    New Workouts- On the Fence Help Me Decide

    I'm totally on the fence, as well. This has been the first time I've not pulled the preorder trigger on the first day! My problem is mostly financial, however. I know these don't seem that different from what I already have, but I don't mind that. When you do a particular workout over and...

    I don't understand this thyroid thing

    I have slight hypo problems right now. I'm not an expert, at all, as I've not found anybody willing to dig deeper into it. According to a couple of doctors I've seen, there are several reasons the thyroid could not be functioning correctly without you necessarily having an autoimmune disorder...

    Dairy and Acne

    I wish my acne problems were that simple! I realized I was lactose intolerant nearly 17 years ago, and have barely touched dairy since. I have since given up fried foods, processed foods, sugars, breads, corn, soy, wheat, gluten, and many other things that I am sensitive to. I eat...

    Garden of Life Super Seed

    I have a lifetime of constipation problems, and I finally found THE ONLY THING that works for me. Magnesium. I had a doctor recommend Natural Calm Magnesium to me in March, and I am finally problem free. He told me that it is safe and that you can't really take too much of it. Even if that's...

    It's a wrinkly world

    I don't iron anything. Ever. I just don't care enough. If my clothes are clean, I'm totally satisfied. My SO, on the other hand, irons his clothes every single week. There's a reason his clothes look brand new and nice, and mine look as old and worn as they are :p.

    Ack! Moth invasion! YUCK!

    My mom always taught me that moths inside the house meant good luck. Not sure why... but because of that I never developed a skeeve-reaction to the moths. I like them. My old cat also used to chase them around - even in his last few weeks when he wasn't motivated to do anything, he'd go after...

    Triphala - Anyone know a good brand?

    Thank you! I need this. I've suffered from severe digestive issues my whole life and only recently have I been diagnosed with a chronic infection (candida and parasite) that has destroyed the lining of my intestines. I've never heard of triphala, so I'm glad to hear it worked for you.

    fits of homicidal rage...

    I have a standard policy of not answering anything if I don't feel like it - I'm just one of those. It angers me (greatly, I might add) that just because I have a door/cell phone/computer that people assume I must be reachable at all hours of the day or night. Cell phones have been the final...

    Pilates video for pelvic floor?

    Hi Sandra, I know that you asked for a pilates DVD, but I thought I'd share an article with you I just read in Yoga Journal. It goes through the correct way to rehabilitate the pelvic floor in anything that you do, whether it be a yoga practice, pilates session, or regular exercise. The...

    Insomniacs, please help a desperate sista out!

    Well, Valium is quite dangerously addictive, so they are very careful. I've had the same bottle for months and months and months and I only use them now when I fly (TERRIFIED of flying) and the occasional severe panic attack. Valium works in the very short term, but long-term it actually...

    Insomniacs, please help a desperate sista out!

    I have had insomnia problems, too, for the last two years. It started when I came down with mono and sent into the extreme zone when I was given prednisone to deal with some of the mono symptoms. In my case, it is very much anxiety related. Unfortunately, I became dependent on Valium on and...

    Anyone else not have a use for ipad?

    That's exactly the problem! I don't think even Apple knows the answer to that one. :cool:

    My son's yearbook, I need to vent.....

    Or perhaps you should just look at that and let it remind you that you are incredibly blessed for being sane enough to raise a normal child, complete with a normal yearbook inscription. I wouldn't let a dig like that upset you. Be upset for those poor girls that were robbed of a happy...

    Need advice from veggies, please

    I agree with you. It rang true with me (and my dad, who is also an O), but my mom is an A and her section didn't make any sense to her at all. To me, it was only a validation of what I was already discovering for myself. I do think that most people can eat veggie or vegan and have no problems...

    Need advice from veggies, please

    I've had the same problem as you. I started dating my SO over 4 years ago now and he is a vegetarian and eats completely vegan at home (which is most days). As I was already heading towards vegetarianism and even toying with raw vegan, I was more than fine with this. He cooks and I have no...

    Please, someone tell me ITBS can get better!

    I feel your pain! I had to quit running nearly 4 years ago now because of my ITB and it STILL won't leave me alone. I've been sidelined with other things in between, but, seriously, I've given the darn thing plenty of rest. Fitness-wise, I could probably run 3 miles right now (not great, but...

    green smoothie recipes

    I should be careful about what I say I hate, because then I might scare people off from something they might love! I think apples and pears are even used quite often in smoothies and green smoothies, but they do something texture-wise that I really don't like.

    essay papers

    Are these people not even remotely aware how out of place these posts are in a Fitness Forum? At least spam websites that won't get you deleted within minutes if you're trying to drum up business! Sounds like somebody could use a little research paper assignment of their own! :cool:

    Fraxel laser

    I'll be doing a series of 5 soon for acne scars. I have no idea about results, though. I've been doing Levulan treatments for acne (not working well), and from what I've been told, Levulan is WAY more painful and intense than the Fraxel and I've survived them just fine. The best thing I ever...

    green smoothie recipes

    I'm sure you already know this if you've been researching, but a good blender makes all the difference in making it taste good or making it taste like you've just blended your salad with a piece of fruit stuck in there. I've also found that you can do very little wrong with baby spinach. It...
