    Some of the resulting problems are the same, nerve damage in extremities, organ damage, heart problems, can result from either one, but yes, they are very different, and need to be addressed differently. Type 1 is not something the person caused by their lifestyle, type 2 is and therefore is...

    Oh dear, I am sorry you get that. At work we have one woman who is type 1, diagnosed as a child. She has had to have several organ tranplants and it is sad to see her go from a quite active younger woman 25 years ago to really struggling. It is such a hard disease. Another co-worker was...

    World's fattest mom WTH?

    While I agree with this for normal sized people, which include people in double digit clothing, this woman is way, way over normal sized and striving for a weight that makes her an invalid.

    For type 2 diabetes, exercise is crucial to controlling it, as well as diet. In type 2 diabetes, exercise helps the cell receptors and the insulin response, this differs in type 1 diabetes. My dietetics and kiniesology classes had a lot on this.

    World's fattest mom WTH?

    What about the child. There will be no modeling of good healthy eating, so the child will likely have obesity issues as well. This woman is very selfish IMO.

    Stalled Weight Loss After Baby

    For both of my pregnancies it took a full year before I was back down. I started training at around 3 months post with my son(had a c-section) and 2 months with my daughter. It just takes time and your body is still filled with all kinds of hormones and fluids and such. Not to mention the...

    Pre-order excitement (but not Cathe this time) :)

    I could see the use of the Iphone, but this is inbetween that and a netbook, although the fact it is thin, is cool. The cost is more than a netbook, and I find a netbook more useful. I love my touch, and use it a lot, just don't think this would be of interest to me.

    Pre-order excitement (but not Cathe this time) :)

    I honestly did not see the use in this. I have a touch, and a Toshiba netbook, and of course a regular desktop at home. I did not see how this fit any nitch in my life. So for me, I am in line with the people who do not see why this is out there.

    Have you seen the new Newsweek?

    Teaching is very hard these days. My kids school district is a good school district, one of the best, yet there are such discipline issues these days. My DD who is a junior tells stories about how rude the kids are to the teachers on a daily basis. She sees teachers who are burned out and in...

    Since there is so much controversy right now.....

    I am not disagreeing that the French system seems like a good bet. What I am pointing out is that they are having trouble affording it. And this country is already having trouble affording thing. I think something needs to be done, however, I am concerned this bill is being rammed down our...

    Since there is so much controversy right now.....

    The French system has been having money problems longer than the recession. Here is an article about the French system. It is mostly positive, but they do pay 40% if their income for it at this time, and that is not enough to cover the costs...

    Since there is so much controversy right now.....

    About a year ago I saw an interesting piece on the CBS Sunday morning news about France's health care. Patients loved it, doctors loved it. It really, really is a good system for health. However, at the end of the piece the newscast talked about the cost. Apparently the wonderful care could...

    Oscar Dress's

    I liked Queen Latifahs dress, and I cannot find any pictures on-line of it. I thought it looked very pretty and the color was quite flattering. I don't like the real pale dresses on the real pale actresses. Too me it just washes them out.

    So I started STS today. LAWD!!

    I have done STS twice now, and even the second time I was really sore the first week. The legs are at a different place the second two mesocycles. I like to do legs more often, so I actually did legs twice, even in meso one, doing it as the 2cnd and 4th work-out in the week. Stick with it...

    Swim help please

    I find water that is comfortable when you first get in, too warm for swimming. A little chill at first is good, and then after about 300 yards, you feel good if you keep moving. Otherwise I have to slow down a bit or the warmth of the water fatigues me. I like a temp around 80, competition...

    Swim help please

    The USMS website has a lot of good information, so just look at that. What was the water temp? If it was too warm, it can be like running on a 90 degree day. Also, if the pool balance of chemicals was off the second day, there could have been more gasses in the air, and that could have...

    splitting up workouts

    I have been doing double work-outs regularly for oh, 20 years? I don't do short ones, usually an hour a piece, but it is a way to get cardio and weights in on the same day, without killing yourself. I prefer weights in the morning, but cardio not so much, like to be more awake for that, so it...

    Reviews of Circuit Blast and MMA Kickbox?

    Of the three MMA work-outs, MMA Kickbox is probably the easiest one, and fairly simple and also my least favorite. I really like MMA Fusion a lot because it is so unique. For an intermediate person, I think Kickbox would be really good, although you may have to do it a few times because of no...
