    Mirena IUD & Migraines?

    I have the non-hormonal (paraguard I believe) and I LOVE it. No side effects for me and a nice bonus is that it is a 10 year instead of a 5 year. (I know I am done with kids though) My body cannot handle the synthetic hormones-I once tried the three month shot and it was a DISASTER so I did not...

    Club Step

    Ahhhhh!!!!! My wish list is getting huge too!!!! I have also been eyeing the high step because right now I am trying to make my firm two piece (blue/purple fanny lifter) step work for now, but I'm losing the battle. Somehow in the last couple of weeks I have gotten back into working out BIG TIME...

    For those using green drinks/powdered veggies/fruits, which brand would you reco

    Yeah...we both do. I realize that some of that could be the placebo effect, but since my husband started the routine of having one scoop of greens and one scoop of reds daily- he rarely gets sick! He used to catch everything that came down the pike because he is not a big fruit or veggie...

    For those using green drinks/powdered veggies/fruits, which brand would you reco

    Oh yeah....I also feel better when I am on these health boosters! I don't use them to replace fruits and veggies so much, just fill in some nutrition gaps. They all have good profiles.

    My husband who is very picky does pretty good with delicous greens (berry flavor) and delicious reds (fruit punch flavor). I like them too. My kids looooooove something called x balance (it is chocolatey and healthy). All can be found at amazon. Hope this helps!

    More Low Impact please!!

    This is my wish too! I modify quite a bit because of my knees, and I feel I do a pretty good job keeping up with the intensity, but some moves I am at a loss for a good modification! I was just thinking today that it would be nice to see just one person performing a lower impact version during...

    shoes for stepping

    I use cross training shoes for stepping. I would go to a big sports store like dicks or sports authority, they usually have many brands and styles separtated out by type- walkers runners etc... Go try on different brands and compare comfort. I like cross trainers because I feel like they have...

    tutorial videos

    Try turnstep.com or stepcenter.com for some animated step move tutorials. Not all steps are on it, (and some of stepcenter is not free) but they helped me with some steps in the beginning!

    Who wants a free brand NEW Low Max DVD???

    Hi all! I'm a lurker here, and I do enjoy these boards- just don't have the time to add much to the conversations going on :) I have just finally ordered the full size step after tripping over the annoying smaller one for the last nine years (yaaaaay!) I decided to treat myself to the one...

    has anyone had adrenal exhaustion/failure?

    Kathryn: Awesome...I have maca in my fridge! Need to start using it again. I actually got it because I heard it was helpful to balance hormones and forgot I had it. (duh) cbillekop: I have not tried spelt flour... Is it similar in taste/texture? Do you use it in a 1:1 substitution? I know my...

    has anyone had adrenal exhaustion/failure?

    Ugh me too...... I have been having obvious hormone problems (due to severe PMS), and my chiroprator told me it probably originated from the adrenals suffering as I have had bad stress for a while. The only thing that helps me is a whole foods only diet. Unfortunately I also have a difficult...

    Drinking Alcohol & Weight Loss

    gotta chime in here I have the same issue with alcohol. I too like an occasional glass of wine or a light beer at the end of the work day. It totally screws up my weight loss even if I leave room for the calories! (and yes, I track EVERY single one when I am in weight loss mode, and I...

    Cathe and Wii!

    I know someone else posted this idea, but I would like to put that out there as a suggestion as well. The Wii is just so much fun, and it is a very easy way to get the younger ones involved in exercise! We just got EA Sports Active (mostly for my 11 year old) and I find I am having a great...
