Thanks soooooo much! I'll check out the website, too. Amy

To the educated "foodie" crowd: I'm creating all the baked goods for a party next weekend. I'm making a low-fat blueberry pound cake and want to snaz up the presentation with some sugered or candied wild violets. I know I've seen this done somewhere and I don't recall it being very difficult...

Congratulations, Cathe! Best wishes to you and your family! Amy

RE: Whoever angers you controls you My sister's best comeback to a guy who was commenting on how fat she was (she's looking good these days).... "I can lose fat; YOU can't lose ugly." Amy

Everyone is doing so well! Here's my week: Run every morning for 30 to 40 minutes Monday- Circuit Max Tuesday- Cardio Kicks Wednesday- Power Hour Thursday- Firm Super Cardio Friday- MIS Saturday- Interval Max Sunday- Tandem ride with DH for 1 1/2 hours Everyone--have a great week! Amy

LAST EDITED ON Apr-06-02 AT 11:26AM (Est)[p]Robyn, Yes, too much cardio can burn muscle, BUT in my case, I find it very, very, mucho, extremely (get the point?) hard to burn fat, especially around my middle. Hence, the extra cardio, which works for me, not for everyone. I have muscle, I just...

I go to the gym when I'm bored with all my tapes, especially cardio and my treadmill and running outside. I usually use the elliptical at the gym for some different cardio. I also go to the gym when I'm doing a heavy lifting rotation. I like to hit my legs with the squat rack, hack squats, leg...

Hi, Amy! I'm Amy, too! Welcome! Hope you enjoy the best forum around! Amy

Donna, I also haven't been checking in very often. I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I'll keep you in my prayers. The death of child is (I think) the hardest to accept. It's an unnatural progression...my mom never fully got over the death of my sister. And my sister, who had a stillborn, still...

RE: Thanks guys!! Wow, Amy! What a recipe! I'll save that one for a mega-cheat meal. And, BTW, just want to tell you that you are an inspiration to me. I rooted for you the whole time you were training for the competition, but I'm so glad that you feel free to live your life the way you see...

Kandy, My sister lost about 100 pounds since last year and running was the biggest factor besides a good diet and weight training. She is about 5'9" and weighed almost 300 pounds. We used a book that was not only inspirational but fabulous as far as a program to follow. I'd recommend it: The...

RE: YOU ARE ALL SO GOOD. Hi, Murph, So sorry to hear about your accident and that I'm so late posting my apologies. We just got home from a short vacation and I'm just now checking in. I've watched my husband recoup from a terrible rock climbing fall over the past year. He's a fitness freak and...

Hi, Cathe, Wow. You look incredible. And what a little man Eric is turning into?!? I'm thinking of you and your family during these exciting times! Amy

RE: Hi again Amy Kim, Great! Have a wonderful time. And I'm supposing (after reading the brag board) that you'll be the hottest little ski bunny in a turtleneck there! Amy

Bobbi, Good luck in the race. I'd be right by your side, because I don't run fast, but I don't run too slow, either. I'm not a jackrabbit, but I'm not the tortoise either. As long as it's fun! Have a wonderful day and I'll be thinking of you both. Amy

RE: Oh No!!! Honeybunch, The more I think about it, I'm really impressed with your baking. You know, I'm waxing rhapsodic about baking, but baking, especially creative baking makes me think of my Mom. That in itself is "enough said" and speaks volumes to me about who you are as a person. Your...

RE: Oh No!!! Debbie, Oh, so lucky! Just a little more cardio on "testing" days and you'll be OK! Amy

Bobbi, I read your posts and I wish we could run together. I haven't had a running partner since 1997. I had my sister running, but she's a backslider right now...you know, smoking, drinking. I pray for her every day. You and everyone here are my heroes! Daily! Amy

RE: Heading to Banff myself at the end of March Kim, You're a braver soul than I. Careening down steep surfaces at high rates of speed just scares living daylights out of me. Now, give me a mountain, some rock walls, even ice walls, and I'm fine. But downhill skiing? Forget about it. But...

Honeybunch, I'm not even going to look at the winner! I'm confident that you'll be a winner next time! You've put so much effort and creativity into your recipes that I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Now that you kind of know what the judges are looking for in a recipe, there will be no...
