Thanks Cathe...I have three of your tapes that I ordered last September a few days before I had my "initial" attack. They are still in their wrappers but I hope that I can use them soon. I am making an appointment with the PT and will discuss weightlifting with her. I am certain it would be...

Ann and Cathe Thanks ladies for your input. Yes, everything has rather piled up on me in a few short months...stressful to say the least. I am making an appointment with a physical therapist. Even though I am still walking I don't think it is too early to start. Fortunately, we have a...

RE: Hi Kathleen! Hello Deb I am a twin also. Fortunately, my "other" is well. My diagnosis is not yet firm yet either...it is a frustrating disease to deal with. I hope your sister has a good doctor. I am learning to be very proactive regarding my health...otherwise you just fall between...

Debbie and girls on steps and such! Thanks Debbie and ladies You did find a bargain, Deb...isn't that great when you run into something like that. I might check a local paper that sells a lot of exercise equipment first. You might have to travel a ways into Pennsylvania to look at it but it...

RE: Hi, 123! Hi Debbie Was wondering where you got your long step from. I recently sold my weight bench due to room constrictions but would like to get a nice step that I can just slide away into the closet. I am tall so a longer one would be ideal. Anyplace online yours can be ordered...

Hello Cathe Prior to last September I was lifting regularly with your tapes and running two miles a day. Early in September I began having symtpoms with a probably diagnosis of MS, leaving me extremely weak and numb. I would like to return to weights to at least maintain some type of muscle...

Well, after moving from a second story apartment and all of the up and down that involved, lifting heavy boxes, etc...I was surprised that my upper body had no soreness...so something is working well, ladies. My feet were killing me but that was because I was on them all day...I guess they...

Hi Mary...small world, isn't it? I haven't been to Albany or Renssalear...but see the name quite often. I work as an Accountant for Leonard Bus Sales in Deposit and we sell to to your school district. I am was born and spent most of my life in Michigan so haven't explored a lot of New York...

Thanks HB...I have the Body for Life book, also...and like the small meals during the day...I think it stabilizes your blood sugar. Also a reason to get up from the desk... Good news is that we a local school has just built a fitness center and an indoor pool which will be open to the...

RE: outsmarting those stupid midlife fat cells... "You GO girls!" :-jumpy

Great suggestions! Thanks Michelle. Another thing I like is having a "private space" to exercise...if you do this at home...and making it pleasant...so it is all yours. It helps me to stay focused... Kathleen

Hi Linda It was nice reading your post Linda. I recently came off the end of a 30 year marriage and a two year relationship. Both men ended up with women that were built like sticks. I am 5"10" tall with good muscle tone ... but am also 50 ...and have found it increasingly difficult to keep...

RE: Michele... Michelle... Read the post from Ruth...(Arrggh)....I think you will find that everyone has those days. It is an excellend suggestion to get out and just do something you enjoy...exercise doesn't have to be a full-fledged workout with a video...any type of activity will make you...

Ruth Ruth Ruth Ruth Ruth (shaking you gently....) You are much to hard on yourself...believe me...I have many many days like that...and I stop to breath a lot!!!! It means you are working hard, doesn't it? If it was easy we would be feeling any gains or is that losses? It is hard to stay...

OK, HB...you answered my question 10 minutes before I posted it!!!! LOL...how did that happen? We are both earlybirds! :-rollen
