I just had my body fat tested at the gym and the personal trainer used only three readings with the caliper. One from the back of my arm (tricep area), one from my waist(just above my hip) and the other from my front thigh. She said that I had 15.9% body fat down from 17% three months ago...

Please don't get discouraged. I HATE scales but I must admit that I can't walk past one without getting on. Its enough to drive a gal crazy! Everyone's weight flucuates. Don't let a number on the scale get you down. Think about all that you have accomplished. Consider this, what if you did...

Here is my check-in for the week. I'm starting to get anxious because Friday I'm going to have my varicose veins removed and I will only be able to work my upper body and walk--no pounding or weight work for lower for 2 weeks. Yikes!! How will I cope with the holidays fast approaching? But I...

Kelly -- Walking can be a great workout. At an 11 minute mile pace you are really moving. I love walking this time of year because you get to see all the pretty decorations going up all over the neighborhood it keeps it interesting. This is my first check-in. Some of you may be familiar with...

I would be happy to share. After experimenting for many years this is what I find works best for me. I need lots of variety or else I get bored. I work out at home as well as at a gym. Here are the last two weeks of workouts taken from my journal. In case your not familiar with it the 20...

Thanks Murph. I appreciate the answer.

I'm new to this and I was wondering if I did this right. Earlier I posted regarding High School Reunion and some of you nice gals had some questions regarding clean eating. So I went back into the original post and posted an answer. Was this the correct way to do this? Is there a better way...

My eating plan is similar to what is suggested in Body for Life and in many of the magazines that are geared to weight lifters. I have experimented with lots of different eating plans--lowfat, no fat, low carb etc. and I found that what works for me is a combination of eating a carb with a...

Hope you all don't mind a little bragging but I attended my 20th high school reunion this past weekend and boy was I surprised by my fellow classmates reaction to me. I wore a size six pant suit with a sleeveless top. I wore a size 12 twenty years ago in high school. The compliments continued...

I too only wear full length clothes when I run outdoors because I get way to hot inside. I thought I was the only nut working out in my sports bra and undies but seeing that Marnie fessed up I too admit that's all I wear. I figure why get my shorts all sweaty when I know that they will be...

I have been having trouble opening up certain threads too. And some eventually open but are taking a very long time.

Has anyone tried the Power 90 system. I just saw the infomercial and went on to the web site. I was interested in buying it but I am reluctant until I hear what others have to say about it. I love Cathe videos and have been doing them for many years so I need something that is advanced. By...
