  • I make chainmaille(jewelry), sew costumes and corsets, belly dance, and make artificial limbs. Though a secret power would be... being able to find something of someone elses that is missing... though never my own... :-/
  • Belly Dance is excellent cardio and GREAT for the knees. Very low impact and overtime can help build the strength in muscles around the joint. I have bad joints in general but especially my knees, everyday I dealt with pain. Now, 5 years into Belly Dance and my knees feel SO much better and stronger. And not just my knees,…
  • I am one of those that isn't cut out for running or jogging except for small amounts. One, I am SLOOOOOW, no matter how hard I push myself. I can move very quickly initially but quickly fatigue. It also makes my knees and ankles swell and hurt. Finally my doc told me I have to find something else low impact. Belly Dance…
  • Congratulations on you weight loss! :D No, That is just their personality and has nothing to do the surgery. If not for the surgery they would probably find something else to brag about. Insurance will actually tell you not to do surgery b/c that costs them money AND you have to jump through tons of hoops to get it. My…
  • Re-die them! It's easier then you think! Go get some rit dye for the easiest... You might need to pre-bleach the entire pair first if it's a large spot, but if not... I'd just dye it. For a more advanced solution you can get your dying stuff from Dharma Trading, just google them, they're awesome!
  • What you're referring to here is spot increase (increase in muscle) You CAN NOT spot REDUCE (reducing adipose tissue (fat) in a specific spot. Any reduction happens roughly everywhere there is fat. Some individuals are lucky and they just so happen to loose the fat where they want it gone. But for the vast majority of us…
  • Cheat is a synonym for reward to me. While I might say cheat sometimes the meaning to me is treat for a job well done. Mainly because I don't have the self control to always treat myself in only small amounts(everyday ect). But when it becomes a "treat" day or "treat" meal then I have more self control to not over do it…
  • /\ this and you have to eat crap food occasionally. Either to satisfy a craving or as a treat or to remind yourself how crappy you feel afterwards (if that happens to you). As long as it's not everyday... don't sweat it! If I want my spicy chicken samich from Wendy's I am damn well going to have it. Depending on my…
  • The belly (even though I didn't really see one! :D ) could be a sign you need to strengthen your glutes! When your tush isn't as strong as it can be your pelvis (especially on us gals) will roll a bit forward. Do a few extra glute and back exercise and see if that helps. And for the people thinking you're pregnant are just…
  • That is the joy of this program! Sometimes it tells you to eat and you get all these lovely extra calories! Though I've been there where it's getting late and I've got 300+ calories to consume. Once in a while will not do any harm but switching your diet to that plan is not good long term. When we are heavier we use more…
  • I can't seem to find the group. Would you mind posting a link? Sorta West O here. :)
