My doctor told me to eat a low sodium diet due to vertigo, but didn't specify what low sodium actually is. I have read different recommendations on the internet. I am trying to keep sodium under 2000 mg per day which really isn't low sodium, but is way lower than what I have been eating. To...

Hi peeps. I'm in the PHiladelphia airport and exhausted. My in-laws already have plans for us for lunch so we are going to hit the ground running. I am so tired!! I hope to check in more extensively when we get to South Bend.

Just starting the thread for today. Where is everyone?

What did everyone think of the show from last night? I have many thoughts about it :D 1) I can't believe Vicky's ugly attitude at the weigh-in of the people that had left the show. Phil lost so much weight and she just glared with her arms folded and didn't even clap or anything. Then that...

I found this recipe in Clean Eating Magazine (Fall 2008) and just got around to making it this weekend. It's really good so I thought I would share. 1/4 c milk (I used vanilla soy) 6 tbsp water 1/4 c old fashioned oats pinch cinnamon pinch nutmeg 1/8 c canned pumpkin 1/8 c sliced almonds (I...

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if there is an ignore feature here on these forums. I know that other forums I am on have it and you can just not see the posts of people that you don't want to, but I can't seem to find it here. Thanks!

Last night's episode of Fresh Air (9/23) was Terri Gross interviewing Gretchen Morgenson about the financial crisis we are going through. I am kind of slow when it comes to understanding economics, but I feel like Morgenstern really explained things well. It is infuriating how we got into this...

I did Low Max again this morning and I like most of the workout. I typically skip the 7th step segment because it is awkward and I don't like it. By doing that I like the workout mostly. However, now I am finding I can't stand blast #3 where you do leg lifts to the side a million times. It's...

DH and I moved into a house last year and we have yet to have anyone over, but decided it was about time. So, we invited over a couple for dinner tonight. Well, I spent a lot of time prepping for this today. Trying to decide what to make, grocery store, baking brownies, cleaning the house...

I know that this forum is full of cat lovers and I am having a problem with some cats in my neighborhood, so I thought you guys might be able to help with my problem. Neighborhood cats have started using my yard as a litter box and they have been digging up my flowers. I know that the cats are...

I belong to a cooking bulletin board and everyone on there raves about Penzey's spices and I never really thought much about it. However, I found a store here in Colorado and decided to check it out. http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/shophome.html Wow, they have really great stuff...

I have read about this site on other forums and decided to check it out. This site has many offerings, but I have just subscribed to the free 20 min podcasts. http://www.yogadownload.com/podcast.asp It looks like you might get two new workouts a month. I tried the Yoga for Runners and...

I just received 4DS and hope to use it soon. I was previewing the clips on the website and saw that in one section Cathe uses a wooden board under her heels when she is squatting. I was wondering what purpose this serves. Does it just target the muscles in your legs differently than a regular...

Well, I guess recipe is kind of a stretch since it is just mixing two things together. Anyway... This month there was a recipe that suggested mixing a half cup of yogurt with a scoop of protein powder. I tried it this way and thought it had too much protein powder, though still pretty...

DH just got home from Costco with a bag of these. WTH was he thinking? My three favorite things in the world all in one yummy bite. These need to be hidden now!!!

I just finished reading the book "Eat Pray Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. Have you read it? What did you think about it?

I have been going crazy making soups and have enjoyed many that Gayle has posted. I found this recipe in Ellie Krieger's new book and tried it. It's really good. Lemon Chicken Soup with Orzo 4 t olive oil 8 oz skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into small chunks pinch of...
