The original BodyMax. I don't do it now, cuz, well, I'm broken, but it used to be my "fitness guage." As soon as it got too hard, I knew I was slacking. But I've always dreaded it. Love the 2nd one, though.

I loved your post. It was an eye-opener for me in a weird way. No offense taken here at all. We've all committed some bully-ish acts in our lives. We're human. I don't believe I'm a bully, but perhaps I'm in denial and really do believe I'm superior! :o

Wow. I actually dated somebody for 5 years who fit every single item on that list except for ONE! He did like to do things/give things to others (only on his terms) so that he could PROVE how wonderful he was. Amazing. Thanks for pointing that out, as it kind of put that time in my life (and...

I have severe acne so (when I wore makeup) I washed my foundation brushes after every use :confused:. I had three brushes so that it wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have time to wash one day. I used to not wash my eyeliner/eyeshadow brushes very often, but realized that my eyes were quite...

Supporting him and believing in his struggle is an important thing you can do (and are doing). I've been going through very similar things the last couple of years, but those close to me don't take me seriously. Apparently it hasn't occurred to them maybe something is wrong when I go from a...

I love monk, too. I'm very sad to see it end. My SO and I were tears for the entire two episodes. Honestly, I loved Sherona more, and miss the shows with her. I wasn't even happy with last season's episodes. But I love it still! What a great idea and a great group of people to play...

I agree with Carola. I think that we tend to be really.... intentionally ignorant (?) ... of the fact that cheating in the celebrity/political/wealthy world is not only occurring, but totally normal and rampant. I'd be hard pressed to believe there are any "good ones" out there that have...

LOVE Monk! I haven't watched the finale yet, but I will this weekend. I haven't been too happy with the last two seasons, but I'm still sad to see it end.

Nancy, you read my mind! I had a good talk with my mom about the issue yesterday (well, I cried a lot and mumbled a few things). Luckily, my family is very, very understanding and supportive. They expect no gifts, and my mom even offered to send me money to help out. I told her to hold onto...

Hi there! I have actually been on Retin A and Retin A micro for over two years. (I also went on it for a year back in 2003). It helps get rid of the smaller bumps, but it's done nothing for the rest of it. And I mean nothing. I think that the cystic acne I have is forming such deep...

Thank you, Nancy!! Why on earth do people feel inclined to say things like that? I mean, it's one thing to let snide comments fall out of your moth to a passerby (not excusable, either), but to actually work on formulating a statement like that for somebody you're working with. I could...

I know you posted awhile ago, but I only now saw this post. PUP and PLB are my favorite workouts. They kill me without killing me, if that makes any sense. I tend to use Lower body one day, upper body the next day, and then cardio, then something different the next day, then repeat lower...

I think the fact that you go back to it, even when you've faltered, is the most important thing. Most people are rarely 100% consistent, particularly when life goes badly (even though, of course, that is best :D). But if you maintain your desire to be healthy in the long run, it helps...

Thank you for that. Even though I know that those who love me, love me anyway, it hurts when you get the looks and comments from strangers. There is still that stigma out there that people have acne because they can't be bothered to wash their face! My diet isn't even bad! But especially...

Kassia! I am so sorry about your coworker. I actually seem to remember you mentioning her in the past. She sounds like a horrible human being, so please don't take anything she says to heart. She obviously has real problems with herself (like you said, not happy in her marriage, most likely...

Thanks everyone. I am so incredibly touched by your support and understanding. I agree with each and every one of you. Completely. I'm not sure if the realization regarding what I've been doing is a revelation or not, but it just became more clear, if that makes sense. I'd become so...

Thanks Gayle, So you wouldn't say that "vinegar" was the first thing that came to mind, right? :cool:

Well, it's Christmas time, and we all know what that means. I don't usually go overboard with Christmas. My mother does, but otherwise my family is pretty normal about the whole excess thing. My problem this year is that I've spent tons of money ON MYSELF and have nothing left. I've had a...

Thanks Kathryn! I'll look for the raw pickles first, as that's a good introduction for me, I think. It's really difficult to find anything unpasteurized, even at Whole Foods. I found Raw Kim Chi and Sauerkraut, but there is no unpasteurized yogurt, milk, or miso (I looked for that, as...

I figured that you guys would be the best people to go to for random questions nobody can answer for me! :D "Eat for Health" is Joel Furhman's newer follow ups to "Eat to Live" which I already own. I'm wondering if these new books are worth it for those who already have the original book...
