Crossfit + lifting?
Hi all--Just wondering if any of you experienced crossfiters also do a progressive lifting program (like StrongLifts or Starting Strength, or similar). I've been doing SL for a while and just tried a crossfit class, which I loved. Just not sure how (or if) I can combine them efficiently. My goal at this point is really to…

Cute, easy travel dresses
My hub and I are taking our kids to Seattle, Portland and various points in-between at the end of July. For the city days, I want to get a couple of travel-friendly dresses--something that will be light and comfortable, casual, but also city-ish enough for museums, restaurants, etc. In other words, not TOO sporty.

Hi! Today's the first day of...
the rest of my (thinner) life? I hope! So, I've been dieting all my life. And now I'm almost 40 and *still* not where I'd like to be. But I'd really like to begin my 4th decade lighter in body and spirit. I'm just so tired of always thinking about my weight, and never being happy with my body. I turn 40 at the end of May.…
