I've suffered migraines for over 20 years. About 8 years ago, my doctor put me on amitriptylene 25 mg daily for migraine prophylaxis. Amitriptylene is actually an antidepressant, but it's worked wonders preventing my headaches. I still get them on occasion when I'm under a lot of stress, but...

>Uh... I don't think "brain tumors" are a "known reaction" to >aspartame. Perhaps there is a possible correlation but to my >knowledge nothing definitive. Actually, brain tumors are a known reaction to aspartame in animal studies and, according to non-industry-related research, a...

Hi FitNut! Yes, I own a pair of Freddys but I haven't seen them in probably 6 months since they live in the back of my closet. I thought they were pretty cool looking, too, so I spent the $80 and ended up with yet another pair of shoes I never wear. I did wear them for awhile at first but...

Thanks so much, Annette! I'll check both of these out immediately-- sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. Elizabeth

Hi Cathe! I'm on the search for a credible fitness magazine(s) or web site(s) that gives current info on all or many fitness genres as well as nutrition. So many of both seem to be dedicated to pushing products rather than to honest education. I thought you (and anyone else who may wish to...

Hi Lisa and welcome! I started out with The Firm a couple years ago and was happy to have the introduction to cardio and weight training, but Cathe is where it's at! I have all her videos except a few of the original ones and I can honestly say that you will become addicted! You'll see...

Hi everyone! After reading many of the replies to Nancy324's post about her visit to the nutrition counselor, (more power to ya, Nancy, and a happy belated B-day!) I noticed that many of you use products containing aspartame, primarily diet sodas. I don't know if anyone is aware of the huge...

Hi Beth! I have a pair of Ryka Alchemy 3s that I purchased on Ebay. I normally wear a 5.5 but bought a size 6 which fits very well with regular or thicker socks. I think these are the most wonderful shoes! They take a short time to break in as far as doing step aerobics, but will ultimately...

Hi all! I also take EAS's CLA in conjuction with their new Thermo Dynamx. I've been taking both for about a month now one to two times a day and I have seen a decrease in body fat but I can't be 100% sure that these supplements are the reason for that. I'd much rather give Cathe the credit...

Yep, lower body sucks and those push-ups run a close second. Love to work biceps, though. There's just something about actually seeing those muscles pump up during curls. Apparently, we're not alone when it comes to dreading lower body work--"Muscle and Fitness Hers" interviewed many of the...

I also wear Rykas--Alchemy 111 cross trainers to be exact. I found that just 1/2 size larger fit well. One full size up would have been too large. Check out Ebay for some great deals on new Rykas!

These may be a little high in calories and fat but the new Detour bars have to be the best tasting on the market. A good description I've heard is "snickers on steroids." They contain 290 calories, 9 grams of fat, 21 grams of carb and a whopping 32 grams of protein. You absolutely must try...

Hi! I've fallen in love with EAS' Myoplex Ready-to-Drink shakes in chocolate fudge. They come in regular and low-carb. There are also two sizes depending on your desired protein intake and price range. The smaller size comes in 4-packs and contains 20 grams of protein and the larger ones have...
