    Lean muscle vs bulky

    In response to your suggestion of interval-based cardio and exercises which work the whole body, I have a question. Do you think something like Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred would fit this description? I believe she does a lot of exercises that work the whole body as opposed to one muscle group...

    the other woman

    Sounds to me like it has zero to do with jealousy; it's simply that you love your office profession and are having a hard time handing it over. At my old job, which I didn't even enjoy, I still hated when I went on vacation and had to hand my work over for the week. Sounds to me like you are...

    passing the plateau of weight loss

    Hi Amy, Were they diet cokes or regular cokes? I am addicted to my diet coke but have often wondered if they are helping me "hold on" to the fat or possibly increasing my appetite. Has anyone had success with fat loss by giving up "diet sodas"? I switched many moons ago to diet soda; good...

    Mammo callback

    Marla, Happened to me too. Turned out that what they were seeing was a lymph node that was further down than normal. Apparently my lymph nodes are headed south. Still not sure I understood the doctor completely but it was obvious that she wasn't concerned. Try not to worry (easier said than...

    Gary Taubes, Bad Calories and Good Calories

    What do you ladies think of this new book? I saw Taubes on Larry King Live on Friday night. Andrew Weil was on there also. Unfortunately it had been a long day for me and I was half asleep. Has anyone read Taubes' book and do you think he has a strong case? Anyone had success with his plan?

    Angelina Jolie

    Losing a loved one will definitely take away your appetite. I am lucky at 41 years old and still have both parents, but just the "thought" of losing them makes me lose my appetite. I think Angelina has a beautiful heart. I admire the work she has done to try to bring help for the Darfur region...

    My baby died-----second opinion??

    Hi Janice, I just wanted to say that I am so very sorry for your loss. You have went through some very tough times lately. I don't even know what to say. I will be keeping you in my thoughts. You and I are so alike, I feel like you are my twin sometimes. When I say that, I mean that so many of...

    wine and addiction

    Thank you all so much for your heartfelt responses. I won't lie, I still haven't come up with a "date" to stop. I don't want to stop and start, and stop and start. That will upset me and cause me to drink even more. When I quit smoking 12 years ago, I quit cold turkey. I set a date and was...

    wine and addiction

    Okay it's a long story so I will try to be brief. I have MAJOR problems with anxiety. I am on Celexa but it barely helps any. My physician will not give me Xanax or anything similar. In fact I can't find a doctor willing to prescribe a benzodiazepine (sp?). So, a well-intentioned neighbor a...

    Pretty sure I just wasted 2 yrs of my life in nursing..

    Janice, First, good luck on your test. Second, I think you should give yourself a HUGE pat on the back for completing such an awesome accomplishment as nursing school. I am sorry that you are hurting and feeling like you wasted 2 years, but I don't see it as a waste whatsoever. I know several...
