Congrats on the job! I've been a nurse for a few years now and work all different shifts. Unless you are absolutely not a night person, you won't have trouble adjusting (it'll take awhile though). Bring some healthy snacks/meals with you- it might be weird to be eating at 3am but you need to...

I was looking at hsn.com and saw this home gym for women. It looks really nice - it's $299 but can do a lot with it- I'm just wondering if anyone has bought it?? Thanks!

I'm really sick of my terrible eating/non-exercising habits I've become accustomed to. I'm 26 and have put on about 6 lbs which isn't a lot but for me it is since I'm short. Part of the problem is I'm in a tough college program- but I think we all have an hour to workout a few times a week. I...

I'm not overweight (5' 105lbs small frame) but my stomach always gets bigger after I eat- so by nighttime I sometimes look pregnant. I don't know why this happens or if anything can fix it. On days when I have to get up at 6am- so I only get 5-6 hours of sleep (I usually get 8-9 hours), my...

Wow! You have your hands full! I feel pretty lazy for not getting my workouts in! I think you should do whatever you can when you get time. You still get your HR up with the cardio and are still working your muscles just the same. The Body For Life book- which is pretty well received-...

carb with protein? So is mixing carbs with some protein the way to even out the high carbs which offer a quick energy release? The pasta that I eat has 220 calories, 2g fiber, 8g protein and 40g carb. I guess since I'm not on any special diet, I never really looked at the carb content. I...

I know a lot of people (including celebs) say they avoid pasta when they want to lose weight. Why is it bad? It has protein and fiber and isn't too high in calories if you eat the correct portions. I understand that portion sizes can be a problem, especially in restaurants, but that's true for...

That's great! What a nice place to get engaged! Where did you two meet?

yorkie I have a Yorkie/Silky mix. He's about 6lbs at 6 mos (not a "teacup") and would fit all of your criteria. He gets along with my mom's Westie who's also a great lapdog (but bigger). The Westie gets tired more easily though and can get annoyed when she wants to stop playing. You need to...

I think you probably are misinterpreting the posts- I'm sure no one here has the sole priority of weight loss so you shouldn't assume that. Everyone states moderation is the most important thing in one way or another. They are just sharing THEIR experiences with alcohol- whether it causes them...

I actually just used mine last night. I always forget I have it! I'm usually not a fan of cardio machines, but I went on for 35 mins last night and watched tv so it wasn't bad. Within the first 3 mins, my legs were burning (again, I don't use it much). I got my HR up pretty high and was...

This tape didn't leave me "drained" when I was finished, but I didn't really think about it since I did feel like I got a good, full-body workout (except for legs). The one thing I disliked (if I had to pick) was lying down on the bench for some strength moves. My HR was still a little high...

As for my upper lip laser hair removal, you do have to let the hair come back. But it's not bad because the hair is usually finer the more sessions you have. Once you can see the hair, you go in for a session. It doesn't come in darker or anything. I'm also someone with dark hair and I HATE...

I use self-tanner, however, I've never tried it on my face. I don't use a super-dark tanner on my body so you don't really notice any difference. As for it coming off, if you let it dry BEFORE you workout, you'll be fine. I've never "dripped" the tanner off, but if you put clothes on too soon...

I agree with the others, tanning is NOT a good idea! I'm 24 and went through a phase where I just wanted to be tan (I'm fair-skinned) since it looks better. So I went to Hollywood Tans a few times. I didn't even get that tan. When I think about it, I realize I was so dumb! I worry about the...

I've had laser hair removal done on my upper lip. I got it done for free since my mom works for a dermatologist. I've gone 3x's. Each session, she shaves the area then applies a gel. After we put on goggles, she starts the procedure. Let me tell you, it hurt!!! My eyes were tearing and I'd jump...

I am NOT a morning exerciser- I've tried it and just have no energy and keep messing up. I don't even feel energetic afterwards. I also don't like having a time limit. It takes me awhile to get motivated to exercise. As for working ft, you'll probably just need to adjust to it. It'll take a...

I just read in a magazine that most diets fail because people don't stick to them long enough. The fitness pro said that you'll see a lot of the results in the 2nd month. So don't give up! Keep us posted on how you're doing! I think eating sweets/junk are why I have an extra 5lbs. I wish I...

I like Mindy Mylrea's tapes because they are advanced in their own way; they're "athletic" workouts- no fancy choreography; and the moves she uses work. She actually has done some of the moves Cathe does in her newer videos. Most Mindy tapes are interval workouts- not straight step. They...

Not me! Ha! I do cardio maybe 3 or 4 times a week doing whatever I feel up to: step, running, spinning. I'll do a weight video one day and on another day lift at the gym. I have no workout plan, which has pros and cons. The cons are it suddenly is Friday and I only worked out twice and I'm...
