I take them all at the same time or I would forget. I was told by my doctor that the magnesium would help the body absorb the calcium quickly and more efficiently. I took calcium supplements all through my pregnancies (I have a milk allergy) and was never told not to take them all at once. I...

I wanna tell all you guys that this thread made my day! LMAO! Then I went downstairs and bumped my barbells together. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

Not counting any that might be lurking under the bed..... 2 pairs dress shoes, worn once and taken off as soon as possible 1 pair Ariat leather clogs 2 pairs Merrell jungle mocs 1 pair Merrell clogs 1 pair Merrell sandals 2 pairs Teva flip flops 1 pair Teva water sandals 1 pair Ugg...

I take One-A-Day for women as well as 1,000 additional mg of calcium citrate and 250 mg of magnesium (to facilitate the calcium absorption). --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

Wow!! I am humbled... I have a photographic memory for numbers --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

I'm really bummed about this because I LOVE the graphics on the tshirt. I'm just more comfortable in a tshirt that's less sheer, especially if it's white. I'm happy for those that like theirs, wear them well!! --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the...

I know there is another thread about this but I couldn't deal with how long it had gotten. I got my "Be as You Are" tshirt today. The "t" should be for "tissue" because that was about the weight and sheerness of the fabric!! It fits and I like the graphic but I can't justify this kind of...

I have a pair of Lucky jeans and a pair of Lucky shorts, both gotten from e-bay dirt cheap. The jeans were new and the shorts were gently used but look brand new. I LOVE them although it's really hard to find them with a short inseam. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I...

Sucking in your gut is a great way to tone your transverse abdominus muscle which runs across your stomach, perpendicular to the rectus abdominus, which is challenged by virtually all ab work (excluding obliques). It's primary function is to provide a foundation of support to your core. Pretty...

My daughter just completed her worst year in school. Not because of the academics, but because of all the social garbage she went through with the girls in her class. One would say she was her best friend one day, the next day - forget it. They tell people not to play with another person...

I have to use wrist weights to increase my resistance incrementally. I can't hold two dumbells at once - my hands are too small!! --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

I have noticed eye rolls on a few occasions... --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

Are there any particular brand of thongs that anyone has found to be more comfortable than others? Boy shorts sometimes feel bulky and bikinis give me the dreaded panty lines. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not...

Also gorgeous in Andover, MA as well. Just took my dog for a walk off-leash on conservation land and she was beside herself with joy!! She even got to go swimming, her idea of heaven. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I...

Just to underscore the above responses. It has been proven to be ineffective and can have a detrimental effect in large doses. And, as Shelley said, the only ways to get the muscles to appear under the belly fat are clean eating, cardio and ab work. No quick fixes here. --Lois "If I...

I am feeling exactly the same as you!! TTOM is due next week and I have been in tears constantly for a couple of days, also for no reason. If it's any consolation, I'm right there with you. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even...

They are very deceptive. It seems like all you're doing is placing one foot on the step and then stepping up with the other foot for however many reps. Doing this on the High Step causes your glutes and hamstrings to fatigue very quickly. Add a resistance band or a dumbell and you're toast...

I'm 5' tall (with shoes on) and I do LowMax on an original club step at 8". I can pretty much do everything except Imaxes at 8". For now, the only modification I have to make is with the High Step. I can only use 4 risers instead of the 5 like Cathe and crew use. --Lois "If I have the...

No, but because I feel my legs get worked out in so many other ways that I rarely do an individual leg workout. I'll do it as part of a total body workout but that's about it. I usually use at least 40 lbs for squats, etc. when I do them. More than 50 lbs. and I'm in the "can't get the bar...

I really like the High Step and I think it has made a difference. I think because it provides more variety and more challenge for the leg muscles. I hate those leg presses on the high step but I love what they've done for my quads, hamstrings and glutes. --Lois "If I have the belief...
