Thanks, Elsie, for sharing your story and for the well wishes. I know what you mean about "wishing" for a Hashimoto's diagnosis. I too have found myself hoping for the same, but based on my symptoms, I am pretty certain I will not be so lucky and my case will not be that easy to manage. Like...

Hi Elsie, do you mind me asking what kind of autoimmune disease you have? I'm don't have a diagnosis yet but am getting tested. I've been experiencing serious fatigue myself... Also, if I remember correctly, you were a Millionaire Hoy and Fit Body by Julia fan in the past -- have you stopped...

I agree as well. I haven't done it in ages, but remember it as being one of Cathe's harder DVDs.

Colleen, thanks for the tips! So timely because I just bought a high step last month! Darn, now I have one fewer excuse for not doing Julia's workouts... :oops:

That makes me feel better, Colleen! I can't do unassisted pistol squats so if I see any kind of pistol squat on her breakdown, I usually don't do the workout! How do you modify? Just hold onto something while you are going down and up?

I'm a huge fan too -- but I probably spend more time "checking out what she's doing" than doing what she's doing. Her workouts are so crazy tough that I can't bring myself to attempt most of them!:eek:

I look forward to that, Elsie! It sounds like you and I have somewhat different taste I gravitate towards more cardio intensive workouts so I tend to avoid workouts that have an upper body focus, whereas you like those(?). Today, however, I made myself do her "No Equipment Burpee Time...

I second Jane -- when controlling for time, spinning registers a really high calorie burn on my Polar A300. I also find that any workouts that are heavy on squat overhead presses (where you're holding weights at your shoulders, squatting and then pushing the weights above your head as you come...

Hi Elsie! I agree that Julia is a total rockstar -- she has the most impressive plyo box jumps and ninjas that I've ever seen. Indefatigable! Recently she's been doing workouts that her followers have created for her. They are so creative! It's nice to know that some people far crazier than...

For all the PHAT fans out there, here's a good one on YouTube. I admit that I haven't done it myself but Julia puts together great, excruciatingly tough workouts! This is the breakdown: Round 1: 6 Exercises, 3x 1. Weighted Bulgarian Lunge (R) 12 reps Weighted Bulgarian Lunge (L) 12 reps 2...

I just bought Oikos Triple Zero plain yogurt, which is described as "mild flavor" on the lid. http://www.oikosyogurt.com/products/triple-zero-single-serve/plain/ It tastes surprisingly sweet to me for plain yogurt (caveat that I'm used to eating the traditional plain yogurt which is very...

I'd love to know this too!

Hi Lisa, I'm very sorry to hear about your tendonitis. I haven't been officially diagnosed with it but I unfortunately have the same symptoms, so I'll be interested in any responses that others can provide.

That's amazing, Kayla! So happy for you. Congrats on the achievement!

Thank you, BlakKat! I think Millionaire Hoy calls that exercise "accordions."
