Thanks! I'm trying to minimize rather than maximize my butt. How often are you doing all these exercises?

And what's the second half of your workout?

i also quit smoking in september and i'll just tell you what i imagine you already know.  throw away whatever cigarettes you currently have right now! if you buy another pack, you know exactly where it's going to lead. you've been there before and you clearly didn't like it as you quit already. you can go right back to being a non-smoker! plus smoking does not relieve stress at all and haven't you felt better since quitting?

just tell one your friends that you helped quit and they'll force you to stick with it. 

Fitness HI everyone, does anyone do power yoga? Feb 01 2008

I've been in Boston for a little while and I've been going to the Baptiste yoga studio here.  The room is heated and so you end up sweating enormous amounts. But I feel like I can't tell if I'm actually working or if I'm just hot. do you feel like you get a real workout when you do it in a normal temperature?

thanks tanyec! i really have one heck of a bubble butt. and it seems that any exercise i do only seems to make it more so. people are always commenting on it (like even strangers on the street!). even though though i guess it's supposed to be a compliment, it makes me totally mortified and want to wear a garbage bag instead of clothes.

I definitely think a beautiful face is way more important than a having a perfect body. but why do you say your face was ugly?

I have an omega juicer. it's a little pricey, but it's extremely easy to clean. All of the parts unscrew and you can buy filters to make it even easier. I'd recommend it highly!
Health & Support How dangerous is occasional smoking? Oct 27 2007
22:00 (UTC)

Yeah, it's bad for you to smoke even occasionally. I've read stories of people getting lung cancer who only smoked a couple a week. But also every heavy smoker started out as an occasional smoker.  You should quit now before you get hooked - if you keep it up, it'll only get harder to stop.
Fitness Rope jumping to compensate? Oct 19 2007

Jumping rope is about as good and convenient a work-out as I know of, but I'm not sure if it should be the only exercise you do. An hour is a really long time to jump for - I don't even think pro boxers do it that long! Maybe you could buy some weights and do half an hour jumping half an hour strength training?
Health & Support Vitamins Oct 19 2007

While there's no substitute for vegetables, they make organic food-based vitamins. You absorb a lot more of the vitamins than in other kinds of supplements. I take one by New Chapter that I like very much.

Fitness Going to the gym Oct 16 2007

I was also nervous about going to the gym for the first time, but there is really nothing to worry about!! My experience is everyone is just doing their own thing and not paying attention to what anyone else is doing. I used to think that people would judge me - like if I wasn't running fast or if i looked silly doing some exercise - but it was all in my head. And don't worry at all if you're not fit to start with. That's why people go to the gym! You have to see that's a pretty silly reason not to go, right?

For the first time, just go for a little while.  Maybe just walk on the treadmill.  As sabine said, you should see about getting a trainer to show you how to use the machines because you could injure yourself if you do them incorrectly. 

Weight Loss water drinking Oct 16 2007

What I meant was, I know that water is important to drink for a million reasons. But - to use a silly example - is drinking water like watering plants? When you start to water a plant all the water gets absorbed. But after it reaches saturation all the excess water just runs out. Is there a point of saturation with humans where everything you drink beyond that point is irrelevant?

Weight Loss Does breakfast really make a difference? Oct 02 2007
17:37 (UTC)

In my experience, not being hungry for breakfast is a sign that I ate too much too late in the day.  Perhaps if you try for one day having breakfast (even if you're not hungry) you'll be less likely to eat later on and then the next day you'll actually want breakfast when you wake up.

I just quit a month ago about after smoking for five years about.   I read this book called "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Alan Carr.  I thought there was no way I would quit reading some book, but it is really effective. They sell it everywhere - you should check it out.  Basically he says it is easy to quit - you just have to change your perspective. 

I would totally be into a quit smoking group.

I think almonds are the best nut for snacking. I read somewhere that macadamias and cashews have the highest calories - so maybe don't eat too many of those...
