    Travel Agent or No Travel Agent?

    How fun! Lorrayne's given you some great advice (everyone else, too!) Another web resource to check out for port activities and cruise reviews is cruisecritic.com I've taken 5 Mediterranean and European cruises and have booked both with a travel agent and without. I'm not sure there was...

    Who was your gateway drug to Cathe?

    Cathe's Step Heat was my first at-home workout, in 1995 or thereabouts. I had a Jane Fonda cassette tape that I used with my Walkman when traveling but otherwise I just went to high-low and step classes at the gym and didn't try anything at home. Sheila

    What is the best way to not miss the road trip announcement?

    I'm not Cathe, but I'd recommend signing up for her e-mail newsletter, if you have not already done so. There's a place to enter your e-mail address on the Cathe.com home page. Sheila

    baby shower gift

    By the fourth boy, she probably has these, but the Pee-pee Teepee's always get a laugh at a baby shower. Sheila

    work commute

    I just moved about 3.5 miles from where I work so I'll be able to walk to and from work most days. Prior to moving, I had a 20 mile, 30-35 minute drive which I found tolerable. For a while, I commuted about 45 miles and it took anywhere from 50 minutes to 2 hours depending on traffic...

    Are there any Cathletes in/near Glendale/Pasadena/Burbank, CA?

    Hey Neighbor! I'm Thousand Oaks, too. I've been working in TO for years but living by the beach. Decided to move closer to shorten the commute - I should be able to walk to work most days (at least when it's not raining like it was today!) Sheila

    Do you ever just want to throw everything out and start over?

    Oh Govtgirl, I hear you! I'm getting ready to move from a townhouse with 3 huge walk-in closets and a 2 car garage to a house with miniscule closets and a 1 car garage. I've lived here for 15 years and the accumulation is truly alarming. My plan is to rent out the townhouse after I move but...

    What is your favourite step workout?

    PowerMax! Hi amyleew! If you're looking to ease into Cathe's choreography, I highly recommend looking into some of Cathe's earlier videos where she teaches the moves more slowly. Bear in mind that the outfits and music are dated so take a look at the video clips and see if that's going to...

    Healthy Activities

    I agree completely! I'm not always capturing such lovely images as janie1234 posted and usually don't even bring a camera but walking outdoors is my #1 healthy activity. Starting my day with a walk and seeing the sun rise is a gift I try to give myself as often as possible. Going out for a...

    Polar F6

    I get 0 readings on my F7 sometimes when I get too close to the TV. Mostly happens during step workouts when doing moves off the opposite side of the step. It usually settles back down when I move away from the TV. Sheila

    Emjoi Hair Removal System

    I think the tweezer-type epilators are better than the old coil-type. I also had an Epilady coil thing and found it too painful to use. I don't have an Emjoi but I have a Braun epilator that looks similar and, while it's still somewhat painful, it's much more efficient. Yes, it yanks the hair...

    Success with an eating plan??

    Like Melissa, this has been my experience as well. I've been using Fitday, although there are lots of ways to accomplish this end. I've taken a break over the holidays but I'm going to start up next week. I hope to address these last 5 or so pounds but I'm at a healthy weight now so maintaining...

    Any Recommendations for Healthy Cookbook for a Christmas Gift?

    Unless you're following up on a request for an actual book, I'll second the recommendation for a gift subscription to Cooking Light. Nice to get new recipes and fitness suggestions to suit the season all year long. Sheila

    Talks of Mammogram Screenings AFTER 50

    No flames from me. You did a good job of introducing the risk-benefit angle. Here's an article from today's LA times that gives more examples: Cancer screening: What could it hurt? A lot, actually Sheila

    GoWear Fit vs FitBit

    I posted a link to this published review of the FitBit on another thread. My take was that it's interesting but not quite ready to do what I would want. Sheila

    Favorite Wines?

    I second Michelle's recommendation for an inexpensive red. I tried a few of the Italian reds at Trader Joe's and this one was my favorite, too. I liked it better than some of the pricier bottles. I like the Cline Zin's that have been mentioned by others. Just spent the weekend in Sonoma...

    Go Wear Fit!

    No Debbie, you're not the only one! At first glance, I also thought this thread was about a new brand of cute workout clothing! Sandra, I'll echo Debbie's thanks for posting your experiences. These things are fascinating to me. I'm sort of doing the same experiment (logging my food and...
