    Heel pain, anyone?

    Thanks, Gayle! No, it doesn't seem to hurt at any other time. But if I forget and take that stretch too far - WOW!!! I can feel it for sometimes an hour after. I wear orthotics, and this pain is relatively new - maybe going on for a week...

    Stricter Controls on Advertising for Kids

    I totally agree with you, Melissa. Parents need to set the example and say no when needed. It's not up to Government or anyone else to teach our children how to eat healthfully. My daughter is 16 and balks when there is a dinner with nothing green! (That's usually when Daddy cooks! LOL!!)...

    How to Beat Evening Fatigue?

    Gosh, I know the feeling...you want to just, "rest on the couch for a moment...zzzzzzzzzzzzz"! Oh, dear! I used to do my workouts after work, too, but I was just too tired, so I changed to mornings. I still get pooped at the end of the day, so I'll take my doggies for a walk or do something...

    Heel pain, anyone?

    Hi Everyone! I've been experiencing weird pain in my right heel and thought I'd ask if anyone has had a similar experience. I feel a pulling/burning sensation when I do a standing hamstring stretch with my toes pointed toward the ceiling (I can't even stretch my hammies since the pain starts...

    CCPP, The Thanksgiving Workout!!!

    So sorry for your loss. Your attitude strikes me as very positive and upbeat - that's wonderful. In truth, I've never been 'thankful' for my body until very recently. I'm in my mid-40's and am realizing that it's easy to slide downhill unless a conscious effort is made to stay at the top. I...

    ex-tanners

    I tan for a week or two before summer vacation. I try to get a little base color before I go on vacation in the summer. I'm fair and would burn to a crisp! I can only tan for about 5 mins. I find that if I do a little tanning before holiday, I don't burn. That's about all I do - 2 weeks a...

    Popcorn suggestions?

    [I've been eating a bag almost every day for several years now! (Don't even get me started on how useless the FDA is!!) ..I work for FDA, and the Agency really isn't useless - underfunded (until very recently) and overburdened with unfunded mandates. Truthfully, we work very hard for very...

    Eating before a workout

    Thanks to you all! My workouts, for a while, were fine, then inconsistent, and now, overall, they seem to be really hard. I've lost weight and firmed up quite a bit, so I suppose that I just don't have the 'reserve' I once had and upping the pre-workout cals may be the way to go! Thanks...

    Eating before a workout

    Hey, everyone, I thought I'd ask for some opinions here... my day typically goes like this: 5:45 - wake up; get ready for work 7:00 - leave; drop daughter at school 7:20 - arrive at work; have a cup of coffee 8:30 - drink h20 and eat a hard-boiled egg 11:00 - workout (usually a Cathe...

    Can someone help me with false eyelashes??

    Duralashes are okay, but the strips are easier to apply. Be sure to use the glue to be used with the strips. You can get lashes that are meant to be used on the outter 2/3 of the lashes, which give a nice, full look. If you're going to use the ones that start at the inner corner of the eye...

    I'm thinking of Chalean Extreme - opinions?

    I do like that the workouts are shorter yet are still challenging. And that cardio is 'built in' to the program. I know it sounds lazy, but I don't even want to spend the energy deciding what kind of cardio to do! I'm just in a funk and I thought a program that's all worked out for me would...

    Just to stir up a hornet's nest, what does everyone think about this?

    Thanks for that! This is an interesting topic for me, sparked by the whole Plan B controversy where a number of pharmacists said they would not dispense it because of their moral beliefs. While I can respect their belief system, I wonder if that is a valid basis for not dispensing? I work at...

    I'm thinking of Chalean Extreme - opinions?

    I NEED to get out of this rut!! I'm thinking that Chalean Extreme might be a good fit for me right now. I understand the workouts are about 45 or so minutes and are pretty intense. I have STS, but zero gumption to do the all the necessary calculating work beforehand. Any opinions on this...

    Advice! I need to get back into shape!

    Ugh - I'm right in the middle of this slump myself! I'm frustrated and feel I can't get on the 'up' side of fitness. I feel soft and weak - ick! I think I'm too impatient and want results faster than they come, after a few weeks I get discouraged and give up. =[ But I keep starting again...

    Just to stir up a hornet's nest, what does everyone think about this?

    Just curious, melanalysus, do you think you could ever refuse to dispense a cocktail that's been prescribed? On the other topic - I believe a terminally ill patient has the right to die as they wish, whether that be by assisted suicide or God's will. In the early 90's, I had to watch my...

    VERY disappointed in customer service

    I was so shocked at the kind of "whatever" attitude! I've NEVER had problems with cathe.com. In fact, I've always been really impressed! This person offered zero help. I did send an e-mail message, so I hope I hear from them soon...

    VERY disappointed in customer service

    I purchased the STS Shock Cardio some time ago and now cannot find the e-mail with the 20% discount code. I see that today is the last day to use the code, so I called "customer service" to ask that they re-send the coupon or provide me with the code once they verify my order. Apparently they...

    Oprah and Somers misrepresenting self hormone therapy

    The issue with FDA are the claims that these companies are making. If they are intended to treat a disease or condition, they must submit safety data to the agency for review. This is to ensure, in part, that the product on the market is relatively safe and manufactured to certain standards...
