When I first bought pea protein powder, I mistook "unflavored" to mean that it was tasteless. Boy, was I surprised! I tried hiding the yuckiness in smoothies with coconut milk & various fruits, to no avail. Then I realized that was like pouring water on a grease fire. These days, I enjoy my...

I vote no, in agreement with a previous post. Cathe is the professional, and I get great results following her regiments. She works hard on her product, and far be it from lil ol' me to tinker with it. :-) May I also add that I CAN'T WAIT!!

If Lori's advice doesn't help, I'd recommend playing Let's Make a Deal. }(

I thank you all again for taking the time to read this article. My husband and I would love to do away with the challenges that autism has presented our son. But if doing so would mean that he would lose the gifts that it has given him, and the innocence and purity of heart that I believe...

RE: The I call it "the afterglow".

I would like to present an article (albeit 3-years-old) that I stumbled across today and found most refreshing. I don't agree with 100% of the views expressed within it, but it comes from a source that isn't getting enough media coverage these days. We're all hearing plenty about autism, and...

><---will admit though that if Gerard Butler, Christian Bale, >and Hugh Jackman ever starred in a pirate movie together, <--- >would be in heaven <---doesn't know about ^^that^^ but if a Gerard Butler, Christian Bale, and Matthew McConaughey flick would tickle your fancy you could check...

I'm far from an expert, so take this with a grain of salt. :-) I am trying, like you, for muscle gains, and have stepped (pun intended) back on my cardio so that all the calories that I consume are feeding my muscles. It seems to be working. I do upper body training one day, then cardio...

I have noticed that as, over the years, I warm up more quickly and sweat much more. If I took an aerobics - or even a weights, for that matter! - class today, the instructors would probably watch me and expect me to keel over any moment from a heart attack or heat stroke. But I'm in the best...

I *try* to "watch it all the way through once before attempting it" but usually end up attempting a little while watching. :D Willpower has never been my strongsuit.

My first strange crush was Jeremy the rat, from The Secret of Nimh. I can't explain it ... so I won't even try. But like Allison said, there will always be a special place in my heart for that vested, carpet-ridin' dollface Aladdin.

My brand new microwave has a metal rack in it. I was shocked! But it hasn't exploded yet... I'm sure that a couple of staples would be safe. Maybe we should put this test to the Mythbusters. ;)

I think you already have the motivation, or you wouldn't be here. :-) I'm sorry to hear about all that you've been through. I can't imagine... As for keeping up the consistency: the only thing I can say is that that will come with results. When I started working out, I had to force...
