No, this series is not for me - too serious, too technical, too long. I like a variety of instructors and a variety of workouts.

I do cry (also scream and curse at the instructor and grit my teeth) when I'm trying to do a new step workout and the steps are complex and/or the cueing is not good. I appreciate what some others have said about that whole perfection thing being counter-productive, and I'm trying now to...

Yoga Beauty Body is my favorite, I bought it, did it one night, and immediately ordered 3 more of their dvds, now I have almost the whole collection. I guess I wouldn't say Yoga Beauty Body is focused on relaxation, but it's an extremely good introduction to the whole kundalini concept, there...

"I remember a little while back, LauraMax posted that she burned only 5 fewer calories doing Low Max with 2 risers instead of four." Allison, this is amazing to me. I totally believe you, but it's really opened my eyes, because when I use 4 risers in any of the IMAXs I'm huffing and puffing...

I'm not an expert, but I've heard that the weight gain when you start to exercise can be caused by water retention. If you're doing a lot of cardio, your body realizes that, Hey, we might be going to sweat a lot for an hour or so at a time, we'd better hang on to a couple extra pints of water...

>>Does anyone know why the weight goes on and why it comes off >afterwards? My doctor says that fat tissue helps to produce estrogen, and at a time when your pituitary gland is instructing your body to produce LESS estrogen, and your hormones are erratic, the rest of your body fights back...

For those of you who eat frozen fish, do you always thaw it? It takes forever to thaw in the refrigerator, can you just cook it frozen? Do you thaw in microwave? I love the idea of buying frozen fish, I've heard it's healthier and often fresher than "fresh fish" because they just freeze on...

RE: It does seem ridiculous, but if your DH has also read the book, he's probably listening to what you have to say, cuddling you, etc., about 10 times more than he thinks he should! That's one of the great things about the book, he explains to guys, Yes it's REALLY REALLY important that you...

RE: We're all busy thinking about pumpkin pie :~) Yes I have read his books and think he's WONDERFUL. It was the first time that I realized that men and women really do see the world differently, and it has helped me a lot in my marriage and in my relationships with guys at work, etc. DH...

Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake. It was on a bunch of best-book-of-the-year lists last year, and now it's a movie which is supposed to be very good. Anyhow, really wonderful and interesting writing about a first-generation Indian boy whose parents move from India to Massachusetts in the 1960s -...

This has GOT to be a joke.

I'm on the opposite side of those who love Thanksgiving at home or at relatives. DH and I don't have relatives in the area, and we usually try a new restaurant every holiday - this year we are going to a restaurant in L.A. that we've always wanted to try - their Thanksgiving menu looks amazing...

OH I hate to be such a wet blanket, but I think lists like this are NOT amusing and are rude and hurtful. Would it be a good thing if we started some threads titled: "JEWS!!!!! 1. Jews are skinflints, 2. Jews are (etc.)," or maybe, "MEXICANS!!!!!" You get the idea... I'm usually...

RE: "A free market economy dictates that business owners do NOT HAVE to carry anything that they aren't required to carry. I just don't see why that is a big deal. Don't you think a business owner should get to decide what they want to sell?" Actually, pippa, I guess I agree with this...

RE: "Gee, I don't have a problem with it at all. There's no shortage of pharmacies, so if you can't get it at one, just go to another -- seems simple enough to me." Actually, in small towns there might be a shortage of pharmacies - there are probably quite a few small towns in the U.S., in...

RE: I completely agree with you, tneah. Not to give a woman this completely legal medication, based on the pharmacist's own religious or moral qualms, is unethical and those pharmacists should lose their jobs.

Nancy, I've read about your Super Size Salads before. What veggies do you use? Do you make the salad yourself or buy it, do you use packaged pre-washed greens? Do you make a new salad every night or just make a big batch every few days? I'm trying to get inspired to eat more veggies, and I...
