Very excited for this new series!! Just curious if there is a specific date set for the end of presale prices? Thanks, Laura

Just wondering if anyone practices food combining. I've been reading up on it and it's an interesting idea. Tried today to just eat fruit before noon and although I love fruit I just didn't feel full. Ate some brunswick stew for lunch that was almost right combination wise and a salad but I...

I'm going to the beach next week and need some help. Whenever I use Coppertone sunscreen I get little bumps on my legs. I don't know if there is something in it I'm sensitive to. Any suggestions?

Went to Best Buy today and they were doing a big promo there for Direct TV. We are tempted to try it because it will be cheaper than our current plan with Cox. I've had cable for soooo long it makes me a little nervous to switch. Anybody have any recommendations?

I just got done reading an interesting book, The Raw Truth. In it is a lot of good information on sprouting but I'd like some first hand information if anyone has tried it. I did a search and way back in 2006 there is a post where Kathryn had ordered some stuff from Sproutman to try. Just...

Hi Cathe, Obviously you are in terrific shape. Just wondering if you ever wear a heart rate monitor and if so, what kind of calories do you burn doing your workouts? I've been using one for a while now and find that I'm getting a little compulsive about it. Even after doing a killer workout...

I look at Fitnessista's blog often and she loves the Sun Warrior Protein Powder. I was curious and went to their website. It sounds great but I'm curious about the ingredients. Are there any artificial sweeteners? Also, there was a post a while back about metals in protein powders. How does...

I went to a local grocery store today and their health food section rocked! I found Bob's Red Mill Chia seeds and bought them but don't really know what to do with them. Any suggestions? Also found GTs Kombucha. Not so sure I'm going to be able to stomach them but I'm going to try :) Bought...

The are so many recipes out there using protein powder but I'm hesitant to use it. I worry that it isn't entirely safe. Am I worrying about nothing? Also, for those that use it, what brands are the best tasting? I don't eat any artificial sweeteners. Are there brands that don't contain...

My DH snores at night and it is getting worse! Has anyone used the Breathe Right Strips? Do they really work and has anyone heard of any potential dangers about using them? I need to find a solution! He sleeps like a log and I lay there fuming :( Thanks!

Hi all- I'm really thinking about doing the BFFM challenge but I need to come up with my body fat % in order to qualify. My diet has been a mess lately and since you have to be very accountable with your daily entries on the BFFM forum it may just be the kick in the pants I need. I've done a...

I started using a GWF to monitor my workouts last year and felt really good about calories burned during my workouts. About a month ago I decided to get a HRM. Well, first the HRM(which I feel gives a more accurate calorie burn) showed numbers much lower than the GWF. I was okay with that but...

I received an email from Beachbody yesterday and there were some awesome sounding dessert recipes. The one that caught my eye was for chocolate mousse. The ingredients were unsweetened cocoa powder, dark chocolate, agave nectar, vanilla extract and AVOCADO. I had an avocado at home so I...

Hi All, Just curious for those of you with GWFs and HRMs, what kind of numbers have you been getting for the new shock cardios? I just did MMA Boxing and only burned 127 cals according to my new Polar HRM. I really think the arm movement thing during kickbox workouts really skews the numbers...

My 15 year old nephew is getting braces tomorrow and I think it would be fun to send him a care package. Any suggestions on what to send? DH and I were lucky enough not to ever have braces so we don't have a clue. Thanks in advance!!

I've been eating this peanut butter for a while now and love it. I've always refrigerated it but wonder if I have to. I opened up a new jar tonight and man does it taste so much better at room temperature! Do those of you that eat it refrigerate it? Thanks, Laura

I am really wanting to get an under the counter water purifier for my kitchen sink. I need to stop buying bottled water and get one of those refillable bottles to use with water from the tap. Can anyone suggest a brand of purifier to buy? How hard to install? How much money? Also, what's...

I have soooo many circuit workouts in my collection but I struggle to find a place for them in my rotations. I usually alternate cardio days and weight days and feel when I do a circuit workout(on my weight day) I'm just not getting enough weight work. I did Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Cardio Sculpt...

I did the 3 month STS rotation when it first came out. Next I did the CLX 3 month rotation. I had some results with STS but I had great results with CLX. My eating was much cleaner during the CLX rotation so that obviously made a difference. I also started the Insanity rotation when that...
