Resistance Cords Workouts?
Hi, my lovely husband bought me a set of resistance cords (Tricords) today (the bungee type ones with handles), and it comes with a DVD with one program on it. I was wondering if anyone knows of any other DVD's using them? I recall seeing one but I can't remember who or what it was? Was a woman, possibly blonde, lol, awful…

Am I just being old-fashioned?
I know of someone who is taking her two children (aged 8ish and 11ish) out of her country away on holiday to meet a guy she has never met in real life, though they have been "together" for about a year via internet.

I'm aiming to lose around 70lbs which will get me into the "healthy" range for my height (5ft). I'd like to be lean and muscular, not "skinny". I try to eat a wide range of food, keeping my protein higher, I'm not…

Cosmetic Surgery
So, this may be a controversial topic, but who has or know someone who has had cosmetic surgery after weight loss? eg. abdominoplasty, lipo, brachyplasty etc? A friend and I were discussing it yesterday, as we've both had children via c-section (her two, me five) and no amount of exercise is going to get rid of all that…

Eating back exercise calories- what do you eat?
I've lost 9kg (~19lb) in 6 weeks and have been advised to start "eating back" my exercise calories to avoid shutting down my metabolism. I still have about another 75-80lbs I'd like to lose eventually (to get back to a healthy BMI), but my husband and I are considering having another child, and I'm really worried about…
