I think this looks good. I think you are right about the band. I am traveling with 3 kids and a hubby, so packing light is always a good idea. And lots of healthy snacks.

We are going on vacation for a week and a half (driving to California from Texas). I am having serious anxiety about being away from the gym that long (not to mention the crap I am likely to consume...

If you want to find out if you have any more growing to do, you can have a doctor xray your long bones (like the femur). If the ends (where growth occurs) have not yet fused, you will grow some more....

Spinach and blueberries are right up there. But, you should really try to "eat a rainbow" to get all the benefits of veggies and fruit.

Ohhh Yeah!!! Make sure you get the good cinnamon. Costs a little more, but well worth it.

Your son's shoe size tells you a lot. He is going to be tall and he needs those calories. If he is active at all, he may need 3000 calories each day to grow! Keep an eye on his body. You will know if...

Sounds like me and my hubby. I started just doing cardio (was so scared of the free weights). But I wanted more than fat burn, so I started to lift with him. I love the weight room now! I had to work...

Spelling is highly overrated (That's why God invented spell check). As is memorization. Creativity is far more valuable in this world. Our brians did not evolve to spell. They evolved to solve...

I am very nervous about the academics. I feel like motherhood has turned my brain to mush. I have to say, since I have gotten serious about fittness, I feel sharper mentally. Thanks so much!

I can do 3!!! I have been using the assisted machine for several months and worked my way down to 0 lbs. If you don't have the assist machine, have someone hold your ankles at first. You will be able...

Congratulations! You have taken the biggest, most importants couple of steps. My advice is to start at the gym on whatever is most enjoyable to you. If you hate it, you won't go back. Try the...

Thanks for all of the wonderful supportive feedback. Y'all are great!

After a 12 year break, I am returning to school in the fall. I am very nervous about this as it is; now my husband says, "you know, you are not going to keep all this up (meaning weight...

You may need to listen to some of those cravings. Prior to our periods, we suffer from a drop in seritonin in our brains (a major cause of mood swings). During this time, studies suggest it is a good...

I love this topic! I am an Anthropologist by education, and I have been thinking about doing an ethnography of the weight room. I usually lift with my husband. The really funny thing is, other guys...

It is amazing how much diet helps. My dad is in his 60s and has diabetes. He has been able to reduce his needs for medication by cutting almost all carbs. He walks for excercise, but I have been...

I am soooo there. Those couple days before the ol' period, not good. I promise myself rewards for working out, like some chocolate, a good latte, a pedicure. Music is also really helpful. My biggest...

I thought working out would give me boundless energy, and in general I do feel better mentally and physically. However, every afternoon, I get really sleepy and sometimes have to take a quick 15-20...

Oh good! I have lots of new veins showing. Glad this is desireable (was a little wierded out at first). Thanks!

I am not seeing any change in the numbers on the scale (not much anyway) so I decided to recalculate my %body fat since I am feeling much more solid. The first calculator I used said 21% (a 2%...
