  • I"m with the majority who say NO. It is far too easy to have spankings turn into abuse. Besides, what are you teaching your children but 'I will physically hurt you' if you don't do what I say. I was spanked/beaten with objects and hands by my mother, who should have known better, and all it did was leave lasting anger and…
  • First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss! That is tremendous! I hope you will share some of the things that helped you get there. I think you should see a plastic surgeon for a consult. If you are young, it's very possible that most of the loose skin will shrink back into place and maybe a little lipo around the…
  • The diet "experts" almost always say the first week's awesome weight loss is usually a lot of water (who cares?) and after that, 2lbs per week is fabulous.

  • Zumbaholic reporting in! I'm in my 32 consecutive week and happily addicted. I think the calorie burn is going to depend on your current weight and exertion. Since I'm completely drenched at the end of the 60-minutes, I give it the equivalent of one hour of singles tennis (which I also do). For those who are looking for a…
  • I need help sticking to the program on weekends! I love to eat, love to play tennis and do zumba (major sweatfest) but apparently I also love to party too much b/c I'm not really losing weight. Add in my middle-aged metabolism.... yikes. Maybe I should stockpile some calories during the week for the weekend counts like…
