    STS Video Clips for Disc #3 Now Up!

    Oh I feel so much better! I preordered STS, but was nervous about even being *able* to do a lot of the exercises (yeah, I'm an out of shape wimp). The SMN folks have said all along there would be alternative ways to do the exercises and I've trusted them in that regard (grin), but actually...

    How much viagra spam must a woman endure?

    Before Viagra got big (lol), it seemed like every ad you saw was the "get bigger boobs" thing for women. Personally, I'm kind of amused/relieved that the tables seem to have turned when it comes to our society's obsession with unrealistic sexual attributes. Beth11

    How's everyone doing on the meal plans?

    Yes, please give us more info on the meal plans! I watched the demo on the nutrition section and really liked it. I am a picky eater, and am concerned that my nutritional requirements are not being met. The grading system looks tremendously helpful in that regard, and I am very seriously...

    Lift weights like a girl

    I LOVE that! It's so "in your face". I was in 9th grade when Title 9 passed, and the reactionary bigotry I saw (and personally experienced) against females at that time was pretty intense. Even as a kid it made me so very angry. If I had only known then what I know now, I'd have been...

    Moving On, Cautiously

    Fitarofan, Just be sure you are getting enough calcium! Cancer treatments can really do a number on your bones, and wrists are common fracture points for folks that have a problem with bone thinning. You probably already know all this from consults with your doctors, but it never hurts to...

    Horse Dancing--Wow!

    The really cool thing about dressage is that it is commonly believed to have evolved from the moves war horses were taught to use in battle during the Middle Ages. Knights used horses not just as mass weapons for bowling over foot troops, but for other offensive moves as well. One historical...

    How Will STS work for Me?

    Okay Cathe! Then how will it work for me, because I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum! I'm a scrawny (very scrawny) ectomorph with a bit of a spare tire (doesn't *that* figure....). My arms, legs, and chest are painfully thin and it's very hard for me to build muscle. I've preordered STS...

    need help from dog lovers.....warning....this is gross

    Yep, as everybody's been saying, this is fairly normal. Do a keyword search for Foster&Smith - they sell something called "Dis-taste" for this very thing. Haven't had to use it with my dogs, but I really like their catalog - these guys are vets, and the items they sell are good quality and...

    Can you gain muscle mass while on a calorie deficit?

    RE: Can you gain muscle mass while on a calorie deficit... Oh, this thread is fabulous! I joined this forum just a few days ago hoping to get exactly this kind of info (skinny/fat, trying to build but not knowing what to do nutrition-wise to balance things out & make sure I'm consuming enought...

    what to do?

    Hi Clare! Thanks for the info. I'm actually an old hand at weightlifting, but haven't done it in quite a while. I've always known that there's no such thing as "spot reducing" (but boy, people *do* try to convince you it does exist, don't they? Especially when they are trying to sell you...

    Wellbutrin

    I took it several years ago, and stopped because it was giving me bronchial spasms. Weird feeling - the doc first thought I'd come down with adult onset asthma. Also, as another poster indicated, taking too much can have negative consequences. I accidentally doubled my dose (a low one, by the...

    what to do?

    Hi there. I'm new to the forum (and new to Kathe), and looking for advice about the particular body shape issue that I have - skinny everywhere except my middle! Needless to say, I'd like to build muscle in my arms, legs, and shoulders while losing flab from around the gut. I expect getting...
