Hi! You don't say how old you are (I suspect you are young 20's), but I had a similar experience with my sister. In her teens and early twenties she was very slim. She was a size 0 before they had size 0. She bought jeans in the little girls department because they were small enough. I, on...

My favorites: Very young children: Goodnight Moon Young children: Where the Wild Things Are Children's: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (actually the whole series is wonderful), Harry Potter (I'm reading this series with my 7 year old boy and while I've enjoyed them, each book is...

I also have used the Crest strips. These have worked very well for me. I get lots of compliments on my white teeth. The first time I used them I did 2 boxes back to back. Now I do 1 box every 6 months. I think they are particularily helpful if your teeth are dingy from coffee and wine. Not...

Hi! I regularly jump 3 x per week, at least. Michael Olijade's tapes are great for teaching different steps which you can use on your own to your own music. I started by doing 1 minute jumping than 1 minute toe taps and built from there. Now I do 30-45 minutes straight. Learn how to do the...

Hi, Kat: I've been following your progress with great interest and am hoping for an update. Did you make it the full 2 weeks? Have you kept your awesome results? Your story is very motivating, so I'm hoping to hear more. Thanks!

RE: I find the Adding to the creepy commercials, what is up with the Skittles commercial and the 2 guys dressed like sheep? Beyond weird. And I used to like their "taste the rainbow" arty ones.

Power 90 is an intermediate work out system while P90X is advanced, especially if you try to do all the push ups and pull ups. Starting with P90X is doable for an intermediate (use lighter weights and do what you can, modifiers are also shown for some exercises) but, if you think you need to...

Hi, How do you use the oil on your hair? I've heard about it helping hair look shiny for a while, but no details on how it should be used. Thanks!

Are you kidding?!? You truthfully fess up and you wonder if you are a bad mother? You'd get an award at my house!

Mariela: I have medium and medium beige. The medium beige is definately a yellow undertone. The medium isn't quite pink, but it definately not as yellow. I also have warmth which would probably work for anyone. It is reddish and used to add color to your face. I also agree that just a...

That's great if you can afford to pay a little more. Some of us cannot.

Andrea, supposedly creatine may help, but I have read a lot of contradictory stuff on it. Namely, that it doesn't have much effect on women. Not many articles will own up to that, but if you search long enough you'll find it. Also, I've read that creatine makes you retain water. Not something...

Katerchan: I don't know if you have kids, but to call our culture officially "prude" is quite shocking to me. There is very little that I would consider "prude" and actually a better word would be "modest." Sorry, but I have to constantly censor the antics of Lindsay Lohan, Britney...

I find P90X to be very tough. If it is not hard for you, you are not doing maximum reps on the push ups and pull ups and heavy enough weights with the other work. If you are doing the tubing as a substitute, I urge you to get whatever you can to try and do pullups and always aim for maximum...

Okay, I probably could find something more constructive to do with my time, but here's my take: Dreya and Tony know each other very well, she was in the Power 1/2 Hours, so he probably knows her better and longer than the others. Also, she is married to one of the CEO's of BeachBody, and it...

Has anyone tried kettlebells? Any results? What size kettlebell did you use? Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!

I don't know how heavy you lift but here are the things that really changed my body: Adding intensity to my cardio with the help of a heart rate monitor. Adding intense cardio interval work. Really trying to go heavy with the weights. Also, whether you lift heavy or not, to me the key...

Do as many as you can unassisted. After that get a chair and put one leg on the back of it to support some of your body weight and continue doing the pull ups. The closer the chair is to you the easier it is. This is if you are using a pull up bar.

Lynn: Would you say the laser or the injections are better? I did the injections a year ago with good success, but need to do it again (it was just one treatment and I should have done more at the time). I want to do it again, but don't know if I should look into laser instead. Thanks!
