First off, you do look fabulous! Congratulations! I'd love to hear what your rotation was that you said worked so well for you.

I guess I would call your Mom and tell her that your DH won't go just like your DF wouldn't come to your house for the birthday celebration. Your mother must be aware of that possibility. If this invitation isn't with your DF's knowledge or agreement, I wouldn't even consider going. It's...

I received Jari's Ripped 1000 from Collage Friday evening just before I left for work. I haven't had a chance to do it yet. Hopefully today I'll get to at least preview it.

I don't think people really believe any age is too old to exercise, it's just an excuse. There are many young people who don't exercise, too, but they just use different excuses. I'm too tired, I'm too busy, I don't like the gym, I have no one to exercise with, etc., etc. The "I am too old"...

I asked my doctor to check my thyroid at my last exam because I have put on some weight recently, am tired and sluggish. I thought I had the symptons, but the test came back negative. I have heard there is an even more exact blood test if the first one comes back negative. I didn't go into...

You don't know anyone really unless you walk in their shoes. I'm not condoning adultery by any means, but there are a lot of things I used to think were horrible that I realize aren't necessarily so horrible after all. We're all human, we make mistakes and show poor judgment, but we're not...

My dd likes to shop at Aeropostale. She's teeny, tiny and the size "0" short fit her well. It's not high end clothing, but the quality's not bad for casual type clothes. It's definitely geared for teens, but you can find basic cotton chino type clothing.

This kind of thing infuriates me. The absolute greed of big corporations. 1) Let's take jobs away from Americans. 2) Let's use unbelievably cheap, overseas labor and save millions of dollars and not care about the loss of jobs here or the conditions in these overseas shops, and 3) Let's keep...

I used it last spring or summer when I had blonde highlights. People told me it did brighten the highlights. I don't think it added too much extra shine, but my hair was shiny. I think you rinse the glaze out, though, if I remember correctly.

Ooooh, Traci, that looks perfect. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

I'm trying to get back into a regular exercise regimen after being somewhat inconsistent lately. I checked out Cathe's beginner rotation, and I may try it, but I think I'll need more variety and I can probably kick it up a slight notch from beginner. I'm not real big on straight cardio...

I actually stopped wearing jeans a few years ago when I developed my midlife pot. I don't like the high-waisted soccer mom jeans,(not ready to look old yet) but I don't look good in the low riders anymore. Not nice seeing a little pot hanging over. So I wear yoga pants and Marika capris and...

I used to order their clothes all the time, but now that I've put on a little weight, I've been hesitant. They do run a little small and I really don't want to order a size bigger than I'm used to (I know, just my stupid little mental block). I think they make their tops tight and low cut on...

Thank, Traci and Debbie. Very helpful info. I guess Tanita is the way to go.

I want to get a new scale, but not sure which one to get. I want a digital, as accurate as possible, but I don't want to spend a lot of money. I have heard mixed things about the Tanita scale that measures body fat percentage, too, which I would like, but only if it's accurate. Any...

There are a lot of unruly kids out there nowadays, but honestly, I think there always were. I remember when I went to school (many, many years ago), there were always kids who were disrespectful, who fought other kids, teased other kids, whatever. I remember in 4th or 5th grade, I got a new...

I do agree that of course you give a gift you can afford, first and foremost. When my niece got married 5 years ago, we gave her $250.00. She had a very expensive wedding, but I gave her that amount because she is my niece and I could afford to. Even if she had a casual, inexpensive wedding...

I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from my right jaw about 14-1/2 years ago. I have no idea what the procedure was called, but my dermatologist removed it right in his office. He had the "mole" tested and it came back basal cell carcinoma but no further surgery was needed. I had no...

I had a similar situation with my niece a few years ago. She went from being a thin but healthy kid, to a stick in a matter of months. She looked like a skeleton, it was an obvious weight loss on a growing 14 year old. When she came to our house, she would eat a piece or two of lettuce and...

I definately don't think food and snacks should be used as punishment. That's outrageous. My kids are a bit older now, but I can't ever recall snacks being withheld for poor behavior. Reward systems were usually used, such as stars given to reinforce good behavior and after attaining so many...
