I always do static lunges because they cause me no knee pain since I can set myself in a comfortable position to start with and stick with it. I assume they work approximately the same muscles...they sure are working something!

I appreciate getting your input, as someone who has been through this before. I agree with your statement, that to some extent I have to buy into where she is. I have to accept that she is concerned, and give her good information. Thanks again!

Did anyone see the recent episode where Dr. Phil talks to young girls about body issues? I meant to record it and forgot to, and am kicking myself over it! I have a 7 YEAR OLD daughter who thinks she is too fat, and it really bothers me that she is so young and is already worried about that...

Lately I've been into Paula Begoun's website and products: cosmeticscop.com. She is the lady that writes all those books called "Don't go to the cosmetics counter without me". I find that it has a lot of useful information. She makes good products at a reasonable price. I especially like...

Jillybean - I have trouble with a sweet tooth also, and like to eat A LOT! I've lost 40 lbs. over the last year and a half, and generally have had something sweet to eat every day. Most days, I try to satisfy myself with a smaller sweet (I like the Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches a lot, for...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-02-02 AT 09:49PM (Est)[p]Thanks for the feedback - I love the 'fanfreakingtastic' comment! I'll have to think about this carefully because time is always an issue for me...Honeybunch I noticed your comment to the other person looking for a new rotation following PS where...

I have been doing the Pure Strength series for a few weeks now, and am looking for a change (I love the series, just like to have variety). I have been scoping out the new DVDs, and notice the shipping deal for buying other DVDs, so I've been eyeing S&H. I'd love to hear others opinions and...

When I first started doing squats they really bothered me; a trainer showed me how to do them using a workout ball between my back and a wall. That really helped me to get the form down, and to keep pressure off my knees. After a while I got strong enough to do them on my own. I have Power...

Honeybunch, Thanks for the reply; the variety of CTX makes it very tempting. The high impact is killer for me, though; do you think these tapes modify well to low impact? I like your goals; mine are similar, although I wouldn't mind seeing a gradual shrinking in the behind/leg area! I do...

Honeybunch, I was a little surprised to see your wholehearted support on this one - I thought you were a big fan of low impact and power walking - or am I confusing you with someone else? I've been eyeing this one also, but tend to like Cathe's strength tapes more than the cardio due to all of...

RE: Ezekiel Bread? It is a flourless, sprouted organic grain bread. The one I got was sesame flavor, contains wheat, barley, millet, lentils, soybeans, spelt, yeast, salt, and sesame seeds. It has 80 calories per slice, 3g of fiber, 4g of complete protein (it says). It is a very grainy...

I'm not familiar with the Kashi Slimmers cereal - my latest fave is the Kashi GOLEAN Crunch which has 8g fiber and 9g protein per cup, also 190 calories so you have to watch yourself!

After the recent references to this bread I wanted to find it and check it out...it took a while but I did locate it in the Natural/frozen foods section of my grocery store. Is that where most of you find it? Do you have a favorite 'flavor'? I did have to pop a slice in the toaster...

Okay! Now I have to see that magazine! I love to read about real people who are older and fit - it inspires me! Can you tell I'm turning 40 next year and my goal is to be fitter than ever before?! Thanks for the heads-up, I'm looking forward to seeing it! Rhonda

I love Power Hour, and love the idea of having a Power Hour 2 workout on that same DVD! Rhonda

I am the oatmeal queen! I cannot start my day without it! I use 1/2 c. oats, 1 c. skim milk and microwave for about 2 minutes. After it is cooked, I add 1 t. Splenda, 2T dried chopped fruit (like apricots) or fresh fruit (like blueberries.) Sometimes I add protein powder, peanut butter, flax...

Maribeth - Thank You! Hope your book turned out great! I'm feeling pretty good about my diet - I don't think the negatives of the high protein diet are really going to apply to my situation, because I am still getting lots of fruits/veggies/fiber. I'm really just adding more protein to a...

This idea occurred to me while reading one of Rose's posts on the discussion forum - how about Cathe's famous line: "Don't be afraid of heavy weights...they do nice things for you". I like the idea of quoting Cathe on the shirt. I know there were a lot of other good ideas...just thought I'd...

Charli, Do you get Runner's World magazine? It always motivates me to get moving on my treadmill and gives me new ideas for workouts. This month's issue has a great article about George W. Bush and his running, as well as an article about the perfect 4 day training plan for runners. I plan...

Colleen, I have not decided if I want to go all out with the Body Rx diet. The first phase alone is pretty challenging for me - it recommends eating 1g of protein per pound of body weight, plus 30g of fiber. It goes up from there for phases 2-4. I am having a tough time getting the protein...
