    I'm so hungry!

    Carbs tend to make me hungry. Maybe you could try a protein snack like a piece of string cheese with a small apple and few nuts. You could also experiment with eating more by adding lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, and good fats like nuts and avocado. Maybe increase your calorie level...

    Power Half Hour

    The workout is Power Hour. It is one of my favorites. The form pointers between exercises are helpful and I get a good solid workout from it. I consider my level as intermediate.

    Anyone tried Alwyn Cosgrove's Afterburn program?

    Thank you for the info Icumom. It sounds like Afterburn is intended for someone interested in becoming a figure competitor. My ambitions are a lot more modest, like getting my bodyfat down from 32% to 25% for now. I don't want to have to trek off to some gym somewhere. I also don't seem to be...

    Free eBook - Foam Rolling/Self Myofascial Release

    Thanks for sharing the link. I have had good results with Bonnie Pruden's "Pain Erasure" (pressing on tender points with fingers or a stick). This sounds like a good thing to add.

    Digestive Enzymes + Rambling

    serrantdl1--Celiac My sister was diagnosed with celiac last Spring. She was having to get iron infusions and couldn't maintain her magnesium levels, problems that can result from celiac. Her first biopsy was negative. She continued to decline and a second biopsy was positive. Even if the...

    Digestive Enzymes + Rambling

    You might have developed an intolerance to the soy protein. Why don't you try eliminating all forms of soy for a week? This will mean reading all labels because soy shows up in nearly everything. If you don't feel a lot better after a week, then something else is going on. Good luck.

    How do you eat a grapefruit???

    You could try loosening the sections with a paring knife (slice along each side of the membrane and finish by cutting around the whole thing by the skin). I quit doing this once I found the grapefruit spoons. And now squirt along with everyone else. I do close library books before starting...

    Is Cardio Coach getting ready to quit?

    I got 4, 6 and 7. They seemed best for the treadmill because of the length of intervals. I will be trying 4 tomorrow.

    Is Cardio Coach getting ready to quit?

    Another new CC fan! I tried out V. 2 on the treadmill and was amazed how much I was able to increase my speed and inclination. And it was fun! So ordered 3 more. Wheeee!!!

    Help! Cardio Coach question

    Thank you Miss Lee for the suggestions. I'll get 5 and 7 for sure. I run on a dirt road and hope to get back to it when the mud dries out. It will be great having a couple that are good for both treadmill and running.

    Beachbody dilemma , long but looking for advise

    Thanks for the heads up, guys. I was thinking about getting CLX this morning, but don't need the kind of sales tactics that are used unless you go through a "coach". I wouldn't have known to do that. Sending stuff anyway when the order hasn't been completed is bull.

    Gweneth Patrow

    Well, her trainer told her that so she didn't see any harm in passing it on. She definitely is not "bulky" and not my idea of what women should look like, but she has the body that is getting her the screen roles.

    So, what kind of car do you drive and why?

    I have a 2003 Subaru Forester, which I absolutely adore. I need a car with 4WD capability to get up to my house in the winter. I live on the base of a mountain at the end of a dirt road and snow and mud are an issue in the winter. I picked this one because of reliability and decent handling...

    I think I need some drugs...

    I have had problems with dysthymia for much of my life. I started the "Ten Years Thinner" diet by Christine Lydon Dec 25th to "clean up" after the excesses of Christmas and experienced a remarkable change in mood and mental attitude after about a month. I did find that dairy and wheat cause me...
