    Margarine vs butter

    My husband and I have this debate all the time! I'm the one using margarine - but I use Becel (I think its a Canadian brand) which has zero trans fats and is low fat and low cal. I can't tell the difference. I figure without the fat or trans fat - its gotta be better. I don't use very much...

    gym or workout videos?

    As much as I hate to admit it - but I've finally joined a gym! Trevor is right - the weight workouts at gyms are just better! I love working out in the privacy of my own home, plus at home, I can workout whenever I want - don't have to worry about getting into the car, driving through snow...

    Leaner Legs

    It kills me every time. Whenever it comes up in my rotation or PLB - I groan even before turning on the TV! IMO - it's a toss up between Leaner Legs & PLB for toughness. I did plb today and was swearing a blue streak! The two are tough, tough workouts.

    Breast Augmentation

    I know what you mean about having babies and then having sagging breasts! I don't care what the women's magazines say - having babies and breastfeeding will forever change your breasts! I have read time and time again that breasts don't change after pregnancy - BS!!! they do - they never...

    Heavy Lifting

    Now I've got other questions... What does the hack squat machine look like? I know what hack squats are but I can't picture the machine? I weigh 110 (small yes, but there's a nice layer of fat there too) - what would be heavy for me? I currently can go up to 40 or 45 with the barbell but...

    Heavy Lifting

    wow - do I feel like a weenie! Now I truly understand what heavy is and why I'm not seeing results in my legs! I haven't even tried to go that heavy! Curious though - those of you who are squatting over 100lbs - how do you do that in your home? do you have a spotter?

    Definition of insanity???

    Wow - good suggestions - thanks to both of you. You see - that's the first post that indicated what 'heavy' means. I can't lift that heavy at home, of course - not my body weight. I guess a gym is a must to supplement my cathe workouts. OK - Hard interval training? Good point Trevor - I...

    Definition of insanity???

    I once read that the definition of insantiy is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. I think I know how that feels. Excuse me for complaining but I'm am, as usual, immensely frustrated with the lack of results on my legs. A little background: I've been...

    Relationships ending, blame and why is it always "me"

    RE: Relationships ending, blame and why is it always Wayne - get this guy out of your life! It is so hard and painful now - but somehow you need to forget him. Don't go to bars or hangouts where he may be. Go to new bars/restaurants in a different area of town. Join a new club - get new...
