Kathryn... AMEN, AMEN, AMEN !! I couldnt have said it better myself. I would only add that I have talked to many people who really havent even read the whole diet, just picked up bits and pieces of information about it, "because a friend is doing it" and using that limited knowledge to base...

I got mine on ebay in Feb. from FogDog sports, and although its not as pretty as some, it does have all the diff stations that the others have, and the best part was they had it on "buy now" for 49.99, and then the shipping was half off!! I got the whole thing, tax, title and license for 60...

Lynne, Another option might be to provide daycare in your home. When my first two boys were little, I did just that. I had a maximum of 4 kids, and was lucky enough that they were close in age to my kids, so they always had a playmate. I do have to say, its hard work. I had alot of fun...

There has been a very interesting discussion on another forum that is about heart monitor training, so I decided to dust mine off, and find out my Max HR. So this am, I did a series of hill repeats wearing the monitor and came up with a figure of 212 beats ---does that seem realitstic? I...

I took a Pilates class with friends for about 6 months, and I liked how I felt after the class, but the class itself was pure torture!! I would rather watch paint dry than do that anymore--so I guess you're not alone, I want more intesity than that. Jayne

I agree with previous suggestions, and just wanted to add a little note on something I found working really well for myself, I alternate leg workouts between standing and floor work. I either do standing one day, and then floor work later in the week, or if its been a really tough running week...

I always do ab work first anymore. I didnt always--it wasnt until PUB that I figured out that there was no way I could do that ab work after everything else! I like doing abs first now, I really can concentrate and work the muscles much more effectively, and have noticed a very nice...

Congrats Kathy Once you get this DVD in you will be even happier about your purchase--this is such an awesome dvd. You will not regret spending the money on this one! I got to order the KPC/LG dvd on saturday, and like you, Im very excited. Have a great day Jayne

Hi Mari, Today is my 40th bday(yeah!), and I did bootcamp, then tacked on some more leg and ab work. It was so great because I was thinking the whole time there is no way at age 37 that I could have done this workout, much less add on to it! Lets here it for the aging thing, and having...

Im not sure if its soooper healthy, but here is my latest favorite.. banana nut bread or muffin (could be flavor of your choice) yogurt on top with frozen berries, topped with granola--yum yum I can run for hours on this!! Jayne

A little off topic here, but I hope your son gets better very soon Lisa--its so hard on everyone Im sure. My thoughts are with you and your family. Have a good weekend Jayne

RE: AKirkland.. Im sooo glad Im not alone!! A couple of things that I have found to help...I take papaya enzymes, and they work pretty good for the bloating, and excellent if you get heartburn. I also had to stop my protein shakes, now I just mix whey protein with some kind of juice, yogurt...

This is such a great thread!! I have just been kinda thinking the same thing--really wondering if adding some regular gym workouts to my schedule would make a big diff. Special thanks to A-Jock for sharing your upper body work with us. I have just completed my first half marathon,and...

Hi Leslie, I LOOOVE yogurt, and it just so happens that I really enjoy the Dannon light and fit. We eat about 10 - 12 containers a week around here (my kids love it too). I used to buy the store brand but discovered how much better the Dannon is...I do tend to wait for a sale on it to stock...
