    Roku Channel Update?

    I am so excited!!! :D I've been on the fence about signing up, so was waiting for Roku to be the tipping point. Just on the fence because I want to be sure I'm going to actually DO the workouts, not any doubt that this is an AWESOME service - if I have to hook up the computer before every...

    Anyone Still Here From Early 2000's?

    Too funny! I popped over to cathe.com to check out the new videos and thought I'd see how the forum was doing. I needed to log in to post a wave to you all - surprisingly, I remembered both my screen name AND my password!!! This is going to be a great day! LOL I've been doing Cathe for...

    Wheat free/lower carb--any success?

    I may not be the best person to respond, but I thought I'd pass along my experience since I have managed to go 'lower carb' with some success. Last year I did a 12 week program (TLS Weightloss) that really changed my life. I have been a carb lover all my life - years and years of following a...

    HELP needed for new pool owner !

    Hi! I was in your shoes about 5 years ago - never had a pool before and bought a house that had one. I was pretty intimidated! The first year, we tried doing it ourselves with the help of the local pool store and hired a professional to do the opening and closing. It was very expensive and...

    Best cold remedies

    I just fought off a sinus cold with immune tea, green juice 'smoothies', Zicam, neti pot, and humidifier - really, I had just started feeling yucky and started with all of the above. It seemed to help, as it did not develop beyond a few days of sniffles and a tiny bit of a scratchy throat. On...

    My skin - what happened?

    No, I didn't! That's wonderful that you have come through so much - we are in the midst of a battle with stage IV with my SIL, and I know how grueling the fight is... Sometimes it's just day to day, as I'm sure you know. Every day is "One More Day" and we are grateful for that. Knowing that...

    My skin - what happened?

    "The purpose of life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave with a well-preserved body, but rather, to slide in sideways, completely used up, yelling and screaming, 'What a ride!'" — Author Unknown i love that quote!! While I think all the advice for creams, supplements, hydration, etc. are...

    who quit coffee for green tea?

    Coffee in moderate quantities is not a bad thing, is it? I do coffee first thing and add in tea later in the day. If you're worried about cutting caffeine, you could try switching to half caff coffee for a bit, and then decaff if necessary. FWIW, coffee and tea have comparable antioxidant...

    Pregnancy & Fitness??

    Hi! Wanted to chime in with some thoughts... First of all, it may just be me, but is your DH's concern about your body changing a healthy concern? It's hard to tell in posts/print, but I just wanted to ask because it's not usually the first thing a loving husband who wants to have a family...

    DH said he doesn't want man arms on me grrrr

    I don't think a man is necessarily threatened by a woman's strength/fitness just because he doesn't prefer the muscled look. I know lots of secure, emotionally healthy men who like women who look very pin-up girly: big boobs, round butts, slim arms and legs. It's just their preference. Now I...

    Procedures for heavy periods

    How does an ablation fix PMS issues? I thought it was the hormones that cause PMS... Does the ablation stop the hormones from cycling? Regarding the vitamin A issue, that is very interesting. I'd never heard anything like that before but will certainly look into it! Thanks!

    Oh my! We're starting in a week, and we're all HAPPY about that ! The kids are ready to go back, and I'm ready for them to go back, too :D We've had a lot of fun this Summer and now it's time for them to go have fun with their school friends - I'm exhausted! ;) Our school year is packed...

    Can a woman fake having a "soft side?"

    Have to pop in with another bid for The Five Love Languages. A friend recommended it to me awhile back and when I finally got around to reading it, I wish I'd read it sooner. One of the main points that I got was that we tend to treat others with the Love Language that means the most to us...

    Possible move to PA - HELP!

    Don't be afraid - I spent part of my childhood in that area and didn't require therapy or anything :D Mt. P. is a little bit rural, as I remember. What about Greensburg? There's a little more going on there, and it's not too far from Mt. P if you have to commute for work. City of...

    What's going on? Advice?

    You mention having a baby in the past year? I'm not a doctor, but I have had 4 babies, and I know that after each one, it took me awhile to get myself back to 'normal'. Like over a year, sometimes (seems like it took longer with each one - maybe I'm just gettin' old :) ) When you think...

    Help, I'm nutritionally challenged! Or something...

    I think I understand where you're coming from, and I think you know that your eating habits are the problem. It's a far journey from knowing the problem and overcoming it, though! I totally feel your pain! Could you try to change just a few things, slowy but with a strong focus? Maybe try...

    Did I really start Running?

    We should start a check-in for the Non-runner runners :D I just did a few miles on the tm last night 'by accident'. I've been on the fence about trying for a daily attempt at running but have been putting it off because it just seems so hard. Really, though, it's pretty efficient cardio and...

    Working parent guilt... help!!

    I certainly am no expert - I'm practically a professional level worrier and could probably qualify for the Olympics if tying myself in knots over parenting decisions were an event... But I can tell you a few things that I try to do that make me think maybe my kids and I will survive their...
