    X-posted 229 pds,what to do to lose weight.Help please

    I certainly can sympathise with not having time for meetings. There is an on-line option, or there is on-line software that is also helpful and keeps you accountable. I think the suggestion of having your thyroid checked is a good one. I know in my 30's I gained 20 pounds in 3 months due to a...

    X-posted 229 pds,what to do to lose weight.Help please

    I am another fan of WW as I lost 35 pounds and have been maintaining for 2.5 years. Losing weight is a committment, and not a quick fix. You have to break things down in little goals. My first goal was to go 1 month on WW and do everything they said to the letter. You know what happened the...

    Article on MSN

    1. Because kids are more sedentary these days. No regular PE until middle school, rides to and from school in cars, not allowed to go out and play. 2. Because fattening convience foods are so much easier in a busy life. It takes planning to produce good tasting healthier foods, and...

    WHY???

    I do not disrespect your opinion, but you called the film propaganda, and it is not made with a slant. So that made me think you did not even look at it. A friend of mine watched it who shares your opinions and even more so. We debate, but not unkindly. He gets me to look things up, review...

    What is wrong with some parents?

    At younger ages the emphasis should be on learning the skills of the sport. Around here, a score is not even kept. A 7 year old should not be taunting another 7 year old about a score. By the time they are in middle school, they are better able to handle the competition end. There is such a...

    Should I just GIVE UP???

    I would not give up because then you might just gain back some. Keep working out, watching what you eat. I found some clothes that I had before my 17 year old was born, and can finally fit back in them. With little kids, it is easy to let the weight creep on because you are so busy. So don't...

    WHY???

    Candi, did you even look at the website? This film was not made with a slant for either side, but to show what the people of Iraq are like. In fact some people did say, Americans go home. It was a very honest look at the Iraqi people, and it made me fall in love with their spirit inspite of...

    What is wrong with some parents?

    Is this league organized by a park district or community? If so, I would call the person who is in charge and relay what has happened. I am betting yours would not be the first complaint. Kids this age should be taught good sportsmanship on top of skills, and I am betting the organizers of...

    WHY???

    Bill, a fellow from our small town wrote monthly letters to the High School explaining what was going on, and what they were doing. He is in the military. He spoke about being scared, but also spoke about the good they are doing in this country for the many, many people that were oppressed. He...

    WHY???

    The military is not just patroling and fighting insurgents, they are helping build the infrastructure such as schools these children go to. The extreme cultural attitudes are in the minority, and just make the most noise. The everyday people are amazingly just like you and me. Try to get a...

    Desperate times call for ... (sorry, long)

    I did the Bootcamp rotation with the addition of a swimming at least an hour 5 times per week, for a total of 15000 yards a week. It made me extremely tired, and I had to have 2 rest days per week, not one, so stretched the rotation out a little longer. I cannot imagine tacking on weight...

    WHY???

    I bought the documentary video Faces of Iraq and what struck me was what beautiful, wonderful, colorful people the mainstream of Iraq are. They are a delightful people.

    intestines and abdominal size

    Don't relax them! Seriously, I see so many women with bad posture, and it really affects their abs, and subsequently their back. The picture in the above article show these women all with good posture using their muscles to hold their core. You need to practice this. When you are standing...

    Exclusively Cathe

    If I work out to a video, I work out to Cathe 95% of the time. I will do some CIA cardio once in a while, and I swim laps 4-5 times per week, but my weight training is always Cathe.

    my first chiropractic adjustment

    Amy, this is normal. After the 4 weeks, there will be a reassesment, and then probably a reduction in how many times per week you go in. But you will always have to go in for "maintenance". I go every other week, others I know go once a month. Think of it this way, your body has been out of...
