    Talk to me about Flax, Flax Seed and Flax Oil

    Hi, I've been taking Barlean's Highest Lignan Flax Oil for several years and have seen a huge difference in hot flashes, pms, symptoms, etc. I have figured out exactly how much I have to take in order to relieve the negative symptoms. I buy the 32oz bottle and keep half in the freezer and...

    **** Watercoolers Hump Day Wednesday ****

    Hi guys, Wendy, I'm glad the issue with the shoulder is just tendonitis and nothing more serious. I'm sure that can end up also being nagging though. I think I had it off and on for years in the tendon behind my left knee when I was younger. It rarely bothers me now though. You mentioned a...

    UGH this drives me CRAZY!

    Hi, Have you seen the cost of diesel fuel? It's quite a bit higher than gas......My husband has a business that requires the use of large trucks. It used to be 250 to fill up. Now it's over 500. Tracy

    Skeptical about what Abs Diet is telling me...

    Hi, I know that when I drop my calories that low I have no energy to workout. For me it is more about the composition of what I eat and not the total number of calories; they are not all equal for me. There was an interesting article in Oxegen this month that talked about taking in too few...

    Anyone Else Having Great Results with P90X Plus??

    Hi, I've been using X+ (@week 6), but subbing running, Cathe legs work, and my own yoga. I definitely can do more pull/chin ups than before plus my core looks great! I was able to use about 7% more weight for B&B and CST, than I could when I finished p90X last winter. The beauty for me is...

    Looking for a tough leg workout

    Hi, For a change I second L&G. I just did it yesterday after not doing it for a long time and went fairly heavy. I did slow down the step ups. It was a nice change and hit the muscles just a little differently. What about 4ds? It has different exercises and is very effective. Tracy

    All carbs are not created equal!

    Hi all, I agree that all calories are not created equal. For years, I was a low fat / high carb eater and realized that although I controlled my weight, my body composition was not what I wanted. Once I switched to low fat / higher protein, I've seen great changes in my body composition...

    The Bachelorette Finale - Play by Play

    Hi all, Sorry I missed the original poster who was on line last night while watching. I was watching by myself and would have loved some company. All I got was teasing from my son. Wasn't the show great mindless entertainment last night? The fairy tale ending with the guy no one would...

    **** Watercoolers Monday ****

    Hi all, I'm working part time this summer and it is really slow. I thought I'd stop by:) Kim and Laurie- Do you like X+? I'm on week 6 and have decided I'll probably go through the next phase then start something else. I do like it, but we are planning to go on vacation at about week 10...

    Opinions please.....

    Hi, Are you using a pull up bar or bands? I've had great results with p90X, but always used a pull up bar. For me, using the bar and forcing myself to hoist my body weight really took my upper body to the next level. I've done my own cardio too. I hate to leave things before I'm finished, but...

    +++Watercoolers, Winning Wednesday++++

    Hi all, Maybe if we can get Traci to pop in we can have a cyber reunion! I've been watching Sandra's post on the STS discussion. Does it look like Cathe is not going to produce any more weight workouts after STS? Debra - Sorry XDH is being ugly. I guess some things never change...

    The Bachelorette: The Final Two "J's"

    RE: The Bachelorette: The Final Two OK, I've been watching the show too! I feel so sorry for which ever of the last 2 doesn't get chosen.... I thought the final episode doesn't air until next Monday. Chris do you know who she is engaged to? I agree, I can't imagine that these guys don't...

    high blood pressure and exercise

    Hi, It doesn't look like you lift weights, but holding your breath while lifting can also cause high blood pressure. I just went to the dr and I've had what I thought was white coat syndrome and my BP was always high 120's / mid 80s (not considered prehypertension, but something to...

    ***Watercoolers, Wingin' It Wednesday*****

    RE: Eoin Report Hi all, I haven't stopped by for a while, but I was glad I did today! Wendy - I got a great chuckle from your armpit story. All that alignment is critical to keeping the injuries at bay; especially if you do yoga regularly. I'm sure my form isn't perfect, and I do enjoy...

    Opinions on next circuit workout to purchase

    Hi, I love them all for different reasons, but I'm voting for the Terminator because you get The Gauntlet (which is one of my favorites), plus The Viper, plus that long cardio workout that combines IMAX2 and C&W. I think you get the most variety for your money with this one. Tracy

    Just did Slo Mo again- LOVE this workout

    Hi all, I guess I am in the minority, but I do not like anything on Slo Mo except the core work. I like Amy's cardio, but I'm not sold on any of her weight work. Tracy
