WOW.....looks like I'll be looking at New Balance. :laugh: Thanks!!!

My doc has me taking a Vit D/Calcium supplement while I'm on the Prednisone and I also take extra Botin because I have weak nails. What kind of diet overhaul did your friend do?

I have the Polar F6 and I just googled it and saw it priced for just above $100. I love it and had it for years and just now had to send it to have the battery replaced. Chest strap ones are more accurate as it continually monitors your HR as opposed to the watch ones that you have to touch the sensors. One thing to…

First off I applaud you for making it this far with the nursing and please stay with me to the end while I write this. The stage 2 formula could be for supplement.....for instance, you could do one serving of baby food, one serving of stage 2 formula, then nurse the rest of the time. Your child would still be getting the…

I went and looked at that video.....awesome song......have you seen this? http://www.zumba.com/us/shop/action/view/productId_403/ It's supposed to have all of the Zumba music on it. I'm thinking about getting it.

I can't say too much about staying with 1200 cals as I'm having trouble too (I'm having medical issues that aren't helping matters). What I DO know is that the closer you are to your goal the harder it is to take it off. Also, in my opinion, coffee isn't enough for breakfast. If you're "eating on the run" something like a…

I do know that fermenting CAN happen in the stomach IF the food doesn't move like it's supposed to. My sister has been diabetic for 25 years and when she was younger she suffered from Diabetic Gastroperesis. This meant her stomach wasn't digesting the food properly (breakfast eaten at 8/8:30 was still in the stomach not…

That sounds REALLY good!!! Thanks for posting.....

I second this.....I ONLY buy my bras from Bravissimo.....I'm a 30G and actually have one that is a size too big but it still works great!!! The only drawback, for me, to Bravissimo is they are in the UK and you have to pay customs and wait two weeks for orders to arrive......but that is only a small detail and doesn't stop…

I have a Polar F6 HRM and it cost me right around $100 and that was a few years back.......I googled it a few weeks ago and saw it anywhere from $89 to $109 depending on the site. You don't have to go crazy money wise, BUT with HRMs you do get what you pay for. I LOVE my F6, it does exactly what I need it to do. Make sure…

I'm marking this for later......soooo great!!!

It wouldn't factor into your HR settings but losing weight and adding a year in age WOULD effect your calories burned. So YES, when you drop pounds or add a year in age you should change those on your HRM.

I have both TF & Insanity and due to medical issues with my muscles right now Insanity (while I LOVE it) is a little too hard for me to do on a regular basis. The very first TF I did I had to crack a HUGE smile because I also did Turbo Jam and the warm up we were doing in the TF workout was like something right out of…

I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to be able to walk into a store and buy a sport bra. I have to order mine online from the UK because that's the only place that will carry a 30G! I love the Shock Absorber bras that I can get from bravissimo.com. There are also a couple of other places that sell the Shock Absorber but it is still a…

This is one that Chalene Johnson does in Turbo Fire Stretch 10....I love it and it really stretches that outer thigh muscle. She gives the que to imagine someone is pushing on your upper back trying to push you forward. This straightens your back and REALLY stretches that muscle.

I got mine off ebay for about $47 plus shipping for the deluxe set (15 DVDs). (I got lucky and the auction ended at 3 AM!!!) Now I do have to caution you about ebay and Beachbody stuff. There are burned copies that people are trying to sell as new. MAKE SURE you check the person's reviews. If there are a few people yelling…

I would think that if you're thirsty....drink. Thirst is your body's way of telling you that you need fluids. Actually, I think I've read that once you reach the "I'm thirsty" stage you're already dehydrating (Not using the right words here but I'm not sure how else to word it)

It could be that Kenpo is supposed to be a "recovery" of sorts. I don't do P90X, I do Insanity and Turbo Fire. But some programs fit in a "recovery" day, especially if it's a series that's really tough, so that you're still working out but giving your muscles a little of a break too. Just a thought. Good luck with…

It would be best to invest in a heart rate monitor. They can get a little pricey but as far as HRMs go, you tend to get what you pay for. I have a Polar F6 and I googled it a few weeks back and it runs about $80-$100 depending on where you get it. The main things to look for in an HRM is the ability to input age, weight,…

I'm another person who stops my HRM when I stop working out. I do Insanity and Turbo Fire and as soon as the cool down is done I stop my HRM. It's just a convenient time to stop it and I don't have to keep watching it to see for a certain percentage/HR and possibly lose track. The afterburn of those two workouts continue…

This is the theory used in BOTH the Insanity and Turbo Fire workouts. I can attest to the shrinking factor of it. I have only done 2 of the Turbo Fire workouts this week (my ONLY workouts for the week so far, getting ready to do my third) and I have already felt my lower abs shrink a little. It's probably less than an inch…

WOW....that site is awesome!!! Thanks for posting it. Calories per WW point can vary as others have said....the more fiber and less fat there is, the lower the point value. But MOST (probably not ALL) items that are 100 cals equal 2 pts so per point it would have to be under 100 cals. I did Weight Watchers after I had my…

Ok....I take that back.....the way I did it put it in "my exercises" and it isn't in MFP's database.....that's what I wanted. I didn't want someone else using my entry and it messing them up (not because I'm selfish but because I don't want to mess someone up....make sense?) Thanks for the responses.

I added it to the database but I didn't really want to do that every time......i just wanted to label it (so I know what I did) and enter my cals burned and put it in my diary. I thought there was a way to do it that way but I just can't find it.

I have the original 5 DVD Turbo Jam version and like it a lot too. You can get Beachbody stuff pretty reasonably on ebay but you HAVE to do your homework before bidding. If you look at it and it's coming from Hong Kong.....I wouldn't trust it. Also click on the sellers reviews and if you see several saying that they got…

I got my Insanity for about $60-80 or so for the deluxe package from ebay. You DO have to be careful as there can be counterfeits out there. I always check a sellers reviews on ebay for that reason.....if there are a few people yelling counterfeit then I go to another auction.....there's always tons. I just got Turbo Fire…

Thank you Mrsyac2 for asking this.....these sound great!!!

I think the parts that "they" are talking about causing cancer is the very blackened parts if you overcook it. We've used a George Forman grill for years and we're fine. I think if you watch it and cook just until it's done you'll be fine. My husband and I have a digital food thermometer that has the temps meat should be…

I have reactive airway asthma and it's the albuterol in your inhaler that makes you "shaky".....it's a side effect of that medication. Once you start using it on a regular basis again that should subside or go away. I usually go long stretches of not using my inhaler so I always get the shakes but I deal with it because…
