Hi Janis, Thank you for spurring me on... I have been researching which programs to do, and posted a little prematurely before I had made any decisions. What do you think about BFFM? I actually have the e-book, read it, and after doing the eating program for 4 weeks, didn't lose any weight...

Hello Everyone, I am a lurker who decided to surface tonight! I work in an Endocrinology Clinic, and our department decided to have a 12 week body fat loss contest with everyone in the clinic having their body fat measured on the bone density machine. I am going to start STS (weight lifting)...

I also struggle with stopping splenda/artificial sweeteners. I read a study that proved in rats that the same receptor on your tongue that senses "sweet" called the "gustducin" receptor, is also in your intestine, and induces a release of a class of peptides called incretins (specifically...

I am going to sound like a foolio, but how do podcasts work? Do you just plug your ipod into your computer every day and it downloads?

How exciting, are you renewing your vows?

Too much cortisol does cause belly fat- your doctor can check you for Cushing's syndrome, with a 24 hour urine cortisol test. Just a thought.

IMO, it's not realistic to stay home with colds, but it is realistic to wash your hands frequently, take decongestants so your nose doesn't drip everywhere, and wear a mask if you are sneezing and coughing and around other people. That's what I do.

I am in the military and take care of basic trainees routinely, and basic training is absolutely brutal. When he finishes, it might be the most difficult thing he has ever accomplished in his life, and he will be so proud to have you there to witness it. I would absolutely go. He used to be...

Debbie, Thanks for the reply. I shall proceed with STS! Have a great day, Lisa

Hi Debbie, I am a lurker on these posts, and if I may be so bold, would really appreciate your opinion. I did your January rotation and absolutely loved it:D. I just purchased STS and am really excited to do it, but I would like to lose 25 lbs too. Would you suggest any modifications to STS...

Dang. I love this thread. I will think really hard for a secret to post...

Harry Potter What a great thread! DS9 and DD6 and I started at the beginning of the series at the end of September, and are now on the fifth book. I am going to be sad when we finish the series. I was worried it would be too intense for my six year old, but she falls asleep in about twelve...

Hello, Just thought I'd add my two cents. You sound really upset in your post. It sounds like money is not the real issue, but the fact that your feelings are deeply hurt because you feel like he's not listening to you/being respectful to you and you feel like things are getting out of...

Hi Em, Just wanted to add to the refrain echoed by everyone else. I know how you feel. To accomplish the kind of change we want, it's going to take a warrior spirit! Never never give up. That's what the rest of us are here for, Lisa

DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone is interested in selling their calendar, I am interested in buying it- please let me know. I've never had a Cathe calendar, so I have nothing with which to compare it, but I am sad I missed the 11/7 deadline. Have a good holiday, Lisa

Hello All! I'm back from DC, and don't seem to have gained any weight, but have not exercised since 11/17. Scary. I want to jump into a rotation, but haven't picked one yet, and then it will be December, and I'll want to do the December one. How can you guys stand to read such whining?!?! I...

Hello T-dayers, Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but I read every day, and have been following along. I did my fit test today, Thank The Lord! It's over, I got an 86, not as bad as I thought, and don't have to do it until next year. I ran the 1.5 mile in 14 min 30 sec, a full minute...
