Oh My Dear Cathe! I can't imagine how frustrated you must be at this point. Please listen to your body and take care of yourself (sounds like good advice from YOU) first. Your health is the most important thing. There's no point in rushing back to film something only to injure yourself...

Hey...everyone keeps talking about pictures. Ummm...I'm gonna go ahead and have to say NO on the picture thing. Remember...it stays at Shonie's. Unless, of course, I'm not in the picture and then it's fine. I just want to say thanks to the girls for staying. I had a BLAST. I always...

I was talking with a trainer friend of mine last night about what he looks for in a woman in terms of dating potential. He said, "I'm not sure...but I know what I DON'T want". That led us down a path of listing the "dealbreakers" that each of us has when considering someone as dating material...

What I wanna know is: how did y'all measure your flexed bicep by yourself? I looked like a complete idiot trying to flex one arm and hold onto the measuring tape with the other hand. There has GOT to be an easier way. In my half-a$$ed attempt...I got 12 1/4. I think it's interesting...

Hi Lorrie -- I am a personal trainer myself and I worked with a trainer before I got certified. It took me a LONG time to decide on one because there are so many factors involved. So I'd always *watch* how they were with their other clients. I don't like "counting-out-louders". I don't...

That settles it -- LauraMax -- we are SO alike when it comes to "dealing". I do ALL those things you mentioned (except I don't have any dogs. Lots of spiders lately...but no dogs). Eventually I start to "rise again"...but I sure wish I could speed up the process a bit. Yep...did the...

Ahhh...Laura. You're lucky I love you and can appreciate some good humor. Otherwise, you'd be finding yourself in a funk right now (due to my "wishing it so". Thanks, BTW, for making me laugh. I'm thinking LAUGHTER is a good de-funker for me. I appreciate everyone's input. Shonie

In light of my most recent spiral into a HUGE funk -- I started wondering how other people pull themselves out. So what are your tips/rituals/secrets to getting out of it? And please don't respond with "oh...I never get into a funk"...'cause that means this thread isn't for YOU and then...

"If you noticed the face of the Supersize woman, she looks like a man. Anyone can see that. Her face is hard and her voice is not of a woman's. Pretty clear to me. If I crossed a fine line, then next time I will just run over it instead. Geez!" In your pirate costume maybe? Apparently you...

No foot in mouth, Dani girl. I like your emoticon!!! Shonie

I agree with ivorygorgon. I'm not sure anyone has ever claimed that bodybuilding is "natural" or "healthy". At least they shouldn't. So I'm not exactly sure where anyone got that impression. It is about building the most muscle, having the least amount of fat, and having all bodyparts...

I did NOT see this show -- but it sounds like the typical woman bodybuilder. While I, personally, wouldn't feel comfortable being that big nor could I GET that big due to my genetics, lack of discipline, and no desire to take steroids...I find it fascinating. I think they are beautiful --...

1g per lb of body weight works well and it is what I set as a goal for my daily protein intake. Is it the optimum amount? (meaning not too much or not too little) -- probably not...given all the scientific journals that have published a million different suggestions/calculations/research...

Damn...Canadians will celebrate just about anything :-) And, yes, I saw your response saying they are "American" holidays. Sure... I particularly like the fact that there are 3 "National Chocolate Day"s -- guess the women on the "National Day" committee were all PMSing and simply couldn't...

HA...LauraMax...you "crack" me up :-) 'Tis spelt zat way in zee book. Her "dicktation"-ist (which is the proper term for someone who takes dick) was, apparently, from france. Shonie "You must be the change you wish to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi...

Hey LauraMax -- I heard about that...but didn't think of the irony (it is funny now that you menion it). I assumed she didn't actually write the book herself but did more of a "dick"-tation :-) You are going to hell though. love ya, Shonie "You must be the change you wish to see in...

Awww...Laura -- I suck for not wishing you a happy b-day sooner. Well...I suck for a whole host of other reasons...but that's the big one today. Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear laura-libra01971-SUP-to-the-A-to-the-X Happy birthday to you! We love ya...

Yes...kim -- I do ALL of those things except...I workout even more because I know it will make me feel better. Mostly, I really just want people to LEAVE ME ALONE! But for some reason, the people around me just don't get it. Maybe they LIKE having people around them when they're in a pissy...

I have a Thursday theory. My phone rings off the damn hook on Thursday. I hate talking on the phone. I hate talking on the phone on Thursday in particular because, by the time Thursday rolls around, I realize I have too much sh*t to get finished by the end of the next day and I cannot be...

OMC, Shelley, I will have to try that "officer" line :-) I LIKE IT! Although I've often been tempted to ram my car into someone in a fit of road rage -- I have yet to take any action in that regard. When I was in the parking lot of my local Lifetime Fitness -- a little...
