    Why rebuild New Orleans?

    Don't hate me for saying this... ...Just a thought: The hurricaine is also part of the History of New Orleans.

    What Do Y'All Think of This Comment

    I think that obese people can lose fat quickly at the beginning of a sensible diet an exercise program, contrary to what the commentator suggest. I am no doctor and that is just my opinion, but my experience has been that the LESS you have to lose, the MORE time it takes. I know it's not about...

    which/who is your favorite "Spongebob" character?

    RE: which/who is your favorite I love Spongebob. Actually, I am so infatuated with this cartoon series! Spongebob is so good, so naive, so sweet, sensitive, and childish...I can't help but love him. Second, for me, comes Squidward: always so peesed off... I think whoever created this series is...

    Are you related to anyone famous?

    Well, one of my husband's brother in law is well-known in Puerto Rico for being...well, I don't know his exact position, but he is related to the Banco Popular. I have a cousin, Everet Aponte, who is a movie director but he is just starting. If he become famous, remember, he is my cousin. LOL!

    Am I to friendly?

    I second Christine and Candi. You are pretty and charming also, and definitely have charisma. One thing I have noticed is that, like you said, when one is funny and make others laugh, that attracts the oppositte sex. In fact, that is a strategy many men use to attract women, being funny...

    Is sweat really a good indicator...?

    ...that you just had an effective workout? I mean, let me re-phrase this: Is not sweating a good indicator that you DIDN'T have an effective workout? I have always been a person that don't sweat much compared to others. Even when I find a cardio workout to be very hard, I don't sweat as much...

    exercising more and gaining weight

    If you can't buy a self test bodyfat caliper (Accumeasure), then do an "intuitive" check on your bodyfat by pinching your skin with your fingers in key areas (belly, thighs, arms, back). If you notice that you pinch less than a few weeks ago, then you probably have gained muscle tissue and lost...

    Maybe it is about the colored t-shirts or another "market-cross-over".

    Ab exercises - want a flatter stomach

    Laura and/or Aila... Could you please suggest a good pilates DVD or video? I only have Moira Stott's The Secret to Flat Abs but there is something about it, or about Moira, that I don't like. I did it twice and never went back to it. Perhaps I should give it another try.

    Thong alternative?

    I workout in the privacy of my home and I just go commando (nothing at all under the pants) most of the time. I only use the few thongs I have with certain clothes and pants when going out. When wearing a gown, I usually use pantyhowse only if it is long. If it falls around the knee, I...

    manufacturers trying to fool the semi-educated?

    The "whole wheat" breads that are sold in regular supermarkets cannot be trusted. I haven't found any of them that are not a combination of whole wheat and white flour, like someone said. Also, they contain corn syrup or other unhealthy stuff in there. Thanks Goodness for bread making machines!

    Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle

    Like Sarah said, there are too many things we forget to mention because the book is so long and has so much info. In fact, it is quite repetitive, but that's a good thing because that way you remember everything and that's also because each chapter can be read as an independent unit. Like...

    should you teach a boy to like boy things?

    My husband was that kind of boy and he is now a very loving and family oriented husband. I agree that FORCING a child to like or do certain things only create issues or aggravates precisely what you want to stop or avoid.

    Shoulder Development- which Cathe workout?

    Thank you, Kathryn. I have noticed that, too. If I work my arms and shoulders on wednesday, for example, by friday my arms are still too tired to work on chest and back. ...Just to share with all of you: I am doing Slow & Heavy, but with a few tweaks: Monday- Legs only Wednesday-...

    Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle

    I can't really answer if it is the same info on other books because I haven't really read the other books. Obviously, I'm sure you know many of the things it says already. I think the only "new" things might be the cycling methods, like I said. But that alone is worth the entire book. If you...

    Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle

    I have had extremely good results with it. Before I finished the book and before starting the program officially, I am almost at my goal body. Body for Life is very basic. BFFM is very detailed and explains thoroughly the calorie cycling, and the carbohydrate cycling methods. You may be...
