I am really working towards reducing my body fat but I don't want to lose weight. I got this scale that gives me both readings, weight and body fat. I am 5'4" and I weigh 110. This scale told me at various times that I had 23% body fat all the way to 26% body fat. That is depressing given...

There are a lot of personalized gifts to give from "Things Remembered." They do have the keepsake box that a previous poster mentioned. You can insert a picture (or not) and have it engraved with their name and date. Silver baby cups, picture frames, monogrammed blankets...all are possibilities.

The dermatologist said that some adult acne is really Rosacea. One of the known triggers of Rosacea is caffeine. Nothing was working for me, so I did an experiment and got rid of caffeine and my skin TOTALLY cleared. It was frustrating because I had tried every expensive remedy in the book...

I too have tried everything. Things that have worked are: going to a dermatologist and having the office give Omnilux treatments, going to an aesthetician for "silk peel," and giving up caffeine. Giving up caffeine gave the most dramatic difference. It is hard though because I love coffee.

Carrie, I had back surgery due to a herniated disc, and I do step all the time and I have for years. I think it depends on the type of back problem you have. I had a really good doctor and physical therapist for my problem. They had me first strengthen my abs (daily) and leg muscles. I think...

Another vote for L'Oreal. When I really want a great fake tan I go to one of those spray on tan booths. Those are very expensive but I really like the result. L'Oreal gives me a great result too and I do that more often. L'Oreal's is called Sublime Bronze.

That is good advice. I really like all those ideas!! J

My surgery was 20 years ago and I have not had ANY problems since that until now. My problem was pain for a couple of weeks and now is gone. I am looking to find workouts that are Low Impact for Aerobics and Weight training that I can do with a lower weight or with bands. I really like...

I had to have back surgery a real long time ago and haven't had problems since....until now. When I had surgery, the doctor told me not to do high impact aerobics or lift more than 10 pounds. I LOVE to work out and have gradually increased my workouts to include high impact aerobics and I have...

I also work out early in the morning. If I don't work out in the morning, it doesn't always happen. I eat a tablespoon of peanut butter on a rice cake, and drink green tea with stevia. I then get on the computer, read the news, and return e mail. By then, I am not groggy and I have the energy...

Have you tried the Mystic Tan, or fake tanning cream. I like the former better than the latter, but I use both. This is what I use when I want to go bare legged and feel self conscious about anything.

This week I've had a back problem so I took it easy this week. Today I did Christi Taylor's Solid Gold Cardio and did the extra stretch in addition. Monday - off due to back injury Tuesday- Totally Cool Step + bonus abs Wednesday-Humble Beginnings step with push ups and sit ups for toning...

I work out an hour a day 6 days a week. I alternate cardio and weights. I do circuit training for weights though.

If we eat soy, it is dangerous. If we don't eat soy, that causes cancer. Meat is bad for you, soy is as well, vegetables have pesticides and even bottled water is polluted. We're doomed!!! Looks like we are not getting out of this world alive!!!

"Cardio and Weights" and a fast walk in the park.

I love Christi Taylor workouts. They aren't as intense as Cathe's but they are VERY fun! (Yes, they are quite complex) Cathe is much better at circuit or interval workouts....but if you like to dance...switch it up and try Christi. Her "Fantastic Four" workout DVD has both hi/low and 2 great...

I just had the hair locks extensions. They make my scalp itch and I hate them. I have had them in for about 3 months and I won't get them redone. I like the extra fullness but they really bother me.

I'm doing "Low Max" plus and ab section of "Ab Hits".

I do tend to lift lighter weights. I am building up strength though. When I was younger I had a back problem and my doctor limited the weight I could lift. Since I've built up my ab muscles and have been lifting weights consistently, that doesn't seem to be a problem any more. (Thank you...

Do you think it is a mistake getting body bars instead of a barbell. I think body bars are easier to store. In addition, it seems like there would be an advantage to having the weight distributed across the entire bar rather than at the ends. Can those of you who are more experienced at using...
