I love 4DS also. I work full time, have kids (you know the drill) and need a ton of flexibility in my workouts. I can do the four days as is, can just kick box or do the bootcamp section if I'm really pressed for time and need something quick, but I often find myself double or tripling up on...

My name is Carole and I've been working out with Cathe for almost a decade now and, of course, lurking here! Jumping in to this thread. My personal mantra is to tell myself "I've come too far to quit now" and it seems to work for me. I'm 45, have lost around 35 punds and 5 dress sized with...

My daughter gets that too. She is 5'4" and just under 100 pounds, but has an unbelievably tiny frame and no breasts to speak of. But she is an excellent eater (no sweet tooth) and menstruates regularly. Her doctor thinks all is well and I do too. She looks thin, but not skinny, because she...

If she wasn't like this before, why do you think she's like this now? Something must have happened in her life for a dramatic personality change. If you are her friend, maybe you know. I would bet that's the root of the problem and maybe you could take it from there. I mean, people don't get...

I have a co-worker whom I know has a heart of gold. She is a good woman who would do anything to help someone out, and we are very close. Lately, though, she has fallen into a habit of being completely self-absorbed and it is being noticed and talked about all over the office, including by her...

I saw someone wearing acqua leg warmers in Manhattan last week. I had to literally stop and gawk at her. They look even worse now than they did back in their heyday! Carole

My thyroid stopped functioning just before my 9th birthday and after 30+ years of dealing with it, I've learned that it is enormously important to take thyroid supplements very early in the day, as many hours away from iron preparations (my particular version of Hashimoto's causes...

Have you all noticed how absolutely joyful Cathe seems in the new series? She seems to be having a blast (pardon the pun) and it's contagious! I did Kickmax last night and loved that one too. So far I've done Muscle Max and Kick Max and felt great doing both. My shoulders are sore as all...

>You wouldn't even sacrifice yourself for your child? I would >in a heartbeat. I know I would take a bullet for my children without thinking twice. I think "sacrifice" is in the eye of the beholder, kwim? In my particular case, the person caring for my kids after school is their other...

I haven't done this workout yet and am wondering if it has the same "fun factor" as IMAX 2? Carole

Hashimoto's is a form of hypothyroidism, but it is an auto-immune disease similar to lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. In my particular case (everyone is different, of course) my immune system attacked and killed my thyroid and then went after my red blood cells. At its worst, my hemoglobin count...

Wow Donna you have thyroid disease, too? I posted my "return from hell" post the other day and the core of my year-long odyssey of illness and baldness was Hashimoto's disease. Carole

>The idea that my husband is "supporting me" is totally >foreign. I don't even think that way. We have a partnership. > He works and makes the money to pays the bills and I raise >the kids. I guess I am not worried about not being able to >earn my own way in life because I have an...

I've been blessed in the breast department. DD with no sagging. It's all genetic and I take no credit! Carole

Quoting: I also want her to grow up with the realization that she should only rely on herself to take care of herself when she's older. I could never, ever be dependant on my husband for my financial support. I want her to strive to become a self-supporter and never feel trapped into a...
