    Bare Minerals again!

    Ditto the color problem. I originally ordered "Tan" but found it too dark & orangey for me. Now I have the Medium, and it's a little too light for my summer skin. I wish I had seen the color "swatches" on Sephora before ordering... Looks like Medium Tan might be a better choice for now...

    OT, Male or female cat

    Congrats on the new baby! We brought a new little boy Maine Coon home last summer to our 2-yr old pound kitty. Despite the fact that the new guy (Oscar) was tiny and our other cat (Seb) weighs 17 lbs., Seb acted completely terrified of Oscar, even though all he wanted to do was play... It was...

    BFL'ers -Some questions..

    hi guys! what a timely topic since i just finished reading EFL last night. i have a couple of questions as well. first of all (and this is probably a dumb one), on the portion size thing-- is a portion of meat the size of just the hand part of your open palm or the hand including your...

    It's true!! STRESS CAN MAKE YOU FAT

    i have heard/read a little about this, too, and mostly because of my personal experience. beginning early last spring, i started to notice a general increase in the flab on my stomach. it is still driving me crazy!!! my body weight has remained fairly stable since i started college ten years...

    Need advice about gaining weight

    hi, i just had a thought. when my mom (who was bulimic) was in the hospital, they gave her ensure. it's a high-calorie, and i would imagine a very nutritious, drink. maybe you could add one a day or something to your diet just to supplement your calories? i think there are also weight-gain...

    Jillybean!

    jillybean, i have a question... i looked up your rotation and am wondering if the ADD biceps, for example, is in addition to just the cardio portion of the tape listed or tacked onto whatever body part follows that cardio workout. does that make sense? thanks!

    DVD Disappointments -- Wish I had Stayed with VHS

    CATS and Cathe/Working out

    perfect timing on the topic! my hubby and i just got a new maine coon kitten two days ago, and i was just wondering how he's going to react to my workouts... i fear that he is going to insist on wrapping himself around my feet like he does when i'm walking around the house, and that could be...

    Slow & Heavy!!!

    RE: Hey Ruth! thank you for asking this question, DebbieH! i have been reading all the great things about S&H and am tempted to try it... but once upon a time i tried to focus more on heavier lifting, and my butt and thighs grew noticeably (eek!). so i am wondering if you shrink back down...

    My God Cathe is so tiny!!!!

    yes, i agree completely... the gaunt face makes someone look so much older than they really are. when my mother died (technically from pneumonia but ultimately from bulimia), she weighed around 70 lbs. she was only 5', but my whole life she heard people telling her she looked horrible. those...

    why is my middle growing?

    ha ha... definitely no baby in here! :-) well if stress really does increase fat deposits around the middle, that could be my answer. i just had a wedding in may, two weeks after finishing my toughest semester yet of b-school! perhaps the last-minute planning rush combined with final...

    why is my middle growing?

    hi everyone... i am very puzzled by what i have noticed as a recent redistribution of my weight. even though i have not altered my workout or eating habits and my weight has not changed, it seems that my waist is now much bigger & there's more fat on my tummy. ??? is this simply something...
