Looking for a good Yoga DVD
Can anyone recommend a good Yoga DVD? I'm looking for one that's more Hatha style - holding poses to stretch and build flexibility and endurance. My plan is to do Jillian Michaels DVDs (Body Revolution) 4x/wk and Yoga 2x/wk with cardio on the days that I do Yoga. Ideally I'd like the Yoga workouts to be 45-60 minutes long.

5'6", 228 lbs, 34 years old - feeling bad
I guess I have to face the fact that I'll probably never have the body I want. At this stage of the game, tube tops and mini skirts are probably out for the rest of my life. I want to date again but men won't even look at me. I just don't see that it's worth trying any more. Last year I lost 30 lbs and felt so good about…

And then they ask how much money you can afford to dedicate to being healthier and out come the supplements and…

I wouldn't be worried or upset except I've gained about 20 lbs since the last time I went and I know there's no realistic way for me to lose 20 lbs in 5 weeks So my question is - could I feasibly drop one dress…

Question about maximizing results
I am 34 years old, weigh 233 lbs, am 5'5" and have a deadline of August 31st to work with thanks to a social event I am attending. I have a workout buddy to motivate me, which is great.

Need a good beginner workout
I'm 34 years old, dumped by two boyfriends for other women because I'm too fat, and really hate myself today. I weigh almost 230 lbs and I'm only 5'6". I think I've got my eating plan locked down right now, but I could use some online friends to help me with a decision regarding strength training. I've tried probably half…
