I think home prices in Dallas (and the surrounding areas) are probably much less than other big cities (at least that's what everyone here says). I just bought a house (almost 2600 sq ft -- 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2 car garage, game room, and a decent sized back-yard, nice neighboorhood with 2...

Very cool Jes! I love it! Shonie

RE: Raising awareness vs. offering assistance Mona -- I totally agree with you. Most shows never offer a solution or even any good suggestions! Maybe we should come up with a TV show that actually offers solutions to problems! I'd like to be on TV :-) We can be co-hosts! "You must be...

I was just going to go nude :-) Shonie (who will be bringing a suit)

RE: The Wow Maximus, you must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed! I read the article and didn't get the impression that they're whining and crying at all. I think they're trying to bring to light the fact that issues arise when you lose a lot of weight that, perhaps, a lot of...

Of course, I'm bringing cheetos and chocolate cake :-) Kidding -- I'll be bringing my protein bars along (Lean Body and/or Avid Source). I'm not much of a breakfast person so I'm not sure if I'll be eating before going to a morning class. Otherwise, it could be a really bad deal for...

I have a BS in Computer Science and a MS in Engineering Management. I decided right away that I didn't want to be a manager (so NOT using the Engineering Management degree really). Too much politics and watching what you say (which I have a problem with -- things just fly out of my mouth)...

Ah...just the pick-me-up I needed on a Monday afternoon! Thanks Soosan -- is that your real name?;) Shonie

I don't think it is an "either/or" question -- do BOTH! I love my Cathe workouts, but I also gained a lot of knowledge, motivation, and muscle from working with a trainer (and I am one myself now). With Cathe -- you get a lot of good cardio and muscular endurance workouts. With a trainer...

Hi Janice! Thank you SO much for the kind words -- I really appreciate it. Of course, we are always our own worst critic so I always have something I'd like to work on a bit more (right now it's my abs). The 2-4 hours per day is a combination of my own workouts + teaching, although my...

Dallas, TX -- of course. Originally from Potosi, MO though ;-) Shonie

Alright Nadine -- that's IT! I just snorted with laughter at work. Stop making me laugh so hard. (Yes, I'm a "laugh snorter"). We all know I don't have a real rack :-) Shonie

:D Oh...please DO tell me all about it. Wha?? "clean" eating -- hmmm...I don't think I've ever heard of that in my over 10 years of experience with diet and exercise. I DO wish someone would set me straight. There's gotta be someone 'round here who knows all there is to know about diet...

As I've grown older, I cannot tolerate dairy. Almost anything with milk in it will give me some type of reaction. I get stuffy-headed and "puffy" for lack of a better word (I think it causes inflamation and water retention -- at least for me) and my stomach complains very loudly (you know what...

Hey Jes! Sounds like you're doing good with the protein! Actually...I liked the sound of your breakfast MOST OF ALL. Why are you gagging? I had: Meal #1: Avid Source protein bar, 2 cups cereal (1 cup Special K and 1 cup soy protein kellogs something-or-the-other)with 1 pure protein shake...

Hey Jes -- Nope. Hate the bike! I USED to use it all the time before I got the treadmill. Honestly, it chafes my ass and there's nothing much worse than a chafed ass x( You can have it if you want to drive up here to dallas and take it off my hands! Sorry...you're on your own with...

Hey...I think MAYBE I figured it out...hope it works! Shonie http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=6&uid=3655618&

Hmmm...what can I be embarrassed about... -- a bad case of nose hairs? -- backne? -- the fact I get bloated easily and can look like I'm in my 3rd trimester? Who cares? You all are GREAT and everyone will be supportive I'm sure! OH...and I'm up in the front row with Jes! Cathe's lucky...

Amen Ima Girl! I'm with you. Also, the BF% measurements are NOT really accurate (meaning the number doesn't matter). The numbers themselves can vary wildly depending upon the method used (calipers vs bio-impedence vs hydrostatic, etc) and the body's hydration levels. The actual number...

Just to be clear -- osteoporosis is not a result of low bodyfat. It is due to a lack of calcium and lack of weight-bearing exercise. I don't believe I've seen any studies suggesting any epidemic health issues as a result of low bodyfat :-) Shonie
