Thanks for all the great advice. I'm glad to see I won't be the only parent out there limiting the kids' candy consumption. :) Hopefully this year everyone will give out the gross stuff - tootsie rolls, the gross taffy, maybe some mary jane candies? Please no snickers, baby ruths, peanut butter cups. I'm making myself…

Thanks for the ideas. My kids are (10,8,6 & 3) so it is getting harder and harder with the older kids. Poor children are cursed w/ a love of food and anything sweet just like their parents.

This has happened to me. I was training for a marathon, did the 30 day shred a couple of times and it was too much for my knees. I do not think it is a very safe workout for someone w/ joint pain. I like the ab, upper body portion of that workout but don't like all the jumping jacks, lunges, etc. I read in one running book…

115, is a really hard goal to reach! Try to work on 5-10 lbs at a time and focus on slow and steady weight loss. I ran like crazy, even finished a marathon recently but my weight plateaued at 125. (i'm only 5'2'') I am now going to try to watch my caloric intake and focus on healthy eating, not dieting. Good luck. It's…
