ROFLMAO! So true! CC you are a strong (you can get thru a cathe workout!), independent (you've gotten this far in life on your own) and a wonderful person (think of all the others you've helped)!! Don't believe anybody or any voice in your head that says otherwise!!

The China Study was a huge eye opener for me. I reference that book often.

Uggghhhh....the dating scene.... I'm in it now too. I was married for 12 years and went thru a divorce two years ago. I think the hardest part is that you really have to put yourself out there and I know I'm just not the type to fluff my feathers for all too see :) Then when you finally do...

I started taking thyroid medication years ago and had about the same level as you do now. It's taken years to get the dosage right and I'm now on .75 levoxyl (or generic form) once a day and cytomel (lowest dose don't remeber what that is though) twice a day. I didn't feel good until my...

Hey Pam! I was only sore the first time through too and pushed my way through the second workout and haven't been too sore since (there is some soreness). I have been extra good about all the stretchs both before and after the workout, not sure if that's what's made a difference for me or if...

I've been anticipating the release of the Ipad too and was super excited to get the notice about the start of the preorder. Then I went to the website to order only to find out that if you want the 3G service (with the default) wifi you have to pay extra for the device and then a monthly fee on...

Hi Pam! I'm a fellow Insanity virgin (has been) :) I'll be doing my 5th Insanity workout tonight. I sweat buckets during these too. It's amazing how much better you get and are able to keep up with the workout each time you do them though. I really like this series and the way it's laid...

I got the Insanity package from QVC last night! It arrived 6 days early! I did the first workout, I think it was called cardio plyometrics or something like that. It is a tough workout! I was able to finish but sure wasn't able to keep up with them during some of the drills. I don't...

I don't necessarily go up a size in running shoes. What I usually do is try on pair after pair of running shoes (with my running socks on) until I find a pair that doesn't slip, rub or feel even slightly tight on any part of my foot. The tip of my toes doesn't touch the inside of the shoe. I...

My Insanity order from QVC is scheduled to arrive March 8 too!! Except of course I want it now :) This instant gratification thing rarely works for me.....lol! I heard a news story just yesterday that 'new studies' are showing how great HIIT is for you. But we already knew that ;) I'm...

I did it! I caved and bought Insanity from QVC. Only problem is it won't arrive until March 8.....Ugghhh that's slow shipping for $10! I want it NOW! LOL!

Bare minerals. It's not a hard powder and it's a little messy when used in the compact they sell, but it's the absolute best thing for acne prone skin. I was a total skeptic but finally gave it a shot and it completely changed my skin for the better. Every so often I try some other foundation...

Great information. Thanks everyone! I take it, I can't call myself a vegan if I still purchase leather, is that right? Is there a word for someone who eats vegan but still has and/or wears leather? I have to admit that I do have a lot of leather (car, couch, shoes, etc.), but will do my best...

I can't believe how many vegetarians and vegans there are on this forum :) I've been vegetarian (nearly vegan) for over a year and mostly vegan for about 4 months. I have a couple questions. I say "mostly vegan" because I'm still not sure if I can consider myself a vegan if I eat vegan but...

I came across this article today and thought it was very interesting. Hopefully you'll agree. It's mostly based on one persons opinion but does reference studies that have been done on how to optimize your fat loss based on how much time you have to train in a week...

It's been so long ago that I stopped eating gluten that I hardly remember the symptoms. Some that I do remember, which cleared up within two weeks of not touching any gluten are; scalp psorasis, lots of digestion issues, joint aches and pains (similar to carpal tunnel), random skin rashes...

I do think it's worth getting. She goes into great detail about hormones and how to keep them balanced whether you're dealing with PMS or any phase of menopause. If anything reading this book made me realize that the cravings and triggers I experience are explainable and can be dealt with. A...

I picked up Jillian Michaels book, Master Your Metabolism. She talks a lot about organic products and not just in your food but all around you; cleaning products, skin care, lawn care, etc. She also lists her favorite skincare/makeup lines. I was wondering if any of you have tried these...

My girlfriend, who's normally a clinique girl, tried this and liked it for a couple of weeks and then all of sudden she was breaking out and having problems with it. She stopped using it and went back to her standby and didn't have anymore breakouts.

Here's a strange answer :) I read, on one of the health websites I frequent, about a person who stopped using non stick (teflon coated) pans and when he did this he stopped getting up to pee several times at night. I think it took a couple nights before he really noticed a difference. I don't...
