Pocket pedometer
The Omron HJ-112 Pocket Pedometer is an advanced, high-tech pedometer that--thanks to unique dual sensor technology--can be carried in your pocket or bag. Now you can just drop your pedometer in your purse to find out how much exercise you get in a typical day of work, errands, and other tasks. Of course, you can also attach it to your belt like a traditional pedometer.

A large, easy-to-read display helps you keep tabs on your workout. View larger.

The HJ-112 accurately measures your steps, as well as aerobic steps and minutes. You can also use it to measure calories burned during your workout, as well as the distance you've traveled.

The device's large, easy-to-read LCD display can separately display aerobic steps and minutes walked more than 10 minutes continuously, so you always have the information you need right in front of you. Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise. The device also resets at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it's always close at hand.

The HJ-112 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The device measures approximately 2.8 x 2.1 x .6 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 1.1 ounces (not including battery).

"Omron pedometer" 2010-06-03
By Karen J. Mitchell
I love this pedometer so much that when my first one did not survive the washer and dryer, I had to replace it immediately!

"Great Product" 2010-06-01
By Rob Trenckmann
I really like this pedometer. I tried the 'classic pendelum swing' type, and it wasn't accurate at all. I've tested this one and found it to be quite accurate and helpful. It is nice because it can clip on or be put in your pocket, and it works either way.

"Exactly what I was looking for" 2010-06-01
By Steven P. Herrmann
I'm sure there are fancier, more expensive, Pedometers available....but the Omron HJ-112 was perfect for my needs. Easy to use, inexpensive, and accurate.

"I love, love, love this!" 2010-05-30
By Longmontlady (Warner Robins GA)
I'm in sales -- I'm all about quota and "making my numbers".

I am also very glad I didn't review this as soon as I got it. It's not the easiest to set up. I got it, opened it and put in the battery and put it aside. The directions don't flow and it took my techie hubby to bail me out-- and only after several tries. My first thought was to send it back. So, to avoid my frustration-- put the battery in only when you are ready to set it up.

But now, I am in love. The goal is 10K steps a day or 5 miles. They add up. Doing laundry, making the bed and breakfast, etc etc added about a mile. Then I went for my 3 mile walk. My walk has markers and I found it to be accurate. Then it was a birthday celebration and I had a larger meal than usual. So instead of the 10K steps, I walked around my pool several steps. It's 6PM and I'm at 15K, and feeling light (vs fat) from the meal.

These steps add up, to and fro the shop center parking lot is 75 steps each way. How easy is this-- you overeat a bit so step it up! It's only easy cause you can see your progress.

K-- skip the harness. It comes with a string already and the bundled harness is $3 and they're gonna charge you shipping. I was discouraged reading the other reviews-- some saying "get something more serious" at this price? But next one will be a watch, waterproof at that. You need pockets for this. You can put it in your purse, but I don't take my purse in sales calls.

So, I learned about pedometers, quotas and after one day-- feel great. I'm addicted! It keeps me moving-- did I mention I'm in sales and love improving my numbers?

"Great tool for keeping fit" 2010-05-30
By A. Mittal (Pasadena, Ca United States)
I am very pleased with this Pedometer. It's simple and yet provides adequate information for a daily walking regimen. Experts say that one should walk 10,000 steps a day, which translates in to about 5 miles. I usually end up with 5,000 steps but with this device I know I can get to my goals easier.

"Supplemental Protein" 2010-06-02
By J. Messier (Sacramento, CA)
Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard line is one of the best-tasting and easily-dissolved protein powders I've tried. It comes in a variety of flavors so there should be something for everyone - but I encourage sampling as not every flavor is right for every person. The nutrition label says it all for this powder; High protein, low-carb and very little fat makes this a perfect supplementary protein source.

Whether you're an amateur lifter, pro body builder, or just an average Joe it is likely that your eating habits are heavily carb-centric. To a lifter or dieter, the addition of supplementary protein to your overall caloric load will help keep you satisfied as well as foster any lean-muscle adaptations (whether you're after endurance, "toning", or size gains) you may be after. Personally, I use this product as a staple in my diet to offset the cost (in both price and preparation time) of my food budget and it is integral to my weight loss and muscle building goals & progress to date.

If you're tired of clumpy tasteless powders, give ON's whey a shot! You'll be glad you did.


Some other consumption ideas:
(note: boiling or very hot water will curdle the whey mixture - not tasty!)
Hot Protein (cocoa)
Instead of hot cocoa mix, I add a scoop of whey and artificial sweetener to 8oz of hot water or coffee (NOT fresh! cool it down)
Oats and Whey
Add a scoop to a prepared bowl of oatmeal for a flavor (and protein!) kick
Oatshake
Combine 1/3 cup oats, 8oz water/milk (or ice cream), 2tbsp peanut butter, and ice. Blend to desired thickness (amount of ice and oats used determines overall texture)


Don't forget - if you aren't dieting scientifically, you aren't dieting! Consult your doctor before beginning any new diet or exercise program and read about calories, metabolic rate, and body fat percentage. The body you want is yours with dedication and perseverance!

"good quality protein source" 2010-06-01
By Urne Wisconsin (Tampa, Florida)
The taste was not bad when I mixed it with coffee. The quality of the protein seemed good and carried me through much as a light breakfast would.

"Great product" 2010-05-26
By C. Wells
This is the first time I've tried this product, and it is excellent. I especially like the solubility of the mix in milk, soymilk, and water.

"Good stuff" 2010-05-25
By Brandon Thomson
I think Vanilla Ice Cream tastes way better than Double Rich Chocolate. Or maybe I am just sick of the latter after 5lbs worth.

"Good product when you on a buget" 2010-05-24
By The High Evolutionary (For Now, Northern New Jersey)
This product is very good for those that are on a budget. It cheap and is effective for someone who is either beginning a supplement program or for those who are trying to maintain gains or leanness. I don't believe this product would help hardcore bodybuilders and those looking for major gains quickly. As for my personal experience with this product. I noticed that I got a bit leaner with taking this product and my strength increased a little from a month ago. Granted have been working out pretty hard to get ready for the summer season.....so that does also play in as a factor. But I would say the ON whey has help a bit in my quest for the "beach body." I would also say that combined with ON Casein in a supplement program ON Whey has help me recover a bit quicker after a hard work out that I would otherwise. That is an important factor for a somewhat older guy (late 30's.) I like to get out of bed in the morning and not feel like I just work out a hour ago. So high marks in aiding recovery.
Mixing and taste. On Whey is easy to mix with all types of methods. Whether it with blender, shaker, even with a spoon, I had no problem with mixing it. As for taste and consistency. It's very light when mixed with water and taste pretty good with it. Though it does leave a slightly funny after taste. But I prefer a heavier consistency. so I mix it with milk. And as far as I'm concerned it tastes great with no after taste.
So over all a good solid product. The only reason why I don't give it 5 stars is that this product does not produce big gains in strength or in size.

Amazon.com Product Description

Premium dental water jet with dramitically improved design, large selection of accessories. Dentists' choice. Clinically proven. Covered lid tip storage.
The Waterpik WP-100 Ultra Dental Water Jet is clinically proven to be more effective than floss for healthier gums. Most dental professionals recommend brushing and flossing to keep your teeth and gums their healthiest. Unfortunately, nearly 80-percent of Americans don't floss on a regular basis, and most people find flossing to be a painful or unpleasant chore. Finally, there is an effective alternative to flossing that feels great and is simple to complete.

Clinically proven to be 93-percent more effective than flossing.

Get cleaner, healthier gums in just 14 days. View video (requires Flash).

Waterpik Ultra delivers water pressure of 10-90 PSI and 1,200 pulses per minute.

The Waterpik Ultra goes way beyond flossing to keep your gums their healthiest. Waterpik has designed the WP-100 to deliver a water pressure of 10 to 90 PSI with 1200 pulses per minute. This system delivers a clinically proven combination of water pressure and pulsation to remove debris and bacteria lodged deep between teeth and below the gum-line -- three times deeper than brushing alone. In addition, it massages and stimulates the gums to improve circulation and help promote strong and healthy gums. The Waterpik Ultra is so effective that it is clinically proven to be up to 93-percent more effective than flossing at reducing gum bleeding -- a key indicator of impending gum disease.

In fact, there are over 50 published clinical studies that show the Waterpik Dental Water Jet provides significant oral health benefits, for people who wear braces, have diabetes, and have mild to moderate gum disease. That's why Waterpik is the most recommended brand by Dental Professionals. In addition to healthier gums, there is nothing better than the clean, refreshing feeling you'll get after using the Waterpik Ultra. While floss can often leave your gums bleeding, swollen and generally beaten up, the WP-100 makes your mouth feel great. Waterpik guarantees healthier gums in just 14 days. If, after using the Ultra for two weeks, your gums are not healthier, or if you are dissatisfied for any reason, then simply return it for a refund -- no questions asked.

Other Waterpik Ultra Features:

• Six tips (included)
• Two standard jet tips -- Cleans deep between teeth and below the gumline
• One tongue cleaner -- Removes bacteria that cause bad breath
• One orthodontic tip -- Cleans hard to reach areas around braces and other dental work
• One Pik Pocket tip -- Gently delivers therapeutic rinses into gum pockets
• One toothbrush tip -- You can brush and water jet at the same time
• Contemporary compact design -- 20-percent smaller than previous models
• Advanced ergonomic handle design -- optimized maneuverability
• Advanced pressure control with 10 pressure settings
• Quiet operation
• Covered reservoir with extra tip storage in the lid
• 14-day "Healthier Gum" guarantee

"I Wonder Why Dentists Didn't Tell Me About This?" 2010-06-03
By Philip A. Black (South Florida, US)
Over the years I have gone to probably a dozen different dentists in several states as I have moved around, and I've spent quite a bit of money on their services. One of my problems has been that I hate to floss, and this has cost me dearly. If only I could find a way to clean between my teeth, but not hate it like I hate flossing! Guess what? Here it is!

After reading several dozens of reviews about this product, and being amazed at the extremely high percentage of positive reviews (probably the highest for any product I've researched on Amazon), I decided to get one of these and try it out. Not wanting to wait, I went out and bought it at the largest big box chain in the world (you know of whom I speak :) It was twelve bucks more expensive than on Amazon, but if I hadn't been in a hurry I would have ordered it here.

Anyway, once home I read the directions (not much there), plugged it in, added water, set the power control on "5" and put it to work. Keep in mind that I had my regular dental cleaning two weeks earlier, and had just rinsed my mouth out with warm water several times before trying this Waterpik, so I didn't expect much to happen, if anything at all.

I was stunned at what came out! It was clear that I had made a very good purchase...

About the unit itself: many other reviews mentioned the many accessories that come with this unit and how most of them are useless; I agree. I use the 'basic' waterjet fitting, the clear one, and that's probably the only one I'll ever use. The others are more specialized, such as people who have braces, deep gum pockets, dirty tongues, etc. But I might try the toothbrush fitting someday.

I started with the power setting in the middle at '5' and it worked amazingly well, as previously mentioned. I'm dubious about the need to go for the higher settings, with some reviews stating that the highest setting could take paint off old furniture. I just want to clean below my gum lines, not remove them! Eventually I'll try a setting-or-two higher, but my results indicate that it may not be necessary to do the job. Plus, apparently, the higher the setting, the faster you will run out of water in the smallish 20 oz. tank.

To use, fill the tank with 'lukewarm' water, according to the directions, and have at. At the '5' setting the water seems to last maybe a minute, give-or-take (I haven't timed it). After using the Waterpik for a week now, a minute works out just fine, but when first starting out, I had to refill it one or two times. Now, one tank fill is all I need. Some mentioned that you'll get wet, and if you're not careful, you will. Just remember this: water is going into your mouth; unless you plan to swallow all of it, then it's gonna come back out, right? Lean over the sink when you use this Waterpik and you'll be just fine. Or, stand up straight, complain that the coiled tubing is too short, and let water run down your chest and arm. When using this product, common sense is optional, but highly recommended.

I used to use a peroxide-based whitening rinse between flossing and brushing, so now instead of using it like mouthwash before brushing, I just add the same amount to the water as I fill the Waterpik tank, and it makes the cleaning experience even better! However, remember that some chemicals may slowly cause damage to internal components of the Waterpik (which ones? I don't know!), so if I add any type of mouthwash or whatever to the water, I rinse the tank out, and run one-half a tank of plain water through the system to rinse it out. Just in case. This should lengthen the life of the unit, I hope.

It is a little loud, since it uses a small motor to run a small pump, but I've never used any previous Waterpik units to compare it to, so all I can say is that I don't find it excessively loud. But it might be loud enough to disturb a partner who is sleeping. I put a dry folded washcloth under it to dampen the noise somewhat, and it helps. But I live alone so I don't have to worry about it.

Do yourself a huge favor and buy one of these! And *especially* if you have kids, buy one for them too!

"Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet" 2010-06-02
By Avid Reader (Orange County, California)
I wore out my first waterpik and have ordered a new one. I am amazed at how much my waterpik flushes out EVEN AFTER BRUSHING. It also helps firm up my gums.

"Works Very Well!" 2010-06-01
By Hugh Tenison (Ft. Wayne, In)
Far superior to Interplak products! This Waterpik product is well designed and works as intended. The on-off switch and the pressure control dial are nice features as are multiple heads for different purposes. Don't even consider Interplak (noisy and leaky)!

"it works" 2010-05-31
By R. Williams
The waterpik works as claimed. I cannot comment on its durability, but it removes food particles that would be otherwise difficult to remove with floss. I use it after every meal.

By Jane E. Oldham (Kilmarnock, Virginia United States)
The new waterpik is much quieter than its predecessor; is very efficient; and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a need for this instrument.

"Worked well for me.." 2010-04-05
By Northwoods Mom (MN)
I hesitated before buying this because there was only one review on amazon and mixed reviews elsewhere, but I'm glad I tried it. The pills last for 2 weeks, during which time the instructions encourage you to eat lots of fruits and veggies with lean meats added in if need be. I'm a mom of two busy kids and a hungry husband, so although we always incorporated those foods into our meals, I also ate carbs and other foods throughout the whole period (mostly whole wheat breads and pastas--for the most part there was little to no junk food). But even while eating all of this I lost a solid 3 to 4 pounds during the process, that I stil have not gained back 3 months later now. It was my first time ever doing any kind of detox, so I really do think (and hope) that the weight I shed was the excess gunk that had built up in my system all my life. As the other reviewer had said, I also felt that the pills worked somewhat as a laxative. I was already pretty "regular" but these pills made me have to go to the bathroom at least twice as much. Not to get too specific, but it may help to know that stools were always soft and sometimes loose, but never "explosive." Overall I liked the product, and I'll probably do it twice a year from now on (it tells you to wait at least a month before doing it again). I gave it 4 out of 5 stars simply because the semi-frequent loose stools did leave me feeling a bit raw at the end of the two week period.

"Nature's Secret" 2009-12-10
By Jenniferbsu08 (Indianapolis, Indiana)
Nature's Secret Acia Power Berry Pure Body Cleanse is a good product. It seems to act somewhat like a laxative for me. I choose to eat fresh fruits and vegetables while taking it since my job is hands on and I need a lot of energy. It helps me feel full, therefore I stop eating a lot sooner than I used to. I have lost about 6 pounds while taking it and my body feels like it flushed out (no pun intended :) haha) some of the toxins. I would recommend it to someone who doesn't eat a lot of junk food. I don't eat a lot of junk food, therefore I could've cared less if I ate fresh fruit and vegetables for two weeks. When I took it before eating breakfast in the morning it made my stomach growl but not hurt from hunger pains. Maybe the growls were the pills working.
