Check out the events of Katrina in a timeline here: http://www.thinkprogress.org/katrina-timeline Please note that I am in no way attacking anyone here, but I'm sure we would all like to know the facts. The events of the timeline are all documented by the links. The governor of...

I was wondering whether the sizes are the same between styles. I got my first pair of Lucky jeans from Costco for $40. I couldn't pass it up! They are the Lowered Peanut style, which is probably discontinued since the Lucky website doesn't sell them. They are probably similar to the Easy Rider...

Just curious if anyone else has experienced this. For the last several months, I've been running 4-5 times per week, up to 30 miles per week, in addition to weights (mostly Bootcamp a few times a week). I rarely took a day off. No surprise, my knees have been bothering me. Also, I craved more...

Don't get me wrong, I know I have cellulite, but I thought it was only on my butt. But I happened to catch a glance in the mirror of the back of my legs and was horrified at what I saw - dimpling and other imperfections, all down the back of my thighs. Apparently, you can only see it in natural...

I consider myself a beginner runner, since I'm only working on endurance right now. But I feel as if I am SOOO slow. I hate when people who don't even run as consistently as I do can run much faster than me without any effort. (I make myself feel better by saying that I can run longer than they...

Hi Dani, Just wanted to check in with you and see how your training is going. I know there's still 6 months until your marathon, but are you following a plan to increase your mileage? I'm doing that now, but I'm a little overwhelmed because I've read that people shouldn't even think of...

I decided to start a new thread with this topic. Carole, how are ultramarathons easier than marathons? I've read up a little on ultras. Maybe speed isn't as important? Sounds like they have feasts at every aid station! Are most ultras run on trails? I have never even done a training run on a...

For all of you runners, what kind of gels do you use on your runs? Which taste the best and aren't that expensive? Also, for water packs that are secured around the waist, are they bulky and annoying to carry on runs? Do they bounce too much? I'm training for a marathon in October, and...

Has anybody ever used these calipers? Are they fairly accurate? I don't have access to a gym where I could get my body fat measured. Elaine

Does anybody know if resting metabolism increases due to muscle GROWTH or muscle DENSITY? Or both? If it is growth, does that mean that if you don't want to increase your muscle size (you'd rather maintain), then you won't be increasing your resting metabolism? And here's another interesting...

Cathe, just wanted to comment about Jai's beautiful legs! They are so defined. Can you give me an idea of the type of workouts she does? Thanks! Elaine

Does anybody else feel this way? I realized that am consumed with thoughts of food and working out constantly. (That's why I'm always checking into this forum!) I skimmed through the new book "French Women Don't Get Fat" and I am so jealous of the laid-back attitude French women have about food...

Does anybody else think that Jai has the best legs? They are so toned and defined! Of course, the rest of her isn't too shabby, either (like her abs), but I would love to have a pair of legs like hers. I wonder what her training routine is like. I read on the main page that she does plymometrics...

My living room is extremely small. Do you need a lot of room even around the step for Imax 3 and Low Max?

Check out this article on skinny celebrities. Somehow I don't believe that any of them are naturally THAT skinny. That takes work (ie. hunger)! http://et.tv.yahoo.com/celebrities/2005/02/16/hollywoodskinnyusweekly/

Hi! I was reading over on the video discussion forum that you don't use a step to do any of Cathe's step workouts. Do you have to do her more intense workouts, then, to get a decent workout? I also don't own a step, or any of her cardio workouts, but I'm tempted to try them because I keep...

Does anybody know how to mix protein powder into oatmeal without making it lumpy? I tried mixing it before cooking the oatmeal, and then I tried mixing it in after, but both times the oatmeal came out lumpy and disgusting. Any ideas? Thanks, Elaine

Hi KathyH! Haven't seen you on the Healthy Eating threads lately. I have a question about your meals. About how many calories do you average daily? And what is the carb/prot/fat breakdown, both on your high carb days and low carb days? I believe you have said before that you follow the eating...
