    Advice for aging cat?

    Thanks for all the responses everyone. Just looked at the bottle for the med we are currently giving her which is tapazole. We had looked in to the radioactive iodine treatment but they seemed hesitant to do the treatment on her, perhaps because it would be too harsh on her system now that she...

    Advice for aging cat?

    Wondering if anyone has any advice for dealing with the symptoms of hyperthyroid in an elderly cat. My cat is 17 years old and currently on some medication prescribed by the vet for her hyperthyroidism, but some of the issues that we're still dealing with are: 1) that she often vomits clear...

    Non-video fitness activities for getting in shape?

    What activities have you done that have gotten you into really good shape? I've been having trouble working out consistently and am thinking that taking up something like martial arts, dance, tennis, etc. would be a good idea (and perhaps keep me from yo-yo-ing the same 8 pounds all the time..!)...

    Anybody watching Idol this year?

    This is the first year I've really watched the show...(9 years later??..lol) I'm enjoying Crystal Bowersox and Lilly Scott. I also really like Andrew Garcia though he needs to start picking some more exciting songs because I can't even remember what he did last week. I do think that so far...

    Bad reaction to cleanse? (food poisoning-like symptoms)

    Went to the Dr.'s...he thinks I got food poisoning, which is thought was a possibility. Nevertheless, bad association with this cleanse stuff and it's getting tossed out.

    Bad reaction to cleanse? (food poisoning-like symptoms)

    Yep, this stuff is definitely going in the garbage regardless of whether I can pinpoint it as the cause. Plan to head to to urgent care in the morning if I'm still this ill.

    Bad reaction to cleanse? (food poisoning-like symptoms)

    Wondering if anyone else has experienced a bad reaction to using colon cleanse products. After my first night of taking RenewLife Total Body Rapid Cleanse, I am sick as a dog (vomiting every hour or so, some diarrhea (sorry TMI). There are three components..one has some herbs and I took that one...

    Nutrition Programs

    With WW, some of the issues can be that depending on how much fiber and fat a food has, something from (approximately) 30 calories to 80 calories can be 1 point. I've found that, for myself, with trying to lose the last 10 pounds, that I need to be super precise with the cals. At the beginning...

    What do you order at Starbuck's?

    Misto is Starbuck's fancy name for coffee with steamed milk...it tastes better when they add the hot milk than putting it in yourself and making your coffee cold! Sometimes I order the misto or I'll get the Grande Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte. Light Frappuccino if it's hot outside. And, if I...

    Any opinion on Jillian Michaels 30 day shred?

    I haven't used 30 day shred. I did do her 30 day program from her book "Making the Cut"...I found it to be challenging; there's a different circuit workout for each day. The exercises change about every week or so. I found it challenging--I think it boosted my fitness level. I think it's...

    BodyBugg vs GoWearFit - Please help!!

    Mine hasn't irritated me at all, I barely notice. On checking specific time periods, I also bought the display to go with mine which has a trip meter which you can reset before you start a workout and check out the cals burned afterwards. You don't need the display but I really like it for...

    BodyBugg vs GoWearFit - Please help!!

    I've had the GoWearFit for almost 3 weeks now. Ordered it because I had been doing Weight Watchers for 2 months--losing about 2 lbs right away but then maintaining around 138-ish (I'm 5'3"). The day after getting the GoWearFit in the mail, I weighed 139.8 and I'm now 134.6. I've started...

    DEXA Scan Results: I'm FAT!

    Interesting DEXA results. I'd make adjustments to your eating based on your real world results rather than just the RMR test. What's your eating like in terms of protein/carbs/fats? What I'm starting to do right now is track my daily weight fluctuations for about a month along with my...

    t-tapp

    I used to T-Tapp quite regularly. I think ultimately it depends on your starting condition whether it will be beneficial for you. When I was 20 lbs overweight, it used to be difficult, but these days it is not. Ultimately what I've learned is you'll be better off lifting to challenge...

    HELP!!! I AM GAINING AGAIN

    Not Cathe, of course, but pay close attention to your diet. If your diet is in check you won't be gaining weight even if you don't have time for a workout. Keep track of your intake and you'll be fine! :-)

    T-TAPPING

    I've done T-Tapping on and off for years. It's a good workout..if you follow the form correctly, you will feel it in your muscles and it also gets your HR up. It's not a miracle worker though; you can't just do T-Tapp and eat whatever you want and think you're going to see results. It's a...

    Spinning or Cycling?

    I admire all of you who do spinning at home..I love it at the gym, but part of what keeps me on the bike for a full hour is the fact that I can't just get off and walk out of the class! }( :+
