Personal gift: I want (probably need) a gift certificate for new clothes (like a whole new wardrobe:happy: ). Non-personal gift: 1 day of peace :flowerforyou: . No killings, no war, no bombs, no guns. No hatred. No natural disasters (large or small). PEACE, pure and simple.

:happy:

So sad, but SOOOOO funny

A speed bag or punching bag works well. I couldn't agree more. Add a little mental imagery (the guy that cut you off, the skinny size 2 who looked down at you when you were about through cartwheels for finally buying a size 8 dress and it fit). The endorphines help better than any pizza and wine combo I have tried.

I'm in and thanks for doing this. Name/ real name: TinaMLT / Tina Goal weight on December 31st: 136lbs 12/01: 144 lbs 12/05: 12/12: 12/19: 12/26: 12/31:

...attempt a Tae Kwon Do class. I've been sick with a chest cold and am feeling tired by the end of thd day. :yawn: I NEVER miss my Curves workout, but for the last three days have not attended one of my TKD classes.:grumble: Today, I will go and do at least 30 minutes. :smile:

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted. It's good to know that I'm not going to screw this up by being a little less careful about doing what I'm supposed to. I'll post in 4 or 5 days to let all of you know how I'm doing. Thanks so much for your help and kind words. They may actually get me to continue on with…

You know this sounds kind of good. I think I will get my hubby to get the ingredients and make one for me after I wake up from my nap. Thanks

That's more luck than anything else.

Many of the patients cannot recieve the vaccine because they have absolutely no immune system. Examples are SCIDS, chemotherapy (especially for bone marrow transplants), HIV seroconverted (some not all). These patients cannot have the shot because they cannot, physically, mount any form of an immune response, becasue they…

History Lesson: The worst influenza outbreak in the last 150 years occured in 1918-1919. It was called the Spanish flu. It killed over 5 million people the world over. In some areas 50% of the people who caught it died. The scary thing about it wasn't the kill rate, it was the infection rate. Some places had a 40%…

Then here's a good question for you: Would you consider getting the flu shot after the WHO and the CDC announce that a highly virulent, very contagious flu is about to go pandemic? If so, what is the difference, every time you catch the flu you run the risk of all the serious complications including pneumonia, multi-organ…

But, new studies suggest that some non-animal products actually store the b12 vitamin as well, but nothing is yet proven. [/quote] So you are willing to risk your health on an unproven theory. Smart.

I and just about every fitness expert on the planet will disagree. If he wants to improve his flexibility he needs to stretch AFTER exercise. If you want to do the two person stretches do them AFTER he works out.

Very important: The stretching BEFORE workouts keeps you from hurting yourself during the workout. THE STRETCH AFTER THE WORKOUT improves your flexibility.

Hi: This is what I do: I get into the stretch position that I want to improve and stretch to the point just before it starts to be uncomfortable. I hold that position and take a deep breath and hold it. When I let the breath slowly go and lean a little deeper into the stretch until it starts to be just a little…

You've never watched a child gasp for breath while trying to fight off whooping cough have you. You definately don't have a teenaged boy who has come down with mumps and is now sterile either. Because if you did you would be the one DEMANDING that every child be vaccinated against these killers. Measles kills, mumps kills,…

OK, There was one response that has me totally mystified. They DO NOT USE animal body parts to make the vaccine (that one I haven't heard yet, so congrats for that). They do use chicken eggs. The very same ones you eat. No dead animal parts, no mice, rats, goats, pigs, horses or elephants, just chicken eggs. This is why…

Unfortunately this is not true, people who die from influenza usually die from pnenumonia. A bacterial infection brought on by a now seriously overtaxed immune system and damaged lungs due them being attacked and damaged by the flu virus. Keeping hydrated will make you not feel as horrible, but it will NOT keep you from…

But way more people have died wishing that they had gotten the flu shot. Last year in Canada (I don't know the US stats), almost 7000 people died of influenza. There were NO and I mean NO deaths due to the flu shot last year.

The flu vaccine relies on your immune system too. It simply offers the same virus (without the getting you sick parts) to your immune system and then lets your body develop an immunity the same way it woud as if you had come into contact with the full virus that caused the full disease. Your immune system doesn't know one…

What do you think micro organisms are? They are classified as animals by biologists the world over, albeit, the lowest form of animal life, but still animal life. The only difference is that they are single cellular instead of multicellular. When I indicated that the only sources of B12 were animal sources that is exactly…

This is absolutely FALSE. The flu shot will stop you from being a carrier. :explode:

The important thing is to ask yourself why you are so upset about getting it? Is it the risks? Which ones? Are you uncomfortable with getting a needle? Are you worried about side effects? I can answer some of these: The risks of getting the flu shot are VERY small. Almost every person who gets the shot experiences little…

Hi: Vegetarianism has many forms. Vegan: no animal products of any kind. Lacto-ovo meaning they eat eggs and milk products and pescatarinism meaning they will eat fish. Regardless of the choice, so long as you educate yourself and manage your diet these are healthful diets. There is one word of warning: Watch your B12 and…

The most annoying thing about using exercise to encourage weight loss is the muscle gain:frown: . Please don't get me wrong, because, YOU WANT MUSCLE. Muscle burns calories even when you are sleeping! Its only drawback is that muscle is approximately 6 times more dense the fat. So if you took an inch of muscle and an inch…
