detox?
Anyone ever do a detox? Not the starve yourself, drink water, lemon, and hot sauce kind... more herbal detox kind. Worth it? What brand/type? How long? I've seen some that cost more than $100 per treatment. Others about $25. Some last two weeks, others 30 days. Your thoughts.

above target HR
I use a Polar to monitor heart rate and always stay in range when doing exercise like elliptical, stairmaster, or dvd routines. However, when I run I tend to go over the last mile or two. I'm over only by 10-15 beats....I don't feel over worked so I keep going. I just wonder if when I reach that level, I should stop and…

which beach body dvd?
Which beachbody dvd would you recommend? I'm just looking for a solid cardio workout. I do weight training 2x week with a trainer so I don't need to lift as I do cardio (or should I say, I don't want to). I'm in pretty good shape now, I just want something to toss into the mix of stairmaster, running, and elliptical.…

best for fat burning? intervals???
Lots of discussion about this lately which has made me question my workouts. My stats: 120lbs, weight train (with trainer 2x week - 1 hour), cardio (stairmaster, running, jumping rope - 6x week, 45-60min). I'm in pretty good shape. Like all women, I desire that flat tummy....I dont' have it. I carry all my fat in my belly…

HRM...can't be right?
I just started using my Polar HRM again (it's a P4 or 6?) Anyway, I have used it the last few workouts and the calories burned seems very low compared to what MFP and my stairmaster says. I do 45 minutes of stairmaster at highest level - average of the two has me burning about 500 calories (I'm 117lbs). My HRM has me…

Should I continue to do aerobic exercise when sore from weights? I work out lower body Wednesday with a trainer and some days I'm SORE from walking lunges. I do aerobic exercise (run, elliptical, stairmaster) 6 days a week...and I LOVE it (not so much the weight training), My question is should I not exercise as hard if…

diet soda?
I have a diet rootbeer weakness....it is the only soda I drink and I allow myself only one a day. Problem is, I "use" it as a dessert. I hear so many stories on diet soda and weight gain. Just wondering if anyone thinks this is a problem. I don't eat dessert - just drink the rootbeer (am in bed about an hour later).

bodybugg
Wondering if anyone knows if the BodyBuggs can be "leased" for 3 months or so. I'm not willing to shell out $300 for something I know I wont use more than 3 months. If anyone has one - what are your thoughts? I'm sure it is helpful....but worth the investment for short term? Thank you.

no carbs at last meal?
What are the current thoughts on no starchy carbs at the last meal of the day? In other words just protein and fibrous carbs (most veggies). Good, bad, no difference?
