    What to do next

    Building muscle requires consistently lifting in a progressive manner (adding weight and/or reps over time) AND eating to gain muscle. You'll need to find a program - or modify a program - that works with your glutei/hips.

    Have you tried a Life Coach?

    Like Hazlady, I have used all 3 types of "coaching". She has summarized the differences extremely well. Depends on what your goals are. In all cases, try to choose someone whom you can relate to, positively!

    Restarting everything at 51

    Goodness. You are young, lady. If you wanted to do P90X, you can do it. If you want to do Cathe, you can do it. Just pick something up and try! I feel that your mind is getting in the way. Certainly, your age and body will not!

    Thanks! Alas, I have to buy online because I am not close to a Sam's Club. How thick are your mats?

    Puzzle Mat Flooring

    I'm in the market for new puzzle mats to cover tile flooring. I like the look of Great Mats, but they charge quite a lot ($300+) to deliver 200 sq ft of matting (because they use a fork to load/unload). I want something at least 5/8", maybe 1". I'm considering 1" mats offered by IncStores (via...

    Bodybugg

    I have a bodybugg and used it for several months in 07 and early 08. (I have since moved and lost it somewhere!!) It told me consistently that I burn 2400-2800 kcal a day. At the time, I was eating much less than that. I thought it interesting, but it did not help me lose weight, since I wasn't...

    very very tired in 1st trimester

    Thanks for all the feedback. I'm actually glad to know I'm not the only one going through this . I went to a baby shower last week and NOBODY had had morning sickness. It was ridiculous. Do those anti-nausea meds really work? My doc gave me diclectine (sp?) I haven't taken it yet. I...

    very very tired in 1st trimester

    Hi everyone, I am 6 weeks pregnant and have been dealing with morning sickness and fatigue for a bit over a week . On Sunday I vomited 25 times, and it took me a couple days to recover. I've slowly worked my way back to "normal" foods, but can't eat much. While I'm holding food down...

    20/20-"The Cardio-Free Diet"

    RE: 20/20- Hi Carolyn, I got ya, and I know where you're coming from, and I believe that some kind of cardiovascualar activity is good. But I don't think this is the last word on the subject. For instance, I don't think that doing an elliptical workout for 60 minutes a day, or something like...

    20/20-"The Cardio-Free Diet"

    RE: 20/20- Hello. This is an interesting topic, and I do not think it's so clear cut as to say he's wrong. (Caveat: coming from someone who's done intense "Cardio" for the past 25 years - nearly daily). In the past year, I have been doing a LOT of research into what it takes to lose body fat...
