Does anyone have any experience with adults taking adderall for ADHD? My sister-in-law began taking adderall in late September. Since then, she's lost about 40 pounds, going from a size 12 to a 6. I'm very concerned about her, because her weight loss isn't through healthy eating and exercise...

Here's a question for wives and husbands of those serving in the military on active duty. My 19 year old neice married her high school sweetheart on Christmas Eve. (My entire family tried to tell her she was too young, but the marriage took place anyway, so that's a moot point.) Anyway, her...

My husband and I were watching the movie White Chicks last night when my five year old son was "supposed" to be in bed. He ended up walking in right when one of the characters said the "n" word. Luke piped right up and said, "Mama, what's a n*gger?" This was his first encounter with the word...

I have tried and tried to apply "Sugar Busters" to my home, not only for me, but for my kids as well. (Forget the DH ~ he's impossible!) Anyway, my kids love fruit, but there comes a time when they just want plain ole dessert. Our local news has a segment of "Simple Solutions" with Jill...

. . . Loretta Lynn when she first left Butcher Holler! My husband surprised me this weekend with reservations for Cathe's Road Trip! The farthest north I've been is Pittsburgh to a Steeler's game! Can't wait to see you all! Sarah

I'm on my planning period ~ have just begun S.E. Hinton's book The Outsiders with my English 9 class, and NOT ONE 15 year old knows ANY of the actors in The Outsiders movie, with the exception of Tom Cruise!!! What's wrong with today's youth!!!! I expected them not to know C. Thomas Howell...

Does anyone have any suggestions for rough, cracked heels? I've tried pumicing, applying all kinds of "foot" creams, and wearing socks to bed. Unfortunately, nothing has worked. My heels are absolutely awful!! Does anyone have any secret remedies? Thanks, Sarah

For all you VERY busy ladies out there who sometimes need to eat breakfast in the car, what do you eat? I was reading the latest Oxygen the other day and saw that one of the fitness models eats "oatmeal pancakes." I tried my own version of them: 4 egg whites, 1/2 cup of old fashioned...

Reduced Fat Natural Peanut Butter! I remembered reading Wendy saying something about it last week and we all wondered if there was such a thing. I was in a tiny grocery store in our small town today and there it was on the shelf. I'll post the label here. It's by smucker's and they may be...

My nine year old daughter's good friend lost her mother to cancer yesterday. A former music teacher, this dear lady has been fighting brain cancer for the past 5 years. She has two children, ages 9 and 11 and was only 41. After many tears yesterday, I got to thinking about all the time we...

Well, spin classes have finally arrived in the boonies! Our local YMCA has just started a new spin class, and I took it last night. I am ashamed to admit that it absolutely kicked my butt! My husband and I bought a LifeCycle (used from a gym going out of business) about 6 years ago, and even...

I have learned sooo much on this forum regarding how to live a healthier lifestyle. Now that spring is right around the corner, let's be brutally honest -- who's gonna visit the tanning beds? I'm ashamed to say that I am!

For all of you who eat clean ~ does the regular name-brand peanut butter (Jif, Skippy, etc.) really have an overabundance of sugar? I've read several posts about "natural" peanut butter, but our local grocery store (that includes our Wal Mart too) doesn't sell it. Is this worth tracking down...

I was wondering if most of you all have one of these two brands of heart rate monitors? Also, is there a function on it that you really like and couldn't live without? There are so many available, I could use some of your input as to what you really like about yours. Thanks!

Do any of you wear heart rate monitors while doing your workouts? If so, what kind do you have? I was thinking about "training smarter" and buying one to make sure that I'm in my target area, but there are so many out on the market, I don't know where to begin! Thanks!

Besides your basic multivitamin, what (if any) supplements do you all use? I have a friend who is using Ripped Fuel twice a day, totalling 4 pills in all. I told her that I'm sure this isn't good for her, but she says that they are safe now that ephedra has been banned. Anyone got any...

I was wondering if anyone knew of any quality workout videos for older individuals. My parents are in their mid 60's and desperately need to exercise. They walk around their local high school's track, but with cold weather here, that's not an option now, and their treadmill "died" recently. I...

Does anyone have any opinions regarding diet sodas and weight loss? My husband and I seem to be addicted to Diet Pepsi, and while I know that they are bad for us, I just can't seem to get myself to stop drinking them. Does anyone have any info or advice?

Hi, everyone ~ I've been reading your posts for quite awhile, and I have a question for you. I have all of Cathe's videos and am in the process of selling those to purchase the dvd's. I have read many rotations and other posts about lots of workouts, but I rarely see anything about the...
