kudos to Gap. They have a high impact sports bra that holds...

    Blockbuster.com....Vent!

    Have you thought of trying Netflix? They're a great service.

    Anyone have any New Year fitness resolutions?

    My resolution is to wear shorts for the first time since the 5th grade this summer. I also want to continue with the workouts and rotations and hope to do 20 full push ups by this summer as well as jog 4 miles. I think this is finally the year! And it has nothing to do with the New Year's but a...

    Words just won't do this one justice....

    Amazing! Next time I do lat raises and bicep curls, I'll think of the girl standing on the guy's bicep on her tip toe. OMG! That is strength.

    Bowflex select tech dumbbells

    I had to leave these in NY:( The good thing about them is that they go up to 50lbs and it's not hard to change them during the workout. The only issue I have with them is that they're much larger than your average dumbbell. So when doing certain exercises, you might feel like you need to adjust...

    Yellow Arm Pit Stains

    This may sound odd, but my grandmother places all white's like undies, socks and undershirts in a pot with bleach and water and brings it to a boil (on low heat). That always works for her. Good luck! Rita

    age of marriage

    I'm 26 and got married when I was 23. I had dated my husband for two years before we got married. I was in college and worked part-time at Old Navy and he simply worked at Old Navy. We practically moved in together from the beginning. We've been through a rollercoaster in the last five years and...

    Student loan question

    Omg...that's great news. I'm glad I didn't consolidate my loans yet but I will do once they apply the lower interest. I'm in the UK right now so I didn't hear about this news!

    Student loan question

    I would consider the suggestions provided and also think that a year goes by really fast. I have student loans that I can't seem to pay down. If your company is willing to pay for it in a year, I would wait. The interest rates on student loans have climbed and they're not going down any time...

    Can Someone Help me?

    Thanks Sue. With time, I look forward to being able to do full body push-ups and Low Max without needing to pause!

    DH wants me to quit exercising

    I think most people have already stated that there's most likely something beyond the exercise issue here. This is just a suggestion, but maybe you should organize some time out together, and have a talk about feelings etc. Given that you've been working out for the last 15 years, and several...

    CALORIES AND WORKOUTS

    Hey guys, Thanks for you advice. I upped the calories and now am losing. I guess my body thought I was severely restricting it and didn't want to let go of the weight. It's so weird to be able to eat this much. I find it hard to take in 1800 calories, as silly as that sounds. Rita

    vegetarian/vegan results

    I forgot to add that my husband, who did not watch his calories and does not workout, somehow lost 70lbs in a year by becoming vegetarian. Go figure.

    vegetarian/vegan results

    I've also read Skinny bitch, which spurred me and my husband to become vegetarian a year ago. It's easy to eat unhealthy initially when you become vegetarian if you don't balance your protein/carb/fat intake. But once I learned to balance my intake, I gained more energy and felt better overrall...

    Can Someone Help me?

    Hiya, I had replied to your previous post and saw your response to everyone. I'm no longer ashamed to admit any of this as I used to be. I used to weigh in at 270.4lbs+. That is when I finally weighed myself after dieting, that's the number I got, which really wasn't the reflection of where...

    Cathe Customer Service

    I was surprised as well by the level of customer service. Even with a house move and move to the UK, Nancy made sure that I got my orders without a hitch! It was more than professionalism. She provided the personal care that is rare to find today. A big thank you to Nancy! Rita
