Hi... Check out greatmats.com...several people here (including myself) have been using these. I love them. I do my cardio in a room with tile floor, and these have been a lifesaver. Home Depot sells the same type of thing a bit cheaper, but it's just called something other than greatmats...

Just had to comment on one of Donna's difficult moves...the first time I heard Cathe say "box lunges" I thought she said "boxed lunches", so even now, when she calls for that move, I start thinking about food.

I did a search of Cathe's open discussion forum, and found the following from March 2002. I'll copy and paste it at the end of this post. My husband gets excruciating headaches when he drinks anything with Aspartame. To find out about Splenda, go to Splenda.com Who knows, maybe someday...

I've read lots of posts from people who are concerned about the effects of aspartame, some people get physically ill from it. I've found that Diet Rite is sweetened with Splenda, and it's not bad! What are realy good though are the Diet Hansen's, which are sweetened with Splenda, too. They...

Your legs may hurt..... My husband went cold turkey off of caffeine a few years ago. He used to need to have caffeine before bed in order to not wake up with a headache. He figured he was too addicted, and just flat out quit. A few weeks afterward, his legs began to hurt...he said it felt...

Thanks! Thanks everyone, for your ideas and encouragement. I appreciate it very very much. Veronica

Thanks Colette! Great websites! I just cannot imagine that I will ever be able to be still for even 15 minutes to meditate. This inability to just relax and do nothing has contributed to the failure of my marriage, which hit me like a ton of bricks. My husband wants out, isn't "in love" with...

Hi... I am in desperate need of suggestions as to a good videotape to buy for meditation. My world is crumbling around me, and I am feeling very anxious and overwhelmed. My therapist wants me to replace some of the time I spend working out (which became an obsession) with meditation and deep...

I'm curious, too! Just bumping... Veronica

Patricia... Hi Patricia... I think the bar that you mention has in ittybitty print on the label somewhere that it contains glycerin and is not counted as a carb and therefore the calories are more than what is stated on the bar. Veronica

Wow! This post really caught my interest and I did a little websurfing. There's an interesting article at www.consumerlab.com/results/nutbars.asp that discusses the fact that glycerine isn't included in the calculation of carbs by many of the makers of these bars. Here's a quote: "The most...

Good going! Hi, Saralh! Just wanted to say I was very happy to read your post, and you should be proud of yourself. Sounds like you are indeed on the road to a healthy balance! It's good to hear stories like yours. Veronica

A Day Late and a Dollar Short by Terry McMillan. Just came out in paperback. LOVED IT! Wanted to stay home from work and read it straight through. Veronica

RE: Yes Thanks, Annette! The whoosh you hear is me whipping out my credit card! I think these might be just the thing for me. Lots of people enjoy creating routines, figuring out how to mix up their workouts, but I think CTX is perfect for me at this point in time, since I won't have to think...
