    how often do you change up your workout?

    You may not be doing anything wrong. It's possible that you may need more time to see visible changes. Also please keep in mind that some very good changes may not be so obvious (strengthening smaller, supporting muscles and keeping joints healthy and mobile). I change things up every 4 to 6...

    I need some morning news show recs

    I wasn't sure if I would like it at first, yet I ended up enjoying it very much. :D It's definitely worth watching more than once. I also walked away from it thinking, "Okay. So I'm NOT weird for being an Agnostic. Cool."

    WEIGHT GAIN?

    *nods* I agree ~ it's not easy. I just started adding cardio on weight days, and I'm not super thrilled about the additional time commitment. I'm forcing myself to experiment with it for a while, but so far I don't see myself doing this permanently. However, I have found that I can take a...

    Congratulations Liann

    You're going to love having a daughter. :) Mine are 15 and 11 now, and they bake and shop with me. It's a lot of fun.

    I need some morning news show recs

    Hi Laura! :) I have no recommendations for you ~ I gave up on TV news a long time ago ~ but I wanted to say "hi" and let you know I thought of you while watching Maher's movie, "Religulous."

    Gym Styles

    Another vote for GS! :eek: I'm doing a GS rotation right now actually and love it. The rep counts are really challenging.

    WEIGHT GAIN?

    I don't know if this will help any but... I always ~ like clockwork ~ gain at least 3 lbs. when I first start heavy weight training after some time off. I've noticed that the numbers drift up when I have serious DOMS too, whether it's a new program or not. When the DOMS is gone, the numbers...

    Congratulations Liann

    Boy, you can tell I have been away for a long time. When I left the forums, I don't think Liann was even pregnant! Congratulations, Liann! :) She is beautiful! <3

    Food, Inc.! I'm never eating meat again!!

    Here's a link to a Veg cookbook thread: Veg Cookbooks Earthlings is another very tough movie to watch (it's nickname is "The Vegan Maker"). I think if one is already aware of animal suffering, there really is no point in seeing the film unless you want to torture yourself. However, if you...

    workout cards for other workouts?

    I would love to see that in the Workout Manager, but as for now, I make my own.

    Two a day rotation?

    I think this would work just fine. In fact, I'd probably do the same thing.

    Gym style arms or sts?

    I think GS is worth having. The moves are classic, but the rep counts are intense, making the exercises anything but typical.

    I.am.so.hungry!!!!

    Well, if you don't want to cut out snacks, then your actual meals have to be downsized. That can be a pain in the butt, but it's doable. I have found that it's hardest at dinnertime when the rest of the family has about 500 calories of food on their plate, and I have only about 300 to go for...

    Gym style arms or sts?

    I have both and am currently doing a Gym Styles rotation. It has been awhile since I've done GS, and boy it is tougher than I remember (the rep counts are slow)! I must be getting good at selecting the correct poundage to use because my arms are tired all day long. I'm talking...I still feel...

    Which Meso to start with??

    Meso 1 is pretty challenging provided you select the correct weight (plus those push ups, chin ups, and pull ups are super tough). I don't think you'd be wasting your time. I also read somewhere ~ perhaps it was one of Cathe's posts ~ that muscle endurance workouts not only prepare your...

    I'm glad you guys brought up food labels. This is a good thing to think about.

    Two a day rotation?

    I just started doing two workouts a day this week. I'm on day 5, and I'm pretty tired at times during the day, but that's to be expected. It'll be interesting to see how long before I adjust to the increased workload. I've noticed that I'm not sleeping as well, and I suspect the cardio...
