    SAH mom's and food-what do you do?

    Being at home all day and having the temptation of food is a toughie for me. I'm preparing food, easy access to it. I had lost 15 pounds and put five of them back on pretty quick with the holidays. :( I read in a magazine about using your other senses to help satisfy your cravings. They...

    Any runners out there?

    I LOVE to run. The rhythm just does something for me that is so soothing. There is a great book out there called the Lifetime Running Plan. I would recommend it along with all the other good websites everyone has suggested. I get my tunes going on my ipod mini and cruise along. Near the end...

    Does anyone own a Treadclimber??

    read some reviews on it. The biggest concern is that when you have moving parts on a machine, it always comes down to maintenance and repair. On the tread-climber it has twice the moving parts. You can expect a higher expense to maintain and repair this thing. To me, it looks like a...

    How much money would persuade you ................

    I wouldn't do the show. I'm sorry that they glorify all the bad behavior. When you are tired, hungry and trying to win 1 Mil dollars, it sure brings out the "Lord Of The Flies" in people. The worst is when they celebrate people stripping naked for food. Not exactly a role model for me or my...

    What supplements do you take?

    I use L-Glutamine for muscle recovery and immune system. I use Myoplex Lite for breakfast. I also use flaxseed, and an occasional snickers marathon protein bar. I took creatine for a while but I didn't take it long enough to see the effects. Danna

    Does delaying parenthood, affect the kids?

    I'd have to vote that early forties is the latest to have kids. My mom had seven children and her last one when she was 41. Having children that late certainly took it's toll on her, on the family, on the baby. I think that it is pretty selfish to have kids like that 55 year old woman...

    Personal question/workout underwear at the gym

    Yikes! What a visual! I'm glad there aren't exhibitionists like that at our gym. Only one guy who comes every morning in the SAME outfit. Black faded t-shirt with the chest cut out,(eeeww), faded black cargo shorts, nasty, dirty shoes and a black headband. Thanks for everyone's informed...

    Personal question/workout underwear at the gym

    When I exercise with my running shorts and yoga capri's, I generally don't wear underwear. Sometimes, i will wear my running shorts under some other loose athletic pants. That seems to help with moisture control. In the gym, I have had to stick with black pants since any other color turns...

    SEX AND TEENAGERS - HELP WANTED

    I agree with some of the others. You sound like you are afraid to set family rules in your own home. Where does that come from ? I've taught my own boys that this is my home and I make the rules. I'm not an authoritative (meanie) parent. I am authoritative (flexibly firm). I think it is...

    Need help! (again)

    I wish that it would be easy to give you an answer that would be helpful. There are so many factors involved with depression, it would not be wise to even begin to try. i can certainly understand your feelings of overwhelm. i suffer from depression myself. I have found a great deal of relief...
