I've just had a mass detected on my mammogram and am now awaiting a biopsie. I'm confident it's nothing serious but I just wanted to take the opportunity to remind everyone how important regular health screenings are. We're all working hard on good health and let's not forget these important...

Of course we musn't forget the tremendous support that you all provide. Truly, it is comforting just knowing that validation and support and long distance friendship is always just a click away. You know I never used to log in all that much but now I'm on every day just because I get a kick...

I had been working out for many years, starting with swimming to strengthen the muscles of my back. I had soliosis surgery at age 14 and in my 20's I started having severe pain. My doctor then said, more surgery or try exercise. Well, I was, up until that point, a dedicated coach potato and...

Just a thought re: the chemical vs. natural debate. I think both elements have their place. For example, I must remain on the birth control pill, not to prevent pregnancy but to save my life! Without it I would not ovulate or have periods and eventually this can and does cause uterine cancer...

I had a tummy tuck four years ago after having twins in 1995. Once I had worked off the weight gain, I was left with a large amount of hanging skin. I could not be MORE pleased with the results. However, that being said, one must be so very careful with these decisions. I had to do a lot of...

I must agree here. These tapes are cheap looking and so cheesy. Tony thinks he's quite the comedian and you just wanna smack him. Anyway, I think it's a waste of money and Cathe and the Firm will keep you getting your money's worth. Sharon in Houston

I viewed the sample of the new Boot Camp workout it looks awesome and I was just wanting to get some feedback from those of you who have tried it. What do y'all think? Thanks, Sharon from Houston

Hello all. Thanks for your supportive chats from my Goin' Nuts post. Taught my first class since surgery and so far just feeling a little muscle soreness, no surgicial soreness. I had my first surgery when I was 14 to correct scoliosis and since then, bone had grown over and at the end of the...

I just needed to vent a wee bit. I've been out of commission for the last 4 weeks since having back surgery and not working out is making me bonkers!!!! For the first couple of weeks I felt too crappy to care really, but since feeling better it's been soooo hard not to work out. It's such a...

Hello Pammer. I teach a Sports Core class at my gym and I do both aerobic drills and strengthening/core exercises at the end. Wouldn't hurt to see the instructor and find out what her class has. It seems to be one of those things that some folks love and some not so much. Hope this helps...

This may sound crazy but, maybe you are not eating enough? I was battling a similar problem not too long ago and I was severely frustrated. I was teaching several classes a week and really watching my eating. I started working with a trainer at the club I teach at and he said I needed to up...
